Lightning Pull stops half-way
No replies. I guess it’s a bug that started since Dragon’s Reach Part I. Submitting bug report then.
Issues with Lightning Pull stopping early (or overshooting) are usually lag issues. There’s not much you can do about it except hope you get into an emptier instance with less players around.
I’ve seen it happen in the past – most recently, during the Festival of the Four Winds. There’s nothing that seems to govern it, and it’s fairly rare (although when it comes, it’s usually multiple times)…. so I’m inclined to agree it’s probably a lag symptom.
It’s been a big ever since they first released it. It does seem to be lag related. And it always happens at the worst possible time. Ayeeeeeee….. ….splat.
Sometimes you over shoot too. The initial jump you are given to use it on in Dry Top – I have gone over the rock even though I targeted the rock. I had to WP because although I hadn’t hit the ground, I was on a part of the rock that wouldn’t let me jump back to it’s top (and you aren’t yet given an air crystal here).
I tend to hold W every time I use it. I don’t know if it actually does anything but it makes me feel better hehe.

I have had it happen a few times, but not consistantly. Like others here I attributed it to lag or some such.
Life doesn’t stop being funny just because the dead can’t laugh.
It’s a lag-related issue, it’s been known since the original Bazaar release, and ArenaNet really should have catting fixed it before introducing the crystals into the wider game.
To those who think Scarlet hate means she’s succeeded as a villain:
People don’t hate Scarlet like Game of Thrones fans hate Joffrey.
They hate her the way Star Wars fans hate Jar Jar Binks.

We’re aware of this issue with the skill, but I don’t have an update about when/how this might be fixed. I know it’s not an easy fix, or it would have been implemented with the Festival of the Four Winds. But I will raise the question about it again with our technical designers.
Thank you for looking into this Matthew. It doesn’t always happen to me, but it has happened more than once so it’ll be nice to get this fixed at some point (hopefully soon).
FYI, this bug has always happened since the skill has been implemented, so I wouldn’t hold my breath for any fix anytime soon… I for one live in a region with bad internet and it is VERY hard to use that skill at all, I always look for alternatives that don’t use it since they are more reliable, when I do have to use this skill, i usually die a bunch of times trying to get it to go to the right place, it’s like rolling dies…
Lightning Pull stops half-way, and I wonder what is up with that.
