Malfrador.3615 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 -> Title.Since the last patch, skill lags got a lot worse. We now even had lags that made the game unplayable while we were doing PPT in the red garri. Delays of up to 10 seconds while casting any skills. EU T3, Kodash, Red Map, 19.00 UTCI do not know what you did Anet, but you certainly broke something on the server side and WvW is pretty much unplayable in prime time right now as soon as you have more than 50 people on both teams or a third party is involved. It's really horrible right now and needs to be fixed. As there were no major skill mechanic changes, the problems seems to be the server code itself and not a specific skill.

steki.1478 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 You get the same skill lags now in 40v40 that you would get in SM on EBG in 50v50v50 before the mount patch... It happens even if people aren't mounted. Having more people just makes it unplayable until half the people die/disconnect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunkamania.7561 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Servers need to be fixed up ASAP. They seem worse than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAHNeunzehnsechundsiebzig. Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 what servers? It feels like they downgraded their virtual amazon servers to save some money :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RisingDaewn.8703 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 It's worse than ever ATM, can you find a way to fix this plox?Or could you at least, see for yourselves and acknowledge this problem exists, that something needs to be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawdler.8521 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Strange thing is... I havent seen real noticable skill lag for ages. I cant even remember the last time. Mounts certainly didnt change anything for me. Zerging or solo roaming, 1-2+ hours every day in EU T1/T2 primetime. Almost exlusivly borderhopping, rarely EB.

Klipso.8653 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 My skills were misfiring while solo clearing a camp the other day, it was off hours so there weren't even large groups nearby, servers definitely need an upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost exlusivly borderhopping, rarely EB.I play EU hours on US servers so I never see the game at its busiest. Still, going back to before HoT, I used to get huge skill lag fairly often and always, without fail, in three-way in SMC. Since then it's become less and less frequent, which may be down to the ever-decreasing numbers of people playing the mode. It might be quieter in general, but at weekends and in matches where we play someone with a strong EU presence there are still some large-scale three-ways in SMC and occasionally elsewhere. I haven't experienced any skill lockdowns in one of those for as far back as I can remember. Definitely never in the last six months, quite probably not in over a year. The addition of mounts (which I deplore for other reasons) has made absolutely no difference to skill lag or performance for me. In fact, for me WvW is more playable, in a technical sense, than ever before. Being able to move and cast freely (as a staff Ele) inside SMC Lord room with two zergs fighting and a third stacking in a corridor has increased my survivability tenfold, not to mention my usefulness. This would literally never have happened in the same situation between 2012 and 2016.I have no idea why that should be. I'm playing on the same PC with the same settings on the same ISP. If anything's changed I assume it's at ANet's end. Maybe it's the Amazon hosting. Perhaps that simply has bettter connectivity with my ISP than the old servers did. Clearly there are winners and losers in the new set up but how many people are worse off and how many better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi.6780 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 What's up with the servers? skill lag even in 20v20 fights.. This is happening for about 2 weeks now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luranni.9470 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I first noticed it drastically increase the day the Warclaw event was turned off. Coz I was like.. it's 10am and there's ruddy skillag what is going on here.... And it's been like that ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSeed.3528 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 They probably gave enough sufficient time for everyone to get warclaw and make it feel smooth during launch, and now it's back to starving the single hamster that runs the current servers :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
