Yes, I know this is an old poll, but I have been experiencing more and more lag issues lately. I think I originally voted some lag issues in North America, but lately I'm having more than just a few lag spikes. In particular, when playing Fort Aspenwood I feel bad for my teammates because many times I get all turned around, disorientated because of the lagging and rubberbanding. Quite frustrating.

Well no one here knows what Lagency than me. Iv went out playing GW for about week. Iv seen my Lag hit over 220k and i was getting D/C like candy. It still horrible that i have to quit GW because it making me lose connection and it take like hours hours to log back in with decent ping but that doesnt happen. Here a Good example Anet. I was in middle of Ooze Pit with good ping. But at one point i was lagging badly that it made me quit the game and i was almost beaten Ooze Pit so i didnt i got mad. So I beg you Anet plz fix it i cant GW at night now and im getting D/C alot lately.

I selected Significant latency issues. It's actually not bad overall, except that it lags like unholy hell in major outposts, and for some reason 90% of the time I get an automatic lag spike each time I first start combat in an area. A couple times the game actually froze because the spike was so huge. And I have cable internet

Sir Twisteh · Sep 11, 2007, 05:35 PM // 17:35

D/C'ing every 2mins, 100,000+ ms complete joke basically. Any news on a fix for this?

Quantum Duck · Sep 11, 2007, 05:45 PM // 17:45

(Washington State) I've had more lag than usual during the last couple weeks. Not enough to make it really unplayable, but enough that interupting skills is now very random, making Polymock really difficult.

Montreal, Canada;

My problems are generally server-side, with over 10k lag spikes every now and then, random disconnects, rubberbanding (characters move all around the screen, yet nothing else is laggy, and I know this one isn't on my side since when I see it, all my team experiences the same). I know some of my problems are related to my connection, but very often I surf the web or chat without -any- problem, yet GW lags or even disconnects.

glountz · Sep 11, 2007, 06:36 PM // 18:36

Horrible, horrible.
You didn't manage to fix anything Anet that's really problematic, I think you're not able to do anything about this.
Therefore you're loosing a customer.
11600 pings here, France, Montpellier, 20h30.

so.. to anet world=north america+europe, nice...

bhavv · Sep 12, 2007, 04:27 AM // 04:27

Im still getting significant latency issues, if that means slowing down and freezing up all the time. Only been happening since I got GW:EN.

My average ping has fallen from 230 to over 1000, which isnt as bad as others, buts still noticable. Im sure when I freeze it goes a lot higher.

brian78wa · Sep 12, 2007, 04:05 PM // 16:05

I used to have bad lag but then I upgraded my computer and have none.
Alot of peoples issues(not all but alot) are because of there own PCs

My average fps is 60 and ping 47.

MithranArkanere · Sep 12, 2007, 10:45 PM // 22:45

My average ping is 150, 230 on weekends.

Lately there where some HUGE spikes.

Significant Latency Issues (North America)

Basically my ping to the Guild Wars server is never below 160, and on an average night will bounce between 160-300. On an irregular basis, there are lag spikes of multiple seconds. I play a lot of fps and typically my ping is 55-65 to east usa, 85-100 central usa, 100-120 western usa. I'm not really sure where I'm getting routed to never drop below 160. I've tried running trace routes to the server ip, but packets are denied beyond a certain point.

The game is still playable, since twitch reactions are not as crucial as in a FPS, but for interrupts and monking, the inconsistency is frustrating.

It's all right.

Black Eagle · Sep 13, 2007, 10:08 AM // 10:08

average 300-600. Thats the usual for South Australia, almost never gets in the way!

Until someone starts downloading anyway

Arya Nibelrund · Sep 13, 2007, 10:23 AM // 10:23

Average 150-300ms, connecting from Italy.
In the last 3-4 days I randomly get horrible lag spikes (1-2 seconds) every 10-20 seconds. Happens both in pvp and pve. (of course I ran antivirus and ad-aware and defragged countless times).

genofreek · Jan 03, 2008, 01:52 AM // 01:52

North America here. I had a bit more rubberbanding than usual, ping bubble went red here and there and caused some slowdown, but nothing that made the game unplayable.

artay · Jan 03, 2008, 01:59 AM // 01:59

In Australia, Queensland area and I usually average around 300ping, During the event, like lots of people, I had a few lag problems. But it seems to have settled down now so no problems from me.
