Guild Wars 2

What kind of issue are you specifically having that could be related to lag?
Skill lag: often not apparent until I realize the veil I dropped hasn’t appeared (or appears behind the commander — always fun) or an iBeserker has not spawned despite my tendency to spam 4.

Rubber-banding: Usually of other toons. I’ll be happily plugging along, and other people will suddenly and quite randomly start bouncing back and forth. Interestingly, I rarely rubber-band on my own toon.

Frozen movement: I’ve recently started getting this weird situation where I’m moving but my character isn’t. She just stands there like an idiot with her sword in the air. I can turn, but not strafe or run. Dodge has no effect. Blink has no effect. I have to /sit to break the lock, which is entertaining in the middle of a zerg battle, as you might imagine. Didn’t start happening until the lag became an issue.

What server are you on?
TC

Has there ever been a time when you or a friend are experiencing lag, while others in your party are not?
Yes, though it’s usually more universal. Sometimes others complain about it but I don’t notice it — I assume because we have a fatter pipe.

Has there ever been a time where one party in a map is experiencing lag, while other parties in that same map are not?
Yes. Usually the lag is restricted to areas with lots of other players.

Do you experience the lag at very specific times? For example, when 1 zerg is facing another zerg. If so, can you estimate how many players are in each zerg?
Lag has always been primarily related to the number of other models on the map, particularly player models. Usually 100+ within visual will trigger it, and it scales exponentially with the number of people involved.

Someone else mentioned that it seems worse around structures. I think I would agree with that. The worst I’ve experienced has been around SMC and in the valley between Garri and NW Tower (which was nearly unplayable in a 3-way battle last night).

EDIT: Additional info, per the Intel/AMD discussion above. I’m running an i7-2600, 3.4GHz. We have Gigabit internet and hard-wired connections. My video driver is AMD Radeon HD6800. All drivers are up to date. Only programs run during gaming are Mumble and the virus scanner.
