Guild Wars 2

Hello I am having the exact same problem and I am sure it’s not ISP throttling as its very early morning here (3am) here (I’m in NZ) but it is peak time for US I’m guessing. I have tested my connection etc, no problems there. Nor am I having issues with other games. I’m convinced there is a problem with the server. Very frustrating.

Very bad again tonight and was fine earlier today. Very frustrating as it’s when I have a decent chance to play. Any ideas?

Update: Tonight I have played for several hours with only a couple of patches of lag worth noting. Compare this to the same time last night which was absolutely terrible and unplayable. What I did notice is there was far less people in the zone tonight then there was the night before. Server crowding issue?

Hello. I am returning to GW2 after year or so hiatus. everything is great except for the lag spiking I’m having. It happens every 5 mins or so. I cant use any abilities, mobs stop moving and usually I wake up dead.

I have a brand new computer and wondering whether I need to open some ports or something as I dont remember having this problem last time I played.

I’m playing from Auckland, New Zealand (Yes I know I wont get the best ping from here but I dont think I should have lag problems like this)
Server: Crystal Desert

I have tested my internet on pingtest.net and got an A result. I also havent had an issues in other games Ive been playing recently.

I’m wondering if this has something to do with the new megaserver thing…

Any advice appreciated!
