Extreme lag today

Texas here... lag is horrible this evening for me too. Spikes in the 1500's at times.

And no, it's not my ISP or my connection. I validated that using 3rd party testing tools and other remote servers sniffing for packet loss.

Connecting to 216.107.241.13

I came in here to say exactly the same thing as AceeBlueEagle.

N. Texas, pings above 500 spiking to 5000+ every 30s. Not my ISP or connection as it works with every other game/application and has been validated using other methods. Been this way for about a week now, sure wish Anet would get on the ball and fix their problem.

I've already said I'm having the same issues on other threads, but I might as well add it to this one as well. Playing from US East Coast, average pings 500+, sometimes over 1000.. spikes usually between 1 and 3k are quite common, sometimes 5-10k.

I'm in the eastern US (Ohio), and have also been having the same lag problems also since the dragon festival started.

Since then, only 1 day was normal (150ms or so ping) but otherwise, pings range from 350-800ms, sometimes up around 1000-1500ms.

I'm fairly forgiving about stuff like this, but if the problem goes on much longer, I and many other daily players will end up getting sucked into another game while we occupy ourselves, waiting for GW to become playable again.

(And this lag is not related to my internet connection or PC; I can ping any other types of servers with a good response time, I'm getting my full 1.5Mbps badwidth of my connection, and my framerates are normal)

I'm in ohio too and i'm feeling the same lag. Nothing using extra bandwidth, no lag like this in other games, and more than enough bandwidth for GW and then some.

Having been playing fine this morning in England, was 5am so dont know if that helped

The strange thing is that the lag is gone today . The only thing I still get is 007 errors all the time and DC's. It's frustrating

Same tonight as last night, unplayable

Was ok this afternoon.

SE England

Florida here, cant even play with 1500-4500 ping spikes every 15 sec.

As Bazz said was ok this afternoon then from around 4pm eruo districts just a complete waste of time.
Inter sever's ok but still not great

This has been going on far too long now ANET get it sorted please.

West Midlands here in UK.

I had horrible lag during last weekend at the beginning of the Dragon Festival. After that finished, the lag had completely disappeared all week. I played most of today fine without any lag. Now getting regular 5-10k spikes as of 6pm+(GMT, Scotland.) this evening on Euro Districts. (Not much better in Intl.)

I had really bad lag up until the end of last weekend, then it pretty much cleared up. But as of about ~5.00 GMT it suddenly became really laggy again.

Virtually unplayable for me atm in uk...

I can't move around in European districts. I can't do anything. Error7 every 2 minutes.

I can use the International districts but not when I'm trading because Spamadan International is all spambots saying, "wts unide 7=5k ok."

It's obviously not my connection because the International districts are fine and multiple others (see above) are experiencing the same problem. It's been 2 and a half weeks of on-off lagging and errors and I'm sick to death of it. We're told its a routing problem in Frankfurt and that it's being monitored and resolved but the skeptic in me senses budget cuts or the priority lies on GW:EN and GW2.

If I buy the GW:EN and GW2 is this what I'll be paying for? Don't get me wrong, the connection is usually fine and this does make me grateful for the usually smooth performance but the time-scale of this issue is highly unreasonable.

When will it end? I'm rapidly losing confidence in the servers/routers and I believe others are too.

Unplayable here tonight as well. Was great all day come around 6pm+1 gmt and spikes ranging from 25k-100k

Netherlands here playing on Euro servers

USA/Massachusetts
The game has been unplayably lagged for over a week.

Same here as lady ana stacia,

It's unplayable for me, my game freezes up because of lag every 25 seconds or sooner..
some game freezes lasted up to 5 minutes and i have had several errors 7 and 19.

Didn't check my ping yet but will do next time.
Also in Holland btw

And it seems some people are unnafted by this as several guildies and friends of mine do experience lag but not to the degree that it's unplayable.

Spikes up to 70k ping, totally unplayable. No GvG ftl, this sucks really hard. Has been like this for over two weeks here in Germany, with some days inbetween where it was acceptable.

USA/Ohio, the game has had lag spikes every 30 secs of so for the past five days or so.

PvE is playable I guess, but PvP completely sucks.

as ive said before and ill say it again piss take..
