Guild Wars 2

Employing the glider is instant for me and my friends now. (We have 300~ ping) We can even put it on and off rapidly mid air like the rest!
I’m not entirely sure what changed but I suspect it was changed to be client-based instead of server-based. Leaning is still delayed though, but that’s no big deal.

Thank you so much for this! This change made high ping users able to cross over some previously impossible gaps because we had some delay in employing our gliders.

One little thing, though. There sometimes appears to be a glitch upon landing that results in having the glider stuck in characters’ backs, preventing them from using any skills until they jump again.

++++++++++++++

It is like a different game, now. Soooo much better.

I want to add my big thanks to this as well. Having been a bit grumpy about what I considered a bad design choice, I really appreciate both the recognition of need for a change and the implementation. This makes the new maps a lot more enjoyable, fun and accessible.

Thank you.

Yes, I want to also say THANK YOU for this amazing change. Great add and will make a lot of areas seem like new.

Now all we need are guild races that can be setup by guild leaders throughout the world sort of like how GTA5 has custom races…that would be so much fun.

All that needs to be done is a WPish marker that can only be seen by guild members that work like GTA5 WPs…imagine gliding as a guild race.

This is the BEST thing that the developers did. Thank you!

How has it chanegd out of curiosity? My ping on avergae is about 290

I see no difference, what happened?

If you are not a ping-sensitive guy, you wont notice anything.

Before, your glider deployment has delay as much as your ping.

Now it is instant.
