This is absolutely pathetic. ANet has no excuses this time.

I was vanquishing the location Pongmei Valley in Cantha and the first enemy I killed caused a disconnection error. Since then, every time I try to get on my Ranger, it doesn't want to load.

Other than that, I've had higher numbers come up in Cantha and Elona, but Prophecies/Tyria hasn't been bad at all.

Snow - they will blame the temperature. You don't remember how they used that excuse last year?

What's the story with the temperatures?
did they forget their servers in the sun?

No surprise. Getting quality servers for a free to play game isn't going to happen.

yeah it's getting ridiculous. Kind of annoying when one day I'm an interrupting god, then the next I'm lagging so much I can't get power leak on Diversion QQ

Somebody fix it plz D: *Points at Anet*

This lag is affecting the entire game. I couldn't even finish frostmaw's burrows HM because before we even started the first level, at least 1 person lagged out every time. After 3 tries, we decided to postpone Frostmaw until this stupid lag problem got fixed >< .

I beleive that NCSoft runs the servers and keeps the data as well.Anet did run the servers and kept the data actually it was better that way.

My lag is irritating but not as drastic as a lot of the people here, and I'm from Singapore. Was Duncan HMing last night, and it was awful because people kept rubberbanding into aggro.

I was running on 800-900 ping (my usual is 300-500), but it's nothing near as bad as a lot of the people here, I think. Yeah, it's hindering my ability to monk a bit, and I'm rubberbanding occasionally, but that's it. Still annoying, though.

Same thing when I was ABing - a lot of people were complaining about lag and getting stuck.

I haven't had horrible ping, just ping that makes me rubberband etc, but I do err out during loading screens occasionally, usually after selecting the character.

I want to see Regina post here and say: "Our servers are up and running over here, It must be client side!!"

She does post here, she is just very selective about what she posts because of how the general Guru community acts.

Well, shit, don't hire a lifeguard who can't swim.

Community fansites are notorious for being a hotbad for QQ, so if you become CR you automatically more or less agree to work in this environment.

No, I agree. That's not what I meant. She doesn't post in the dumb topics, is basically what I meant. Like, Gaile would post in the less important ones. (usually joking around, etc.)

she RARELY posts in ANY topic...I understand she is new, but that is getting kinda thin as an excuse now (its been what 3+ months now...most employers expect you to be able to do you job in that amount of time or you get the ax).

anyways this thread is about lag....not how we feel about regina the invisible cr.


lag is ok today.

I did experience this lag when doing the bonus of Sanctum Cay HM. My worst was 21k ping. I was D/Cing nonstop but luckily I never lost my place and was able to reconnect everytime (whoo-hoo ;\) only to d/c again and reconnect again and again and again until I was finally able to at least move a step again only to lag horribly but I still managed the bonus.

I get lag every now and then where I run past the same place several times, or I find myself teleported back to a bit I walked past 1 minute before, luckily it's never happened during a quest or mission, but I can imagine it being a royal pain if it did

Yeah, I wish it would stop lagging so you could give me my 65k.

So what, after a day of the servers being normal again there's absolutely no news from aNet whatsoever on the lag? Not that I was expecting any, but still... a single "We're sorry" would suffice. At the very least, it would show aNet noticed the problem at all.

Asking the support will grant you with the usual answer that there is a problem with the connection between two sets of servers in America and Germany and it is the providers fault. Again.

On Friday and Saturday, there were network problems between the data centers in LA and Germany. We were not doing any scheduled maintenance on our game servers.

that was taken from Reg's discussion page on wiki. Just in case you were curious about some of the details on the lag issue.

OF COURSE problem was on their side. It's impossible that few hundreds or thousands of players got a problem on the same time, same moment and... you probably don't even know how mAT's were looking like ;d

I sent a ticket in and of course I have to follow the test your computer and post a NetworkDiag.log . Curses I ran it yesturday and should have sent the log on Sunday.

I have 007 and have load stall issues. All Started on Sunday (Saturday slow and laggy but PVE was playable and no 007) Got past the Character load screen only twice all day.

From the 50k pings I was getting this would be an upgrade for me

uhm, I DONT live in Europe and I had HORRIBLE lag spikes, and WHY doesnt ms invisible post here about these things???????? We arent good enough for her???

sorry having to read anything posted from another site that is NOT a forum like a wiki page like that makes me so angry (need a few anger management classes I feel).
however, we are no closer to finding out anything, and no one is willing to post HERE what was going on this weekend.
(I think I can say that anet can kiss any more $ from me bye-bye)....

The person in charge of our servers is currently meeting with the technical departments involved and will give me an update on this situation as soon as those meetings are over and he has had time to compose a report. I'll update this thread when I have more information.

You have no idea how networks operate do you? There isn't only "Their side" and "your side", there are many, many gates in between. That doesn't mean they shouldnt do anything.

Well, it's not like the players got their routers fromm $0.99 stores. It certainly wasn't the player's fault.
