Whats with all the lag today?

Is it just me or is there REALLY BAD lag today?

I will go attack something and then everything will freeze then about 30 secs later things unfreeze and I will be dead cause they have all been hiting me and i have'nt been able to do anything. Its geting VERY annoying. Ive tried to get to granite citidal about 5/6 times now and it happends every time.

You on the European sever? I am and i've found it reeeally laggy today and yesterday night.

I found the same thing in the Ring of Fire mission, American servers. We went in and it would sort of start and stop until we were all dead. VERY laggy. Being suspicious, I wonder if it has something to do with botting and/or some huge exploit that someone's discovered?

same here i am on american server but i dont get that much of bad lag but it kinda like stops and goes when i try to attack a monster or i try to talk to an npc

So i am not the only one affected by this sudden uberlags...
Well... i'm on the european servers and those lags most of the time appear during europes peaktimes so maybe the servers are slowly getting overloaded?

I have also been getting huge spikes of lag. Quite annoying.

yeah, we got nice spike lag while playing GvG, at least didn't hurt us so bad but it's really annoying.

that's the new nerfing idea "just make them lag (and be killed) before they even drop anything"

not only occasional spike lags for 5-15 secs but yesterday night in the tombs in underworld our whole grp suddenly crashed (err7) just when we wanted to kill the last survivor of the enemy grp ...

really annoying.

I bet. That other group must have been jumping for joy.

Same again tonight! Last night for about 30 minutes the game was nearly unplayable. Im talking about minute long freezes every single mob. I stopped playing, nut its back tonight!

Seriously wtf, this isnt good.

I completely lagged out and got disconnected. I managed to reconnect straight after though.

is it consider lag if someone is walking on air or seem like their floating in mid-air?

It was those men in dark glasses and long dark coats carrying those flashing things...

its geting worse and worse the game is now unplayable thanks to the lag busts I'm now geting.

lag has increased for me over the past few days - was getting a few seconds "stoppage" and now it's getting around to 30-40 seconds a time...this is using 2 different connections (ADSL and Cable) and 2 different providers...

made Hell's Precipice really unplayable

Yep, it was TERRIBLE earlier today. It's really taking the fun out of playing.

Any comments from ANet anywhere?

I only had one case of lag yesterday that got me killed, but i just assumed it was from my half-assed internet conection... it would be nice to see Anet give an answer to it... but oddly enough my connection is running as normal as ever (then again havent played too much the last couple of days)

is this on all servers (europe, korea, america) or just one?
