Since the Aug 6 update, I've been getting major lag spikes (pings around 42k) every few hours. I also get a series of pings around 5k every hour or so. Oddly enough it's rarely anywhere in between: very consistently at either 40-43k or 2-10k. A little bit of rubberbanding but not much. Only one or two disconnects all month.

I don't think it's a general internet connection problem since I do lots of stuff online and never have this problem anywhere except in Guild Wars.

been having this problems for past 4 months. Game is unplayable. Sometime it wont even go past loading screen and when it does i get 1000- 10,000 ping and all i can do is lag. Everything else works fine so i have no doubt this is a problem at anets end.

I'm Dcing like every 5-15 minutes and rubberbanding constantly. I've reinstalled GW 2 times and did a few other things, but I still lag like hell.

I'm from the Netherlands.

Been having a lot of dc's and lag here lately as well. I think some of it has to do with my internet at times - it seems to stop working at random times. Other times it works fine, but GW dc's while the rest of the net works just fine. Very frustrating trying to get anything done.

I've also been having lag. Once every day or 2 (at random times) I get 2 error 007's, one after the other, then huge lag spikes for like 20mins. Game is unplayable when this happens. Thought it was my connection to begin with, but started playing some other games and was having no lag whatsoever.

Lord Tyria · Aug 24, 2009, 09:55 PM // 21:55

Every day for the last couple weeks been getting horrible lag. Either dc or get rubberbanding most days. Almost every Z mission or bounty which I have mostly been doing lately, there is a couple disconnects of party members and sometimes the other people get reconnected or after a couple of reconnects they leave in mission because they can't hardly move or play. Many times have to try to finish these things with only 5 players that started out as 8.

Just can't imagine trying gvg under those conditions!

All other internet services work fine and I'm from Massachusetts, USA.

2-20k ping for me.

Australia, using Internode ISP.

streetboy · Aug 29, 2009, 10:10 PM // 22:10

I am having really bad lag, ever since this program update, which includes one crash. I am in California, friend in Seattle having the same issue. Any tech people looking into the issue?

wolfe faramir · Aug 29, 2009, 10:36 PM // 22:36

Having really bad lag here also. USA Indiana, Indy area. Comcast is my ISP. Pings jump from 200 to 4000. Not playable at all

malevolence · Sep 01, 2009, 08:51 PM // 20:51

terrible lags since months ago, from 40 ping to suddenly 9k lol , sometimes having disconnects. I have fiber optic connection , and I play UT3 , street fighter iv , red alert 3 all online with good pings , only guild wars is bad.

I am from the Netherlands.

Hope ANET can find where the issue is.

Marv forever · Sep 02, 2009, 12:34 PM // 12:34

Same thing here from France, ping is going from 200 to 1000+ and sometimes over 10k and then back to normal.

Really hard to play and got no issues with other games.

wolfe faramir · Sep 02, 2009, 04:29 PM // 16:29

omg I hope this gets fixed soon. 12,943 average ping rate!

Lagging like crap, Probably because im Downloading though.

HA is unplayable for me, I get stuck on the loading screen for maps frequently. This started happening a few days ago. I'll never get r9 this way (currently r6)! It's definately not my connection, I can browse/stream & play other games without lag. I bought all campaigns (+$200 investment?) and I'm concerned the servers are slowly being shutdown. Since this is an online-only game, I hope the server program is eventually released for lan use.

Edit: I forgot I had written down the ip of a server after the second occurrence (206.127.146.102). I also noticed that each time it happened the ip was 206.127.146.* (if i remember correctly). Maybe it's a particular subnet having problems.

malevolence · Sep 03, 2009, 09:50 AM // 09:50

Yup yesterday things went worst for me , I lagged every 5 minutes , red dot , pings like 10k and higher lol. After a few minutes the ping became a bit stable to I was playing the kilroy boxing mission for my survivor title , only 300k xp left and bum , died because of lag........ .......... . .. . well, starting a new character for the survivor title again -.-

Nanaki Roren · Sep 04, 2009, 09:48 AM // 09:48

I'm getting constant 007. D:
Three of my characters 007 while trying to load up the first screen into the place I left them. I can load one character into the outpost I left her in, but 007s when going anywhere else. I live in New Zealand. No lag while I'm running around in the city however.

I tried some of the suggested 007 tips, but to no avail.

Shasgaliel · Sep 04, 2009, 10:45 AM // 10:45

I never had such big lag spikes as recently. Indeed issue seem to be with GW only. Belgium here.

M @ T · Sep 04, 2009, 10:51 AM // 10:51

Well I haven't GvGed or even PvEed for a while because of the lag. I get the following;

* Random lag spikes(from 100 to 8k) and after 10 seconds or so it's back to normal.

* Random 007 shaken, not stirred errors

* Constant ping averaging from 1k to 8k at first log in. I have to wait for 30 minutes or so for a playable ping and then after an hour max, it starts all over again.

* Tested on 5 different friends' PC's with different connections etc and got the same.

Europe, Greece here.

WTF man

Two days ago I lost my 530k exp Survivor due to a 6k ping spike and dc in Kilroy's HM (came back online to see the other two people in our Guild saying "Did any of you just dc?" so I know it wasn't a problem with my net), and now I was just on the last fight of Vizunah on my R/Rt and I get code 007, Anet needs to seriously sort this bullshit out
