I did consider quitting because of lag but then I got a new computer and it has been pretty much lag free since then

Pretty much sums me up. I mean, I have had the occasional lag spike from time to time, but I'd say 99.9% of the time it's A-OK end except during holidays. Those rare lag spikes could be issues on my end, though.

Ima Paladin err07'd out of a championship match (on what should have been a LAN) that caused his team to lose. He then threw his headset into the crowd watching the teams play, and ANet still didn't care. Are they really going to fix the shitty servers because of this thread? ...

Um,Lag issues? What are you talking about? I'm on a 2 and a half year old computer(Buying a new one on my birthday) and I have NO problems running GW. No lag. At all. Every time I go on a game forum people complain about the lag "@NET SUXZ0RS MAHCOCK MANG SHITTEH SEVARS". It's not the servers its your computer that dates back farther than 2000.

No, really, Anet's servers are quite bad. There are far more people that have problems than those who don't.

I don't lag at all or very very rarely and very very little.

I'm thinking it's you computer and/or your internet connection. Check that before you blame ANET.

Maximumraver · Nov 24, 2007, 04:12 PM // 16:12

The lag is never really bad, though when i'm above 250 i don't PvP.

chowmein69 · Nov 24, 2007, 04:34 PM // 16:34

Take a traceroute to the IP listed in the corner, see where your bottleneck is. If you see a router has a bad response time, send in a ticket to your ISP so they can get it fixed (or they can open a ticket with their peer so they can clean up the issue).

However, if their is no report to the telecom/ISP company, they may not see an issue.

onerabbit · Nov 24, 2007, 04:57 PM // 16:57

i dont lagg that often, but when i do, its phuking bad

...

its my wireless most of the time. IT IS SHIT!

Neo Nugget · Nov 24, 2007, 04:58 PM // 16:58

ha, no i wouldn't quit because of lag:P That's silly.

My Green Storage · Nov 24, 2007, 05:28 PM // 17:28

I quit GW because of lag and partially because I needed a new game.

It's pretty stupid, playing at 3am (Mountain) and I'm getting lag spikes.
Pissed me off so hard.

Even when I go and do a few solo runs, I still get lag spikes.

Dallcingi · Nov 24, 2007, 06:42 PM // 18:42

No... if its computer lag then just get a new computer.
Internet lag= get better dsl/cable! your internet may be acting up or something
I have a normal dsl connection and I am fine... no lag.
Problem fixed.

jull · Nov 24, 2007, 06:50 PM // 18:50

most of europeans have heavy lag on gw.

I ve got 70ping on every fps and 250/600 on gw most of the time. Same goes for many friends. builds with 1/4 cast skills like infuse, prot spirit and interupts are hard to play now.

I ve head a lot of friends thinking to move for any other game, bored that they can t play normal build due to those lag.

Thing is, i suspect Anet to get less servers, they wont sell any new guild wars, they don t care anymore.

Part of the problem is that GW has had its system requirements gradually increase over the years. GW Prophecies could be run easily, but GW:EN consumes a lot more RAM to perform all the fancy new graphic functions. A computer that could have run GW perfectly fine 2 years ago might struggle a lot now.

Really, I'm kinda ticked at all the kiddies here saying "buy a new computer." I'm sorry, but some people here have to pay $1500 for a new CPU, and not just have daddy buy it for them. That's a lot of money to throw down for a video game.

Other then that the game is wonderfull

PS: I have a 4 megabyte connection which has been more then good since the 2 years I have been playing gw

Try using a 56k dialup modem connection and taking 1-2 hrs jsut to downlaod each zone *100.....i have those issues and lag yet i sitll play the game FFS quit bitchingn please. People in 3rd world have better net than some developed countries and the opposite can be said.

As I said above, "I am not bitching" this is simply an observation as a player who plays the game for the fun of it.

In reference to your "3rd World Countries", i am not comparing nor am i moaning about it, this is just a critisism and an observation as many people on this thread have mentioned that everyone has had lag this is simply a place to either express there opinions or let ANET know there is an issue.

Nothing more.

You'd be suprised how much maintenance on telecom networks occur from 11pm-6am (standard window for out of hours work).

lutz · Nov 24, 2007, 07:39 PM // 19:39

I get upwards of 300 ping a LOT of the time.
Yes, I have considered quitting; I've pretty much just played a whole lot less.
