Maulclaw.4365 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) 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.

Chaba.5410 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Both games are hosted on AWS. It's going to be whatever your connection to Amazon is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was this a recent change or something? Last year I was playing just fine. Edited March 3 by Maulclaw.4365 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I don't understand why it would just start behaving this way... Edited March 3 by Maulclaw.4365 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 You can look it up on Google or your favorite search engine. Though, the issue may be before or after the AWS pings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
