my lag seems to have gone by itself.

dont bother pming support, wont do you any good at all

Only lag I've gotten recently was last night, which I know was on my end (storms making the power flicker and thus resetting the modem).

*shrugs*

*Paris* · Jun 20, 2009, 07:26 PM // 19:26

Yeah, last night was horrible. I froze up a few times in the middle of a FA, so finally, it just booted me off. No error message at all. I come back and I have the dishonorable hex...

I have noticed here lately I have had very bad Lag and Rubberband all the time.

Just a thought. Have they shut down servers in GW to make more Aion servers??? Hmmmm

Legion Magnus · Jun 21, 2009, 05:07 AM // 05:07

Been getting horrendous lag then disconnects yesterday and today. Very unusual for my connection. Err 7's every few minutes. Hard to play this way. I see others reporting similar issues. Regina said they had 'a few people' affected when they did a live update on Thursday. I think more than a few and ongoing.

MMSDome · Jun 21, 2009, 06:35 PM // 18:35

Ever since update ive been getting horrible lag. Hard to compete in HB when im frozen for 30+ seconds at a time.

Burst Cancel · Jun 21, 2009, 06:42 PM // 18:42

Bad ping starts at around 100ms, if you care about your performance. Anything above 300 makes the game pointless. Four/five/six-figure lag spikes aren't even worth discussing.

AnClar · Jun 21, 2009, 08:19 PM // 20:19

I've never had lag problems like this before. Oh sure, I've had the (very) occasional err7 but since this last update, and Regina's explanations notwithstanding, the game has been basically unplayable for me since the update. Switching servers doesn't help, I go from a green ping indicator to err7 in seconds. reconnect is useless...never works. So far in the past few days I figure I've totally wasted over 5 hours of effort. I'm not playing anymore until this BS is fixed, and if it ain't fixed soon I'm going to seriously start looking for another way to spend my time. That's a damn shame considering how many thousand hours I have in this game.

WAKE UP ANet!! A 4-year old game is issue enough...a 4-year old game with lag issues like this is OVER!

Yep, trying to farm essences, lag kills a farmer. Trying to do Zmissions, lag out or err7 once you reach the boss or a ways into the mission. The lags are hefty and pretty annoying for sure.

lilDeath · Jun 21, 2009, 10:47 PM // 22:47

Yep, my connections usually have better pings than the last few weeks or so.

I am getting 004's often enough, about 2-3 times a week and lots of red pings in between.

I got some green tonight though

Thamior Shamus · Jun 22, 2009, 01:13 AM // 01:13

I seem to be lagging less on my 7 year old laptop...

lol @ people complaining about 300 ping. I never have problems interrupting and my avg ping is 200-300.

Teutonic Paladin · Jun 22, 2009, 01:31 AM // 01:31

I had horrible lag spikes for two days that DCed me virtually ever match, then my FPS dropped like a tank so I reinstalled, now neither are around. Give it a shot.

FengShuiDove · Jun 22, 2009, 04:39 AM // 04:39

Hooray for 007s twice in Arbor Bay VQ! Once at the beginning that wasn't too bad and once after about 300 foes including Flannus!

Show Some Skin · Jun 22, 2009, 04:54 AM // 04:54

i got an epic 64k ping in a dungeon run

headlesshobbs · Jun 22, 2009, 08:14 AM // 08:14

So many teams I played with pvp are getting some serious spikes and it's worse off when you include NPC's into the mix not being affected.

enmyria · Jun 22, 2009, 08:38 AM // 08:38

Also having lag issues here. Frequently getting err7s seconds after loading. The game is pretty much unplayable at the moment.

nacho3232 · Jun 22, 2009, 05:29 PM // 17:29

yup horrible

sLiceR · Jun 22, 2009, 07:59 PM // 19:59

I had to stop playing for ping being over 1500ms, and it's not my connection :|

ll Jamie ll · Jun 22, 2009, 08:09 PM // 20:09

Nope, it's nowones connection.

Ive been getting this lagg for months since the 4th anniversary update i guess. (maybe before that?) And i /agree with the fact that contacting support gets you nowhere, this is on ANet's end.

Normally when i first log on (when not many people are on i guess?) i get ok pings. Then about 30 mins-1 hour of gameplay, the vicious laggspikes occur. Id be lucky to get a green ping.
Been going on for aaages, just hope something can be done about it :/

(also contacted ISP, my connection is fine, followed a few steps, but still the lagg persists)

:/..
