Keep getting err7 and rubberbanding everywhere with massive pings. Affecting the people I play with as well so much that we have 4 people disconnect at the same time in GvG.

At first it was only the british players but now its affecting people from europe. Anyone else having problems?

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

I'm suffering it too as well as others in my guild. I can't do anything without disconnecting after a few mins.

It's uncommon for me. Is it a routing problem, Anet?

I've been disconnecting alot in the game recently. It's not rubberbanding though, it's where the whole screen stops moving and a while later it logs me out informing me that it was a connection issue.

The only real problem is that in PvP matches the game waits until after the countdown to let me try to restore the connection.

I hypothesise it's something to do with an upcoming update....last time I had lag and dc's this much was just before the first quarterly update (the one with the menagerie, etc).

If Makosi is having connection problems, it's not on the user end of things; either regional issues or ANet issues I imagine.

It's my fault - ANet does this everytime I get close to getting Leg Survivor. 100k away and bingo, red pings and d/c's a-plenty.

So sorry

(Yes I am getting the same issue atm)

I am in the UK and have been suffering with evil lag for a few days, I am with Virgin Media though, so could just be their throttling at the times I play.

Yeah lag and dc from UK for me too. Maybe a main router on the way to Anet servers? Could also be Virgin's traffic management.

In the UK here and have had a lot of lag this evening. D/Ced 7 times during Vizunah Square (but fortunately was able to reconnect). Other UK guildies were also getting hit with lag d/cs this evening and during the same mission.

It's ANet blowing their own servers up so they have to spend all their GW2 cash on fixing it so they don't have to announce that there is in fact nothing to tell us about GW2.

I usually have major lag issue, but I've been getting pretty good ping with the occassional rubberband effect and fast map loading time and non-lag in AB/RA even during the double weekend since Regina announce maintainance twice. so I guess its better then before.

i've read that the recent lag has been due to GW2, they have taken GW off the original server and put it on "Steam".. so they can run GW2 on their server with no lag... therefore we are left with "Steam's" server which cant cope with the size of GW.

It does not matter where he read it, or even if it is true or not. What matters is that he has said it and that people will translate it as; "Anet stopped caring about GW1", which they will then translate again as "Anet fails". They'll assume that it must be true and use it as a mantra for the whole thread, or any other future thread regarding lag.

Major lag here as well. Thought it was my connection to Guild Wars, but seeing as everyone is having it as well, can't be on my end. :P

I can chat on vent, MSN, and even browse the internet just fine. But only when I play GW do I get massive lag and DC's. Anywhere from 17k-25k pings and a ton of freezes. Played WoW for a bit the other day (realized why I hated it), but didn't have any lag whatsoever.

So either it's my connection to Guild Wars only, or it's something server side.

listen its not our connection to the servers.. its that the new gw servers they are running the game on can't cope with the amount of players playing and therefore produces lag.

You still haven't quoted your source for that information.

Lag has sort of cleared up here in the UK.

Some of the international servers were merged to the american/european and that adds more then it's fair share to the workload. The only real way to settle this is either some real fancy software for handling the packets coming thru or reopen those servers.
