As far as I know FoW always lags, probably some design error.

ive never had lag in fow but i rarely go too

This is kinda funny, because I was in about an hour/hour and a half ago, and lagged to kingdom come. Now, before you're quick to pick apart the situation, take all this into consideration.

I'm on dialup (but not for much longer).
I was on last night, no lag whatsoever.
My FPS is usually low due to hardware (12-17 range).
My ping is usually 200-400ms (again, I blame hardware).

Seems to indicate trouble, right? Wrong. Last night - ran smoothly, without a hitch. Log in this morning, my FPS is in the 15-18 range (pretty good, all things considered). My ping indicator a solid yellow or red most of the time. Ping around 450-480ms. Average ping at one point over 3,600ms. Lines I typed in Guild and Alliance chat took forever to show up. My character I was on at the time would charge forward (due to "Charge!"?) but my hands were not on the keyboard. When I went to turn her to go around a corner, she would overturn considerably. I finally got fed up and logged.

I don't know what's going on, but I'd sure love to!

Nope, not being sarcastic. After dealing with their incompetence on several occasions, I've quickly realized that their moto is "Blame them". I really hate their support or should I say, lack of support. I've lost all my black dye from my armor on my warrior (12K per dye at the time I bought it). My warrior has also lost ALL this secondary skill aside from the class I was on. So I had a w/r with no ranger skills, w/e with no ele, no necro, rit... ect... I had to buy all the skills back because they didn't want to restore my stuff even though I gave proof that my skills were gone.
Try to tell them that the game is lagging, they try to say it's my connection. I've went through what they wanted me to do... several times in the same ticket because the person didn't want to scroll down to read the report I was giving back to them from their program that they asked me to download. Then threaten to close my ticket because I'm not doing what they said. Must be the tech help level 2 guys who know how to scroll down. Then they say my system and connection is fine. It might have been an internet hicup.... yeah for days on end... some hicup. Then a few days later, they shut down their servers to do emergy repairs that was causing lag. Anyways I can probably write a small novel on them, but back to the subject

I have cable internet (I can d\l over a meg per second)
FPS above 40 (geforce8500gt 512 megs of ram on it)
2.4 processor, 1.5 gigs of ram
My ping is anywhere between 75 and 300 on any given day.
Yet I can get lag spikes, dc, rubber banding, skills not work, ect you name it I've had it. I have other guild members with the same, if not better, system than I have and they lag just as bad.
I really don't think it's anyones pc/connection that is the problem. FPS would be your graphics card, but not the lag and err=7. It is and always has been the anet servers.

If they can't fix their lag issues for gw1, what makes you think they can fix it for gw2.

HayesA · Nov 27, 2007, 07:53 PM // 19:53

I have been experiencing really BAD lag this past month. Every so often 14k MS pings, bad rubber banding, horrible freeze ups, and the occasional DC. It's nto my network either. I have checked, double checked, triple checked, quaduple checked my router/modem/switch settings now.

But I seriously think it's a bad hub somewhere. Did a trace route, and my connection started to hang up somewhere around Florida. Dunno why it's going to Florida, though.

Hey Gaile, you guys don't house the East Coast servers in Florida do you?

Red Sonya · Nov 27, 2007, 08:41 PM // 20:41

No lag for me an I'm on dialup.

Probably yalls internet hubs under stormy or bad weather conditions or some animal ate the lines. haha

Ya I got Err7 first the first time in along time this morning. Nothing as bad as losing survivor happened though.

Alexandra-Sweet · Nov 27, 2007, 08:58 PM // 20:58

Come one, Legendary Survivor is a joke, probably one of the easiest titles to max.

Messy · Nov 27, 2007, 10:02 PM // 22:02

I can't even remember the last time I lagged or disconnected... until last night, I disconnected 3-4 times

I knew that much. Thing is, my out-of-game web browsing and everything is where it should be for a 56k dialup connection. Thus my connection can't be the problem, it has to be he servers.

I tried to log in about an hour to see if the situation had improved. Walked around in town, everything was fine. Went outside. Severe server lag city. Logged right out shortly thereafter. I don't know what's going on but it really needs to be fixed. Should have cable internet by a week from thursday. I'd love the game to be lag-free by then.

Molock · Nov 28, 2007, 12:53 AM // 00:53

I have been experiencing lag.. my ping varies from 100ms to 4k ms in a matter of seconds and its not just me.. a few of my friend are also lagging a lot and their ping is all over the place.

Cats · Nov 28, 2007, 02:20 AM // 02:20

I've had about four alliance battles where majority of the Luxons were frozen for at least 2 minutes at the start while the Kurzicks got a hefty headstart. By the time it unfroze, was a tad late to catch up. The weird thing is if a big portion of the Luxons were lagging, why not the Kurzicks?

Kusandaa · Nov 28, 2007, 03:13 AM // 03:13

Yeah, whenever I'm in an outpost I don't lag as much. As soon as I exit, I'm done for. I lagged my way through Vloxen Excavation and into Alcazia Tangle, then we decided to give up. I'm in my GH right now, not lagging at all. Quite frustrating since I barely lag usually.

pamelf · Nov 28, 2007, 05:16 AM // 05:16

I'm guessing it has something to do with the impending BMP. Lag spikes always seem to happen right before new content...

chowmein69 · Nov 28, 2007, 06:15 AM // 06:15

was laggin alot 3 hours ago and i couldnt move and when lagg ended im dead

jrk247 · Nov 28, 2007, 08:22 AM // 08:22

I've been having bag lag for the past week, or I'll even randomly get an err7 with no reconnect. Got ~3 err7's and one reconnect popped up and it didn't work and still continued to get err7's every 5 minutes until I just logged off for the day. I know it's not my ISP because everything else works just fine. Wouldn't even mind half the lag if I could actually use the reconnect feature that's supposed to work...

Sha Noran · Nov 28, 2007, 10:00 AM // 10:00

If it wasn't lagging, it wouldn't be Guild Wars. It's a feature, not a bug!

Well, I was playing Kurz las night and could barely move at points. I gave up after a second match where I rubberbanded.

One of my teammates didn't get on until half-way through the match. No idea if lag, or he just had a slow connection.
