TingleTangleBob.6027 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 As someone who has played about 80% of the Friday Restarts since GW2 has been released, this is by far the worst state the servers have ever been in, even taken culling into account. I have the great advantage of being able to play from one of the best performing networks in germany and still can't manage to play this game between 7 and 11pm. This is not a 3-Way Problem. Your Servers do not work. Period. 2 Parties with 60 People? Can't dodge. Can't cast. Can't Heal. Can't Resurrect. People are Teleporting. 3 Parties? People desync by seconds up to larger fractions of a Minute. You have been constantly downgrading these Servers. Even though Player-Slots have been cut by at least 30% (Yes we counted Player numbers on spawn back in the day) and even though computing power/web hosting has gotten much cheaper over the years you stil managed to worsen the overall experience and performance. I can reassure you and all of my community members that this problem is your server and your server only. I'm also quite convinced that this is due to the fact, that you are cutting costs. At the wrong spot again. We have lost many Players within the first 60 minutes of every week, because they experience these lags, which are completely preventable, and instantly log out. You have chosen to lose these Players and you will continue to lose Players, because in the end only a working gamemode will keep these players. Thank you for investing the extra 300€ a month to give all of us the necessary performance to enjoy this game. P.S.: Please don't add anymore mounts and other stuff that requires a Tick higher then 4, because the faster an object moves, the more it will desync when the tickrate is low (you could have calculated that beforehand btw.). P.P.S.: If you don't have the money necessary, feel free to ask the community. We would all be happy to pay, if at least we could prevent the gamemode from being completely neglected/dying out.

Dawdler.8521 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 This evening was actually surprisingly smooth for me. No entrance lag on reset (last week was absolutely horrid) and no noticable skill lag or warping around even when all three servers clashed. I only saw brief moments of skills slowing down/speeding up but nothing bad (last reset my pistol autoattacks literally took 5s between shots, frequently) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddie.5861 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 so it lagged again or not? im pretty sure it did lag cus havent seen a friday reset night not lag for many years :P this why i havent bothered for eternity to play on friday its like a day off for me since its pointless.. but ye as some may have notice i bumped up all complain post about lags cus its getting out of control every night nowadays :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jace.9738 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Yeah it Lags hard. Its not funny anymore. Besides Roaming or Guildfights (or PPT), you can do almost nothing. Even with just 2Way, you get Skilllags and Rubberbanding, and on Reset its just Hell. Pls do something Anet :/. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddie.5861 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 ye tried just now 2 blobs fighting and theres slight skill lag already gotta love this game, instead of improving they are just doing steps backwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DemonSeed.3528 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I was feeling it in both regions, but a lot more on EU for some reason. Usually it's the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltekka.2375 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I stopped playing on reset. Things are pretty bad (lag-wise) even when 2 zergs clash, let alone 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkbeefy.5729 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I've had a few people look at the lagg issue. The ping traces all conclude its the AWS servers. Now the root cause could be anything from Anet not purchasing sufficient capacity, to Amazon being a financial leech, seriously bad coding considerations (boon and condi stacking causing delayed calculations before RTT resumes), Regional priorities being reset to place US before other regions etc. I dont work for Amazon therefore the cause is speculative but Amazon servers it is. What is totally annoying is not so much the obscene ping experienced by a significant portion of the player base, but rather, Anet knowing there is a problem somewhere and not saying something like "listen folks, the pandemic has caused many alterations to how we can operate in this environment (working from home, server maintenance etc). We are aware of the lagg issues much of the player base is undergoing and at the first opportunity we will attempt to secure a better understanding the the problems cause, and subsequently keep you posted on the progress".... BUT NO... not one single word from Anet in respect this subject... not one word. That is simply poor management and only serves to decrease brand and increase client anger.

Doug.4930 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I've found the only way I can get manageable ping (in Australia) Is by using a VPN. Game mode is bleeding players. Any server with a non NA majority population has been decimated due to it being unplayable for many people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aspirine.6852 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Just watching Bez stream in GBL(stuck in qeu) and they cannot even fire off skills. The lag is insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamikharzeeh.8016 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 the funny thing is, you can even smell enemy groups by watching the ping-explosions. if one zerg is nearby, it's kinda random if it lags or not, but if two groups are nearby or even fight yet, it always announces itself by bringing constant ping110+ on the table. then there is random parts in this too - it does not always lag equally, not everbody deconnects (for example i have really bad ping often at high load, but rarely deconnect. also not everbody has the same bad ping on the same situations i feel. really bad lagbringers are mounts, invisibility, teleports and any kind of longer lasting aoe-skills (lines, fields) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
