Another Weekend Event Plagued By Laggggggg
Carinae
I have lagged out now 4 times in an hour with err7. I know a guildie and 2 alliance-mates with the same issue.
I just CAN'T play MM with the lag! WTH!

Not to mention the exploit with Necrotic Traversal in Quarry, I'll admit, I used it. :P Also my friend seems to lag in the Frozen Forest and gets disconnected.

I've been having Sound-card outages more frequently. (i.e. I have to reboot the program to hear sound)
Unsure if it's related, though...

I pwnd U
I have been having some lag issues, but that could be due to the fact that i am on a school network thats not very good. I am also in CST.

Are you all meeting the comp reqs for GW? I'd assume you are, but I'd check again, if I were you. :\

I'm in CST and been having terrible terrible lag. Been d/ced about 5 times now. Cant' even go in ToA.

I just got my 27th err 7 in the last hour. It's getting quite annoying, to say the least.
My connection is fine. I can access anything else I want to just fine. My computer more than meets the requirements for GW, and hasn't had a problem up until now anyway.
It's definitely Anet, not us.

I am lagging like hell, servers are really messed up atm. I am on a 45Mb T3 line, and needless to say, I never DC or lag, and I've DCed 9x and getting 30sec-2min lag spikes. They come in waves.
AmberDawn
massive lag spikes did anet go to 56k servers now or what??????
garethporlest18
Is it just something with the CST time zone or midwest? Cause it's kind of ruining and GW game time.

I've had no more lag then I usually do, must be you
Curse You
I start up my game, and it's fine for about 2 minutes, then begins to lag.
I have bad lag, but it could be for a number of reasons.
Now it might just be the fact that my computer is old, and it may be overheating a little (it's not air conditioned
). I have, however, tried running my computer after turning it off for an hour and leaving the case whide open, while waving my Processor's heat sync around to cool it. I still get lag after 2 minutes.
I'm in EST, and I use European servers, that might cause some problems.
However, I have not in the past had any problems with my computer running this game, even on european servers.

Wacky
Whenever there's a weekend event, I lag like crazy / disconnect. Very annoying.
arcanemacabre
I haven't really had much lag issues. Rather, none at all. I am having that sound issue from time to time (where it seems to cut out, then back on), and that is completely new. Never had any sound problems before this weekend.

Amity and Truth
Would be interesting to see which realm is suffering from the Lag. I take any bet on it being European Servers again as a lot of people i know that play on Europe are suffering from insane lag (me too).
Damn lag actually cost my new char the Survivor Title. The game just stopped responding for 1 full minute after which i found my char with 15% DP -.-
Bitter sweet.
We were once told to just look up at that page but just out of experience by the time the site is updated to reflect the issues is normally when the issues have been rampant enough to start a huge fire. And by then everyone knows it anyways.

How do you wave your processor's heat sink around?
If you want to check temps you can get a program called speedfan which does a decent job of it. That'll tell you if there's a heat problem.

It is happening more frequently to me these days.
TalonTheCat
Yep, me too I finally got in FoW when America got favor (thanks for going to sleep Europe!) and lagged out twice.

You might be mixing up some case fan with heatsink. Just do some research to get the terminology straight. On the other hand, processors aren't the only components that can overheat. It could more likely be your graphics card overheating, or even more likely nothing is overheating, you computer just :sucks:
If it was overheating it would probably be crashing, not lagging, or after a while of lagging it would crash.
Do you use wireless internet?
Background spyware or such running?
TheMadKingGeorge
i lagged for 5 mins at imperial sanctum thts all
johan the destroyer
I was lagging inside outposts, but then I just went to international districts and bye bye lag.
majoho
If you only lag in outposts/towns it's more likely that it's your graphics card that can't keep up with all the chars there.
Overall I don't see why there should be more lag during event than during normal weekends - remember you are in a district not on ONE server hosting a lot of people (unlike games like WoW and such)

Hmm, I'm not lagging at all. I'm more worried about the 2 8v2's then 1 7v3 I had in a row today
Carinae
The lag is much better today, but not entirely gone.
Jamison0071

Riken Chrono

Also note that playing over wireless is not recommended, as a wireless connection can often suffer from momentary glitches. You connection will still appear to be fine and internet or other services will still be running fine - they are less susceptible to momentary glitches - however Guild Wars will see that data has stopped coming in, and may result in either lag or disconnection. Note that the further away you are from the wireless router/modem (or if there is any other issue that may cause signal loss, such as thick walls) the more likely you are to experience a problem of this type.
Having said that, I always play over wireless at home
