Looking for info on lag in WvW

#1 - March 26, 2014, 12:18 p.m.

Hey all,

We’ve been seeing a lot more threads popping up about skill lag & other lag related issues lately. Also, we’ve experienced it ourselves.

I would like to get some more information to see if there’s something we can do to mitigate, or fix the issue completely. Here’s what I’m looking for (please try to answer every question if possible):

• What kind of issue are you specifically having that could be related to lag?
  • Skill lag, rubber-banding, etc.
• What server are you on?
• Has there ever been a time when you or a friend are experiencing lag, while others in your party are not?
• Has there ever been a time where one party in a map is experiencing lag, while other parties in that same map are not?
• Do you experience the lag at very specific times?
  • For example, when 1 zerg is facing another zerg.
  • If so, can you estimate how many players are in each zerg?

Please try to be as brief/concise as possible. We’re not looking for stories of when you experienced this, just some solid data.

If you can think of anything else you believe is pertinent to this topic, feel free to share that as well.

Thanks all!

Hey all just wanted to update real quick! We’ve been investigating an issue that was introduced recently which we suspect could be causing increased lag in WvW. Today, we’ll be doing a hotfix to improve server performance with the hope that it mitigates the lag we’ve all been experiencing.

Keep an eye out once the hotfix is live and let us know if you notice a difference!

That’s good to hear! Our graphs are showing improvement too, but it’s good to hear from you guys that it’s gotten better.
