How is the latency?

For me last time WoW rampage server is 600ms, now Diablo 3 is 350ms.

Since GW2 is a PvP-oriented game, if the latency is 400 and above it will be a horrible disadvantage.

interested to know also

now playing aion with ~250ms

i think ping averages from 300ms to 500ms

using resource monitor (windows start button > accessories) shows a few pings for gw2.exe ranging from 300ms to 500ms

decide to play this game instead of secret war.

anybody play this game using laptop?

looking for low heat laptop.

currently using dell inspiron n1150. very very hot.

at first i wanted to play but then i was late for payment for the first batch of gw2.

steam also hilang d, dun feel like playing anymore or maybe im actually getting older that's why..

my laptop sure pretty hot playing aion for more than 1 hour (dafuq )

i think the heat issues will be the same

Lots of lag for me, I'm seeing 400-600 ms using resource monitor.

I dare not try PvP at all. I'm having trouble even with monster, by the time my attack start, people already kill them, lol.

my lag pretty bad as well...first 2 min after logging in is tolerable...otherwise lag is worse than gw1...XD...only noticeable in battles though

PVP is pretty good for me with no different than PVE. havent try WvW yet as yesterday is freaking full and need to queue to enter

hola, pvp is so fun, but need teamwork instead of run n gun.

have no problem with latency

yup... Arena Net is good at handling latencies....

Only noticeable in battles? is that line or fps? back when it was bwe3, i had fps problems too. updated driver and they fix it for release.

more like graphic lag rather than network lag to me....

my noob pc also still can handle wor. dont put everything medium lo. put mostly low some medium. still look nice =x

i'm on 1280x800 screen, using lousy HD5570 , i put one high medium setup, still get 45+ fps in not so heavily crowded area....

i use the latest 12.8 driver for radeon

so far ok, no noticable lag....

playing thief, theres noticeable lag when rolling and using skill that backstep like bow 3rd skill.... etc

what u guys use to check latency?

Resource Monitor

Open Task Manager > Performance Tab > Resource Monitor > Network Tab > Under TCP Connection > search GW2.exe

If possible, can you guys share what latency number you are getting?

Especially those who got no lag. This can help others know what possible latency we can get, and try to get it. Thanks

One thing I notice for me is during 2-3 am, my latency reduce to 3++, and until morning. By noon now, my latency have gone up to 4++. Seems like 4++ is not the limit, but somehow Streamyx is affecting it.

mostly after work I play got around 280~350ms.... played at night... using Ping/Latency reducer (similiar to VPN but works on games .exe, does not changer your IP - paid) got around 200~230ms
