OCX here and no ping issues. Would help the devs if you stated where you were from, what net you were using, in which aspects you lag(ged).

Since you linked a WvW lag thread, I assume it’s just there?

As stated in my original post in bold above I said the game was unplayable in all aspects because of extreme latency, genius. I am from Australia (east coast) and my internet connection is 125 download and 2.5 upload (I have fiber optic internet). I have troubleshooted this issue in GW2 by testing my internet via websites such as Speedtest.net and Pingtest.net which all returned extremely positive results. Additionally, I called my ISP to ensure there was nothing wrong with my internet, in which case they told me that my internet was operating in perfect condition. Moreover, I further tested my connection by noting my latency in other games, in domestic servers and West US servers. Domestic servers returned a ping of 10 and on West Coast USA servers I had a consistent ping of 210 – 240. Compared with GW2 ping of 1000 – 4000 and above.

For the past week or more the game has been unplayable in all aspects for OCX players as a result of extremely high latency which ranges anywhere from 1 – 4 thousand ping. In its current state this is inhibiting the game-play and leisure of an entire region and ArenaNet has not acknowledge the issue.

If people could please give me twitter usernames of ArenaNet developers so I can attempt to pass along this message it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have been experiencing the same issues as explained above by the original poster. This is an external matter non-related to an individual’s ISP, consequently, this is an issue that is reflexive to ArenaNet services. It is dismaying to see this occurring without any acknowledgement of the matter from ArenaNet staff.

Hello All,

There are a couple of reasons for the change to reset time. One is for the overall quality of the game. The last few years we have been careful to not disrupt the WvW reset time but this has at times made it difficult for our team to address issues during reset day. This change will give our team an extra day of the week that they can use to respond to issues that may occur with WvW or any other area of the game if it is necessary. In the early days we wanted reset to be during a weekday to ensure we had people available to monitor the game at reset time, but at this point we have seen the ongoing stability of World vs. World and resetting on a weekday is no longer necessary.

Another reason is the emergent gameplay that has come from reset. It has become one of the most exciting times for WvW and we would really love for more players to have the opportunity to experience it. We have many more players logging in on Saturday than on Friday which means with this change many more people will be available to experience the rush of claiming objectives for their world during reset.

However, given the concerns posted here we will be moving the Saturday reset to earlier in the day to give most players the majority of the day to enjoy the start of the new match. Immediately after launch the new time will be 11am PDT / 2pm EDT (6 pm UTC) for NA and 11am BST / 12 pm CEST (10 am UTC) for EU. Keep in mind that the following week with the end of Daylight Savings Time / Summer Time the reset times will be pushed even earlier to 10am PST/ 1pm EST and 10am GMT / 11am CET.

Thank you for your feedback. We realize that no time we pick is going to work for everyone but this change is going to benefit even more players overall while at the same time giving us a little more breathing room to improve the quality of the game during the week.

Thanks,
John

By making this change you are completely neglecting the player base of OCX and SEA players.

How about you stay where you are and make your own server stronger?

Not possible. I’m in SOR it is a ghost town since I last played. I just started playing GW2 again and if I can’t get into a T1 server for wvw I have no interest in continuing to play GW2.

Is it possible to transfer? Can you catch a full server coming off full to very full for a few mins once or twice a day ? Or are the tier 1 servers locked on full?

Good game all.
