Lag atm?
Big_Iron
I was doing HA last night (American Servers) and my ENTIRE team lagged out. We got frustrated and quit. I did a little PvE afterward and still had terrible lag...to the point that I quit and called it a night.

Error 7 all the time... gg Anet
BigDave
Was doing a lot of AB last night and again this afternoon. The lag is unbelievable. One minute i'm happily killing everyone around me and the next a ten second pause and i'm dead. Or a fight breaks out nearby and by the time i come out of a lag spike my team is dead and i've got 3 assassins trying to gank me.
I understand it's not under anets direct control but this is way, way, WAY beyond a joke now.

What if I buy something from the online shop? Will someone then get their finger out? Or is everyone too busy working on GW:EN, GW2 and other money making excursions?

Lagging again, after being fine for a week. Game is unplayable. This HAS to be fixed permanently!
I suspect Anet has cut costs on their servers, thinking they can get by with less bandwidth as the game population thins. gg, really.

Anet is killing the game....good job imo !!

Well im handing in my guildwars tags (so to speak) not because of the lag spikes, but because they decide to have such a big event like the dragon festival even after they have acknowledged that theres a server problem. That imo is the single biggest bad move anet have made. gaile openly admitted that there seems to be a problem and yet they still do an event like the dragon festival.
So im gonna miss out on the event since i cant play without having my ping in excess of 1500.
I will definitly not be buying GWEN or GW2 now.
time to find another mmorpg to play.

We're aware of an issue in Europe that seems, for the most part, to be affecting players in Germany and Holland. (And I imagine that could include players in the US who are playing in the EU districts, too, although that part is speculation on my part.) The issue report emails have been passing my desk all day, and I know multiple people are a couple of teams are working to figure out the problem and resolve it. We're very sorry for this inconvenience! |

Please STOP the pointless whining and threatening.
The last thing we want is for ArenaNet to read this thread and think: "Vocal minority, let them whine all they want."
They've said it before, it's not their fault, it's not their servers which they privately own, only a routing issue in an internet hub in Franfurt connecting to their data center.
http://www.guildwars.com/support/networknews/
What we NEED is official word from ArenaNet concerning:
a) The situation in Frankfurt.
b) An ETA on when normal server activity will resume. Are we talking hours, days, weeks or worse?
Please, don't leave us in the dark.

Which we aren't getting. Which is the main reason I'm pissed off. The fact they just let us in the dark sucks as much as the fact a game I paid for hasn't been playable for a week(!).
No more Anet games for me, GG.

Another evening of unspeakable lag. Getting 250 victory tokens for the mask is going to be hell this way.
EDIT: I guess today being a festival event isn't helping. Average ping of 7,439 right now. It took me minutes just to buy some tickets and park my ass on a ring. It's a good thing they have these afk games, because that's all I can do today.

Just spent 2 days away rebuilding my pc and now the game is unplayable.
They should not have any more event weekends until this is sorted.

For most of us the Dragon Festival is an enjoyable One but has we all know lag spoils the fun...so ANET has a suggestion...why not extend this Festival for another week or a weekend Once the problem is sorted.
Players can still have fun on the days they have missed due to this lag and gain their lucky title

From Belgium here, and the lag has only been observated from wednesday the 4th. My gf who is on the same ISP as me got the same lags and it's not playable at all. I asked at Kamadan for other people on the same ISP as me (skynet) and they were all having huge lags, though on other games I dont have lag at all and the net itself is as quick as usual.
Biggest latency observed was over 21k. I know some of you guys are having this for days now, but with 2 days of this I'm already pissed off and the frustration is greater since I had 2 days off and wanted to play gw like mad.
Fix it, I beg you.
(not talking of the event, which will be running without me for sure, tried the dragon arena once and couldn't even move nor talk)

First, calm down, seriously.
I'm on your side, okay? I'm just a guy like you.
I also want to play the game. I'm also angry.
There's no need to vent your frustration at me.
Then, you can do three things:
a) Whine some more and ultimately just wait for things to get solved in due time.
b) Roll around on the floor, windmilling your arms screaming "I HATE ANET!!!", uninstall Guild Wars and never come back.
c) Submit the diagnostic report and make your voice heard directly where it counts.
Also, we need to make a clear distinction between isolated cases who have been having lag for months and pretty much everyone in parts of Europe having lag issues.
It is unfortunately unlikely that things will magically get better if you've always had lag issues.
It is, however, very likely that you can help by submitting the diagnostic report if you've just started experiencing problems in the past few days.

its not like is different my lag from your just cuz this lag affect not only me but more 5 guildies for a much time than you, so this problem exist for a while and Anet denied it, and now more ppl are suffering this problem and they finally say that "we have a problem and we cant fix it ?" RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO that really
Lagg
Exactly!
So submit the diagnostic report.
There's a serious difference between them getting 100 diagnostic reports, which they can write off as being "statistically insignificant", or everyone having problems submitting a report.
If their tech support gets flooded with these reports, it will raise some flags higher up, rest assured.

Lagg,
I like your optimism. But unless ANet/NCSoft have some sort of Service Level Agreement with whoever is giving them access/bandwidth, there is little they can do apart from complain. However, what we can do is give them ammunition.
As for me, I'm going to have a nice glass of wine and watch some stuff I've recorded. Then I'm going on holiday for 2 weeks in a couple of days.
If the game ain't fixed by the time I get back, then ANet may as well give it up, because the'll have lost a large proportion of their player base......

Couldn't agree more, Mouse.
It's still a crying shame about the lag, but the reason why I'm "defending" Anet is because they have been honest with the playerbase in the past. No reason for them to lie about this.
I just really hope they do have some authority regarding their bandwidth providers.
In the meantime, all that we can do is let ourselves be heard.
And that doesn't mean by outing endless ragequit threats, but by providing information, which may or may not be useful. There are few alternatives, anyway.
I still think Anet are doing a great effort keeping their servers running properly over 90% of the time, which is a lot more than most. Still, this issue has gone completely out of hand and needs to be resolved as fast as everyone can arrange it.
So let's keep our heads cool, our morale up and hope for the best.
In the meantime, if the kids posting on this board want to call me a moron for trying to make the best out of a bad situation, that's completely up to them. And the moderation.

green light to orange in ID, orange to dead in EN earlier so like others have said use that if your having those issues. Anet have already said its not on their end so i dont get why people are complaining at them, seems a bit pointless imo.
After playing in ID all day went back to EN a lil bit ago and now have green light.. finally after about 3 weeks 78 ping Avg 88 so maybe whatever problem there was is fixed now. Earlier i was error'ing out with 56k ping
Now just to see if this holds or if its jus a small lag free window

Seeing as it isn't resolved yet, it's probably a safer bet to stick with the ID's this weekend as I doubt it will be resolved during the weekend.

Massive lag man, used to have ping of 10-50 now its like 1k+ !! freaking annoying !

Yeah at the time of posting, the euro districts are still unplayable.
I've been managing by forming a group in Eng-1, then moving over to International-1 to actually play the mission. Of course there's still quite a high chance of Error 007 when moving between districts.

Yup, ID is where it's at.
Oh well, at least it works. High ping, but no rubber banding.
Hope we'll hear more from Anet after the weekend.

In Poland it's the same. Pings are sky-high for like 3 days now. Most of the people are really pissed-off. I wanted to have my Tormented Scythe but with this lag it's impossible to do DoA properly... And people in International districts (yay, green ball!) act like bots or something...

Ive been getting little lag spikes since school has came out where I would freeze and everything else im in the USA in Eastern area of the us and now i will get mini lag spikes all the time from this event happening. I think they need to do something about there servers when school is out or something
MercuriusTerMaxum
I just had a number of 13-22 second ping lag spikes.. most of the time it's going between 500 and 2500 ms. However ping -t www.google.com I get 20-30 ms. Something is very wrong and I can't play while it's like this. I have *cough* around 3,800 hours in, (yeah some afk some at work <.<) and up until recently I've never had any issues like this... GW is a great game but I fear if this isn't resolved soon it could be bad news for GW and Anet. I for one am not playing right now.. People are missing the chance to lose at Rollerbeetle to me and that is sad. My hopes are up and my fingers are crossed, now don't let me down Anet! You can do it!
Bassu
Hmm to my big surprise, ping for me kindda returned to normal... Last night around 3 a.m. (Warsa, Berlin Time) it was ok, but I was to excited by that fact to write a post =D I didn't really hope that when I wake up I'd have normal pings. But hey, it's green ball most of the time, sometimes turns yellow.
Keeping my fingers crossed!
