VAHNeunzehnsechundsiebzig. Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 hm, I don't have those problems. Have you traced your connection? A lot of people at home, lots of people streaming and ISPs very well known for selling more bandwith than they have because 'there is no chance that the majority will be at home doing inet stuff at the same time'. . .

Kyochi.1895 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Well... I returned to GW2 week ago and it's terrible in terms of server lag. I've got decent internet connection of 1Gb/s download and 300 Mbit/s upload, never had any problems before with latency on any game at all. I refuse to believe that problem is on my point. GW2 shows avarage ping arund 35-45ms, but in game itself I've got constant freezes while playing with input lag of about 2-3 seconds. I hope those are just temporary issues casue if it's stays that way - it's a deal-breaker for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarilo.6204 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 another day, another lag ridden disaster in desert highlands, tens of people complaining right now on live map but please go on and tell us it's all due to our connection......absolutely disgraceful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tao.5096 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I usually have a very stable connection to Gw2 servers, and in most cases any delays or disconnects were on my side - ISP, etc. - and I know, because it was happening at other games too.However, lately I did notice that PvE maps in Gw2 tend to have some packet losses (ping jumps only to 80~90).I did run several tests and it really appears that the issue is on Anet's side - Bjora Marches, I get every minute some packet loss which rubberbands me or mobs back for 3-5 seconds. But sPvP or WvW is fine in this regard.What really surprises me, is lack of response from Anet on those issues, as in previous times they were announcing some issues which were network related and when they were working on it in-game...It's really disturbing where Anet is going with it's behavior toward it's playerbase..

tretmuehlenverweigerer.438 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 It's interesting how often Anet stress that they want to be treated with respect, yet they show utmost disrespect for their customers lately. Letting performance issues like the ones we are having since weeks just sit and not even leaving an official statement is disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since then from my side I've upgraded from ADSL to Fibre. PC is still the same, performance is way way worse.Just my thoughts exactly. Bet they wanted to cut costs and just closed a few servers and put multiple maps on the same or something. By the time the next expansion comes nobody is playing anymore coz Pof, Lws4 and probably more by then is literally unplayable. Makes a good impression as well to new players that bought the PoF/HoT expansion. Instant refunding and quitting coz they can't even play the expansion material.

Randulf.7614 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 However bad the EU ones here get, Lotros have been down everyday for the last week. Even though I'm mostly on a GW2 break, I return here because they are still more stable than some other MMO's.Not that improvements (and acknowledgement) aren't needed here mind you because they are. Some areas of the game are often unplayable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crowy.1536 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Just coming from another lagfest in Thunderhead Peaks.... seriously, how ignorant can a company be? this is going on for over a month now and no communication from Anet at all!?

Zeeg.7340 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I think it's not specifically ArenNet. AWS is known to be abysmal when it comes to bandwidth and availability. I think it's just a bad choice of provider to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asum.4960 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Man people were not kidding. PoF and LW4 + Bjora are pretty much unplayable with permanent 5+ seconds skilllag and rubberbanding. Glad I'm not an OW player personally, but this needs to be fixed asap.I imagine this bleeds players by the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more laggy DE servers (Frankfurt).you do realize that AWS peering at Frankfurt is fatter than PLs, UKs, SKs overall peering?I bet it is not AWS nor Frankfurt. My money is on ISP overselling bandwidht (which they all did) now biting them in the ass hard.MY employer does sell online courses. Before COVID hit, no problems at all. But the moment everyone started to work from home, customers were lagging out and disconnecting all the time.Maybe, just MAYBE it isn't ANET's or Amazon's fault? An seriously - DE-IX.... if you think the problem is there, you should look up some stuff about the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
