[quote name='jimbodan']I picked it up tonight.
Character name is "Lady Deth Dealer"
Currently level 4 Mesmer/Necromancer
I named my character in honor of my original Diablo 2 character, I threw on the "Lady" title because it was my favorite Diablo 2 title.
Go ahead and add me to the guild if you don't mind.
The game seems to be running either choppy or laggy, I can't tell which it is.
I have an extremely nice SLI setup, so I don't think the problem is lack of computer power, but it could always be some random setting I have enabled, although I'm using the Guild Wars specific SLI profile.
I have DSL so I don't see how lag could be a problem either, but considering how picky and srewy connection issues can be I think lag is more of a possibility.
Does anyone know any way to test my connection speed in game and also see my frame rate?
EDIT: Problem seems to have gone away for the most part, I was reading on another forum that it's sometimes laggy for the first 15-30 minutes and then it gets a lot better.[/QUOTE]
The typical reason for this lag is that Guild Wars periodically streams data to your computer (its the lil' lightning bolt in the top right corner). When its done streaming, everything gets better.
