Guild Wars 2

Server side should and must always give priority to client side when dodging in PvE. kitten kitten es me off every time i am in mid dodge animation i get knockback by veterans or champions. Its a joke when you are doing a roll (not just starting but literally half way through) and bang you go flying. If its a Latency issue, then client side data should take precedent over server side calculations.

Never had such a problem – are you playing on the wrong servers or do you overuse your own download with movies etc? o.O
Do you permanently have that issue?

I am based in Asia Pac, so the servers I am playing are American. European servers a laggier. It doesnt happen all the time, but it happens about 50% of the time when i am going against champions solo. I havent even started mentioning about hits that are not registering. Eg. 100 blades on a champs back when he is literally right infront of me, but the hits suddenly registers when he does a instant 180 degree turn to face me and by then 75% have gone to waste.

btw, in our country, our internet downloads are unlimited. No caps.

I do think that it is a bandwidth issue you’re having there friend. It doesn’t matter whether you have unlimited download or not.

If you download anything while you’re playing, you might want to stop these downloads.

It’s not bandwith it’s latency. I have seen it starting to get more and more worse since they have been adding updates such as removing culling etc. Any time I use my flamethrower skill 3 to push enemies away and then fire the skill 2 (which fires a shot and you have to time it when it hits to explode it on them) I will 99% of the time miss them now because they rubberband back to me – not cool.

You have to expect that when you are on the other side of the world that it will take a split second to a second longer for the info sent from you to the server (and visa versa) to synch. Anyone who tries to blame it on bandwith/quality of pc etc obviously has the luxary of living in the country where the servers are located and never realise how bad it is for others outside. It’s just as bad on xboxlive playing fps’s, most in the US have no idea how bad it can be.

Your ping time (latency) must be quite high.
Try to do this, in game type “/ip”, that command will give you the IP of the server you are playing, then on windows run the command prompt and then execute the following “tracert x.×.×.x” , where x.×.×.x is the IP you got from the game, that command will send packets to the server and check the status of every step, if you get values over 300~400ms then one of the servers along the way must be having problems.

Also, you can’t have a good MMO where you have client side actions, the client must be basically just for rendering and animations, any action must be server side.
