wvw skilllag

[arnitheking.8427]

for about three weeks we had virtually no skilllag on eu, even in 3-way fights. The /ip command also showed a different address. Now for a few weeks the skillag has "returned". Can we go back to the way it was when we didn't have any lag? Don't know exactly what happened but the difference(s) were very significant and have been noticed by pretty much everyone on my server at least.

na too lags me out. i experience a lot of rewind forward effect. really sucks in big battles.

[Rumba.3174]

Well guess some players where right that they fixed the server lag by mistake last time. Now they have undone that mistake...

Enjoy the 25 stacks of bleeding inserted in your eyes.

I've been getting skill lag and fps drops all over the place without any particular rhyme nor reason. Sometimes things run smoothly like it used to, other times I feel like I'm on the verge of getting timed out. Perhaps it's whatever server that's hosting the maps for fractals, wvw, open world pve, raids, etc. where the lag crops up. Whatever's causing it seems to be more systemic rather than localized, in any case.

okay i thought i was the only one experiencing no issues during the last couple of weeks... until monday november 13

 

no skill lag was such a new experience. felt like a completely new game.

[Sovereign.1093]

my guess its because of new living story and resource allocation in prepr for it.

 

hope we get our fix

[Junkpile.7439]

I have small lag whole time even when there isn't fight. Other players warp whole time. Annoying.

I noticed this also but coincidently I had bought a new computer at the same time, so I was wondering if that was why I was not experiencing any skill lag, but then yeah recently skilllag reared its ugly head once again, hopefully they have a fix in the pipeline.

WvW skill lag is a permanent issue i dont remember the specifics i think its hardware limitations

[X T D.6458]

Been getting a lot of rubberbanding lately. Sometimes the game just stops while everything is flashing, I cannot do anything, sometimes for almost a minute.

[RodOfDeath.5247]

Yeah, getting really old when you roam and highly depend on certain activation of skills.

It certainly is for sure.

The best part is when it feels my character is rooted to the ground like it proc'd ancient seed and nothing happens on screen while the enemy lays skills like diarrhea and then connection finally syncs and you are greeted by unavoidable death as it unloads on you in an instant. As I've said before, players are not what I'm fighting, my enemy is the lag itself. Once in a while when I'm moving I seem to be blocked by invisible walls as well, I'm guessing this is another sync issue.

Between the lag and out of control conditions I can see why a lot of players have left this game.

[Sovereign.1093]

the lag is evil. i find when i remove firewall and realtime on anti virus it does not affect as bad. but randomly, the fast forward thing because of pingloss is a pain when commanding and having a blast in fights

[Trinnitty.8256]

I been noticing skill lag too, not even during big fights.

This thread might help explain why.

Anet knows there are problems with their "leased" servers but refuse to comment, address or move to gaming optimized services.

 

We are being scammed, bigtime.

[primatos.5413]

Playing from Frankfurt, Germany on rs today since noon pingspikes as hell (goes up and down between 20 and 4.000) unplayable ... any chance there will be some kind of fix soon ? (This month)

[Ubi.4136]

The game is now hosted by Amazon servers. So, unless Anet wises up and reverts this change, it's not going to improve. Also, they are going to lose players.

[X T D.6458]

You have not lived until you have played WvW with 4.8k ping spikes! Makes you feel so alive...because you don't know that you died!
