Guild Wars 2

are you FPS lagging or net lagging?
The net lags in gw2 has been horrible whereas everything else I run that requires internet is running flawlessly.

Having the same problem. DCing and lagging only with gw2, every other games are fine. Internet is fine, other internet apps running fine.

Day 2 of reset (Week 2): Skill lags strike again ;<

Same here. Keep lagging and DCing every 2 min or so

Hate to admit it, but the meta-achievements brought me back to WvW lol. But of course I made sure it wasn’t at my server’s performance expense while grinding for ’em :]

The rise in participation in WvW also made it more exciting.

Oh wow, very impressive @ the points gap in RoF’s matchup xD
And very much agreed w/ Clint

DH vs FC vs GOM

Day 9: I believe it is fixed, unless anyone else is still experiencing the issue.

As of last night 11:36pm, server time, I have finally finished my meta-achievements for WvW Season 1, YADA! Just wanted to share since it was such a long grind haha, was such a fun experience though. Back to more WvWing!

Agreed and same here @ Kuzzie
Demolition Expert was another vaguely written achievement; we have to do enough damage to the doors/walls for achievement progression; -looks at rams, trebs, catas, etc-. Phew, glad I am at recommended tier for ram mastery, so I can take care of my personal achievements while contributing to my world efficiently.

I am on the same boat

Merujsy.6283:

Capture 50 mercenary camps.

Capture says it all. Only when it is being captured and you contributed, you get credit.
(Yes, even if the enemy takes it, you can get credit by killing 1 monster or ressing)

Not the case for my friends and I.
We are only getting credits upon capturing it during its neutral state (grey colored icon)

I heard to get any progress on this achievement, you need to capture it during its neutral state (Grey icon), not from a colored state to your home server’s color.

Is this correct?

Day 8: Still laggy but not as obnoxious and no DCs at all today surprisingly
Luck or Anet secretly fixing this :>

Oh wow LOL, hope this isn’t working as intended then zzz

I have tried that,
Neutral —> Color
Color —> Neutral —> Color

No luck :<

Even from grey to colored, no progression :S

Been capping merc camps, but no luck with the progression for its achievements.
Anyone experiencing the same? Unless there is some fancy way of completing it? :S

I have been capturing merc camps with no progress with its achievements.
Seems bugged unless there is a fancy way to be doing them for its achievements?

Not working for me either… stuck at 5

Simonoly.4352:

Pre-season I experienced little to no lag unless I really felt like getting stuck in during an SM three-way at prime time. Now it’s just horrible and for the first time ever I had to stop playing WvW on Monday at around 12pm (GMT) because I was experiencing so much lag. You know what I was doing at the time I had to log out? Solo-roaming on my home borderland. That lag – it gets you wherever you are.

^ Ditto.

Day 7: No improvements.

I am getting this as well as soon as I enter WvW. This only began ever since wvw season 1 hit.

Same here, and getting DC’d like no next second LUL

Happens as soon as I place foot into WvW. I am million miles from any zergs. I was always able to participate in WvW just fine until WvW season hit, even during inactive times :l.

Anyone else experiencing this?
Any diagnosis?
Not sure if it is related to the ongoing skill lags in WvW, but my internet is running flawlessly, not getting disconnected from anything else except GW2 in WvW.

Day 5: Dcing more than ever, Error Code 7

Very much agreed across the board.

Just tried Emerald Sanctum, no achievement acquired after acquiring both key parts, unlocking door and chest.

Same here, didn’t receive anything after unlocking door and chest

Got my enemy downed, and then all skill lags break loose…
I then stood there painfully while he gradually healed up.
At least he just walked away after, he must have thought I was being kind and returned the favor. Karma <3

Carize.8532:

Forgive me if I’m just being blind or slow-witted…but what is that image supposed to show? I don’t see anything out of the ordinary.

~lack of sleep may be affecting me, I admit.~

Take a look at the skill bar
Look painfully familiar?
Them flashes. /cries

Visual presentation :,D -painful smile-

Constant error 7 DCs today, le sigh.

Skill lag —> General lag —> DC to character selection screen

Been experiencing a hint of this issue outside of the wvw content as well.

Tinoosh.5386:

I will become surprised the day we don’t have any skill lag in WvW.

Probably when Cantha arrives LOL

Can’t shake off the feeling that we are still in beta.

This happens even when I am million miles away from any zergs lol, same goes with my party members.

Day #4: Dcing/skill lagging every 4 minutes.
May we get an official response from a dev regarding the issue? Any diagnosis or fix or if it is even being worked on at the moment?

DCing, skill lagging, etc.
Anyone else experiencing the same?
Internet works fine on my end, only having problems with GW2 and with nothing else that requires internet-usage.

err I just randomly got one point for hitting inner gate in SM LUL, with the same method I have been constantly and consecutively using….Auto attack via Shortbow :P

Same boat here :,(….. le sigh

Day #3 still horribad.

Lightyears away from any zergs, 4 sec skill lag.
Perfect FPS.
Web pages refreshing swiftly.
Def not my pc nor network problem.

Been killing them with every means possible…
0 points to be credited.

Wondering the same, skill lags are out of this world …

forums were crashing as well earlier

Here is my ? after a YEAR of playing this game to all of you who always complain about this.

WHY CONTINUE TO PLAY AFTER EXPERIENCING ANYTHING OVER 30 SECONDS OF THAT AWFUL LAG?

As human beings, how could you possibly sit at your desk, on your comp, and experience any feeling of fun watching your screen basically just lag out because of the terrible server stability? Wouldn’t there be a little spark in your mind saying, “you know, this isn’t that fun at all….you’re right conscience, this is actually pretty brutal. In fact laughable…..what am I actually doing this for?”

Here is an idea…stop running around with 100 other people.

If you’re seeing lag on your screen it’s your system not their servers. I’m not saying there aren’t server issues because there are. Poor frame rate isn’t an indication of this though.

It’s not FPS problem we are experiencing :P Moreso net lags.

all together ready to cuddle.
Violently.

Hang in there
WvW Season 1= tons of fun so far

“It is an online charity event hosted by Gamers Giving Back (with the help of countless volunteers) in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and to raise funds for Cancer Research.”
We raised over 6k USD! Congrats and thanks to everyone who participated and showed your support

Can’t speak for everyone, but my party, friends, guildies and I were millions of miles away from any populated areas and we’d start skill lagging. I can always handle being in a huge zerg, but ever since the wvw season 1, I can’t even handle being by few others or even by myself in wvw LUL. And to answer your question, I have faith in anet, a loyal player :P It only happened recently, and fortunately it has improved today; hope it stays that way or get better for a long time coming -crosses finger-
