I’m sure they are aware of it, as for a fix I have no idea if one is coming or not. Many are getting pulled into terrain or gates or even stealing can get you stuck into nearby terrain. Although I can see the hilarity of the situation, this is something that needs to be fixed el pronto. I think some changes when gliding came made things worse, although it was happening before then too. I don’t think they’ve said anything about it, but I could be wrong, but they do definitely know about it.
Either it is from lag/desync or possibly corrupted files. Other than that I have no idea sorry. You could do a few things maybe like -repair game client, delete cache files, delete local.dat (this will reset graphics and sound config back to default, but won’t touch keybinds – at least it hasn’t for me but keep a backup anyway), but preferably just repair client. I haven’t had time to check on my ele but I know whenever walls aren’t showing there is usually some kind of lag for me.
This problem has been around for a long time – there were devs that responded to it (both on here and reddit) but I never saw it resolved or what caused it. Personally I had tried 4-5 mouse which were not all the same manufacturer and still encountered the problem. Yes, cleaned, and few new. Atm I am not having the problem where I cannot right click mouse and it doesn’t “latch” or it releases randomly, but after you mention this I will be fearing if it comes back again [since it is so random between patches]. I thought possibly that it may have been either something to do with lag, or mouse dpi issues (for some it may have been a switch on right mouse button that needed cleaning). I am primarily a WvW player so I see this happening mainly in fights but I’ve seen players mention they get it in pve and elsewhere.
Okay guys, after being kinda forced to pick vabbi if i wanted tier 1 server i saw that vabbi dropped fml. I havent even had the time to lvl my charactrr to 80 and play wvw
I wouldn’t worry about it too much, just ride out the storm and stay where you are and just play. It’s all good, you will still level up.
I think for wvw things need to be toned down a lot because of performance issues – imagine now if they decided to make it look as best they can but now more than 90% of players are watching a slide show. I think it would be bad. I think in wvw case it’s more about optimizing maps for performance.
I don’t know, if there is skillful play involved it wouldn’t matter if they other side stacked toughness/vitality – they are still going to die imo. Put some marauder/valkryie pieces on if you have trouble staying alive, it won’t harm the dmg output that much. I think the risk/reward on squishy builds are where they should be, for me at least.
The problems with lag spikes have happened way before the undersea cable problem [for some of us], as well as before the ddos happened – it has just carried on until now. The problem is further magnified by the undersea cable issue for others.
The 10.83.74.x ip’s are the ones I’ve been talking about lately. For some reason whenever I get those ip’s I get my normal avg ping which is supposed to be around 230-260ms [however whenever i am on the normal 206.127.159.x/206.127.146.x ip’s there is terrible lag and I am getting well over 300ms+ pings with bad lag spikes (up to 4k). I think the amazonaws servers don’t have the usual terrible routing that gives us the bad latencies at the handoff [from telia/level3] but this is just a seperate lag matter from skill lag itself which is also server side. I am surprised that this ip is giving you the opposite effect however. How are your pings with when connected to maps with 206.127.159.x/206.127.146.x ip addresses? Btw I’m on rof so if you wanna chat about it we can talk on server too since we’re paired just add me I’ll probably know who you are if you message.
Hello, we have a few accounts in the house… what can I say, ANET takes a lot of our money.
Anyway, one has email auth and it keeps failing. On the game it doesn’t say why but when I tried to log into the account on the website it says that the auth code is expired… but it’s under 30 seconds old. An account here with SMS has no problems. I wish we could SMS auth the other account but that would require 2 accounts to share a phone number and the system won’t allow that.
Also, I tried to click the above link for support and Firefox blocks it, saying that it’s not secure and is not configured correctly.
You guys okay over there?
I had this problem before if trying to auth on the website itself – i had to clear my cookies. if it is from the launcher however I don’t know about dealing with that one sorry.
PS – are you sure they can’t share a number? I think they might be able to
Good luck with that nothing is going to change. Those of us who have had the lag in forever have just had to deal with it, and it is not getting any better. Besides changing isp/country/using vpn, I think you will still experience some kind of skill lag if what you are experiencing is server side.
Do gw2 maps get hosted on amazonaws servers randomly or something? Noticed this recently – or at least a different ip from the normal [normal being 206.127.159.x/206.127.146.x on EU], and I don’t get the dreaded routing from telia or level3 when I am connected to it.
In all fairness, get 40 condi reapers together and the same thing will happen. 40 burn DH and similar will happen. 40 condi thieves and similar will happen. (in all reality, 40 any 1 class will drop anything)
I kinda want to see Ali Baba & the 40 condi thieves XD
Ascended trinkets drop pretty much every day in WvW.
You must be swimming in them if it’s every day. Also, trinkets? I’ve only had armor/wep/rings drop. Accessory/amulets have not dropped for me ever. Anyone get those from wvw before?
It’s World Vs Lag XD
In any case, for me I am not fighting vs players primarily – first and foremost I am fighting with lag, the leading cause of death and disruption in my wvw experience.
Sorry to hear it is still not working for you. I do recall reading that people who had the same problem were the only ones who could /t chat with each other for some reason. Hope the devs fix it.
Stealing as a thief makes you get swallowed by terrain too – it’s happened to me on my thief as well as other thieves fighting me lol. Seemed to be happening more lately.
I wonder where are the people constantly telling folks to run pingplotter now (because surely, there is no possible way it’s anet’s servers to blame)
Yep, especially not appearing since it was confirmed that the servers were being ddos’ed amongst other things. Usually it’s always “it’s not a problem with anet servers”. Haven’t seen them say anything about it for a while now haha.
I was using steal on someone who was slightly to the left of my character in the picture and I ended up inside that small hill in front of my char at that corner. Happen to anyone before? Both me and my enemy laughed. This is that small hill near Ogrewatch’s sentry.
I am getting that same exact ip again, except this time it is in bitterfrost frontier map. This is just plain odd. Again, the latency from this ip is good like how my normal direct connection should be, around ~230ms. I am not on any vpn and this is my direct connection to server. Anyone at anet know what’s going on and can explain to me what this weird ip is? I’m getting it when AddressCurrent: 35.150.151.65
This would kind of make sense if if was in NA because that is usually the latency I get but I’m on EU on my main account where it is definitely over 300-3k.
Update: I think I know what’s happening now. I think what I’m seeing is that some of our servers in EU are being hosted by what seems to be spare NA servers. Got one on the enemy alpine border with ip 10.83.74.213 and I get the usual latency I get from NA servers. Again the AddressCurrent was a 35.150.151.x on connecting to that border. I’m not sure how random this is, but now I’ve seen it a few times on wvw maps and once on a pve map [it was at bitterfrost frontier but I don’t pve much so I don’t know how widespread it is]. Now the question is, do NA servers get used as some kind of spare/overflow servers for EU? I don’t mind at all since I like the lower latency.
I usually just watch for a moment and watch for signs of a duel (stomping, 2v1, someone interrupting…etc) and once I see something, I then go in. If I don’t see a /bow if a fight starts around me, I also jump in.
Maybe its because i usually run solo/duo or i follow the golden rules, who knows. If I can tell its a duel, I just move along. Its not hurting me if people are dueling, nor will I act like an idiot if someone tells me to stop attacking, or that its a duel. Thats the difference between being ignorant and not caring, or being respectful despite where the fight takes place.
Its a game
I do this as well, but depending on my mood if it’s red it’s dead for anything else I can’t tell the situation. Sometimes I’ve accidentally killed duelers cos it did not look like one, other times I’ve left people alone and got screamed for not helping – that said if I plan on sticking longer than 15s I always prepare to kill just in case.
hey guys.. is there any way to do a tracert like in the old days to see whats happening between my pc and server?
Im getting a TON of lag when in game.. my ping is around 300-3000 in game.. but every other game is fine.. no delay and ping as low as 20 ms.
When i get in WVW the lag makes the game unplayable.
Characters jumping around etc.. but meanwhile TSpeak doesnt lag or anything and when i check my speed (speedtest.net) my ping is less than 20ms and at least 19mb a sec download and 6mb upload… so its not my connection to server.)
I am running a brand new i7 7700 cpu 16g ram and i have the game installed on a 120 gb SD drive. Video card is a GeForce 1060 3gb video card.
I’m in the same boat as you, been months frankly with very rare periods that it goes back to normal. I just tried a few games in pvp, 300-3k ping is making me want to spoon my eyes out. Have to hop on vpns just to get a sane ping.
Ahh. I only made my char on the 2nd beta. I’m guessing we just have to wait until they delete all the beta characters for whenever that happens. I’m not in any rush but I will have to remember what my character looked like hehe. Ty for the info too!
I’ve been reading past posts about this problem when HoT came out and it was fixed by someone on Anet by the name of Susan, so I am hoping the same thing will happen here. Will be waiting for someone on Anet to give some input, but if they can fix this like they did from HoT beta I will be happy.
Do the character names used in beta demo get purged so we can use them again or is that forever taken? If not I have learned a valuable lesson here haha.
Just searched some past posts and they say to wait 1-24hrs, but if anyone wants to chime in please do so.
Yeah but any ip will do as a general, I am pretty sure they would end up around the same latency overall. I’m just asking for any ip to do a quick test. No one can do something small? I’m not going to sign up my account to an NA server just to find out and signing up an f2p account just to do that is backwards when I can ask someone to quickly paste an ip here. Just type /ip in chat and paste the ip here
Can someone from NA do me a quick favour and paste the ip using /ip from any wvw map? I’ve always been playing on EU servers but I want to know what kind of general ping I’ll get from the servers on NA. Thank you.
I’m on EU, just noticed a new server ip pool, 10.83.74.53
Also I noticed I am getting the normal ping I had before all ping problems. Instead of over 300-eternity pings I am getting 210-240’ish. Ty anet if you were working on that.
update: 240 (avg 330) <— avg fluctuates
PS: this was on eb map, and yes it still lags when you encounter blobs but at least it’s nice for me to see it go this “low” compared to lately.
PPS: I hope these are new servers which fix many of the routing/latency problems that many people were having especially from ocx,sea,aus, etc. Still lagged in fights but I’ll take improved routing over nothing. Hope it stays and is not just a one off thing for the testing.
For those curious, the normal ip’s we get are usually like 206.127.159.xxx and 206.127.146.xxx
New Update: Ok, well that was sad. It is now back to original ip pools so back to bad routing and ping again. I assume server crashed again. That did not last long.
Last update: Looking over the ip, I just realise it may be a private address ip [10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255.255 range] – but why is it showing that in the game client (definitely none of my local network ip’s, mine are in 192.168.0.* range). I was connected directly, no vpns involved. Whatever it was, I had gotten a good connection at the time.
I have noticed the charge bar fills at faster rate when there is server lag. This makes it hard to aim from a distance.
When I have lag I tend to miss because the charge bar looks like it’s doing nothing and I let go early, or I have to press it again because it doesn’t register. This of course has nothing to do with the current changes, just lag in general when using siege.
It gets boring to steam roll people over and over again due to populations difference.
It is more engaging to feel the frustration and rage of the loses at similar populations.
I feel like I can agree with this – the problem is when one of those stays the same way for a long time, it needs a balance for both ends of the spectrum aka win some/lose some. One side gets bored, the other side gets frustrated and if it doesn’t change then people will become demotivated doesn’t matter who is winning/losing.
just add me I’ll probably know who you are if you message.
