"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Having the same problems, logged in friday morning and was fine, got home from work friday evening and had to download new version/update and have been lagging stupidly ever since.
I normally have a ping of about 60-100, 150 tops 99% of the time, but am pushing a few thousand most of the time.

Am on uk servers, just glad i bought rainbow 6 vegas so sony can get some of my attention for a while

Please fix a-net!!

Lag Issues – 1 July

We wanted to let players know that we are aware that some of them have experienced latency (lag) over the last few days when playing Guild Wars. The issue is affecting many services that route through the Internet hub in Frankfurt, Germany. Our network teams report that resolving the issue is, unfortunately, outside our direct control but they are tracking the issue and doing what they can to prioritize the matter and to assist in resolving it. We apologize for the inconvenience and will do what we can to assure that this will be resolved as soon as possible.

I ran quite some tracert and except for some spikes in Ping the problem arises after it (average ping 60-70 ms). From then on its impossible to get IMCP echo commands back, Probably because a firewall or something in between doesn't allow it. This indicates in my opinion that it is not concerning public routes anymore, and that it is either the host of Anets servers or the servers themselves.

I ran a few games in international district where the ping is naturally high but it was initially without lag spikes (server in states i believe). After the first match the lag spikes came up again, but I didn't catch which server hosted us there the second time.

Disclaimer: tracert doesnt determine the exact routes, but the most efficient route, however repetitive tracert should show that the route is indeed clear for usage until the host, it is unlikely that the real route is routed via a troubled connection.

I could add some of those reports too! tried the ab event, but was insane trying to: was long killed before it showed on my screen (= lagspikes up to 23000 ping)

I hope it gets fixed soon, haven't had a decent gw play time since the latest update last week around wednesday.

Lol, the lag is back. Google, and other international sites are working well, guru if not overpopulated does well too.

Just standing at the guild hall, or being in observer mode gives me lag spikes. No , it is different. Sometimes i have spikes of low ping, usually I lag. I don't know what it is, but it is clear that this is not a simple ISP problem, and it even persists after the weekend, something I actually didn't expect.

Thats a pertty ignorant statement from Anet there, i know it isn't their problem if its isp related, but to ignore the claims of similar lag from hundreds of people that are thousands of miles away from Frankfurt, Germany. Well, what can i say.

On thursday i was getting lag a bit worse than i would normally get but i was still between green and orange occasionally red, its only since friday ive not actually been able to play the game.

I agree with the anet comment i live in the uk not germany and if american/australlian players are having the problem to it could be something else surely.

Please fix it soon im going mental.

I had a very nice weekend in AB. I froze every 15 seconds, died in a meteor shower (first time in 2 years), after my interupt missed because of lag.

Got, all counted, 18 error 7's, 64 error 19's. Called my ISP nothing wrong, no odd work on their side. There last problem was 1 month ago.

Seems to be only @ servers: 206.217..... etc
when im on 216.245 im fine. But i cant choose that.

You may still be hosted at the servers near Frankfurt. I assume the servers are there otherwise you would get more efficient routes from tracert to the servers location. Untill now, I see most AB areas are staged at the same IP range, they all trace back to germany, except the international district that traces to another location.

The IP posted above should be 206.127.146/7.xxx. All of them give major lag but according tracert the responses up to frankfurt are very nice, around 50 ms or less.

For those still suffering the horrendous lag, I suggest using the International districts whenever possible. My ping is always green there.

This is hardly new from anet. If you are kicked from the game for an unknown reason it gives the error 7 msg please check your internet connection. Even if vent and all other internet related programs still work the initial blame rests on your internet connection not anet. Even when on some occassions entire teams from different countries are kicked from the game but not vent the message implies go fiddle with your router settings which for some people may cause more problems.

As for the lag that has happened this weekend or still happening in at least my case. Is this an example of how the servers will function after gwen. If problems like this last days people will not buy the product. This weekend many players have been unable to play at all. More problems like this will put people off buying gwen or gw2.

The game is pretty much unplayable for me right now. The ping times of 1000ms and higher are bad enough, but it's the lag spikes that are killing me.

Clicking skills and nothing happens. The game catches up with you 10 seconds later and you are dead.

Time for me to go read a book or something.

Its not scientific, I know, but Speedtest.net ( http://www.speedtest.net/ ) has a Frankfurt test server....

Download 1.05Mb/s

Then tried Nuremberg

and Amsterdam

Addendum -- 1 July 9:30 PM Pacific (-7 GMT): The Network Team has just sent word that the issue is broader than once believed, and they're focusing on a previously-scheduled maintenance in the system that manages the hand-off between the core Internet switch and ArenaNet's infrastructure that connects Guild Wars hardware. This maintenance had already been scheduled for tomorrow night, but it's now hoped that beyond the original objectives of the maintenance, it will also assist in clearing up the current latency problem. I will post as/when we have more information.
this little addon to te message suggests that the problem is within the server park structure where ANet host or is hosted.

Playing from around 1 am to about 13:00 or 14:00 is fine - then lag starts to kick in and starting at around 16:00 it becomes unplayable for me.

It is? I've bought the game with all the expansions last Tuesday and I haven't been able to play 10 mins without being 'rubber banded' all over the place.

Made a ticket with the support team and they are looking into it.

My machine should be able to run the game smoothly, it seems to be a connection problem or a server problem. (connection varies from green/orange/red)

Shame, it seemed a promising game ...

Really what this is about is crappy routing, whether or not you go through the frankfurt hub. I don't go through that hub and I see no reason why ppl from england or holland would. I'm swedish so I "might" go through it. Anyway it's like last time this SH*T happened. Bad routing. Talking to plaync support about it last time they showed me I had almost 100% packet loss during the spikes which is true since I got screenshots of all 8 of my skills pinging as if they are going off while I'm frozen.

So, bad routing. Last time I had to change my ISP to get rid of it. This time it's up to anet or I'm not buying eotn or gw2.
