Hi guys, been wondering what's the little "thunder" sign which shown in the top right corner the login page of the game? Is that something showing the same as FPS or is it just buffering speed?

Shows that updates are being streamed to you at that time. Sometimes a number will show up next to it, showing how large the streamed update is.

Streaming new content, the more you download on the log-in screen, the less time you'll spend loading new data when you enter an updated town.

It's actually lightning, thunder is the sound of lightning breaking through the air. Just for clarification.

Its a loading thingy when you enter a zone or city it appears above you because you are streaming in stuff that still needs loading...

Lag Indicator is acutally pretty close

It monitors Guild Wars downloading files ('streaming') to your computer - If theres a number beside it - its how big the download is.

It does most of the time cuase lag ingame. If only slight
