Temporary Solution!!!!!!
So I have been searching relentlessly for a solution. And have found one, which should work for everyone. It’s by no means a permanent fix, ArenaNet still needs to do it’s part and fix it, but this should work as a temporary solution to the problems we have been having.
First go to https://www.wtfast.com/ (it does cost, but you can get a 7 day free trial – so that’s 7 days of Guild Wars 2 until ArenaNet hopefully fix it.)
Sign up for the 7 day trial, make an account, download etc. When you open to the software make sure Guild Wars 2 is selected.
How this software works is that instead of connecting directly to ArenaNet servers (wherein lies the problem in our case) you connect to a private server, which doesn’t have a problem connecting to ANet servers, which connects to servers, and sends information back to you.
This method is usually used to lower your ping/latency as the providers servers are faster in response than those of ArenaNet’s, and luckily for us, works as a temp fix to our problem
There are other alternatives such as SmoothPing out there as well.
Hope this helped, it worked for me. Let’s hope that Arena fixes it within a couple more days!
But as I said, it’s by no need a permanent fix. We shouldn’t NEED to do this to be able to play a game. Especially if eventually it never gets fixed, and ends up costing us…
Remember you have to have this software running the WHOLE time you are playing Guild Wars 2. You can terminate the application process only when you are not in-game.
