I would like to know how Random Arena is like during this weekend for other people.

So far I've had.
007 disconnects
Party members not showing up
007 disconnects when the counter hits 0 before entering a match
Huge lag spikes.

In short: it's costume brawl all over again.

All the bad stuff; luckily I got my account to UAX just as the weekend was starting, so I might steer clear of it for the weekend.

Once I got to rank 3 Gladiator last year, I took a retirement from it. No point in raising your gladiator rank if you only need so much to get it in the HoM. Why waste more time? Am I right?

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

Some really nasty games with 15k pings and others are fine.

It's extremely frustrating.

Last night I had massifve lag spikes. i though I had d/ced then after 30secs-min I lagged from the start gates to under the bridge on the beach map, and saw 640 dmg worth of attacks pop up on my screen x.x

Not fun at all

On a positive note, Age of Conan players are getting regular 10k pings and disconnects everywhere they go all the time, so ArenaNet's doing much better than Funcom in server stability terms.

This is getting utterly stupid. Hardly any people are successfully loading in to the map and those who do get in can't move for the lag. If all of these people are lagging it can't be my connection that is the problem.

Why bother creating an event like this without sufficient resources to cope with it?

Only way I could get gladpoints is playing as a monk, most monk's playing ra this weekend are pve players trying to heal stuff with healing seed and heal party... Needless to say, they die the second a warrior frenzy's on their ass

First time in ages that I've had a group that "balanced"...
Noob-wise, TA is nice too this weekend, pve guilds that try pvp for a change, love it.

Had a CRAZY match on the Crag (kill count) today. All 8 players were in slideshow mode for the entire match. All anyone could do was buttonmash and hope for the best. My team won 7-5, but it was brutal.

I don't PvP that much, but I checked out RA and I was lagging on and off. So I went back to vanguishing.

GvG/HA/RA/TA is unplayable today due to awesome lag spikes, thanks Anet


a bit constant lag is not much of a problem (unless you go mesmer/ranger), but these terrible lag spikes... you can't even see whats going on

Oh, hey, don't poke fun at Costume Brawl. That was a great game.

I've had normal lag as well as a few lag spikes here and there. I haven't gotten much for gladiator points, but faction is still coming in pretty nicely.
