Is there anyone who can forward this to someone in Anet who can do something?
There's obviously a regional issue.

The ISP insists they get good pings and they don't have an issue.

Keep complaining to the ISP or submit a support ticket on NCsoft's site.

constantly ping fluctuations between 100 and OVER 9000!!!!!!!

and no, it's not my computer nor my ISP. gets the same results at home on my desktop, as well as at school (on a T3 connection) on my laptop.

so yeah, the game is basically unplayable.

i did notice a little lag last night but i was still able to complete HoD, DD and ATFH without anything too bad. I thought it was just some of my backround progs and temp files making the lag..

but yes i do notice once in a while there will be a game-wide lagspike where everyone im my Alliance experiences it. other than that im not getting anything that bad, totally playable. i have DSL 7mb thru Qwest.

Been getting pings from as low as 180 (rare) to up to 40k pretty much constantly for the past couple fo days and it is making the game very difficult to play. There are some issues with my ISP (Demon) being a little slow on the pinging but they are consistently bad, and other games like COD4 mirror this where the servers are consistently 100 or so ms above normal.

It would appear GW is failing. :/ Halp?

I think it's my ISP but some of my pings have been bad. I'll start running and the game will hic cuplikeit was forzen for a second and then respond. One time was so awful it was like I was trying to play CRYSIS at max settings. I kid you not. It said only 300-400 but it was like 6 seconds before, even the audio! That was the first time I had to bail out of PvP, it was literally unplayable. But now it seems okay. Very sporadic. For now I'll think it's my side thought I do wish I could have a ping like 100.

I've already posted this elsewhere, but if it helps - Kent, UK to European server, lagged and crashed out yesterday to get an error 005 and had to alter my router, average ping 5000.

Bit better today but my average ping is still over 250.

Seems like its almost exclusively the UK having extreme lag problems at the moment then. Not fun at all.

Certainly everybody on BT Internet services is suffering - we couldn't get on at all for most of yesterday.

No problems on VM here - if its BT related maybe it's the great hole of Ilford?

Still getting problems connecting to the game here and it is really, really frustrating.

Especially since it was working fine this morning and late last night. It seems to have picked up a pattern of having a terrible connection in the middle of the day where the game is completely unplayable, i.e. the game gets stuck on the loading screens. Wheras mornings and to a lesser extent evenings there are very few lag spikes and it runs fine.

Constant 007 errors currently.

No problems connecting or getting kicked, but its day 3 for Crazy Lag Spikes.
My usual 80-120ms Green ping has been subject to Rubberbanding, and Red Dot Spikes up to 35k ping. This was noticable the day before the April Update, and i actually thought it had something to do with the update.
The lag spike hits like every 3-4 min..maby anet is doing something in preperation of the big update were getting for easter?
I know this isnt on my end, and the constant "#$%@ ping" in alliance chat proves that something is very different the past 3 days.

Same issues for me...good one night terrible the next, lagg spikes, rubber banding all over the place, freezing up in the middle of a big fight for like 20 seconds and boom my party is wiped. Was so bad last night I couldnt even get my permabomber to maintain shadow form to get her to the keg bomb location, lag killed till i was at 60% and was warped back to siffala I gave up. This sucks!!

Terrible lag spikes. It's isn't my computer and it's not my internet connection. I'll just be playing with 100ms ping, and then bam! 15k+ ping and disconnect. Which is terrible because it's my only day off of school and work and I can't play.

I have been having horrible pings like Wrath and XG have experienced. I noticed it since last weekend, or after the apr 1 update as well. It shows very wacky rubberbanding on outposts and battlefield, I move and then sends me back several times, high pings 20k+. Usually it doesnt dc me though, but trying to map last night was hell, kept going around map and corners back and forth and into enemies.

I am East Coast on the US, dont know if is a region thing now or what. Not everyone I play with experiences it, seems like only I complained about it yesterday and my guildies were fine. I did connection tests on the net and speeds are fast and low pings, so not sure how related the results are.

Regional thing or Server thing.
The weird thing is some people know what im talking about (LAG) in game, and others say everything is fine, why do some players get it, and others are completly fine?
Is it the server were playing on?

EDIT
If everyone could update their "Location" might help troubleshoot this.
Seems like it isnt just east coast.

I'm East Coast USA - GMT-4. Constant bad lag spikes since yesterday. (Have been getting spikes off and on for over a week.)

1, Finished CoF yesterday (Thursday) morning and was mapping back to Doomlore, when - blam- bad lag and no quest completion recorded.

2. Last night (Thursday) - constant lag spikes while playing game. Was unable to do anything difficult due to inability to keep fighting/moving.

3. This morning (Friday) - less lag, but suddenly disconnected with #0058 error message. Couldn't get back into game for 15 mins.

Been laggy for a while now, constant spikes, but getting worse again. Had a lot of freezing and a disconnect tonight. Average is about 500ms with regular spikes of around 1-2k every 1-2 minutes or so.
Had both my ISP check the connection and had the physical line checked, both say nothing is wrong. Everything else I try is working fine with an average ping around 60-70.

Location is England.

I have the occasional annoying lag spike.
usually it stays around 500-700 range, which makes the game run fluidly and works great.
But whenever I Ab or Jq, I get major lag spikes. Several disconnect me, or I play so choppy that it it barely worth playing at all.
It reaches 2k at this point.

i live in New England, and it isn't my internet connection because I have checked that and it is fine.

I'm sick of lag

The last...three or four days or so, I've had a few random lag spikes. Usually I'm around 100-400ms on average, and then it'll just stop, shoot up to about 15-25k, rubberband me all over, and then go back to normal. No disconnections or anything, just the sudden spikes. I'd say it's happened about 8 times since the first time it happened?

I live in the US (Illinois) and use Comcast cable broadband. Not been noticing any drop in internet speeds on anything else, just this.

Going to post my problem here, maybe someone can help me out because that's what i'm looking for.

I'm currently having lag issues that have seem to arise over night, i've been lagging for about a week now and i would very much like it to stop so i can play GW.The lag popped out of nowhere, no new programs, nothing visible that i can put a finger on that caused it.As i said it's been going for about a week now, i'm not disconnecting but every like few mins my ping will skyrocket and rubberband me leaving my character unable to move/act..needless to say this is hindering my pvp preformance as well as just basically trying to play the game.My computer is a Dell inspiron 1525 laptop..and before this week it ran GW smoother than a river rock for a year.
The same problem happened to me when i used to play GW on my desktop, lag was so bad i couldn't do anything, i could never use the desktop for GW again and i'm hoping it isn't going to be the same situation for my laptop.The internet connection is an incrypted wifi signal from my kitchen computer, and before this week had no problems whatsoever. >>ANY HELP<< would be appreciated. plz pm me in game IGN:Lo The Fallen Angel...if you can help? Oh and also, i'm experiencing some slowness in my internet minor slow loading that is slightly less then it was like 4-5 days ago like mentioned above.

Also been having bad lag for the past week or so. Highest I have seen it so far is 21,000ms, but seems to average around 10,000ms. Support reckon it's a problem with the routing from my ISP to the servers so hopefully it will improve soon.

Haven't been playing Guild Wars for a while, but I got an urge to start playing again last week and now can't with this lag .

The game has become unplayable for me since I started playing again. My ping jumps from 188ms to 3,000ms, to 1,000ms to 25,000ms. Rubber band everywhere I go, skills don't activate, etc...

No problems with other games, websites load quickly, and download speeds are great.

I've defragged my gw.dat, deactivated anti-virus/spyware software, opened ports, allowed GW through my firewall, etc...

Traceroutes seem to hang up at the same place everytime, at which point they time out. It's likely my ISP who is also my cable TV and telephone provider, but I'm not going to switch all of that for 1 game, especially when the only alternative in my area has worse performance in every other aspect.

It sucks.

Game for me had been fine up until around 3-4 days ago. Now I cannot play more than 5-30 mins at a time before I get what looks like a lockup at first but soon after a notice pops up saying I timed out.

I click to reconnect (which is like playing Russian Roulette), it either reconnects or gives me 007 error.

Not sure what they did, but whatever it is it is only affecting me on this game alone. I still play other MMO's online with no issues like this as well as many FPS/Multiplayer games.

Cannot count how many times I tried to do Heart of the Shiverpeak only to get DC'd at the worm at level 3 everytime :S. I put in a support ticket as my frustration level is already beyond belief. Just want to work on getting the storyline for EotN finished.

Nearly identical situation for me. Only manage a few minutes before lag spikes begin, then freeze and d/c. My internet works just fine, and I contacted my ISP and they say everyting is fine on their end, and they cleared any errors as well.

For about five days I've been experiencing continuous lagspikes. I initially thought it was due to the 4th anniversary event but the problem is persisting. The game has been almost unplayable today. Rather than the usual <250ms latency I experience with my ISP, I have 350-800ms at nearly all times, and spikes of 2k or more happen every coupe of minutes, usually. Rubberbanding all over the place.

I'm in England and it seems that every European member of my guild I've spoken to about this is experiencing similar problems, but no one outside of Europe has reported any difficulties today, at least.

I've been through a few PC's recently (no I didn't get new ones BECAUSE of this) and every time I've been getting frequent lag spikes while playing this game only; all of my other games (Team Fortress, Counter-Strike, etc.) all run smoothly, no lag, at about 100+ FPS. Every 10+ seconds or everything just slows to a stop then kicks up again about 5 seconds or so later and I'm averaging like 800-1K ping because of it. So... if anyone would be able to help me that'd be great. I have an alienware pc, 3 GHz, and an nvidia 9800 GT card.
