I'm getting my normal (based on 2 days of play, anyways 
range of between 100 & 300ms. Such pings make UT2004 unplayable for me, but are seeming to be quite reasonable for GW...

Day 2 of the same problem. I hate rubberbanding in town, and taking 45+ secs for my chats to appear after hitting enter.
Please don't tell me to shut this off, and that off, defrag drive, etc etc. Been there done that, ran 3 different scans, pulling out hair thinking my computer is acting up. Can't find anything on my end and with the sudden appearance, makes me suspisious as to source.

I cant even chat, I just stand there with people rubberbanding all over the place, and after a while I just get an err7, already defragged and downloaded the client again. I can browse and play other games fine, so this isnt a problem of ISP.
Anet? anyone?

I've had a ping of 381,000. I didn't even know that was possible. This game has become unplayable to me now.
I've closed down every application I can, defragged the .dat file, blew all the dust out of my computer even brushed my hair to the other side. Nothing helps.
This sucks.

My ping was hitting 50k tops. However, I seem to d/c a lot these days. Not my connection, as my connection never drops...
Anet...wtb new servers? PM me. Can supply some nice ones just in from Asia.

Anet servers are the worst pile of [blank] I've ever had the misfortune to play on. How you can have a "competitive" game with pings like these is beyond me.
And it's not only apparent with "bonus" weekends either.
Over a couple of years I've read various threads on this subject and bit my tongue and hoped the problem would be fixed, but no.
Its always some third partys problem with the Ctrl+c and Ctrl+v answers.
1. Defrag your hard drive :/
2. Its a network failure between you and anet.
3. check your firewall antivirus software.
ect.
The ping indicator is always orange Consistantly for me in the U.K
Just like a lot of other problems it gets neglected and the pattern just repeats over and over.
c'est la vie :|

this is irratating, I already gave up for this weekend but I dont know what I wil do if the problem persists after it. I cant even send a question to support, their site doesnt seem to be working. Im pissed.

yes pings are bad this weekend....think that anet has given up on gw servers, 'why bother????'
last night I had a bunch of 11k pings and a 20k one , and then the next one disconnected me...
played later on another character and I spent most of it just watching since when I would catch up the minions and h/h had everything under control. My average pings were in the 5-7k range....this is just as bad as when factions went live!
today has been better, no reallly badd lagg spikes, just lots and lots of 2-5k ones....more watching as my h/h do stuff....wouldnt even think of joining a group with that kind of stuff going on.
(and my survivor is on vacation---)

I'm still getting my normal 100-300ms range, though I *did* have a single 800ms or so spike yesterday morning...

dc'd twice last night and the lagg getting into towns was horrible (like over a minute to load thngs that are usually only a few seconds at most).
I dont think things are going to get better--only worse with our trusty anet team devoting all their time to the new and improved gw2! I think our gw servers are just going to decline more and more---maybe anets way of getting us all to move over to gw2?

For the last week and a half, I to have been having near unplayable pings, with constant rubberbands and stopping completly. I was thinking maybe it was an ISP problem, but since I can browse the web and stuff pretty normally, i'm not so sure. It's really annoying because normally I would GvG or HA were reasonable pings are a must, and lately I haven't been able to do any of this stuff...
My pings are nearly always red and above 1,000....

Well, I have normal ping, no lag, even with people in the house downloading torrents and things.

I have been getting very unplayable pings for the past week, I have had an over 180k ping when loading up FoW, this weekened now has been pretty pointless for me as I can't even see where i am most of the time, I was going to attempt to get lots of ectos as I am working on FoW armor for my monk, but as it takes so long to cast spells i am dead before i can see i have taken any damage.
The only good news is that it seems to go after 24:00 gmt, and seems to start around 13:00 gmt... peak times for servers?

just been in touch with support, they said it's my drivers for my graphics card. Who knows, its worth a shot. I even tried re-connectiong my wireless router, still and average ping of 6000. If this works, i'll be a very happy person

support just passes the bucket. Not my ISP ,not my computer, anet its your servers.
I played some gvgs yesterday night with a normal ping, but if I tried going to an outpost it was back to 40,000ms.

Something is wrong when everyones computers "Go South" at the same time.

It would be nice if Anet would tell us if they have decided to save money with cheaper servers as it could have a bad impact on there reputation. If this is how they treat us know how can we be sure of the quality of GW2?
Due to this I think they will loose alot of customers due to there pretty poor customer service as they just blame everyone else and it cant be there fault because they are so great.

Funny thing happened, got the New Build announcement in game, logged off, did the -image thing, logged on. Spent 15 minutes in presear Ascalon, then went Charr hunting. After one run through, came back to town to sell stuff and help with 3 res sigs quests. The whole time I was lag free.
As suddenly as it appeared, it has disappeared.
What was in that update?

I ended up with the 007 error like a week ago when the update was there tried everything and in the end i reinstalled gw that didn't even help so after that i say heck why not try and move my GW.dat file out and redownload well that actually solved the problem cause i wasn't even able to log in, yes it's a pain you have to redownload the full image (+- 3.7 gb here) but it solved even the 058 error
