Guild Wars 2

Oh and another thing I noticed at the same time….

Sometimes, when you have a mob selected…in their name or description it has a weird uppercase “E” with a little accent mark over it. I also noticed this on some items..nothing specific comes to mind at the moment though. I would happily log in and tell you, but with the lag, and now not being able to click certain mobs or NPC’s sometimes, I can not. The problem seems to get worse and/or new with each patch.

So, I have been following the forums for about 10 days or so, hoping to see a miracle solution to this issue.

Several people, from all corners of the world it seems are having the same issue I am.

You go through GW2, happily playing, leveling, lighting things on fire….then one day…as if by some evil arcane plan…..Poof!! You are lagging worse than AOL in 1999 at 5 pm cst.

My FPS before this issue are unknown to me…..since I had no issue, I had no reason to look at them. But….now my average FPS are 3. …………..3 really?…..yes…….3

At first when this problem started, it was fixed by either a teleport or a relog. Now though…nothing helps. I even uninstalled GW2, and re installed it…then let it update the 214 some odd thousand files..which took another 6 hours btw….and nothing.

It IS NOT MY ISP. My fiance also plays on his lap top…and he has yet to experience an issue. It is my guess, not being a computer master mind by any stretch of the imagination, that something in the patches is conflicting with certain files, progs, something…and by accident GW2 compromised the gameplay for a large section of their player base. Either that, or they are having issues themselves.

Either way…this stinks. Not the slightly smelly, but tolerable kind of stink either. OH No…….it’s the breathe it in, gag a little, hold your breath till you are blue, and run from the area kind of stink.

It makes me sad.
