Holy Lagspikes Batman!

yeah its getting bad we actually decided not to gvg the lag was so bad. Felt it would be counter productive to risk having our monks be lagged to death by whatever it is thats causing it.

It's pretty bad, especially in Droknar's Forge (which is overrun by bot farmers). But I've been getting it pretty much all over the place. It made an Underworld trip very difficult for us the other night. Our guildie was lucky to get his spider successfully.

lag is unbelievable. we did fow run last nite and evr1 was flying and i was freezing for 30-40 sec all the time.... miracle that nobody lagged out tho...

today lag is even worse - we did hells mis - evr1 was lagging - then i got err 005 again and now cant log on with any of my chars - good think i dont need this mis or i'll be mad such a waste of time - but few of my guildies needed this mis and they got err too...

This lag is unbeareble...i can enter lornars pass right out of beacons perch. This lag is pissing me the f* off. And the funny thing is, the same exact problem happened earlier this week, and now its coming back.Argh.

it makes monking hard, expecially in HA.

We keep getting destroyed by spike teams because the infusers are lagging to much.

As my guild leader said, they're probably uploading stuff onto factions, and the preperations for factions are making the servers lag.

I know this is happening on the American server like a plague, but is it this bad on the European side?

Wow looks like i picked just the right time to finish off my A2 Coursework. I was getting a bit of glitching earlier, but by the sound of things the whole of GW is screwing itself up...

With c2 coming out in 5 days they have to get the servers updated and repairs done before. That means some of them are going to be taken off line to do so.

Lets just hope we don't have a complete crash on the early start

I was in HA with my guild, and 3/8 got error 7.. I think they should really fix this stuff.

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

First lag i've had in months. A lot of people could not ente the International Districts of HA - don't know if that was related. Good to see ol' err=7 again ^_^

Definitely, the sooner the better. There will be many newcomers to Guild Wars with the release of Factions, so the servers won't get any less crowded. Just imagine the lag in the Monestary(or whatever the starting town is in PvE) if things go unchanged. I have faith they'll fix it, but it needs to be done soon.

It is really bad day for infuser because of lagging. But spike also has problem with lag. So the game is still balanced

Before yesterday, I had only had one err7 ever. Now I've had six. That's along with a ton of lag like mentioned already.

Today the lag was bad for like the first time since i've bought the game. I hope they take the game down to be honest to fix it BEFORE they release Factions.

I gave up tonight - had 8 err=5 messages when I was simply trying to go between towns or observe a gvg.

I went to pre-searing to set a char up for my daughter to play on and strangley had zero lag, zero errors

Went back onto my normal chars and got kicked off straight away

You've all got off light. GvGing tonight 5 of 8 of us failed to even load the map. Err 7 is nothing, error 5 is pure evil.

I'll throw in with you all. The lag today in Perdition Rock made the game virtually unplayable. I can't imagine we'd go in for any gvgs until this is corrected.

Worst I've seen it with the exception of the holiday events, in LA with the fireworks going off.

It's been continuously getting worse. I can't do anything on a Friday night, Saturday afternoon or Sunday afternoon now. I'm guaranteed to d/c.

And after being lagged to death right out of the gate in 3 of my last 4 FoW runs, I no longer do anything that requires being in a party, because I know I won't be any good to anybody.

Which is why I've been playing City of Villains lately -- everything that I still need or want to do requires a party (FoW, UW, FA, last Titan Quest on one of my characters).

Oh well... it hasen't been TOO big of an issue. I can say, our guild won't be doing any rated GvG's any time soon. Unless the ladder is messed up.. and I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

total count ... in 4 hours of trying to play on my weekend.. i have had 10 d/c and lagg the whole time... i shit you not...

If i was anet i would consider this a HUGE priority to fix. cause if this is how its gonna be when factions comes rollin around... well i dont wanna buy a game if i cant get anywhere in it becuase im getting disconects the whole time...

I am curious to know what errors people are getting.. i didnt get any code for mine .. it just says that my connection was lost.. i know its not me.. i have been playing fine for 6 months. and now all the sudden this crap

I think thats the cause of the lag, we are streaming more and more factions into our logs or whatever

Well, I thought most of us already stremed most of the content into our hard drives. I guess, with all the new players, that would be logical. It will only get worse, IMO. So get used to it for a while.

There is a Thread in Technician's Corner entitled (loosely) "Let's Kill the Lag Monster".

IN that thread are instructions and a link to a tool that performs checks and tracerts to different Anet servers.

If you want to help Anet track down the lag monster, then head to that thread and follow the directions.

Here, I'll even throw out the link:

my fix to the lag i encouter is quitting gw and starting anew. usually clears lag issues. Not really a good way to solve the problem when you are in a group and every time another member starts lagging.

luckily i didn't had disconnects because of err=anything

Me too. I've gotten maybie one Err 7 prior to this weekend. FoW was vitually unplayable Friday night for me. I spent the rest of the weekend soloing (when I wasn't watching an Invader Zim marathon ) .

For me, it was much, much worse. Not only am I lagging like hell, but I lost 3k just trying to get into FoW. And got error 7 EACH time I tried it.

I hope, you are all sending reports when these lag spikes occur. Instead of running here to flame about them. I want them fixed just as much as you all do, but complaining about them does nothing to fix the issue. Sent those reports peeps, when it's happening!!! Not 1 week later

sigh...err=7 when I was killing the last dragon in Dragon's Lair mission. Disconnect timing is always the worst. It will not happen at the beginning or middle but at the end.

Mmm, yeah...

It's quite fun sometimes though, to lag and then click through Eviscerate/Axe Rake/Executioners Strike = one second the target is standing still with half health, then after a few seconds of lag, suddenly they are dead.

What is annoying is when you're doing a combo and a skill is missed out. Axe Rake without a deep wound from Eviscerate... damn!

And of course... Someone's using a Res Signet and lag stops my Distracting Blow! Grr!

I'm not sure what's causing this 'Lag Storm', but hopefully it'll blow away before it's time to go to Cantha!
