Doctor.1905 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I live in the west coast and my ping usually averages around 100-110. Lately my ping has been around 280 staying there for like an hour or so before it drops back down to 110ish. What's going on? It's been happening since the last update.

Rysdude.3824 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I live on the US westcoast as well and experiencing the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charrboiledeggs.8164 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I live in central and for a few months now my ping has doubled what it used to be. somebody said at one time anet moved their servers or switched or something. my ping was always around 50-60 for the first 6 yrs but since anet did something a few months ago its been doubled. but i bet it has something to do with this game dying and anet having to cut off servers in certain zones making the connection travel farther.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 The game isn't 'dying', nor did ArenaNet cut off servers.ArenaNet moved (NA) from NCSoft servers (in Texas) to Amazon servers (in Virginia) to provide more stable servers for their kind of game distribution. Those on the West Coast and Central US would see an increase; those on the East Coast a decrease in ping.EU moved from Frankfort to Frankfort.

Zagerus.8675 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I've been getting lag like this for the last week or so, too. All of the pingplotter logs show no packet loss or ping spikes. All of the internet speed/ping tests to various servers across NA show no anomalies in prolonged tests. It's only in the game where I get 150-400 sometimes even 500ms ping spikes just out of the blue (which is very frustrating in PvP ><) Any kind of movement skill will randomly stutter or skip animation frames ect. Average ping hangs at 145-200ms for 5 seconds or more then everything is fine again. I'm beginning to wonder if that recent snow/ice storm that is hitting the east is having an effect on the server routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feirlista Xv.1425 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Ping and internet issues are the number one complaint in any online game if you don’t believe me go check any games support forum! Now if this was an internal game issue then this thread would be pages long and someone from Anet would be on telling us they are aware of the issue and are working on it. One thing that Anet is good for is getting on here and informing us of game issues in a time.y manner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zagerus.8675 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Well found some packet loss this morning, getting random 200ms ping spikes and thought to test it. PL varies from 3-5% on 99.82 and 0-7%* on 52.93. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyShroud.2865 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 if even NA players have packet loss, the problem obviously lies in NA network itselfeither the backbone or the amazon network but it seems to be pointing at amazon network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lahmia.2193 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Living in UK here but on NA server. 400+ ping (normally I'm 100 ish) and often hits well into the thousands making it pretty unplayable.But glad to know it isn't a problem my end at least.

robertfordaol.1589 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 My ping has been a consistent 800 - 850 over the last few days. I read somewhere it had to do with AFK festival goers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kumbaya.4689 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 For me, using my regular cable connection, the packet loss started last night.I just tested it again, and the problem remains.I tried a 4G connection (different ISP), which usually works well, but same problem.Skills starts to blink, with no response and after a minute or so I get disconnected.Playing from Brazil => EU servers.

Jonny.6013 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Similar issues here - UK, EU server, average ping has increased from 60-70 to 330-600 over the last couple of days. FPS normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pureskullz.7536 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 140 FPS vs 980-20k ping who will win I wonder. Yeah it's gotten worse over the past few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zagerus.8675 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Just wanna update that I'm still getting indications of packet loss to Amazon's servers but had a tech from ISP come out and he looked the lines over. Apparently the connection at the drop from the main line was so loose that it took 1/4th turn and it disconnected. More than likely caused by the weather. Still getting packet loss to Amazon's servers but strangely not getting any ping spikes that interfere with gameplay. If you're still getting lag on NA might be worth calling your ISP to come check things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkEagle.7381 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 It's been extremely bad for a couple days now with my ping being "stable" around 500 for about a minute then dropping to just 60 for about 20-30 seconds then back to 500. It's basically making doing WvW and Raids unplayable. I'm in the Northeast btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havoc.4072 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Same problem for me, EU on Whiteside Ridge.Very unstable pings. It almost impossible for me to play GW2 during weekends. The rubber-banding is just too much.Support were very nice, but didn't help solve the problem. I highly doubt the problem is on my side.GW2 is the only game on my machine that has this problem :disappointed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leafstorm.1349 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I'm having the same issue since the last GW2 update. I normally get 45-65 ping (U.S. Est / FL). I have fiber optic internet with 100 up/down and there aren't any problems on my end. My ping now goes from 70-1500 randomly. I'll average 300-400 for a few minuets then it'll do something else. This is a very big problem for me @anet as sPvP is my most played game mode. This ping issue makes the game unplayable. I don't want to quit the game because I run a 500 member PvX guild that has been around for 5+ years, but if this keeps up then I'll just go to Xbox or something. Also, I've been talking to guild members and many of them have the same problem. Many of them only do PvE and they're still very frustrated. This needs to find a fix quickly. ~Leaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
