Not a single problem for me. Western Europe

I've been playing just fine...

Umm... You think Anet is trying to screw you over? Perhaps they should have kept the servers down for 48 or 72 hours to work out all the kinks before letting us back in? Would you have preferred that, or would you have posted that Anet screwed you out of 2 extra days of gameplay?

Your "organization" should go protest something meaningful if you are compelled to change the world. Anet is doing the best they can. Moving the servers was not a small task. Just settle down... things will get back to normal.

BTW: Brilliant idea doing the massive attack on Lions Arch at a time when your ping was crazy bad.

It's kind of weird, yesterday I was playing just fine, even a much lower latency than normal ("Normal" for me is between 150-200ms) until about 3pm yesterday, I can't do anything outside a town/outpost, I'm rubberbanding and twitching like a crack baby with every skill I activate.

Anything before 3pm Central yesterday for me was fine, I got on later, and today and find I can't do anything but stand around.

I dropped my graphics to minimum and set 30 FPS to try and help it, but alas that did nothing, I figured it wouldn't but might as well try.

The pics show all my skills flashing, and a "decent" ping. The problem is I am still rubberbanding and lagging like crazy, with or without a high spike.

Edit: These 2 pics were taken around 8:30 Central time, in the midwest. (Wisconsin)

My connection is fine post update except for some weird behavior in Pongmei Valley. I use it to chest run periodically and entering from either Maatu Keep/Tenglewood Copse gives me red dot or a flat out disconnect. This is the only place I seem to have a problem.

Just did Elusive Golemancer HM twice - the first one was a struggle with lots of rubber banding and some ping spikes up to 15000. OK - that happens - haven't suffered that in a while. The second one was a farce. My partner has a great time trying to run the crystal - can't drop the thing rubber bands all over the place and dies a lot. We get to the fire darts and my guys go 3/4 the way with the protector golem and rubber band while my partner thinks he is at the end but he never actually left the shrine in the previous room. He loses connection and gets booted to Rata Summ. I res and try and run the gauntlet with 6 heroes (his 3 now following me) and it is my turn to sit in the middle with liights flashing and die. Back at the res shrine I have no control, so I shut doen application and restart. Now I reload into the instance but is just me and now only 3 heroes. Gogo Powerstone and I plunge on thinking that the bad ass golem in HM is going to be a right bitch. Oddly enough we managed that with only 1 rubber band and a single death - and then proceed to level 3 and win.

Talked to a guildie and he had simialr issues with a silent surf VQ. I am West Australia and he is Belgium - I agree that the lag was bad just now.

My pings seem slightly lower now than before the move.

I am loving it

Not bad for a Laptop with a wireless internet connection

Edit changed image to non black showing I am in here for a few min

Low Ping:

High Ping:

This was taken today, on EU server from Ireland.

I think you guys just need to stop downloading porn while your playing, do it later

Is the server IP in your pic 206.XXX for Euro players? Was it something else before the change or did it stay the same? U.S. IP's started in 216.XXX, now they start in 64.XXX.

If there wasn't a change in the IP, I don't know, I'm not a Euro player, you shouldn't see any difference than what you had before the change. Seems like it is hitting U.S. players hard.

Iuris · Aug 12, 2010, 02:32 PM // 14:32

In my experience, "Lag attacks" are never game-wide. Usually, it's just a few people having trouble.

Possibly, a single server has trouble. After all, of the lag claiming screenshots, only two show the server IP and the IP is same for both.

I would first advise relogging in, trying to get a different server, and seeing if the problem persists. If yes, then I'd contact support and tell them the troublesome server's IP.

Yeah US server IP changed cus they moved the data center. Not sure about the euro servers or what so ever but then I ask. WHY stay on American Servers when you can go to euro wich seem to be better? I always play on euro servers except when I make a PuG or do PvP.

My while downloading porn ping:

My while not downloading porn ping:

interesting...how the downloading porn one is higher (last ping) but seems to be more stable as noted by the average ping....

Yes well you answered it yourself, in PvP it isn't up to you and from where you enter battle, it can be either 206 or 216 (well, 64 now) so if you have major lag issues on one of the servers you can't really PvP.

Yes I could go PvE instead or log out, but that's rather beside the point.

HellScreamS · Aug 12, 2010, 02:45 PM // 14:45

average ping 200, I didn't have any trouble before the server move, I don't have any problem now. Same thing.

Vallen · Aug 12, 2010, 02:50 PM // 14:50

Hmmmm well it seems porn isnt the route cause, great, time to carry on with what seems to be the neverending queue of downloads

To Chicken To Die · Aug 12, 2010, 02:58 PM // 14:58

Hmm small spike to little over 300 when I maximized my screen but I can't say this ping can bother my playing (only those that don't connect in my team) here is one from a few min in RA
