Anyone else getting awful lag at the moment? - Guild Wars Forums

Katch · Feb 23, 2010, 01:32 PM // 13:32

Last 2 days I've had lag so bad its unplayable.

It doesn't seem to be a problem my end because other games run fine online like CS:S etc. Anyone else getting bad lag of Anet at the moment?

I'm UK based but lag no matter what server I go to - ISP is BT

I've experienced a lot of lag too the past month. It just happens randomly

Sethellington · Feb 23, 2010, 05:35 PM // 17:35

Yeah past couple of days have been awful. But then Virgin Media is an awful ISP

Shadowhaze · Feb 23, 2010, 06:18 PM // 18:18

I was getting a lot last night and all I was doing was standing in the guild hall. lol. But yes, I've been getting a bit more random lag spikes lately here too.

Just yesterday. Been in the orange ping area, still playable, but sometimes was actually jumping around places. Had no other programs running.

Katch · Feb 23, 2010, 07:46 PM // 19:46

Still a massive problem for me - orange / red ping, disconnects - unplayable

Sethellington · Feb 23, 2010, 08:46 PM // 20:46

wasn't expecting much to change in 3 hrs but yes, still unplayable...

Bob Slydell · Feb 23, 2010, 08:58 PM // 20:58

Not experiencing any lag, strange.

MagmaRed · Feb 23, 2010, 09:04 PM // 21:04

Haven't seen anything myself. I'm in the USA, and have been on the American, Korean, Chinese, and European districts.

luckyny7 · Feb 23, 2010, 10:08 PM // 22:08

Playing at least 2 hrs a day and no lag to speak of.

**cosyfiep** · Feb 25, 2010, 06:55 AM // 06:55

today was pretty bad, had a couple of 40k lag spikes (was fun to watch my character walk around with half of my skills trying to activate

).

not sure whats up, but I know my survivor is staying on vacation for a while.

Darth The Xx · Feb 25, 2010, 07:26 AM // 07:26

Been getting random spikes all day, and its not just me PvP matches lock up and chat is filled with cires of "laaag" and so on, so I'm guessing something is up with the servers.

luckyny7 · Feb 25, 2010, 04:53 PM // 16:53

A couple of days after I say I don't have any lag then it happens. Last night while playing I will b in the middle of a fight and then everyone stops and looks around. Then about 5 seconds later "POW", the thing you was fighting is dead and you need healing. Very strange.

The Real Avalon · Feb 25, 2010, 08:14 PM // 20:14

Yes, it cost me my survivor.

Zebideedee · Feb 26, 2010, 12:18 AM // 00:18

Yeah been getting sporadic lag on US servers, always at the worst possible time. Also been disconnected & unable to reconnect a few times

Gennadios · Feb 26, 2010, 12:22 AM // 00:22

Probably the servers groaning for (what I hope to be) the upcoming skill patch.

The past few times this happened the game was pretty much unplayable for a week or so.

I just wish ANet would release the damn thing already.

pinkeyflower · Feb 26, 2010, 06:59 AM // 06:59

For the last few days I've been getting quite sporadic lag. It's always hopping around. I heard that some of it is caused by the merging of servers to prevent syncing stuff. If that's the case Anet failed. I still see plenty of sync'ers.
