Also from the Philippines and I apparently have the same problem as you guys. I can’t do anything aside from moving around and enemies either stand there or repeat their animations. Travel by waypoint? Isn’t happening.
It all started Feb 12, even before the maintenance update. I’ve been playing the game fine before then and now it just is unplayable.
I already sent a support ticket about this and I’m still waiting for their reply.
For my kababayan: I’m on Skycable (Metro Manila) and I’m on Borlis Pass.
I’m using Skycable Broadband too. The lag issues also happened to me on Feb 12/Tuesday. I really wonder if certain ISPs need to upgrade/change/fix something in their side to get rid of the lag issues when connecting to Anet’s servers. Although I doubt this theory too because I have no trouble surfing the web and playing other online games.
Reinstalling the game doesn’t work too.
Same thing from the philippines same ISP skycable broadband….. they even came to change my modem please fix this so i can get back to owning everyone in wvw.
Even up to now, nothing has changed on the connectivity issues. I’m gonna call Sky Broadband’s Tech Support and see if they changed something on their side this week. I find it weird that there’s a sudden ip packet lost (100%) whenever I connect to GW2.
Worse-case scenario, I might try switching to a different ISP. Most of my guildmates play in the Philippines too and they never had connectivity issues like this. Although it’s just a hunch that certain ISPs are really the problem.
I’m also from the Philippines, use SkyBroadband and have been having connection issues since around Feb 12. Before that, my connection has been solid ever since launch. I sincerely doubt that our ISP is at fault here considering others all over the world have been having the same issue since roughly the same time (i.e. last scheduled maintenance of ANet that took down the servers for about 4 hours). It’s most likely imho, that whatever it is they did there caused this and I sincerely hope ANet is taking a look in that area.
Please fix this ANet because this game is unplayable as it currently is for us.
I just forced myself to do dungeons today, despite the lag, in order to meet the monthly achievement requirements. It was a completely appalling experience. I froze twice at 2 crucial points when the team was depending on everyone’s participation. I had to bail after the second time after apologizing to the team because I knew I was nothing but a liability at that point. There’s no way I can meet the monthly achievements now.
Whatever changes ANet made at Feb 12 really upset me. The connection between my ISP (SkyBroadband in the Philippines) and their servers is no longer optimal and no one has a clue as to where the fix/adjustments should happen. I am disheartened and am losing my fondness for this game.
ANet, please prioritize this issue.
