Me thinks anet forgot to pay their bills -.-

garethporlest18 · Feb 21, 2007, 07:05 AM // 07:05

Okay it's back again what the smokes? Was trying to go to LA, got D/ced, got the black reconnect screen at it froze there.

Yuan · Feb 21, 2007, 07:05 AM // 07:05

Omg...I thought it was gone and went into UW...><

Yep, its back.

I'm lagging as well... I thought it was connected to the New Years event, but I find I still lag like crazy every now and then.

I don't know what's up

Redfeather1975 · Feb 21, 2007, 07:23 AM // 07:23

Every once in a while today, I'd go up to 13-15k. I live in Southern Ontario.
I met another person who was going up to 22k. They lived in Buffalo.
Weird.

Morgenstern · Feb 21, 2007, 07:26 AM // 07:26

Same in New Zealand - 20 to 30 seconds every 5 seconds or so. I haven't been d/ced but have 13k ping, doesn't seem to affect character selection screen and logging in times...

There is a sticky thread here somewhere that helps you defrag your gw.dat file that will help a little on your end. Won't solve all your problems as its something server side (or inbetween) causing problems. Don't expect an announcement from anet, they don't have to tell us anything so likely won't.

Gamecam has become impossible for me to run since nightfall was introduced and the lag seems to get worse after every weekend event. Sounds to me like anet has a gw.dat file of their own that needs defragging. Haven't noticed the server shut down for maintenance for a while now but it definetely needs it :P

Arkantos · Feb 21, 2007, 07:31 AM // 07:31

Lag is gone for me now.

Jeff Highwind · Feb 21, 2007, 07:36 AM // 07:36

Lagged alot from 2pm-5:30pm during AB. It was painful to see so many deaths on my ele after lagging right in front of a gank crew.

Can't say anything about now though.

Gordon Ecker · Feb 21, 2007, 07:51 AM // 07:51

I'm lagging too. My ping's generally in the 150-300 range, but I've gotten about half a dozen error 7s over the past hour or so. My server IP is currently 216.107.240.163 and I'm in the greater Vancouver / Fraser valley area (BC).

=DNC=Trucker · Feb 21, 2007, 07:58 AM // 07:58

This problem is getting really bad. If more and more people are playing the game causing lag the money they make from it should go to beef up services right? Guess not... balance your profits with playability!

Jamison0071 · Feb 21, 2007, 07:58 AM // 07:58

Lag here too :S

M1h4iL · Feb 21, 2007, 08:29 AM // 08:29

Yap lag here too, and I have had it for a LONG time. I get a ping of 300 ish average but now its 10k+, making GW unplayable.

Orinn · Feb 21, 2007, 09:30 AM // 09:30

I've been getting the intermittant lag spikes for about a week now. Ping suddenly jumps from 300-ish to 17k or better, just for one ping, and then everything's fine again. Had my first Err7 today, and I was talking to a friend when it happened, he experienced it as well, although it didn't disconnect him. Living in northwest Ohio, american server.

lightblade · Feb 21, 2007, 09:39 AM // 09:39

This is why working as a programmer is so stressful. You get a call at 1 in the morning that tells you to get up and fix the server.

Crystal Of Winter · Feb 21, 2007, 10:32 AM // 10:32

It comes and goes here, but what really annoys me is rubber banding ~_~

Rene Saliere · Feb 21, 2007, 10:49 AM // 10:49

The Favor system makes most players play on America or Europe, and ignore their own regional servers. This would promote lag I would think.

trexrea · Feb 21, 2007, 10:51 AM // 10:51

I gave up on the Rollerbeetles, that was a bummer, you think you winning, then you find yourself against the wall in last place AUGH!!

When I go into the 1st battle I always get extreme lag... average ping 10-30... 1st battle ping 2000+ wow
