Unplayable Lag

It’s apparent in all game modes for me, just more so in WvW as you’re encountering non-AI elements (players) and the prediction/update capabilities seem to “slip”. Played since first beta and this is the worst to date.

Further perspective:
My traceroutes show at least 4 hops to server IPs, with last hop(s) going into la-la-land (unpingable).
5-10ms ping normal, little higher for zerg fights.
Decent system (40-60 FPS average, near max settings all the time).

Skill, gathering, supply grab, siege humping, attacking NPCs or players and in some cases, even moving around encounters momentary lag/delays of at least 1-3 seconds. Players visibly warp around too.

Blob fights always have lag, that’s a given but this happens standing anywhere on any map. It just depends upon how often it happens. It “feels” like packet loss but so far, that isn’t the case from my own testing. I keep going back in to give it another shot to drop out again as it really is unplayable.

Character Select Redesign

After a quick Google search I found a number of posts related to the character screen to add this, change this, update, etc. Not to pull an old one out of the weeds nor repeat a subject already posted about but how about this simple change:

Enable the Home key to select the left-most or first character on the character select screen and the End key to select last character (non-empty slot).

It would be Super Effective, no?

I’m assuming it would be keyboard-layout/locale dependent but for those of us who enjoy Character Slot sales, it would be a big help. The addition wouldn’t change the UI per-say, only the keybinding.

Page Up/Down would be another option
