Only lag I've gotten recently was last night, which I know was on my end (storms making the power flicker and thus resetting the modem).

Yeah, last night was horrible. I froze up a few times in the middle of a FA, so finally, it just booted me off. No error message at all. I come back and I have the dishonorable hex...

Just a thought. Have they shut down servers in GW to make more Aion servers??? Hmmmm

Been getting horrendous lag then disconnects yesterday and today. Very unusual for my connection. Err 7's every few minutes. Hard to play this way. I see others reporting similar issues. Regina said they had 'a few people' affected when they did a live update on Thursday. I think more than a few and ongoing.

Bad ping starts at around 100ms, if you care about your performance. Anything above 300 makes the game pointless. Four/five/six-figure lag spikes aren't even worth discussing.

I've never had lag problems like this before. Oh sure, I've had the (very) occasional err7 but since this last update, and Regina's explanations notwithstanding, the game has been basically unplayable for me since the update. Switching servers doesn't help, I go from a green ping indicator to err7 in seconds. reconnect is useless...never works. So far in the past few days I figure I've totally wasted over 5 hours of effort. I'm not playing anymore until this BS is fixed, and if it ain't fixed soon I'm going to seriously start looking for another way to spend my time. That's a damn shame considering how many thousand hours I have in this game.

WAKE UP ANet!! A 4-year old game is issue enough...a 4-year old game with lag issues like this is OVER!

Yep, trying to farm essences, lag kills a farmer. Trying to do Zmissions, lag out or err7 once you reach the boss or a ways into the mission. The lags are hefty and pretty annoying for sure.

Yep, my connections usually have better pings than the last few weeks or so.

I am getting 004's often enough, about 2-3 times a week and lots of red pings in between.

I got some green tonight though

I had horrible lag spikes for two days that DCed me virtually ever match, then my FPS dropped like a tank so I reinstalled, now neither are around. Give it a shot.

Hooray for 007s twice in Arbor Bay VQ! Once at the beginning that wasn't too bad and once after about 300 foes including Flannus!

So many teams I played with pvp are getting some serious spikes and it's worse off when you include NPC's into the mix not being affected.

Also having lag issues here. Frequently getting err7s seconds after loading. The game is pretty much unplayable at the moment.

Nope, it's nowones connection.

Ive been getting this lagg for months since the 4th anniversary update i guess. (maybe before that?) And i /agree with the fact that contacting support gets you nowhere, this is on ANet's end.

Normally when i first log on (when not many people are on i guess?) i get ok pings. Then about 30 mins-1 hour of gameplay, the vicious laggspikes occur. Id be lucky to get a green ping.
Been going on for aaages, just hope something can be done about it :/

(also contacted ISP, my connection is fine, followed a few steps, but still the lagg persists)

:/..

It's improved a little, i'll give Anet that, but people are still getting dc'ed and lagging out more often than they should since the update.

Trying to infuse rspike with 350ping is bullcrap

ended up having to run teaseway with norgu >.<

I did have some insane lag and at least 2-3 err7's a day a couple of weeks ago. Then I changed to European districts (from American) and haven't had any lag issues since. I'm in the US east coast.

This has to be a recent issue because before this year, I had maybe 2 err7's (not including accidental unplugging of my router ).

Ya it is getting quite ridiculous. I have never dc'ed until yesterday. Since then four times. Lag has been horrible. We did Urgoz hm tonight and 2 people permanently dc'ed, 2 others temporarily dc'ed and everyone else had horrible lag. Very unfun.

Lagging in HA everywhere, out of the 4 games we didn't lag out once...at that was against nWa...

The only team we beat was rtl and that was b/c the earthshaker k/d 4 of them while i(infuse) was lagging out.

Couldn't deal with the lag spikes, logged off. Hopefully it clears up. I'll probably try again later.

I'm not getting the ping spikes per say, but I am getting err 7'd out of towns and missions about a 5-7 times per hour.

It's kind of funny at this point... I think I'm losing my mind though.

Getting bad lag costed us 2 GvGs, froze monks in crucial times. Moved on to some 'awesome' guild group FoW and lag errored out 2 of our members in it and we basically couldn't continue.
Been a bad few days in GW for me anyway, no reward points from predictions, GvG zaishen quests didn't update, lag, lag, lag, etc. I stopped reporting lag issues to support when the responses I get back are suggesting it's my end that's the problem when guildies get it, alliance members get it, people in the North America, Europe, Austraila continents get it.

The lag is pretty bad. me and my guild are trying to learn HA/GvG. Sucks when the lag/really bad ping means you fail to interrupt ward of melee repeatedly. Yes, we expect to lose anyway. But we at least want a fighting chance of getting better!

17k then 30k ping then 15k ping before it settled, not long after logging in. It"s never been this bad this frequently before.

Close btw... there are a million QQ Lag threads already... though I agree, it is pretty terrible when you can't even load into the map in the first place.
