It’s easy. Tell your friends and anyone considering GW2 to spend their precious money elsewhere. Even if GW2 is at 50% off, it’s not worth the experience of being tossed to the side for weeks, even months, whenever there’s a problem
And this is the problem. I’ve been playing for nearly two years and NEVER had a connection problem or excessive lag. I’m willing to wager a large majority of players are the same so there is something unique about those who are constantly experiencing problems.
Actually I played for more than 1 year and never had this kind of issues, but now, my speedtest result is very good, my ping with my ISP is very good, my computer is also very good. I can play without troubles for the whole morning but when the “cursed time” comes the game starts to be unplayable. Every single result shows the problem is between my ISP and NCSoft.
I can assure you that many players who are posting here already wrote about their problem in the correct thread. This is not about screaming and crying like a baby for lag issues, this is about a real problem of increased lagspikes and latency all around EU.
This doesn’t mean that EVERY SINGLE player has lag, only means that after November 18th update this trouble got worse. And people here just want an answer to their post, no matter what the answer is, they sent tikets, they sent posts to help the dev team, now they at least want to know if they read it or not, if they are working to fix it or not. I think this is the point.
Lucky you if you don’t have this kind of issues, but since I know for sure that many people who never had lag issues now have massive lagspikes you cannot define this as “something unique about those who are constantly experiencing problems”.

Massive lagspikes even when my connection is perfect. Playing is impossible in any way and I get disconnected many consecutive times. World events are absolutely impossible to complete, my character can stand in the same place for even 2 or 3 minutes (sometimes even more). Often I can see other people running around but I cannot interact with them.
I tried to test this last thing with a friend of mine and these are the results:
- I cannot use my skills neither I can use something in my inventory.
- I can see other players moving and their position is correct.
- If I am downed at the end of the lagspike they cannot ress me and they cannot see me in the spot where I am until I am up again. Once I am up they can instantly see me in that spot.
- If this happens when I am using Ride the Lightning this will cause that skill going on for a VERY long time and after that my character starts teleporting backward and forward a lot of times making movement impossible even when the lagspike is over.
This happens many times, also with different servers.
EDIT: at the end of each lagspike I usually get disconnected and logging back in is always very difficult and sometimes I also get the “Connection Error” message. Very often my game also restarts after getting disconnected this way.

I can vonfirm this bug, when you get transformed you only have 1 skill switch per slot, once you switch the skill once the arrow to select a new one for that slot disappears. This is even worse if you attack becouse after being in combat all the arrows disappear.
We had this in fractal many times in charr one and thaumanova reactor. The only way to change your skills is go back to lion’s arch. Unfortunatly once you enter you cannot change them again since if you enter the same fractal more than once with the same character you appear dead once in.
If your party members resurrect you the bug still happens, no arrows on skill slots. What can I say? For now I think the best way to overcome this bug is to leave transformation going back to Lion’s Arch if you are in fractal or in the closest map if you are in a dungeon (e.g. Plains of Ashford if you are in AC).
