Anyone getting lag spikes today as well as dc's? I have had more today than I have had in a long time.

Talking to others in my alliance they have been experiencing them as well.

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

Disconnects all morning, and now I can't even log in because I get this.

Northeast US, Comcast. Probably just Comcast slowing bandwidth to games like they do torrents. Sarcasm, but I wouldn't be surprised one bit.

Join the club! Been having that all day now.

Maybe Arena Net forgot to announce a network maintenance?

Super lag, and DCs all over the place for me. I'm glad others are seeing it on the East Coast, and it isn't just me/Cocmast/Comcast.

... For like the last week or two.

Had a few err07, which is not unsurprising given how I use my bandwidth. Yet this is the first time it ever happened to me (was scarred that I'd lost my Black Moa Minipet incubator!)

Europe seems fine. At least when I played (wasn't for long). Usually lag only when holiday festivals with mass people online. Otherwise, all good.

I got off an hour ago or so, but I did notice some lag spikes around the time the OP posted his post. I even got that Code 005 thing once too. I was getting pings into the 30,000s.

Maybe the Mission Pack is getting ready to come out, hehe.

not to get too far off topic, yes comcast is flushing their buisness down the crapper..I heard rumors that they are going to be sued for like $195k for every affected subscriber for delaying/limiting BW. (groups asked FCC to fine the philly based comcast)


-for the record i'm not a comcast user, but am still getting horrid lag.

Three in my guild: 1 west, 1 east constant lag and disconnects. One in canada has been ok. Yay for crappy maintenance and business models.

we will, MONDAY when it might get read. I HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt anet pays double-time for support to work on sunday(s)...unless it is an uber emergency.

Hey flubber. If that law suit wins... does that mean us Comcast subscribers will get $195,000 worth of free interwebs, or at least a check in the mail?? He he he

Today I saw several attempts to lag. But none of them fully succeeded. The avatar would get a sense of slow motion like a lag spike was happening and usually not in combat.

I think updates for GWEN have had an affect on the entire system. ANet has taken several reports tho when the game gets disconnected. Now I have friends a couple blocks away where they get DCd several times this weekend.

Regardless, they responded. I'm pretty sure support is available 24/7. Its just that sometimes they're a bit slow.

They didn't respond with anything helpful. They just started asking questions about my connection setup. I'll let you all know if I get anything out of it.
