What i've been trying to do is joining a party in english-1 then getting the leader to go into international-1 for the actual mission (because you'll never find any actual people hanging around in international) - problem is half the time they refuse to change districts and I just have to leave the group.

Yeah it fvckin sucks.

It can't be stressed enough!!!

Log your problems to Anet direct. If enough people report the problems they will stop treating each one as an isolated fault. I am really fed up with them telling me that my internet connection is at fault.

Do the GW -diag report thing and get them into Anet.

It's a complete waste of time putting on weekend events when the majority of us can't actually get into the event arenas and when we do the lag presents so many problems it's not worth being there.

GET REPORTING - ALL OF YOU

This isn't ArenaNet's issue. What is wrong with some of you people?

Anyway, whoever is responsible... I hope the issue is fixed. Rollerbeetle racing is impossible. The event has been sorta ruined for me.

JeniM · Jul 08, 2007, 03:05 PM // 15:05

Steady 100-200 Ping for hours then 10000 ping for a while then back to 200

[QUOTE=Tahlia Tane]This isn't ArenaNet's issue. What is wrong with some of you people?

Dearest Tahlia,

why is this not ANet's issue? I have no problem accessing the web for absolutely anything else, gaming, downloads, exploring etc with download rates of >8 gigs. It's only GW that appears to be having this problem. After last weekends event ping rates returned to only slightly higher than normal with a slight lag in AB maps. During this weeks and last weeks events even PvE maps are suffering lag.

Why can't YOU accept that ArenaNet have a problem? Maybe they need to find an alternative backbone supplier who can guarantee high speed connectivity.

kralyrag · Jul 08, 2007, 03:23 PM // 15:23

Kicked again !!!!!!!!

Nineteenth time I have been kicked from the server this weekend.

Cant pick up the Boardwalk Gifts 'cos my character refuses to move around the map due to lag issues.

But hey! Nothing to do with the game I guess.

Daishi · Jul 08, 2007, 03:39 PM // 15:39

Seriously i have had this problem for well over a week i couldnt do the faction event which p*ssed me off because i wanted a luxon title, i cant do the festival missions or enter dragon arena because i stick to the spot, sort this out soon because its starting to really take the mick, a few of the people i know on my games design course have already gone back to WoW because of the severe lag and the fact nothing has been done and im seriously considering joining them.

Then why don't you go? ANet made clear on their website (http://www.guildwars.com/support/networknews/) that they ARE aware of the issue and are working on it. I do understand ANet can't do anything about it, and that they are doing their best to come up with a solution.

Looking from a commercial point of view:
They don't want to release GW:EN with many players having lag-issues. Those players wouldn't buy the game due to this and it can be a huge income-loss for them (-: So be patient. Plenty of other things to do IRL

Kurald Galain · Jul 08, 2007, 04:43 PM // 16:43

even if they ARE aware of the problem it would still be nice to get at least another update on how things go. But so far we all been left in the dark

Lol, they need to get another server? I've never had these kind of issues in the months and years of playing this game. I think ArenaNet isn't, y'know, lying about this. Besides, this is only affecting Europe. ArenaNet isn't to blame. But I do think they should do whatever they can to fix this. The event is totally ruined for me, and for others too, so this really sucks.

Only Europe? Where in God's name are you getting your information! Everyone is affected by this. The game is unplayable and it's stupid. Hey, it's due to the Festival weekend, which takes place in Cantha. I guess it would make sense for the game to be unplayable, boring, and getting people pissed off, kind of like Factions did.

Lilith A · Jul 08, 2007, 04:51 PM // 16:51

Of course its Anets issue, even if it isn't there connections that are at fault people on THEIR game are still the ones suffering.

If it wasn't their issue we wouldn't be on here complaining instead of on the game playing.

Even if its some thing in Frankfurt its still Anets problem and the fact a lot of people have stopped playing it and they don't want to release GWEN just goes to show that.

brave bern · Jul 08, 2007, 05:07 PM // 17:07

Lag makes me cry.
have reported it.
completely unplayable.
In view that this is Live Earth Weekend I propose - on a global scale - all those people that picked up the boardwalk gifts from under my chars feet and from other laggers feet - should gather in one place and give kindly to afflicted.

Angelic Upstart · Jul 08, 2007, 05:23 PM // 17:23

Had serious lag issues for over nine days now, Euro district is completely unplayable has been since Friday, tried the international districts and managed, with a high ping 350 - 600 for a couple of days but now even that district is getting bad pings averaging out at 1000+. Basically its bollocks, i am sick and tired of putting up with all this and still no word from Anet, this does not bode well for GWEN at all. Please dont tell me to submit reports i have done this already, and please do not insult my intelligence by saying
"its not Anets fault" either.
This is not an acceptable level of service, in any language.

starlitesunset · Jul 08, 2007, 05:34 PM // 17:34

yeah i agree anet should of cancelled this event as its put more strain on the whole lag issue, i sent emails last night provided network logs from there diagnostics only then to be told by 3rd mail they are passing it on to someone else, why even host events if this lag is a issue

as ive always said

Anet's answer to game issues "lets put a event on this weekend will stop them complaining"

Sparks Dawnbringer · Jul 08, 2007, 06:28 PM // 18:28

Yes, the lag has been bad especially the festival weekend. It is so wonderful that they do these weekends, it's a shame we cannot enjoy them as mudh as we could.

It would be better if the prizes were assigned. Even on the American server I was lagging so bad I could not even get the prizes that fell at my feet. So in the future lets assign the prizes like wintersday. That way the really greedy can fight over the afk prizes and the rest of us can just take our assigned share. Or if you really like the fighting over prizes and people screaming to get of my spot drop some assigned and some unassigned.

oscarsymonds · Jul 08, 2007, 07:24 PM // 19:24

Can I just give you all some advice which I found to work..........

When you finally get a good connection with no lag, load up each of your characters and move them to low traffic outposts..... you have absolutely no chance of loading characters in Kamadan, Lions Arch etc.

headcarb · Jul 08, 2007, 07:25 PM // 19:25

as ive put before piss take...
