I play from Argentina. Same kitten thing, i had like 8 hours of lag today. Now im sudenly all f. day lagged, this is forcing me to find another game
my normal ping was 180. Now my normal ping is 200-250. Lag spikes from 400 (which is normal now…) to 3.900.
so sad
Hello, i am from Costa Rica and I am experiencing the same problems as you. But there is Almost nothing you can do about it, an operator of our country(latino América) will never communicate with lvl3 for it be cause they Think that its not their direct problem. So we only can wait for a miracle Lol
This is the second test I did today. yes i understand your point ,we are a minority and it is likely that the problem is not directly Anet but what catches my attention is the fact that before the last patches could play without any problem.
Anets servers are in Seattle. Speed test takes the nearest server. To do an accurate speed test you would need a Seattle speed test server from your location. Honestly you are getting packet loss at your ISP from that picture so I would expect some issues with speed test as well. But it’s hard to tell which hop exactly is giving you issues because the packet loss is like a domino effect working its way down from the top. My guess is another hop on your way to Seattle is also giving you an issue but it’s hard to tell which one since you have problems starting at your ISP from that ping plotter test. Maybe try to run the ping plotter a few times and see if you have different results.
But it’s very normal to have issues with gw2 and not another game like wow. Their servers are in completely different locations in the US. A hop is basically a road your internet is taking to get to a server. If a hop is bad you get issues. A hop to Seattle is most likely having issues but it’s hard to tell which one as I discussed. Hops to something like wow servers (which are not in Seattle) from where your location is are fine.
Your ISP can change the way your route goes to go around hops or pressure them to fix them when there are issues. But usually they just give you the run around and say it’s Anet even tho it isn’t because when it comes down to it they aren’t going to go through the effort to contact the hop owners.
Lastly it’s not Anet’s servers or everyone would be having issues. I could post a ping plot test that shows no issues. If their servers are having packet loss then everyone has to have issues, not just a few people. One person out of 100 people not having an issue means Anet is fine
Thanks for all this information. I’m from South America, then this can contribute to the problems seen in my IPS but almost always they are displayed during the morning / afternoon, overnight can play normally without disconnections.
Following your recommendations did more tests, the first I made yesterday during the night, and the others today at noon.
I’ve been experiencing connectivity issues for a couple weeks. I live in the North East United States. I’ve been fine for a whole week, and this morning the issue has returned.
Severe lag followed by a disconnect. The type of lag where you activate an ability and it just flashes but your character does nothing.
I wont bother posting my system specs, because I know that this is an issue outside of my Computer/Wifi. When I use the shared internet on my phone to play GW2 I have no connectivity issues.
Is anyone else in the Northeast United States having this issue? I’m thinking something wrong with a hub or something.
I also have this problem after the patch 03/22/2016, a lot of lag and disconnections , it’s not funny at all :c. I checked in different pcs and different places too , and is only this game that present problem.
This information reveals nothing. You have to run ping plotter as outlined in this thread
As you suggested i made the test , but i don’t understand too much about it. Could you explain me?

I am not from Northeast United States , but i have the same problem. and this problem use to happen usually at mornings/afternoon every 5-10 minutes. It’s really annoying

Mine too! It only started after the patch and nothing else has a problem with connection. I get disconnected to character screen every 5-10min now.
Yes seems like we are not alone but its not everybody, before that patch I was playing fine. Without any disconnection now I experiment horrible lag spikes. I can’t do fractals or raids because i Know i will get a disconnection.
