Yes, there is no issue when I tried Maxis mobile network. Perhaps you should submit a ticket to Time so that they become aware of it more. I have already done so and infact, they are checking on it as we speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaxares.5419 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 SEA player here. The lag actually started the day before the patch, but it's majorly intensified since. It seems to be GW2 specific as I don't experience any issues with general web browsing or other online games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Out.5732 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) So few days ago i provided Arena.Net with networking data captured with WinMTR (as they requested). I provided data when I had lag (it also started happening in PvE) and when i did not. All data was pointing to issues with AWS as the data is lost there. And finally got a reply from suggesting that "my ISP should fix the issue as it is on their end". It takes no genius to notice in the data what servers are in scope of my ISP, what are in scope of international network provider and what servers are in scope of AWS. So it seems that it is in scope of my ISP to fix issue on data loss between two AWS servers and also it is my ISP fault that players from various countries have the same issue (my ISP only provides service in my city) and it seems that all of the global Guild Wars 2 related traffic must come via my small local ISP (as other services and games run fine)... So i replied to that joke of an email (pasting only 2 parts of it): "(...)92% of traffic is lost at server "54.239.xxx.xxx" that is registered to "Amazon Technologies Inc." (...)" "Sorry, but i have to write it clearly. You (Arena.Net) are the customer of AWS (Amazon Web Services). You are paying not only for server hosting but also for support for it. Your (Arena.Net) paying (we bought the game, expansions, gems) customers (players) are having issues with service (Guild Wars 2) that you (Arena.Net) and your vendor (AWS) is providing." Got a reply after it that "We have received your message and will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience." So I am waiting with patience...

Sen.7530 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) I'm also playing on NA from SEA and having massive lag every time I tried to play with a lot of people around. What is going on? The game is unplayable for me at the moment. Cannot even play world bosses/meta/drizzelwood etc map because of the insane spike. I only have this problem with GW2.

CrimsonHorizon.3196 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Been getting severe lag spikes as well, I bought the expansion about 2 weeks ago, the first week was fine, very smooth experience but after that a steady increase of unplayable days. What is going on with the servers?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krtek.6108 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I've been getting the same lag spikes too after the patch, I resolved mine by reinstalling the client using the steam version. Hope it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Out.5732 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 so i got an official confirmation of the issue: Quote Lead GM Magister (Guild Wars 2 Support) Sep 22, 2022, 09:47 PDT Hello, Thank you for waiting while I further reviewed your WinMTR test results with our server team. After checking the IP addresses associated with all Guild Wars 2 servers on Amazon's platform, it appears that the servers that are experiencing packet loss are not part of those that are specifically hosting the game - rather, they may be earlier hops inside of Amazon's network path that we do not have much direct visibility into. We will reach out to Amazon about the issue, but unfortunately our team will not be able to comment or assist further on the matter due to these server nodes not being within our networking space. We hope that reaching out to our contacts at Amazon, however, will get their attention so that they may investigate what is happening with these servers. We appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention. If you are aware of others encountering similar packet loss, please encourage them to send their own support ticket or make a forum post so we can review their issues as well, and send further evidence along to Amazon if the situation demands it! 🙂 Regards, Lead GM Magister Guild Wars 2 Support Teamhttp://help.guildwars2.com/ So as you can see, please open support tickets and follow the steps (with WinMTR) to capture data when you are lagging. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jukhy.2431 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Thank you for posting the reply @Max Out.5732 Normally I don't have connection issues but I did have some annoying skill lag recently. I used the -diag command line option few times and got pretty much the same results. Packet losses of 80-95% between Amazon server hops, not at the very end but close to it. I'm playing on NA side from the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for posting this. Unfortunately my reply from the tech support at ArenaNet is basically it is your ISP's fault and there is nothing we can do although I believe both our WinMTR reports show the same results of data lost. Thankfully, my ISP is more accommodating and helpful. They actually identified that the issues are happening at AWS and they are working with them to resolve it because it does not only affect GW2, but other services that are hosted by AWS as well. In fact, my ISP tech support just called me this morning and informed me that AWS are working on it, asked me to monitor if the same ping spike is still occurring. I told him surprisingly that for the last three days, I was able to play at the usual ping without the spikes which made GW2 unplayable. He told me to monitor until the end of the week as he will call back to check if the issue occurs again. That is really helpful unlike ArenaNet's tech support reply. I felt in a way pushed aside by the tech support and I hope ArenaNet is reading this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They called me this morning and asked me to monitor if the situation is resolved cause they have been communicating and working with AWS to resolve the issue. Judging by what they told me, most of the issues need to be solved by AWS. And it seems AWS had done something because for the last three days, my ping was back to normal. Anyway, TIME's tech support told me he would call back at the end of the week to check if the issue persists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovsep.6250 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 my friend has been getting constant disconnect issues during story instances always near the end of the instance, he tried every fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunnesque.7529 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Same here, from Western Europe. Started getting weird disconnects at the end of long story missions (and then having to do everything all over again, multiple times, and sometimes I had to do other stuff for a few days before trying again). Now they happen while playing normally, and often in shorter story missions as well. Finally made a ticket, and I've been doing the WinMTR stuff and everything. Going by what I read online though, I'll probably get the same response in the end, blaming my provider or something blatantly untrue. I mean, I get that this problem might be very hard to get to the root of, but Anet could at least acknowledge there is a problem. And also stop gaslighting people while they're at it. I really wanted to like this game, but this is making it impossible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
