Guild Wars 2

got ingame and within a minute I felt like my binds for strafe wernt working/sluggish/lagging/something. Well after observing my movement for 30sec trying to figure out what was going on it seems like strafe speed got speed reduction. I’m not sure if I’m imagining this, I play a lot of norn so its not that and I don’t usually run with speed signet or swiftness.

trying it now, it certainly SEEMS slower, but that could just be because as a charr it doesn’t play my four-legged lope animation to strafe. holding forward and strafe together seems as fast as just straight forwards.

Question 1) I am not qualified to evaluate your mental state of being with so little data to go on, but let us go under the default assumption that you are not crazy until more data is available

Question 2) I use my strafe keys all the time and have not noticed a change in speed. Granted over the past patch or two my running is somewhat choppy but that seems to include just plain forward running too.
