Guild Wars 2

So many creatures AoE is off. I should not get knock down when I am an arms length behind them when their AoE is cast directly to their front. Many times I been outside of the red circles and still get hit as hard as I would if I was standing in the middle of the red circles. (Mind you no Lag was present I run the game at 57-65 fps)

And it wasn’t splash damage. I can see where the progectile landed, and if it was splash I should not taken the full blunt of the impact like it was a direct hit on me.

Why have the red circles on the ground from some NPC’s Seige? (Cantaur comes to mind here) I thought them circles where there to let us know to move OUT OF THE WAY, not move out of that circle and still get hit like I was standing in the circle. Here is a small list of what I think may need to get looked into. Feel free to add anymore.
Seige:
Centaur Treb
Risen Treb
Svanir catapults
Spectralist Catapult and Treb
Bandit canons
Drege canon

NPC’s AoE:
Ettin
Troll’s
Svanir
Ice Elementals
Drege Aoe

This also happens to me :
- i’m hit while outside a red circle (rare)
- i’m hit by various hazards (puzzle thing or rolling boulder in a dungeon)

It feels like some part of the game display lags on my computer, but randomly.

I’ve noticed this as well, there’s clear discrepancies between animations and damage calculation which is not good for a mmorpg based on action.
