Guild Wars 2

Gelfgar.7698:

Call me crazy but since most of us are seeing issues with the packet loss drop on the Dallas node before the anet servers that the type of load balancing they have set up is rejecting/dropping packets. And the reason not everyone is seeing this is because it obviously doesn’t drop everyone’s packets just if you happen to be the lucky contestant for the hour/day/week.

It just seems a little crazy that this game is soooo sensitive to network issues and it is effecting so many people for everyone to be having ISP issues for this long. This has been going on for months not just weeks something more really should be done on anets side. Get a network expert on this or something and give a detailed post of what they did to prove it’s not on your end other than having all of us use ping plotter which is a flawed system to prove something. In this day and age we all use internet for so many things and have no issues yet when it comes to this game it’s like my connection is walking on a tightrope.

I submitted tickets and diagnostics after many replies of saying drivers weren’t up to date and other typical IT responses I got the it’s your ISP packet drop loss excuse too even though this is only game that is effected.

I just had to stop doing WvW for now and hopefully it gets fixed if not it may be greener pastures for me.

I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this or it is just my machine. I have been playing gw2 since beta and never really had any issues with my machine. Ever since the fractal patch I have started to get more lag in game and my machine is running hotter than it ever has. Something I noticed is that I now see a lot more particle effects that I had never seen before. From seeing bright glows around people with legendaries to karka having glowy particle dust coming off them to just brighter animations.

I did not change any of my graphics options since the patch. I have a Nvidia 540m and I have a friend that plays with an integrated graphics card and he doesn’t see any of these particle effects much like I use to not see them before the patch. If anyone else is experiencing this and knows anyway to fix I would appreciate it. I have a support ticket open, but they keep just having me do basic things like disabling services and updating drivers which are not helping the issue at all.

I have been playing since beta and have never experienced the weird lag issues I am since the last fractal patch. I see people rubber banding and I am getting weird 1 second and half second skill delay on certain skills. I see this in both pve and WvW and not even in crowded areas. I did a latency test on gw2 and it is btwn 40-240 which is normal.

Only other thing I noticed since last patch is now with same graphic settings I had before the patch, I see more particle effects like legendary auras and karka glowing, which I never saw before. I have submitted a ticket ingame and asked ingame and many others are experiencing similar issues since the patch. I really wish anet would at least address this or explain any ninja performance changes that were made in last patch so that some light could be shed on this issue.
