is anyone getting 50k lag spikes in between loading maps to another area?
any tech experts here know whats going on?
i have 1 mb connection and nothing is running on my background.
sometimes it cant even load, and gives me code:005 and code:007 error which is a networking issue.
it seems like its having trouble connecting to another server when loading a map, because it stays at 0% loaded for a long time...
is it anet's server or my routing issues?
i havent changed any of my router settings or internet settings.

I was getting disconnected every time I tried to salvage something. Something is up.

Ever since i got eotn a few days ago, i have been getting extreme lag.Could this be the start of the RoJ nerf?
Malla13
Yeah, lag has been horrible in the last few days. I think it's something with the servers. Try resetting your connection and running out of a different district or country. It helps me a little, or at least lengthens the time between spikes. :\

everyone complains and complains. i play gw with torrents in the background and i dont limit my download speed, and my upload limit is usually at 500 kb/sec, and depending on how much im downloading the dl speed passes 1.5 megabytes/sec. While these are downloading, my ping thingy in the bottom right stays green and occasionally flickers to yellow. On top of all that, people complain that the American servers are what gives them hell and those are the ones i always play on unless my uwsc groups insist on switching to some euro district or some dead Asian area

Ya I was recently on the phone with ATT fixing my own internet issues, and when I finally got on GW I couldn't even load into any maps. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Anyone else just sitting on a loading screen at 0% and not getting any errors?

For me, i usually lag when i play on American servers. I should stick to europe when it's rush hour.
Stolen Souls
Oddly, I haven't been getting any lag at all. Usually when there are lag complaints I get the full force of it. xD

wow the lag just skyrocketed iv disconnected 12 times since i last posted.....
ANET to the rescue please?

I occasionally lag out, but most of the time, it takes ages to zone 
The rest of the game is fine, but just zoning =\ Means that a fair few parties wont take me, when they see i dont appear after 3 mins >.<

US servers are giving me heavy lag. EU servers are perfectly fine.

I played Guild Wars in college dorms with a 2mb connection shared between 300 people. Google wasn't able to load, but I was able to play guild wars with pings around 900, theres definitely something up if u can't play on a 1MB connection.
blackamethyst
Yeah, I've had a bunch of huge lag spikes and disconnects/err007 the past few days. Usually happens when an update is forthcoming.
Maybe we can expect something nice soon? Probably not, though. :<

Connection today is absolute crap. Many guildies and allies getting the same. Booo.

It would really help the support and network teams if you could send in a support ticket with as much information as possible (what time did the incident happen? what were you doing at the time? etc.) so that if there is a problem on our side, they can start tracking that data and pinpointing any issues. The more details the better.

Weird, I got an error 7 about an hour ago right as the mission timer went to zero, but I haven't really had any lag lately.
I normally have really terrible lag, but maybe it's my new computer.....

I've been having some lag and packet loss on occasion, but PingPlotter showed that it was coming from my ISP.

Nah, that was me casting Icy Shackles on your IP.

I heard today that lag is bad because anet is running GW2 on the same servers as GW... (in closed beta)

after about 10-15 emails to and from plaync support team, although they seem friendly enough, they dont seem to have a clue why i am lagging so bad these last 3-5 days.
they tried to tell me my graphics card drivers could cause 10k pings and to update them :S
they said that running windowblinds could cause 10k pings and i should uninstall it :S
they said that having 8 items booting up on computer start could cause 10k pings :S
im confident my pc is running sweet, im having no other issues with anything other than hitting 10k pings in guildwars. it really is unplayable

tech support is generally done by office cubicle drones reading off of a script. the hope is to make you chase in circles and hopefully the issue will solve itself. ncsoft support is no different.
and really, unless there's something obviously wrong that you can immediately change on your end, you pretty much just sit tight and hope it goes away on its own. the way internet access is set up in north america (and possibly europe, but i'm not sure), is that web content providers (such as GW) are not customers of ISPs and vice versa, so there's no incentive for either side to resolve networking issues. asking your ISP to find out why connecting to a service is bad will generally result in a "sorry, they are not our customers. go deal with them" reply. same if you contact that service.

For those who are experiencing the problem of getting stuck at loading 0%, taking a very long time to load and getting very bad pings of >2000ms after the long load, I experienced it too shortly after the 4th year anniversary updates were rolled out.
I managed to solve this problem and surprisingly it has nothing to do with your ISP or ANET's servers. The problem lies in the Guild Wars data file.
Rename/delete/move your old gw.dat and get a new copy, preferably from the EoTN install disc and try logging in again. The problem *should* be solved... it worked for me twice.
Yes, you will have to re-download all the updates after that but it did teach me to keep regular backups of the gw.dat file should the problem come back again.
N.B. I have not tried the command switch to repair the data archive... it might work if anyone wants to give it a try
N.B.2. Regina if you see this, could you pass this unusual workaround to the relevant guys so that they can determine the cause and work out a remedy?

Aldo wants more
i'm getting frequent 4-10k lag spikes dc'ing and all the errors previously mentioned. My only thought is it may have something to do with the merging of the servers. I've never had any problems with lag before and it's only just started this last week.
I'm now logging in and monitoring ping for 5 mins to see if it's worthwhile gaming. Nothing worse than vanquishing and then taking a hefty boot to the clackers 1/2 way through.

Lots of problems getting stuck on 0% load when zoning. Also a few 007's and 058's. Filed a support ticket with NCSoft (with a link to this thread), and they've been as helpful as they always are. :|
Edit:
Just got another reply asking me to update Windows, check my system for on overabundance of running processes (there are *very* few), and disable any anti-virus or security software. Very helpful.
@Regina: If you'd like us to file support tickets for an issue that seems to be affecting a lot of players, it'd be nice if we weren't talked-down-to by support. The support rep implied that I was wasting their time because I wasn't interested in following their ridiculous troubleshooting steps. The time wasted was mine - for bothering to file a ticket in the first place.

more lag recently than i've ever seen

Real lags in this game are pretty rare for me, but today I've had them alot. I was loading like 20 seconds on 0% in HA (but no lags while playing, probably because most matchest were on euro servers) and died a couple times on a lagspike while farming essences (this stopped when I switched back to eu districts).
