Server, region, CPU, GPU? 

My game was super weird  as well it wasnt CPU issues nor gpu since mmo's are not heavy on gpu, while on wvw game would even sometimes even game would stop responding and  desync players positions then everything would teleport back to what they were doing  (others would see me teleport as well). poor performance, heavy frame drops etc and setting at minimal.

Formatted windows and added a few rules to block certain traffic on my ubiquity USG from certain countries IDK but those connections were weird as f* since they would just popup mostly when i was on wvw LOL,  solved my problem.

Tiny delay once in a while between skill casting  but zerging with almost everything maxed.

 

@Kite.5327 at least do a windows fresh install.

he could mean skill lag and none of above have any effect to it

Some skill lag can be triggered by a slow upload to server. Have seen that quite often and when seeing it and doing a speedtest it was due to the upload speed. Once the upload speed improved the skill lag went away. But your mileage can vary.

what i've noticed is that when fighting BG groups, i always get lag spikes for some reason. That doesnt happen with other servers. 

BG's primary tactic is to generate lag and eliminate skill from the equation. It's why they're so thirsty for 3 way fights where they can just W key while spamming 1 and be on equal footing with everyone else.

I still have some lags in zerg and blob fights but rarely since I begun to use some memory cleaning softwares. I had Avast Cleanup Premium that was doing the job but my Razor gaming keyboard I bought last year came with a program that get the job done too so I stopped having to pay for the avast software. I cant guarantee you it could solve your lagging issues but it did it for me.

 

For those rolling eyes, keep on whining about lags, I still rarely do 😛

Lag seems normal, but since last Tuesday's patch, WvW keeps having invisible characters, broken textures, and my skill tray and boons are half blank in ever fight. It also crashes repeatedly. 

i can confirm that sometimes after blob fight that involve skill lag textures may disappear. It look like black squares on terrain or invisible objects in inventory.(win 7)

For those not having this issue, WvW can look like this:

The problem is definitely not on the player end, when you can move, run and jump fine but pressing a skill and either nothing happens or it just flashes at you for 10-30 seconds.  The annoying thing is when you and 30 people near you can't even auto attack the skill lag is soo bad, but the enemy can run you over doing full rotations because of the way the servers are designed.

Pictures do help. Have seen all of these of late except the buff bar one. They just started to happen patch before last. Will have to see if this patch addresses any of them. I could see the video driver for the texture ones but the missing icons and images that seems like game code issues versus video driver.

Lol!  Funny how some immediately start asking about PC specs, when a person has played the game smoothly up until the last year or so.  If the specs were great then, they're great now.  The lag has nothing to do with connection speed or specs, since most players already know they need a broadband connection speed and even the most cheapest of internet now will give anywhere from 25 to 50 mb connection speed, which is more than enough to handle an online game of GW2's status.

A - there's an issue with server host

B - servers are over populated and struggling badly

C - "ArenaNet Babies" are cheating way too much now.

Disregard "C", that got in by mistake but "A" or "B" are more realistic reasons why the lagging is out of control.  I literally can not play the game anymore on high speed internet.  I already started updating my Final Fantasy 14 online client again because GW2 is broken at the server level now.  It was already broken enough concept wise but at least you could play without major lag.

The lag is recent for me...like this year.  If I go back a year ago and further, everything was fine and I rarely experienced any lag.  Heck, I have even more internet speed now, so it's not that.  The new players have finally done it...  I see them all the time in low level areas when I'm checking my bank.  Brand new players left and right.  If you check America servers, they are all either full, very full or high population.

If the issue isn't server hosting, then ArenaNet needs to buy new game servers and spead people out until the lag issue go away; I'm assuming it's not a bandwidth issue on the company side.

Get a job cheating "ArenaNet Babies" and help the company buy new game servers!

Bump after an unplayable reset night in T2 EU on green bl, especially when there were several anet Devs following Underworld tonight.

Also had some NPC culling after a while, I mean the npcs at spawn seem to go invisible, unless you click on them.

I made a clip from my Twitch Vod and reposted on YouTube, of what I've found is the worst example of skill lag, but there was classic rubberbanding not in this vid, in two way fights, even with the third server not even casting anything big and a distance away.
