Last 3-4 days have been unplayable. Typical latency of 250ms as Australian spikes randomly between 450-1500, even attempting an event like Dragonstorm becomes impossible as everything freezes in place every few seconds and hotkeys refuse to react to being pressed. Nothing else outside of GW2 is having network issues for me, definitely game related. First night I noticed it happening I couldn't even login completely, launcher wouldn't display current news but let me into character select but trying to login further resulted in infinite loading screen.

Dude, the forum is crawling with complaints on this, so is social media, so is in-game chat. Why be so condescending with an issue that is clearly being caused by a recent update to a huge number of players?

Definitely still broken, takes ages to list anything and multiple errors each attempt.

Claiming the OCE/AUS regions couldn't support a player base directly conflicts with the fact that plenty of other wildly successful games have huge presences in these regions with no issue with sustainability, the only *real* counter argument to this is being confident GW2 can't compete against other online games, which the recent Steam release also totally disproves. As an Aus player who still loves this game despite the ping issues, I'm somewhat hopeful the eventual WvW restructuring will reopen this particular discussion for ANet.

Sea of Sorrows long time player, Canberra based. Would love to come along if you've got room.
