Guild Wars 2

Edell.1286:

I hope the support won’t mind but here is the answer they gave me :
(note : France Telecom is my Internet Service Provider)

“Thank you for bringing this issue to my attention today. We have seen issues for a few weeks now with France Telecom and it’s connection to Guild Wars 2. We have narrowed down that this is a routing issue with the ISP and we do not have any way to fix this. We can verify this is your issue by Running a ping plotter test (below). Please run this test during the hours when you are having issues. "

Well at least it’s a known issue, and I’m not the only France Telecom player encoutering it… so now I’m going to run their tests, send it, and I guess I’ll just have to wait & see.

I don’t see how this is a client issue since I’m from the other side of the world and my routing will take a totally different path. Unless when our ISP’s hit the USA they go through the same ISP State side and that 3rd party ISP is total kittens.

from: New Zealand
server: Rall

lag and lots of it

No reply for 3 hops. Assuming we reached firewall.

I know I’m a long way away but when i first got this game it ran without any problems, minimum FPS of 31 (it still runs like that) but ever since shadow of the mad king and even the last patch the game is unplayable. I really don’t want to quit this game.

Thanks for the input guys. lowest FPS i get is around 31 fps when LA is packed out. FPS is not really a big one lag is the killer atm.

Though I would get some input on this
currently running a 6770hd 1gig (128 bit faster clock speeds) would this out preform the 4850hd 1gig (256bit in storage) in Guild Wars 2.

If guild wars does only use Dx 9c*? then is the 4850 hd a better choice.

The reason for the 6770 in the first place is i do 3d modeling part time and needed a dx11 card.

Also side note how well does GW2 do with Xfiring either i could get a 2nd cheap 6770 or sell the both as the are both mint and get a better card all together.

Though i would kill some time since all i can do is trading post due to lag atm.

lag spike issues still for the last few weeks, and within the last few days my mini map looks like I have never explored the area. yet my main map is fine.

http://speedtest.net/result/2324244657.png here is a ping test showing that is not my isp.

I know 405 isn’t great but that’s the best anyone will get from 7300 miles away.
405 is still very playable. however I’m getting more like 1000ms plus response time spikes in game.

(how hard is it to do a repair on the game does anyone know? talking about the -repair* command one the .exe)

please fix.

Same lag for the last month getting worse. I now only play on the trading post as WvW is a joke. I have a med high end game system I get 41 FPS min regardless of lag however I press to use a skill and 2 to 6 sec later it works, everything else runs fine without lag.

please fix this

ping test on the two servers for guild wars 2 game according to Comodo (at the time) are 64.25.40.120:6112 and 64.25.33.81:6112

ping stats for 64.25.40.120= min 196ms/ max 197ms Aver 196ms

ping stats for 64.25.40.81= request timed out on all four attempts.

GW2 is cleared on my firewalls, other games have been tested without lag
a speed test has been done many times to check my ISP and it comes back with 7.8gbps down and 1gbps upload, up to 10gbps and 1.5gbps upload.
I have checked my hardware for problems nothing comes up.
I still get the lag.

please help.

Kevin beat me to it!!!

HOW I DID IT.

I had the same bug where the second team would not keep agro.

1. when you get to the cave kill everything BUT leave the VET. (do not go near the 2nd team yet)

2. go the to part that becomes blocked off, then go back to the start of the cave to trigger the cave worms (if they didnt trigger before hand)

3. everything but the VET should be dead go to the 2nd team kill the VET now.

4. learn the agro range watch what the NPCs/2nd team do. when you are still near to where you killed the VET the NPCs will run back to their starting spot when you move away and run to you when your close. (you are faster than them use this)

5. let some of them move back to their starting point grab the agro from them and RUN just RUN to the blocked cave. if they catch up to you, you will lose agro.

I hope this helps guys and girls.

P.s. i had a speed sig on at the time.

wanted for two Kiwi players currently on Sanctum of Rall. happy to change servers while its free.

Cheers
