How many of you have contacted support directly with your lag issues? My lag has been resolved, once again with the help of support. It took several days, lots of emails, try this, try that, etc. Now I can play in America again.

or in other words, they kept you busy, chasing phantoms, until the problem went away by itself. yeah, that's a very common tactic. i'd personally skip the calls though.

Actually, through the process of elimination, we found my recently updated anti-virus program did not like GW.

Many of us have, too many people with this issue can't be a co-insidence, you probably just had a different issue to the rest of us, support just rebukes me every time, saying it's 'most likely' my ISP, when infact everything is fine with my ISP. Tryed switching to modem last night, still exactly the same problems.

ANet say they can't find anything wrong at their end, i say delve deeper.

Lol, everyone suddenly experiencing lag after an event starts probably has to do with all those people's ISP, yes . Can't be anything on GW's side, can it?

This thread started a month ago. And it was at about that same time or just after that I had updated my anti-virus from ver. 7.5 to 8.5. I didn't associate the increase in lag with the update, because it was not "all of sudden, I couldn't play". But removal of the program had immediate effects. Instead of rubberbanding across town, red dots & pings in the 10's of k's, I have a green dot, avg ping less than 200. We cleared it up just a few hours before the weekend event, and I still have no lag because of the event.

But I am not going to argue with anyone about who's at fault. Like my ISP said, "Nobody wants to admit their system has a problem." That includes you, your ISP, Anet's ISP, or any of those little stops in between.

I hope your "finger pointing" gets rid of your lag problems.

Well if Arenanet would stop testing while we are playing we wouldn't have that much lag. :P

I get lag problems all the time since Christmas, after a couple of months of a ping between 64ms and 15k at a moment's notice I contacted support and told them it had been going on for a few months. They helpfully suggested that these problems go away usually after a couple of days and that I should wait.

So after those few days, during which it miraculously hadn't cleared itself, they ran a few tests and told me in no uncertain terms that it wasn't anything to do with them and most certainly it is either my ISP or my line. My ISP disagrees and the company supplying my line disagrees.

Now, obviously I am in no position to say who is actually at fault, what I can say is that my ping at the raptors is currently constantly over 1k and elsewhere in the game it fluctuates between 63ms and about 2k. Oddly enough this only occurs during events where people are farming items, any other time and the ping in the raptor cave is usually about 120-300ms.

One can only assume then that the majority of England's GW players use my Internet connection to connect to GW.

Since event started I've been getting horrible 5 digit ping spikes. I'll d/c every now and then and I won't be able to reconnect for like...5 mins or so. What gives?

Ah yes, i also forgot to mention my lagg started shortly after then.

It's the worst in busy outposts, i can get away with it in less busy outposts.

You can try reseting your modem until you get the best possible latency. Different IP makes a difference in your latency. Simple things to do to reduce lag or the slow down of your internet connection:
1) scan for viruses
2) stop anything that connects to the internet (Instant messenger, AIM, youtube)

I was frozen in a HvH yesterday. This is starting to piss me off. Btw, my internet is fine, my modem is fine, and I just tried playing another online game and it's running fine. It's on GW's end, not mine (oh and I'd only been playing for 10 minutes).

On a side note, watching half the people disappear out of Kama ad3 was funny earlier.

I'm having the same thing, but I suggest you comment on the 2-3 other threads already about lag. I'm sure this one will get closed.

I'm also dcing multiple times, err 7's, but my internet is just fine, in the last hour. I can't even set up my heroes I'm not even gonna try to go out and do something.

Edit: It had improved over the last few weeks with a few hiccups here and there, but today is significant.

Pretty much very minimal lag and/or disconnects in 4 years; now, I've had many freeze ups and 8 dc's in the last hour alone and countless in about the last month or so.

It's really become a royal pain (for me) and coincided when they switched Korean accounts to the American servers...

Thanks! Whatever it was between 1-2 pm CST (at least for me) seems to have cleared for now. No lag, etc. in the last hour. *knocks on wood*

Game is not playable in PvP with all this lag.
Hope Anet fixes it fast so I can play some more AB.

I'm not boasting here but I'm just getting usual lag and no one else in my guild or alliance is getting feezes or d/c's. I've seen people complaining about it lots in JQ Local though, but then again, they complain about anything there.

Day before yesterday, I was hit by a lag spike so hard that my game essentially froze. Every few seconds, it would thaw just enough a drop would show in the chat log, but the actual screen didn't reflect it. Pings were astronomically high. Then it cleared (after about two-three minutes?) and the game ran perfectly fine.

I've been using the International districts lately for less lag. The American servers must be smoking, they're so busy (and ludicrously laggy!). Seems like we have lag creep now seeping into International, though.

Hanging out in presear Fort Ranik, couple nights ago, watching people vanish in groups, then complain about dc's when they return. For once, I am not having to deal with major spikes as I had in the past.

Played AB all weekend with only 1 match with any lag at all. Is there any thing in common with those who are having problems?
