Lags really bad right now in FA. No point for me to even attempt to play it. Although I'm unwilling to give up so easily when I need 9 freaking wins to pass the zq.

I play from Iraq while I'm here and obviously the US the rest of the time. Usually during certain times of day I can get away with solo'ing aroundd and managing a 5-700 ping just fine.
Now...during the deadest of dead hours while everyone is at work or even around 3-4 in the AM when I could usually get the best ping....I'm jumping from 900's up to the 6,000+ area with the occasional 5 digit spike.
I would say that I guess I'm gonna just stack up zkeys with XTH predictions for the rest of my tour but even that isn't looking like a possibility with the way things are going now.

Since tonight's update, we've been getting bad lag and DCs (people on vent with us, not puggy rage) in HA int. Hearing reports from people in American Districts in PvE about it being especially bad too. Not unheard of bad, but bad none the less.
Jarus
Yeah, bad lag recently. Mostly, the past couple of weeks.
Moonstalker
Lots of spikes and terrible lag. Constant DC's is common, too. Today's patch didn't help, either.
Ultimate Flash
It's been progressively worse within the last 2 weeks for me. Trying to farm Norn points for my armor has been getting frustrating lately. I'm in Drakkar Lake with my Rit clearing it out and within that time I experienced 6 lag spikes and 3 disconnect and reconnect, all within a 2 hour period.
What the hell is going on Anet? I think a portion of the 40 bucks I forked over for the storage increase should be put into some new hardware and more bandwidth on your servers.
If these lag spikes and disconnects continue my recent purchase will be the last of my hard earned cash in your pocket.

seems like lag problems were fixed or something

Terrible lag for me with err7 disconnects galore today. Changing servers doesn't help. Here's the weird thing.....I cannot ping or traceroute to the PlayNC servers. I can do so just fine to other Internet sites, but all pings to the server identified in my game client fail, and traces die after about 6 hops out on the net. DNS issue?? Or am i missing some other possibilities?

It seems the ping times are degrading over the past 2-3 weeks, and you get occasional lag spikes.
Veeery bad if you are on a PB Mesmer during GvG

First off, mods can move this where it's needed, I couldn't decide.
So, I was running a group, and after some time, we made it to the second zone, and I spiked, and my entire party left, reply, "what happend". So, I took a screenshot. I made it so you cannot see any of my personal specs, I'm just mean like that lol. As you can see, the group but ME is grayed out, and the chat log emplies the 5 others left the team, because of a d/c issue. I have no idea why it happend. My internet was working fine before, but it just.....kicked them, in mid-run. Here's the pic:

Where was you running?
And yeah that is crazy. Lol, one time I was farming UW and I was running from the aatxe, got lag spike, then shortly after that, dead.

Maybe it was just something like this:
Ele: Guys... He's not moving, think he went AFK?
Ranger: He better not have or I'm not paying him for this run.
Monk: Maybe he's just lagging, give him a minute or two.
Sin: Forget that! He took long enough just to get this far, I'm out.
Sin has left the game.
Ranger has left the game.
Ele has left the game.
Monk has left the game.

If a guy gets disconnected than there's a message that says so, same goes for leaving. They didn't get disconnected, they ditched you.

This is getting rather annoying.
I'll have 125 ping and be playing fine, and then all of a sudden I start missing interrupts and I find out that my ping has just gone up to 391 (that's the highest it's gone to). It then stays there for maybe 20 seconds to a minute before coming back down. Wtf is up with this?
I have 80 and 6112 open and nothing else running. I don't know what exactly is causing this problem.

welcome to guildwars, where the ping gem only updates once every 30 seconds or so, which almost makes it completely useless.
with that said, the ping fluctuations are more or less normal now. i have the same thing, except mine jumps between 92 and 20000.

Elder III
if 391 is the highest your ping has gone then you are better of than most and have nothing to complain about... it's still plenty playable for you at least... 
Brett Kuntz
Ping has always fluctuated with GW, anyone who says otherwise is lying or ignorant!
Darth The Xx
I live in NZ so my internet isn't the fastest. my average ping is 400-500 so 391 being the highest seems very appealing to me 
. Anyways it seems to have been like this since the update, I have been in a few RA/TA games where both sides have lagged up, even had one where all 7 other players DCd except me.
Also been having some other weird stuff happening with lag that has never happened with me before random massive spikes, spells going off before the animation (this one is really off-putting) never had anything like this happen before the update, so I would assume that you are not an isolated case.
P.S most of my friend's list has been having issues with random lag since the update as well.

Hi guys, I wasn't really sure where to put this thread, but I really need some help. I have tried almost everything to get rid of lag.
Got Game booster (turns off all unused processes)
Defragmented (With Power Defragmenter and Contig)
My RAM is 3 gigabites
My graphics card is great (I forgot where to find the actual name of it, but I know thats not the problem)
If it helps my processor is AMD Turion (tm) 64 X2 TL-60 2.00 Ghz
I've lowered my graphics settings
Cleaned out useless programs on my laptop (got rid of about 10 gigabites)
I have DSL and if thats the problem thats not really good because I can't change that I dont think thats the problem though, but maybe I'm wrong. Oh and it's not just Guild Wars, its Combat Arms and 9Dragons and a ton of other games. Can anyone help?
Oh and if it helps, I ran it this morning and it worked fine for 10 minutes, but after that it lagged again.

Clean out the computer itself? Solved a unexplainable lag problem for me last year.

*NOTE* Do not do any of the following if you have no idea what you are doing with a laptop's internals or if care about possibly voiding your warranty since there can be issues with removing components and not being able to reinstall them correctly. *NOTE*
However, if you know what you are doing already with removing a couple casing pieces then go ahead and do that, then use a dust remover (I prefer spray type) to clean it out... don't wipe it out with your hands since that can cause electrical problems and can actually move/brake/damage in some way a component or clip.
If you haven't ever taken some of the covers off of your laptop, search around the support pages for your laptop, if you can't find it from your manufacturer then try googling your laptop's model# for disassembling instructions. Use these to find out what to remove in what order and how.
Be sure that you know how you take stuff off and which order you took it off in... you need to put it back in the exact opposite way of course or else it may not go back perfectly.
I would also make sure to run a good anti-spyware/malware program along with a complete anti-virus scan... You didn't mention that you had done this but I have had this fix horrible lag issues multiple times in the past (in fact I did that this past week in order to fix wireless disconnect issues on my home computer).

Have you thought about your modem?
Have you thought to contact your ISP? and have them run some line tests?
See if you are actually getting the speeds that you are supposed to be getting. My dsl was fine for a month, then starting going nuts. So far, its been the modem.

Anyone else having insane lag and a low fps since the start of the event
IronSheik
None at all, specs?
vamp08
I am, its so bad I'm actually thinking of not logging on till early tomarrow morning. And dont worry, my specs are well above and beyond what guild wars uses.
Braxton619
The only place i'm lagging is Raptors. The lag at raptors is so bad that you can't even farm them.
However, snow arena is no-lag.

i was good last night but since the winters day started just horrible and arnt their decorations?

FPS (Frames Per Second) Has nothing to do with the servers, your FPS depends on how powerful your system is to render GW and the graphics that are in GW.
Lagging or Rubberbanding is always a connection issue, could be their servers getting packed.

No lag at all atm, was lagging for 10 mins when I logged on about 2 hours ago, other than that everything is fine and dandy

The lag was horrible around the rata sum area. I was doing quests down in that area, trying to run myself to Tarnished Haven. It is pretty much impossible to do it, the constant lag rubber banded me all over the place.
Thadius Invictus
I have been getting lag all week. The kind that snaps you back to somewhere you haven't been for about 8 seconds? The kind that has your health bar dropping but there is nothing touching you and BAM!! your in the middle of the pack of baddies you past about 10 seconds ago? Yeah I have that kind; a lot of that kind.
It is odd because I haven't had bad lag since about mid 2006.

Yeah the lag around Rata Sum was insane....even in foreign and international districts. It seems to have tapered off now, to the point where it's actually possible to farm them :P

Actually no it's the opposite of that, your fps can effect your connection to a server.
