Guild Wars 2

So I have been screwed by character-lag multiple times in the past week. The first in a pvp match, where an enemy ranger entered the downed state and I stomped. The stomp completed, but the ranger did not die. I stomped again. Same result.

After stealing to the ranger, turns out his actual body was about 400-500 range from where his body appeared on the ground.

Again today in WvW, I 1v1d a necromancer with some terrible lag. He went down and I began to cleave his body, but got no damage. The screenshot shows the result of stealing to him. I stood exactly where the screenshot shows autoattacking and his character model (easily 600 range away) took damage. Cleaving where his character model appeared did nothing.

If there a fix for this? In WvW its not the end of the world, but this type of lag can swing games in PvP (not being able to finish off an enemy player and having them eventually get rallied). I hate to say don’t let players with bad ping enter competitive PvP environments, but it ruins the game for us with decent connection.

Roaming two hours later running into the same problem…

Time stamps of every individual problem involving the ele’s lag are detailed in the description

Use a travel attack to find them. Thieves can use steal, warriors can use rush, etc. It isn’t a proper fix but will at least help you find their location.

This is an old game bug where a player is not where the game shows them to be. I am sure most people have encountered the ressurection bug, where you are unable to rez a player that you are standing next to. The reason is that the player is not actually in that location and for some reason the game does not update it properly, this can be extremely frustrating in WvW for obvious reasons. Same thing occurs at random times when trying to finish an enemy, the option comes up, the animation is performed, but the opponent is not killed for some reason. Very annoying bug that needs to be finally fixed.
