Curse

East Coast USA running on wireless Verizon FiOS, and haven't seen any real issues of yet. I'm getting between 40 and 600 ms ping depending on the time of day, avg is around 200 ms.

My only worry is that I'll have to get my college to add the 64's IP address range to the campus packet shaper, and I don't know whether the lag issues people are complaining of on this thread will be present afterward.

SO, I'm siting in Tahnakai Temple mission, been lagged out for 8 minutes now, me and Bound Kaolai just staring at each other like we're daring each other to make the first move.

For me it's generally ok at the moment. I have fine ping, sometimes even lower than before, especially on european servers. However, playing RA some players just don't load or after few matches they permanetly disconnect. Kinda annoying when you have nice a streak.

Updated...

My ping is still in the 200-300s but I d/ced randomly while doing today's HM Wanted. First attempt at reconnecting failed, second one took about 10 seconds but I got back into the game at the end.

well from reading this i now understand my normal 200~500 ping is bad.. man, i thought 200~500 was normal :P guess not =.=

Been averaging from 146 to a bit over the 300's ping, though I notice little difference either way. At some point there were short lag spikes, but very short. Playing in this condition isn't really giving me any problems. West coast, by the way.

Pings range from 10k-30k, Constant rubberbanding, locking up skills, not responding, and more than enough constant DC's.

i had all this before the server move. when i logged in today i got a small spike of lag (though i had been rapidly changing characters and switching accounts) and then i was fine, in fact i seem to be getting great and smooth gameplay, whilst using the american servers from the UK.
however bad it is now it'll only be +1 to what it was before.

That's bad, anything over 200 and 1/4 second spells start becoming non 1/4 second spells and your ability to interupt 3/4 second spells severely diminishes.

Owik Gall · Aug 12, 2010, 07:09 PM // 19:09

Like I said, no difference. Skills went off as smoothly as before, and spells went as quick as before.

Moonstalker · Aug 12, 2010, 07:33 PM // 19:33

I don't have a bad time with ping, aside the usual spikes which I can look past, it's the constant errors and disconnects.
It's kind of difficult to get a group going, when you zone and 4 of them disappear.
New servers suuuuuuuuuck.

bwillcox · Aug 12, 2010, 07:40 PM // 19:40

It appears that the servers are back in Austin, Tx (at least that's what traceroutes to their IP addresses suggest, but I could be wrong). Some years ago I seem to remember them being here as well. Since I'm in Austin, my hop count has gone down by quite a bit (it's around 8 now, was around double that from what I can remember). Too bad my packets still have to go to Dallas before returning to Austin (that's an AT&T routing issue, though, and not under Anet's control).

Pippa · Aug 12, 2010, 07:42 PM // 19:42

I just got back from an extended vacation (my PC fried and I had to get a new one). Reinstalled the full game today (non-streaming) and my ping is astronomical. The rubber banding is making the game become completely unplayable and I've actually disconnected once.

Hopefully they figure out what the deal is.

I'm from America, usually have a green dot, but today its been orange+.

Edit: Make that two disconnects. Disconnected a second time while I was writing this.

That's it, I'm going to cancel my sub.

That was a funny joke

Very, very hard to get a full team for anything because they all vanish. Took like 6 tries to get a full loading team for SoOSC. Guess this is how they're nerfing it.

(No, seriously, this lag is BAD for everyone I've talked to.)

Actually, it seems better for me.

Still sucks, but that's more my machine than anything else.

I'll post some photos of the proof, I have always had a ping below 100 with an occasional spike to 250 but I am getting 2-3k constant now with spikes of 34k+. All info will be included on the website when we get it up and running. We have before and after photos of the server pings before and after this "move".

We went through this before with another game company and we need to give them 7 days to respond to the problem. (We got legal advice last time due to threats) Their legal department will send us a letter that we can't post the screenshots on our website due to copyright infringement, at that time we will refuse to take them down and then they will contact the company that hosts the website and threaten them as well, once that happens we will be forced to remove the screenshots but we will keep them as proof of our claims. But the word will get out to the public, through our website as well as the youtube community. We are still collecting screenshots from others in the game in preparation. Outside of that there is nothing we can do about it, we got "hosed" and have to live with it. Our organization believes we have a responsibility to inform the public of dirty corporate greed, and that is what we intend to do. Good luck all, sorry this happened to so many of us, we can only move forward.

I'm in Canada and I'm having no problems.

I'm sure you and others are having trouble with your ping, but it seems like just so much histrionics to come out threatening to blow the whole thing open with a website dedicated to this. First, nobody but those already plugged into GW cares. Second, those already plugged into GW will form their own opinions without your help. Third, it's hard to take your issue seriously when you overreact in such a spectacular manner.

I hope you and everyone else having trouble gets your connectivity issues sorted out, but really, cool your jets and get your hubris under control. You're actually not as important as you seem to think you are.

Good luck.

I would of left it down longer but it seems like they are possibly trying to save money by moving it to cheaper server making way to host GW2 on the other one.

The Drunkard · Aug 12, 2010, 09:33 PM // 21:33

Having minor lag problems, but nothing substantial compared to before the move.

I did have huge lag problems a few hours before the server move, but I'm not sure what caused it.

US, California.
