Guild Wars 2

Fix the gliding not working whenever you hit space. I’ve read all the player ‘fixes’ for this and its not good enough. Fix it, Fix it now.

K thanks

Since you say you’ve read the player fixes I’ll just run this one by you briefly – have you tried just holding space from when you jump until the wings come out? (You don’t have to hit space a second time.)

I’ve found that helps me with early-catch issues.

ya.

Aw… that sucks. =/

I’ve run into the same problem. Holding space helps most of the time. Other times I’ve had to spam space for a second before it registers. Fortunately it’s only really screwed me once in the last week.

I don’t really think this is an issue at anet’s side, it happened to me a few times but that happened when i had some lagg, so my character keeps falling and eventually even hits the floor and when the lagg is open my glider opens (and i still live how high i even was)
Could it be the same issue for you? (my biggest problem is that I play on a laptop so that’s already a bigger chance for lagg)

What? You can hold space to open the glider at the first possible opportunity after jumping? And NOW you tell me?

How many deaths could I have avoided if I knew that…

Now I only need to remember gliding doesn’t work in Central Tyria and my character won’t be falling to his/her death every 10 minutes.

Oh, and the pit in the center of Tarir is murder. Almost always the first time I jump down the game stops and stutters (probably loading the areas below), and the glider fails to open, making me plummet to my death.

It is, due to the fact that the glider is checked server-side instead of client-side.

For a brief time we had the jump checked server-side, and it was one of the worst thing ever in the game, and they rolled it back.

There’s really no point in leaving glider use server-side, it’s just frustrating, especially for players with high pings.
