i was getting some lag today... i just got to the Old Ascalon/New Ascalon place =D.... but it was lagging pretty bad there!

Ya, yesterday was great, no lag at all. Then around the start of prime time today I got massive lag, which is why I'm not playing ATM. The lag started right before I would have finished a long mission, caused me to fall behind the guy I was supposed to protect and he wandered off alone and died.

Grrr ! Sometimes I think my copy will never get here

It's the launch day. Many MMOs had MUCH worse launch days; we probally should consider ourselves lucky. But the lag will go down. It always does on MMOs.

You're welcome. And yeah, the lag was horrid. :P

i never lag. I move around prefectly except sometimes when i run to close to and object (like a wal) I get the "rubbre band effect"

Loviatar · Apr 29, 2005, 02:24 AM // 02:24

i had maybe 5-10 minutes of lag time but none other than that

The "rubber band effect" is lag.
Also, what's a wal? is that what they sell at Wal Mart? Your post is plagued by typos, you should re-read it before you submit it next time.

Don't ask too much from someone with a dollar-sign in their name.

this lag ain't bad compared to some other games. I don't think it's even that laggy.

Well if it does lag, ArenaNet is fixing things helluva quickly.
It used to lag quite a fair bit in the Europe districts on the 27th, and there weren't even THAT many Ascalon City and Ashford Abbey districts.
Yesterday, there were 40 Ascalon City and 21 Ashford Abbey pre-searing districts. It didn't lag one bit for several hours. Nice wave of newbies though

My bold. Sorry, couldn't help myself.

FrodoFraggins · Apr 29, 2005, 05:21 AM // 05:21

I get no lag what-so-ever.

Kha · Apr 29, 2005, 05:27 AM // 05:27

There was a serious spike of lag earlier today. My group was at the end of a mission, then the lag hit. Next thing we knew, we were all dead. And when we got back to the outpost, we found out we weren't the only ones who got hit by the lag. But oh well. It happens and we moved on anyways

I have to say, I was started launch dates for Starwars Galaxies and World of Warcraft and I think Guild Wars has started off with a good hitch. I just currently left SWG this week cause they released a patch that changed the way the whole game played. When Guild Wars came out yesterday and I heard my fave developers that started Blizzard back in the day, started Arenanet, I had to play. Awesome game! =D =D =D

i agree - if you compare the launches of games like WoW, Ragnarok etc. there were far worse lag problems than this. props to the ANet team for being able to cope so well!

^^ so true! I was at several other "server openings" - compared to them, the GW launch was smooth as......

βlitzkrieg · Apr 29, 2005, 08:42 AM // 08:42

I lagged a small ammount, like once or twice in a second, but that was all. What's your guys internet connection? I'm on 2mbps, maybe that helps?
