XenesisII.1540 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 The lag is so deep in the system that even cata, treb, mortar shots disappear sometimes... they're still firing... but you can't see the shots anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stand The Wall.6987 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 you know what skill lag is? its your lag getting lag. yeah, its that bad. calling it something else and normalizing it doesn't change how horrid it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxof.8752 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 remove all the condi, its obvious the server cannot handle all the complicated condi calculation in a zerg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melian.5368 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Due to the lack of skill lag in PvE, I have come to the conclusion that it's not the number of players & skills going off in the instance, it is the 2 way nature of calculations done in WvW which causes bottlenecks to become overwhelmed that causes the lag. Games like eve online solve this through something called "time dilation" where they slow down the game so the servers can catch up, but it can also be done by smartly designing the code to avoid bottlenecks.I imagine the bottleneck in WvW battle calculation would be the damage done to player hp per tick, as this has more things that leads up to it and affecting it than anything else, like the calculation of condition durations or cordinate movement calculations etc. If this is the case, reducing the load (for example getting rid of "protection" or "vulnerability" buffs) or distributing that load would solve this issue, i.e. calculating the effects of your gear stats on map load or gear change instead of when damage occurs, thus increasing load times but reducing the necessary calculations at peak times. Regardless, this investigation requires man hours and is a matter of if ANet decides to invest or not, which can be decided via the pushback they receive. So we should keep reporting as these lag spikes occur, and keep the issue visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not nearly as often as I see it in WvW, but in some of the big open world META events (especially the ones with a lot of NPCs) like Thunderhead peaks I have experienced it fairly often.

Legendofzelda.1278 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I was about to post about this same issue then saw this post. I have nothing to add the OP says it all.

Svarty.8019 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I'm sure that when they reduce the map cap to lower than the target cap on siege (50) latency will disappear! ;) I'm the one running to the cannons right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonRise.7650 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 According to their WvW stream last evening, they are looking into it, but I guess from their tone, that we're stuck with this issue for a while.https://clips.twitch.tv/AverageLaconicClipzBigBrotherhttps://clips.twitch.tv/KindShinyBoarMau5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think so after looking at 3 way fight videos there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROFL, completely invalid and false argument.The first 6 years of playing GW2 WvW were perfectly lag-free, with only very rare exceptions of insanely big 3-way massacres around SMC (probably caused because game engine is not developed to take care of 200+ ppl in one small place).

Valelutra.9128 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 can still tell when there are two groups fighting from outside a keep.

ANet keep enforcing it.Sugestions:-Perma alacrity is also something very very very strong cause it will affect what i talked above, my sugestiuon to this is give alacrity ONLY to chronos, and make the boost to alacrity hapens just once in a while.-Remove Quickness from FB's.-Scourges, class spam capabilities and barrier is a bit idiotic, cut their range or make the class sacrifice health like in Gw1.

magnusthorek.8027 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Just don't forget the problem is with SERVER LATENCY, not Server Latency IN WVW/PVP. PvE is VERY unplayable as well, even while soloing story instances. As I write this I'm trying my last resort reinstalling the entire game because I simply can't do anything in good sync, from skills firing 5s later after used to being unable to mount in the air...I can't say my real ping because game's info is a liar. It shows me 180-200ms but I could swear it's way more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
