Guild Wars 2

I noticed something odd tonight that I haven’t noticed before.

I can’t tell if it’s server-side latency related or what, but my rifle/flamethrower/elixir-gun skill cooldowns are rubberbanding. By that I mean as soon as I use a skill, after its recharge goes down a few seconds it goes back up a few seconds, effectively resetting the cooldown.

I have only noticed this with recharge reduction traits, such as Hair Trigger and Fireforged Trigger. I don’t recall those traits ever being bugged in the past.

If you can confirm this yourself please do, otherwise I’m not sure if it’s a server-side latency issue or actual bugs concerning Engineer recharge traits.

Haven’t noticed anything all night myself. Perhaps you have a different set of circumstances then myself causing you to have a bug, but I have never had the issue at all myself.

Good to know. Just to make sure, you’re using Hair Trigger or Fireforged Trigger? The skill it is happening for me 100% is Jump Shot.

To me it felt like some kind of server-latency or server-negotiation problem. The client was saying “I’ve used this skill now put it on 15 seconds recharge” and sends it to the server, and then the server after a couple seconds says “no it’s not, it’s 18 seconds recharge” and the client receives the override and sets the CD back to 18 seconds — as if the recharge trait wasn’t picked up.

I use hair trigger yes. Reinforced shield has some issues though. #5 skill does not get reduced cool down when you use the throw shield but it does if you just use the block. Uggggh, it so annoying.

I made a video documenting the bug that’s still affecting me:

Yeah, that is about as solid of evidence as you can get. I a hoping you have turned in bug reports on it.
