Thought I’d chime in just to make sure the devs are aware that the issue is still very much alive for a lot of us.
I began playing Guild Wars 2 around the beginning of 2013 on my HP Pavilion Laptop. It wasn’t the greatest piece of equipment, but with graphic settings set to “lowest” I was able to run dungeons or even participate in World Boss/Temple events. Sure the FPS would drop substantially, but “Skill Lag” remained unseen. I’ve since retired that Laptop and upgraded to PC I built myself(specs in attached picture). Other than that nothing else has changed. Still on the same network with the same ISP. Recently “Skill Lag” is so predominant that it is getting harder and harder to justify playing this game. I’ll admit there are good days where lag is rare and skill lag is no where to be seen. However, more often than not it isn’t one of those “good” days.
I’d also like to say I agree with a previous poster who mentioned something about methods of obtaining Dragonite Ore in high quantities that doesn’t require congested world events(world boss/temples) or WvW. As all of those things usually lead to skill lag and even in some cases disconnections.
Hope to hear or even witness some good news soon. Starting to regret buying this game and supporting Arenanet with my monthly gem purchases.
