For a while I thought I was going crazy, but I don’t so anymore! Is anyone else seeing this?
I maintain a typical 40-65ms latency (“ping”) to ncsoft’s servers (targeting what appears when you type “/ip” in the GW2 chat window). That’s totally fine and awesome.
Since the Great Patch, latency shoots as high as 4100ms during world boss events, as reported by the in-game Options menu.
At first I thought this was because I equipped [Signet of Comcast], but no. Other players in the map report the same lag spikes at the same time.
It might be during very large gatherings of players; I haven’t tested in WvW yet. For world boss events it’s very reliable. I’ve seen it trigger during Maw, Ulgoth, Shatterer, Jormag, and Teq. My FPS is fine, my CPU is running cool.
Is there already a thread on this? Are other folks seeing this too?
