so my internet is perfectly fine with the fact of connection but in GW, i keep getting connection issues, such as my characters stop moving and enemies stop attacking for seconds.

Something is severely wrong. I think it is a routing service to GW, not sure it is GW itself this time.

been happening all day, lag spikes about a minute apart. EVERYTHING else I access on the internet is fine except GW, but its still not their servers lol.

dunno but it's pissing me off. Making it pretty hard to chest run. I've had pingplotter running and I don't see any problem the whole route, and considering that it's happening to everyone in my guild at the same time, even though we're all doing different things in different parts of gw, makes me think it's the gw servers.

Today is the monthly, therefore there's always lagouts/disconnects.

Things have been a bit funking this morning for me too. Did my normal optimizing, to no avail. I was still able to play around it some, but it has been a long time since the Skales outside presear Fort Ranik has killed my level 9 necro. Today, they got their "feather of victory."

my connection has been bad since that 'maintenance' a while back...now I get rubberbanding, lagg etc all with a green light! (used to always be when orange or red happened ....now its anytime).

hope they look into this since I highly doubt that soo many people from soo many different places could ALL have the same thing wrong at the same time....tooooooo much of a coincidence for me.

the lag starts right when the gvg monthly tournaments starts

what a ridiculous company

can't even maintain their own servers

let alone have ANYONE AT ALL online to even know that their servers are lagging during a monthly tournament


what a terrible company

I hope GW2 bankrupts them if this is how they treat their customers.

I removed the "-fps" and "-heapsize" command lines, as well as the KSMOD and now I don't seem to be getting lagspikes. Not sure which of those three things did it. I've used all three for weeks without spikes. Just got really bad today.

Rolling on floor laughing.

Yea I've been having lag spikes every ~30 seconds today with a great connection and the same thing happened with my alliance (more then 600 players), weird thing is, that today it reached a devastating level, I had some weird connection problems the past days which mostly had nothing to do with my own connection, but today this went below the playable level :P

I hope they'll ix it soon, the game is unplayable when you lag spike 2-3 times a minute...

Same. Good to know I'm not the only one, I thought I was going mad, didn't think it was actually possible to have green light lag but I do!

It's gotten to the point where the ping display is lagging. It's only -after- the lag has passed that I see the ping spiking from 200-280 all the way up to 12k and 15k, and the FPS dropping down to 2.

does anyone from NCSoft analyze the issue? it seems that lag appears after recent update. I can't even do any PvE mission, very strange.

Game crashed entirely (froze up on loading menu) when I tried to log into GToB-Am to get more reference shots of a commish pose. Tried again, finally got in, but supremely laggy. Laggy even in Yak's Bend.

This on a previously fine FiOS, with the game lag-free for the past few weeks (and it's only frozen up on me about 4 times in my memory of play).
