Guild Wars 2

Hi. After a year+ break HoT brought me back to GW2.

IGN: Mojo Lux, Adari Lux is my main (Chrono)
Play Style: Mostly PvE atm but interested in WvW and PvP too
Role: Scholar (a lot has changed!)
Server: Blackgate
Time Zone: PST, GMT+8

Reached the end of my patience with this situation and the thunderous silence from Anet. The game is simply unplayable in its current state. And I wasted hours trying to troubleshoot a problem that is clearly Anet’s, not my rig, network or ISP.

Crap code, poor QC and absent customer service = Reinstalled SWTOR.

I’ve been suffering from this issue on the Blackgate server for several weeks and it seems to be getting worse, or maybe my patience is just wearing thin. Either way it is a very frustrating situation. Got dropped at least 6 times in an hour ealrier today – doesn’t matter where I am in-game, or what I’m doing. It is near constant lag, some stuttering game play, and then…DC. Rinse, repeat, add frustration.

Anet, gamers are a fickle lot so get your act together before you start losing significant numbers of players.

I too have been experiencing near constant lag and frequent DCs for the past several weeks. I play on the Blackgate server. It does not seem to matter where in-game I am, or what I’m doing. I get lag in story instances, walking through quiet areas solo, storming the gates of Arah with 50 other players, or simply trying to use the trading house in a hub city.

I have gone through everything I can think of; router & firewall settings, drivers, speed tests, anti-virus, heck I even opened my rig and did a complete Dust-Off cleaning; but still I lag, l..a..g, L…A…G, and then get dropped. I’ve been dropped more than half a dozen times this morning alone. It only happens to GW2 too. I can have video streaming in the background, AV scans running, etc…and the only thing that dies is GW2. I resent having to spend any free time double checking my system and connections. GW2 is something I do to relax and unwind.

Whatever is wrong seems to be server side. And frankly, it has made the game an unplayable mess.

I look forward to a swift resolution to this poor coding/implementation issue. If not, there are any number of other games I can play.

My Sys (all fully patched, current drivers, etc.)
i5-2400 @3.1Ghz
12 GB RAM
GTX 560 /1GB VRAM
Window 7 64-bit
ISP = ComCast , speed test & network monitor show 12-15 Mbps.
