Close UW/FoW for the entire event. The lag these events introduces is ridiculous, and trying to play these areas is pointless. Don't you people realize that the ENTIRE game is affected?

I thought the Dragon Festival was redone to forgive lag?

The event is good though, gives me another chance to camp the afkers on the rings, steal their presents, and make 100k. If they are doing the presents this time that is.

What you're trying to tell me theres an event going on, and there is lag? This cant be true.. nope, not at all... /sarcasm
I saw this coming from a mile away.. anytime they do an event like this.. the entire game goes to the crapper. I just find it funny that this whole weekend is to make up for another lag filled one!
I really wish they would do "an non-event event weekend of lag free goodness" NO crappy novelty items, NO double this or that.. just one solid weekend of lag free gameplay! now that would be a weekend I'd make some time for!

today i was trying to do teh festival quests and all i got was constant rubberbandes, it is worser then the last dragon festival :\ , maybe theres too much ppl on at the same time that causes this lag....

New event, "A tribute to lag" (all accounts have 20k+ ping for the weekend)...
Seriously though can we at least have one lag free weekend...

does is really surprise people that were getting major lag? lag is to be expected with fow/uw open virtually 24/7 to ALL regions and all the afk ring people.
but closing fow/uw for the duration of the event? thats a little overboard imo

Event Lag FTL.
That's right, a 30 second ping. Oh, and I'm on broadband DSL. My connection with the web/e-mail was working just fine.

Your complaining about that?
last time me and most of my guild had an average ping of 30,000 and spikes of up to 200,000

I have yet to experience any lag at all this weekend. Nor have I during any of the other event weekends.
MithranArkanere
That lag is not due to events.
Is due to weekends. On weekends more people log in, regardless of events.

I think people need to whine less about stuff on these forums so they don't lag up as much.

There's several causes for lag, don't be so quick to attribute your problems to one source.

I understand how many things can contribute to lag; perhaps I mis-phrased my other post.

Gimme Money Plzkthx
I've been lag spiking horribly this whole weekend.
Abbess
Though i agree lag increases on these weekends, the lag is also concentrated to one area. Therefore, just avoid these problem spots as much as possible. Go explore a remote area. Or go questing for the sake of questing.
Remember that showing up say in Shing Jea is a personal decision. ANet can only open up "X" many districts. If you think the lag is a headache for you, consider how much of a migraine it is for the ANet employees managing the Servers O.o

Nope, I've been lagging all over, not just in one area.

Ehhh, I havent signed on since last night, Is it getting that bad?
Tachyon
Pings of 60,000+ earlier!
On a 8MB MaxDSL line and everything else is working perfectly fine, just not GW! It's OK though as Support say there's nothing wrong, so we must all be liars!

Yeah, I've been getting some bad lag spikes. Cost me my Survivor title on my Paragon =/.

I didn't have any lag trouble the first time this event came around, but now I'm getting spiked (lost a lead in Dragon's Nest because of one) off and on and the load between some areas is horrific.
I just hope this isn't a precursor to the GWEN preview. When the Nightfall preview event was running, I was finding myself in spots where I was hit with bleeding, poison, etc. effects and the lag was so bad that I'd just bleed out before I could heal it. It was horrible.

Last night i got a couple of 130k+ pings in the northlands and a few areas of pre-ascalon (thus, another day of deathleveling lost ¬¬*)
Since i have played through the dragon event and several weekends before without trouble, i would think that the ulgy amount of lag has something to do with the last update and maybe network problems (i mean, it started right after i updated :/)

Lost my survivor last night when the even started up and I lagged into a group of mobs. Decided to take the weekend off the game, makes it easier that way and I wont risk losing another survivor.

i never have lag. you guys are a bunch of whiners.

Btw - anyone else STILL suffering from lag?
I played two RA and one Aspy game today and in all three matches I had lag spikes of 6k.
(And I think it's worse then yesterday - at least yesterday once players got in (IF they did!) they seemed to play normally (as normal as W/A assassins are))

@Upier: Same here, I lost in 6th game (ggg....) because I had a 2-minute lag, which ended in a err007. They said it was because of the high temperatures... D'oh my butt.
I guess that there will be ANOTHER dragon redux... But I guess I'll be playing Fury again.

closing uw/fow just to prevent lag is nonsence, we had a 207 minute favor at a certain point even lol.
the lag was kinda lame, but i got the most lag as the prizes were dropping, and once they stopped dropping the lag would quickly vanish.
auto asign to hard on the gw servers?

it'll be time to hide in the bomb shelter if they ever close fow/uw just to have a weekend event.
duck and cover, people. the shitstorm is about to hit.
