Today I've been getting lag of up to 55 seconds. I ran a full equipment test, everything on my end checks out ok. Is this an isolated case or is anyone else experiencing it?

My ping stays in the 109-400 range with the occasional 10,000+ lag spike. Its weird how in my other online games I enjoy a average 30-90ms ping... When I change to GW from another game the terrible response scares me

Been like this since 2 months :/ One of the reasons I no longer play - I can't, when I get lag spikes regardless of time or district.

you realize there isn't a building somewhere that houses all the servers for every game that is being played online right? Also, a 400ms ping isn't bad unless you are monking in a tough spot or interrupting.

I was trying to illustrate my point that its not my connection that sucks, its anet or something between me and anet. My ISP has never failed me and isn't failing me for other games so why would GW get terribaed ping all the time? Keep in mind I used to get constant under 100ms while playing GW and now suddenly my character basically lags all over half the time.

I used to play ranger a lot, I still do but there it no way I am reflexing a 3/4sec cast.

Canada, almost got to see a polar bear... :P

It crushed my soul when I almost lost my survivor today cause of it.

Well, okay, not a big deal, but prevented me from playing till the lag settled down.

Is it only me that thinks the powers that be (Whoever runs the show) use the LIVE servers to test the New Builds ,ie unplug a couple to test before releasing.

I haven't had much lag today, but I have noticed a lot of teammates/friends getting d'cd and complaining of lag. Guess I got lucky this time >_>

I have a screenshot of 89000 ping while doing DoA...I disconnected like 3 times during the run too..so I'd say yes.

Sadly, this is a normal occurrence with GW for me. I play Left4Dead all day and I never have lag in that game..only GW... >.>

This is just nasty.

Got a huge lag between 250-400 with spikes up to 1000s...

This is just too much

Have lost in the Jade Quarry cuz of lag spike (we were ahead by 3).
Now unable to finish vanqing Cantha cuz of the high lag-spikes...

As it seems that it's a global problem in the past few days - isn't ANet or the peeps from GWs going to say something (so that we at least know that they are working/trying to fix this).

It doesn't matter. All they will say is that it isn't their fault/problem, and to send them a report. All you can do is deal with it.
