Guild Wars 2

Server: Yak’s Bend

So, I’m not sure if it’s Windows 8 that I just installed or if it’s just been like this since the last major update, but I have been having extreme lag issues with GW2 the past week. Skills delay between 3 to 5 seconds before they even begin casting, mobs rubber band or stay still for a while and then they suddenly appear somewhere else or multiple attacks are done at once. I know my internet is fine I downloaded 7 gigs of data yesterday in less than an hour. My speedtest also shows everything to be fine. I also play LoL and Diablo 3 and everything works fine there.

I’m not posting this to bash on Anet or anything I just want to know if anyone else has had issues like this with windows 8 or the update. Also if anyone has a fix please let me know.

I’ve also read some posts about similar issues but they don’t seem to resolve the problem or are just not as informative.

By the way my location is Atlanta, GA just in case this could be related to someone else from Atlanta not being able to connect correctly to Anet servers.

If anyone from Anet reads please try to take a look see if there’s something wrong with maybe a port on the servers. I don’t know really but I’ve been trying to be patient the whole week and just want to get some help or make sure there’s nothing I can do on my side.

Thank you.

P.S. also forgot to mention things I have tried already.
