Random ping spikes only for GW2 and GW1.


Recommended Posts

I haven't heard anyone bring this up, so I can only assume it's happening to me. Out of all the online-based games that I have, GW2 seems to be the one that is constantly experiencing spikes in ping. It'll go to from the default 120-180 ping (I'm from the EU playing on NA and never really had any issues) to values as high as 500 and even 1,200 every few seconds non-stop. It's made the game practically unplayable for me, especially during the evening. This is not an issue in any other MMO that I've played like SWTOR, ESO, FFXIV, TERA and even online matches for fighting games.

 

Any ideas? I'm really at a loss.

Both games are hosted on AWS.  It's going to be whatever your connection to Amazon is.

Was this a recent change or something? Last year I was playing just fine.

Been several years since they changed now.  My ping from the West Coast of the US to EU servers actually improved when they made the change, but yea, sometimes there will be spikes.

Then I don't understand why it would just start behaving this way...

You can use a program like PingPlotter to find where connection issues lay.  Although, it won't normally allow AWS pings in the regular program. 

Good luck. 

How am I supposed to do it then?
