Guild Wars 2

So I was playing as a Ranger with 25% speed buff and had another player just go blazing by me while jumping. Even after the time a speed buff would occur this player was still moving fast and jumping the entire time. I whispered the person and they said they were lagging and it did not feel fast to them. I have to question where lag would give you an advantage in speed. I would think you would still be running at normal speed but maybe skipping around a little but never getting more distance than the speed would allow. This player was far ahead of me after starting well behind me. If lag can cause this I have played other games where someone can use a utility to cause their internet connection to lag and wonder if this could be a concern.

It’s a speed hack. You can tell by them appearing to “lag”.

If they suddenly jump forward a few meters, then this is because your client assumes they move with regular speed (and extrapolates their position of base of that), but they modified the speed in their client (and on the server), so their real position differs from what your client assumes. When the server synchronizes positions again, the position is corrected.

Funny fact about speed hacks: If they die while the position is not synchronized, your WON’T be able to resurrect them because you have no idea where their corpse actually is. If you try to rezz at the position where you see the corpse, nothing will happen because it isn’t there.

These things always happen to me when the game starts to lag. My friends have witnessed countless times when I “teleport” around from one place to another, and when I get rezzed but stood up at a place far away from my originally downed location. Being a ranger, I could tell where the game made me going(usually a corner of a room or some wall or cliff side) because my pet will follows where my character is actually going, and where I actually am client-side wise(because I can still control my character, just that the game won’t respond). So your claim isn’t all believable for me.
