Code 13 after selecting a character for the past 5 minutes.

Any news?

Tons of people from my alliance d/c'ing.

Especially annoying in the middle of a dungeon -.-

To those who are doing the usual "stop having a crap computer", I had a terrible connection this morning (and now can't get in at all). Was disconnecting repeatedly - really bad. And, no, I had nothing else running that could have led to the problems either.

Whatever is going ANet need to get on the case.

Haven't crashed since I fixed my PC. Haven't lagged either. In PvE or PvP.

Zahr Dalsk · Oct 18, 2008, 07:32 PM // 19:32

Clean and powerful PC. Superior ISP. I've seen the increasing lag as well, and since I only log in occasionally I can see the sudden changes to the worse.

was in FoW tonight, whole team dc'd and couldn't log back in due to err 13's repeatedly for about 5 minutes. We where all on TS and spread out around the world so know it wasn't just our currently horrible connection.

Lycan Nibbler · Oct 18, 2008, 07:45 PM // 19:45

Just look at the HB AT today (about 11am PST Sat) - where literally over half the field errored out all at the same time.

Nessar · Oct 18, 2008, 07:45 PM // 19:45

Got code 13 in AB just now..sat there for about 5 min reconnecting. Got into the outpost THEN 007'd ><

Tramp · Oct 18, 2008, 07:48 PM // 19:48

Ok.. now that was COOL! I was zoomed out looking at all the fellow fools in Spamadan district 1 and half of them disappeared. I thought i lagged out and was in d6 or something. Then they all started piling back in with QQing. Err7 FTW.

James Bond while trying to zone to Kamadan from Doomlore. Happened just one.

Tactical-Dillusions · Oct 19, 2008, 03:13 AM // 03:13

Fought from ToA to Diessa lowlands, clearing Iron horse and Deldrimor on route. Lag spiked and DC'd in Iron horse and again in Diessa. It's no fun when you're vanquishing and lose your red dots showing you where you've been. I did alot of backtracking to say the least and by the time i had got Diessa done 12 hours later, i gave up shooting for pockmark flats and eastern frontier. Maybe i'll try again in the future.

I informed GW Tech Support that my entire alliance was having lag issues. They informed me that it was all Mycomputer and would I please run a diagnostic on My computer for them. They would then tell me how to fix My issue. I repeat, I reported this, spoke up for, my Entire! alliance.

My alliance includes people on three continents, several countries, mutliple ISPs, and at least as many systems. The one thing we have in common is GW. Yet, GW Technical Support informs me that there just are no lag issues in GW. That there are no repports of lag issues in GW. That they have had no problems at all. Nothing has changed - and all the increased lag of the last week to ten days must be on My computer. So, there you have it: All your lag issues are on My computer. GW said so...

Looks like your entire alliance got a standard reply

You don't know the main rule of MMO's - if there is a lag, it's YOUR computer. Even if hamsters bite through server cables, they are YOUR hamsters and they ate YOUR cable.

The other thing you have in common is that all of your connections go through alter.net's routers in California. And all of you who aren't in Australia, New Zealand, or East Asia have in common connections that go through Level3's routers on the way westward across North America. Like I said before, if you look at a pingplot, you'll see that Level3 is clearing having bad problems right now, and alter.net is having some problems too. A-net's servers don't seem to be adding any abnormal latency or packet loss above and beyond what's already incurred just getting to the final alter.net router before them. Now, I do certainly agree that a-net's support is often rude, and almost always clueless about connectivity issues, and infuriating in their mindless insistence that every problem is always on the user's end despite all evidence to the contrary, but, in this particular case, it seems that they are correct that it's not a problem they caused or can fix.

Euros are having the problem aswell, dc'ed 2 times in 20 seconds during a vq, while still being connected through vent, and my party members were dc'ed aswell ...

Vazze · Oct 19, 2008, 08:42 PM // 20:42

I am monitoring US, EU and Asian servers, none of them even flinch during the 20s lag spikes that has been almost normal in GW recently. I am not saying there are no momentary increases once or twice a day on the net, but GW is dropping out every 15 minutes. Btw I haven't seen any major lag since yesterday, ping is low too.

FrAnt1c² · Oct 20, 2008, 02:38 AM // 02:38

It's guildwars itself for sure, never seen 3 people in the same party dc at the same time, while still being connected on vent tbh, so we know for sure its not our internet connection, nor our computers.
