Lumikki.1725 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 @Friday.7864 said:Dozens of Internet providers having issues or dozen of different PC configurations having performance issues at the same time is nonsense.Players own Internet provider is very small part of internet. When connection is made from your PC to server. First it goes to your internet provider, then other internet provider, then next internet provider and so on, until it's reach the internet provider where the server is. Lets look situation as reversed ways. Lets start from server side. Now depending what direction on this planet you are compared to servers location, the connection will start to go different route after it get's out of servers internet provider.Example let assume server would be in German. Now route to Italy will be totally different than route to Norwey. Same ways that car would have to go different roads. How ever route to Norwey could be some parts same than Sweden, because they are in same direction to compared to German.Point been that server could be only common for these players, but it could also be internet provider to servers or some internet provider after that. When there is alot of people suffering by the situation, but not all, I would assume that issue is very close to servers. If it would be servers, then everyone would have same issue without no exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frareanselm.1925 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 The last day I played WvW I could target a enemy but couldnt hit him, like he was in front on me but in reality was far away, this is a serious LAG problem. Also see a big zerg and after 1 second theyre over me , this is unplayable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the entire backbone had issues I'd be having issues on all maps. This way Crystal oasis is fine while the next minute in Desert Highlands I die at a hero point due to the slideshow. Besides, the internet backbone is very well maintained, unlike GW.We saw a bit of everything in the past few months: more and more maps lagging, rollback, login issues (several times), issues with instances and quite a few problems in wvw and pvp. We didn't even have a fraction of these issues last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I'm sorry to hear you have those issues. Could be due to more traffic on the internet since so many now stay at/work from home.I hope you experience some relief.Perhaps, the new player-limit in WvW will help you.

Wish this was true, its happening to me ever since Icebrood Saga. Before no issues whatsoever. First it was Thunderhead Peaks for me but later on also in main PoF maps which can be a simple vista on a map with like 1 other person in sight. Bounties, thats a big slideshow. The Dragon Bash festival zero lag. Fractals do have some lag in some of them (the one with Amala lagged for me as in skills not going off). Previously never an issue. I guess this fractal may be on the same servers or something as the PoF and lws4 maps. Or there is some visual thing (or a change into how their client works), or whatever slipped into all this content with icebrood saga that makes something go unplayable laggy. At Pof launch and lws4 launches I could be in a big blob and experience almost no lag (just the to expected one now and then but not slideshows, desyncing and skills not going off).

Naxos.2503 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Been hit by it today for the first time, along with a friend. She lives in the US, and I in France, we both lagged equally at the same exact time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khoarr.8312 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I really love the Path of Fire Expansion, but how am i supposed to have fun, when everything is just a lag festival? Its really fun, when you cant finish your needed Hero Points. Please fix your second Expansion before you release the third one, thank you.

The issue isn't the player limit, its the load balancing, and potentially a load balancing server that is mis-configured.Also, it seems that the reconnect option I talked about is causing me to get hard disconnected from the name server. Guess when I have server lag in pvp i just have to take the spurts of 10 second long lost return packets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelo.2653 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I'm experience lag every time there's a big update and balancing, usually it lasts for 2-3 days but this time, it is already the 4th day and it is unplayable for me.. Other games, i have stable ping but in GW2, it is over 1k.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumikki.1725 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I think lag where it depense what zone you are, can't be network lag. Because network is allways same for "all" servers/zones in same network. It has to be server or client related in those situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalzana.3192 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Had a particularly horrific experience tonight with a small skirmish group in wvw (6 of us) roaming. Worst I've ever experienced. Coming from different sides of the Atlantic (mix of UK/US) on NA server, both experiencing issues with rubberbanding, skill lag and a few dcs.

Yello.3406 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 What an irony. I just returned from ESO due to lags and bugs. Turns out GW2 isn't any better these days. I always refer to this game as most flawless because of my past experience. Well, that's over for now I guess. I can't recomend a game that freezes for a couple of seconds during a Champ-Fight, rising frustration through the roof. Please fix this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirigaya Kazuto.8547 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 There are many threads about this problem for more than a year and they never ever communicated about this problem. They just ignored it all the time.Do you realy expect them to do something now?My guess is they just wrote the statement now in order to soothe the community. BUt I don't think they will actually work on this huge problem.More than a year, I think they just don't care anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teratus.2859 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 For the first time in a good while I had pretty smooth running on Bjora Marches, easily the laggiest map for me usually.And then Drakkar spawned.. I got there and there were at most 20 people, smallest group i've ever had during this boss event.And the lag spikes we were getting where honestly just as bad as if the map was full and there was AoE condi spam everywhere..There's no way this lag was caused by too many players and too much going on.. it had to be something else.I still have suspicions that maybe too much stress on WvW servers might be throttling PvE and PvP servers too.. I dunno, but for me I do notice these lag issues are more common around WvW's peak times so kinda easy to suspect the problems are related.If they are and Anet knows they are that could be why they've avoided saying anything about it.. I could definitely see a scenario where Anet comes out and just says this game wide lag is because of WvW and almost the entire PvE and PvP community just comes out and starts demanding WvW be shut down for the sake of the rest of the game >.<That would be a total kittenshow situation..

Mike.7983 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 For me the lag is constant in desert highlands or elon riverlands, even if latency shows 75-80 I will get constant micro lag resulting in constant 2-3 second delays, as for any other map the lags fine, only bad lag is the mega world boss zerg. Which is server unable to handle the player load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkpile.7439 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I was planning to ask PoF map lag, but seems like it have been going on months. Won't be going back there before that kitten is fixed. That constant stutter every 3 sec is like 100 times more annoying than wvw 10 sec skill lag.

MaximeP.7524 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I'm a returning player from 4½ years out, and sincerely, It's SO frustrating when I'm in SandSwept Isles and at anytime of the day, everyone on the map says they are experiencing major lags too... This is by all evidence server-side... Anet says that it's under investigation... But I wonder are they really investigating?Seeing how long it's been happening, There's reasons to doubt about it...

Ramooh.3286 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Game is too laggy to play. I ask in /map and multiple other people say they are lagging too. I'm in the first zone of Path of Fire (NA) if people are curious.I just bought the expansions and I'm regretting my decision. If you are new (or returning like me) think twice before giving them your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I wonder are they really investigating?Seeing how long it's been happening, There's reasons to doubt about it...They’re doing it on a player by player basis it seems based on those who submitted data to Anet. You can try submitted traceroute and/or ping plotter data through a help ticket to see if Anet could resolve your situation. If it’s determined that it’s due to your ISP then you’d need to contact whomever that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I mentioned in map chat, I am sorry that your new player experience has been dampened by lag but don't take the lag today as the "normal" for the game. To the Devs: this was on NA servers, Desert Highlands IP 3.219.113.40I ran the Boss Rush for the daily and noticed lag but that is a mass event and always has lag, what we experienced in Desert Highlands was skill/ability lag, chat lag and game stall/pause for 1-2s mid fight.
