East Coast USA running on wireless Verizon FiOS, and haven't seen any real issues of yet. I'm getting between 40 and 600 ms ping depending on the time of day, avg is around 200 ms.
My only worry is that I'll have to get my college to add the 64's IP address range to the campus packet shaper, and I don't know whether the lag issues people are complaining of on this thread will be present afterward.
They Moved the Server and it's Horrible

SO, I'm siting in Tahnakai Temple mission, been lagged out for 8 minutes now, me and Bound Kaolai just staring at each other like we're daring each other to make the first move.

For me it's generally ok at the moment. I have fine ping, sometimes even lower than before, especially on european servers. However, playing RA some players just don't load or after few matches they permanetly disconnect. Kinda annoying when you have nice a streak.

My ping is still in the 200-300s but I d/ced randomly while doing today's HM Wanted. First attempt at reconnecting failed, second one took about 10 seconds but I got back into the game at the end.

well from reading this i now understand my normal 200~500 ping is bad.. man, i thought 200~500 was normal :P guess not =.=

Been averaging from 146 to a bit over the 300's ping, though I notice little difference either way. At some point there were short lag spikes, but very short. Playing in this condition isn't really giving me any problems. West coast, by the way.

however bad it is now it'll only be +1 to what it was before.

Like I said, no difference. Skills went off as smoothly as before, and spells went as quick as before.

I don't have a bad time with ping, aside the usual spikes which I can look past, it's the constant errors and disconnects.
It's kind of difficult to get a group going, when you zone and 4 of them disappear.
New servers suuuuuuuuuck.

It appears that the servers are back in Austin, Tx (at least that's what traceroutes to their IP addresses suggest, but I could be wrong). Some years ago I seem to remember them being here as well. Since I'm in Austin, my hop count has gone down by quite a bit (it's around 8 now, was around double that from what I can remember). Too bad my packets still have to go to Dallas before returning to Austin (that's an AT&T routing issue, though, and not under Anet's control).
Pippa
I just got back from an extended vacation (my PC fried and I had to get a new one). Reinstalled the full game today (non-streaming) and my ping is astronomical. The rubber banding is making the game become completely unplayable and I've actually disconnected once.
Hopefully they figure out what the deal is.
I'm from America, usually have a green dot, but today its been orange+.
Edit: Make that two disconnects. Disconnected a second time while I was writing this.

Very, very hard to get a full team for anything because they all vanish. Took like 6 tries to get a full loading team for SoOSC. Guess this is how they're nerfing it.

I'll post some photos of the proof, I have always had a ping below 100 with an occasional spike to 250 but I am getting 2-3k constant now with spikes of 34k+. All info will be included on the website when we get it up and running. We have before and after photos of the server pings before and after this "move". We went through this before with another game company and we need to give them 7 days to respond to the problem. (We got legal advice last time due to threats) Their legal department will send us a letter that we can't post the screenshots on our website due to copyright infringement, at that time we will refuse to take them down and then they will contact the company that hosts the website and threaten them as well, once that happens we will be forced to remove the screenshots but we will keep them as proof of our claims. But the word will get out to the public, through our website as well as the youtube community. We are still collecting screenshots from others in the game in preparation. Outside of that there is nothing we can do about it, we got "hosed" and have to live with it. Our organization believes we have a responsibility to inform the public of dirty corporate greed, and that is what we intend to do. Good luck all, sorry this happened to so many of us, we can only move forward. |
I'm sure you and others are having trouble with your ping, but it seems like just so much histrionics to come out threatening to blow the whole thing open with a website dedicated to this. First, nobody but those already plugged into GW cares. Second, those already plugged into GW will form their own opinions without your help. Third, it's hard to take your issue seriously when you overreact in such a spectacular manner.
I hope you and everyone else having trouble gets your connectivity issues sorted out, but really, cool your jets and get your hubris under control. You're actually not as important as you seem to think you are.
Good luck.

I would of left it down longer but it seems like they are possibly trying to save money by moving it to cheaper server making way to host GW2 on the other one.

Having minor lag problems, but nothing substantial compared to before the move.
I did have huge lag problems a few hours before the server move, but I'm not sure what caused it.

Tonight I had a bit of lag (hard to know whether it was better or worse), but two people in the group complained of bad lag.
We'd all died bar one guy, who kept moving forwards and backwards a little bit for about two minutes, then started running in one direction, disconnected and reconnected. He said he had a ping of over 70,000.

I am from Austria and my ping is fantastic, I have not had a single problem.
Good luck to the guys that have problems and are addressing the difficulties they are having sensibly, I hope the lag you have gets resolved quickly.
But to the drama queens like FinalRebel all I can say is get a grip, it is hardly surprising a few locations experiences some lag a couple of days after the move, it is hardly the end of the world you lunatics.

I was just ERing in HoS and was hit with a... 213,000ms last ping at the boss.
Whats weird is that whilst i couldn't use any of my skills and/or interact with the game, I watched my team finish the dungeon, and my guild chat updating (and it was real time as I checked on msn).
I have a screenie, I'll upload it in a minute.

Early this evening ping was poorer then usual, but later - while vq-ing - the response improved and it might even be better then it has been for a while.
DRGN
Oh yes, and I forgot to add another delightful thing; every 5 minutes or so, I get disconnected from the Friends list...and nothing else. It makes it really fun to try and communicate with people.
Zefie
I am having major ping problems since the move.
I wish I had got a screenshot but believe it or not I had over 175,000 ping and it just kept going.
Logged out and back in and while it isn't as high as it was, its still horrible.....

Oh man, code=15 showed up just before... 25th match in RA!! I had perfect team, I'm sure i'd have won that. :S
During the streak about half of battles someone from enemy team just didn't load. There were many battles against 2 or 3, even versus one. To make things funnier we had a battle with... nobody! xD http://img228.imageshack.us/f/gw129.jpg/

From Texas and I keep lagging and my friends list keeps disconnecting.
SunfallE
The only serious lag spikes I got was a few hours before the shut down for the move. Since then it hasn't been much different. Normal play with occasional lag spikes that aren't enough to really affect game play.
I'm curious to see if this means the random 004's I used to get at least once a week will finally vanish. Wouldn't bother me any if they finally did.
I do hope they get it sorted out for everyone else though. I didn't take a screenshot but people were complaining in Pre about not being able to move to post. They kept getting some 'reconnecting to server' error.

If you want the support of a good server, you pay the bill for it. We enjoyed 5 years of wonderful gameplay and now it's almost at its end. Get over it. My advice to you: go get a job. |
I don't usually respond to personal attacks, simply because I don't care what uninformed people have to say, they live in a world of ignorant bliss. But as a favor to you I will help you out (but only this one time) with some information, because I like helping people that don't know what they are talking about. I'm a giver that way.
FIRST:
Check interview with Mike O'Brien president of ArenaNet and is the executive producer of Guild Wars 2.
How has the free online play revenue model worked out for you?
Mike: It's worked out really well for us. I think its reputation and sales kind of speak for themselves, and how big a hit the game has become.
SECOND:
On Aug 10th 2010 Guild Wars 2 Lead Designer Eric Flannum stated:
The impetus was, 'Yeah, let's embrace this new direction and let's not do it at the expense of the game Guild Wars 1 players love.'
We've always said we're going to keep the Guild Wars 1 servers going as long as anybody's there who wants to play on them.
End Quote.
THIRD:
Many people purchased the game with this promise in mind (yes it was said before Aug 10th of this year) and expect that since the server was part of the purchase price of the game, they should deliver on this promise.
FOURTH:
"the game" is not 5 yrs old (unless you only have prophecies) Eye of the North was released on August 31, 2007. (I'll do the math for you) that was 3 yrs ago.
And finally if the game were dead you wouldn't see all these posts of people having connection problems. A million people log onto the servers every week and hundreds of thousands daily.
So there you have it, you now have the proper information for your next trolling attempt, I won't respond to any further attacks from you, I will meet ignorance with patient shoulder shrugging. Good luck to you and farewell, I hope you find it easy to remove your foot from your mouth.
And while he is pulling it out, let's get back on topic
Xiaquin
I was just on for a while. Did Zaishen Elite, RA and skated through ATFH, didn't see any lag or connection problems with anyone.

sir, YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID
Now is the last chance to redeem yourself.. to show you're able to participate in a discussion.

And I rarely see any posts about connection problems; you're just overreacting because of this whole server move. Dividing by zero. Doing it wrong.
Really, STOP being 'a crusader for good', STOP being a 'rebel', and STOP acting like internet mafia (your organisation).
You really should get a life, or at least get some help.. because this is just not right.

Bad, but getting better. Yesterday was nigh unplayable but today I averaged 400-500 ms. Still seeing a lot of people dc though.
