Guild Wars 2

Skills not firing when pressed even tho’ there’s no apparent reason why they shouldn’t, usually when you most need them to.

Most often seems to happen in wvwvw but also happens in PvE.

Must’ve been mentioned somewhere before I’m sure, but so many posts & having just died again when I don’t think I should have (in PvE story mission that I’m well overlevelled for) just had to get it off my chest here.

Anyone else feels this happens too often?

This happens to me when there are too many players in one area (for example The Zerg in wvw or the dragon bosses in PvE). Game gets laggy and has trouble rendering. I just avoid the zergs.

I’ve noticed it on dodge rolls. I use the double tap and sometimes I have enough endurance, but nothing happens. Very annoying and deadly.

@Cyrus, you really don’t want to use double tap. You should be binding dodge to a key. Double tapping is incredibly unreliable and slow.

i think you guys are refering to, Lag!

Lags a powerful thing.

For the dodge: The dodge will sometimes get interrupted depending on the current attack.
For example: On my necro during the 3rd auto-attack animation, there’s a slight pause. If I try to dodge during this attack animation; the dodge will not happen. She may “roll”, but she will not go anywhere nor does she evade cause the attack “breaks” the dodge.

It’s a bug I assume and I’ve reported it.

As for skills not firing; that’s likely lag. I’ll get that during peak times and during big events with lots of people around.

So.. it should work when I use but doesn’t because of the lag beast…

Happens when there are lots of people around. No it isn’t lag, cuz if it’s lag it’s just delayed. When I’m in a massive Claw of Jormag event, my utilities often don’t fire at all.

Sometimes I know I ‘fired’ a skill .. but after all that happens it’s still available when should be on cool down .. really annoying!

What I find annoying is getting caught in the environment when I’m dodge rolling and still getting hit. Basically, the giant at the town of Nageling. There are times when I dodge roll to avoid his stomp attack only to get caught in the environment, not move anywhere and then get one-shoted (with my thief. Warrior is no problem since I can take the hits just fine).

This usually happens when I get caught in a pinch and hit my healing skill. The UI will show that I’ve pressed it (skill darkens and lights up again), but nothing actually happens. I could press it 10-15 more times and still no response. I will then get mauled. There is no evidence of universal lag (I can still see other players using their skills and moving around with no stuttering or backtrailing) as it’s happening.

I want to roll a Lag for my next PvP character, deadlier than a dragon on PCP

This only happens to me on my necromancer using a scepter.
