Guild Wars 2

There’s been quite a bit of talk about a rubberbanding effect with certain skills over at the thief forums, in particular with shadowstep type abilities and leap skills.

One such example is in this thread:

Famine put an explanation in a post about why this is occurring and makes sense (towards the bottom of the thread).

Reason I’m bringing this up is because I’m starting to see similar rubberbanding with Judge’s Intervention. Several times I’ve paired Leap of Faith or Flashing Blade with JI often I go to my target and within a split second I’m back where I started. I even had it happen where I did this combo to get out of a zerg blob only to find that I’ve rubberbanded back to my death.

Is anyone else seeing this problem?

Yep, I see it often. Only in WvW though.

Since this content release I’ve noticed lag much like that of launch. Running solo I know when a enemy is near since you can feel the lag even if it is only one or two people on the map. It is significantly worse when a large blob of people pass by, friend or foe. No matter, the lag is there.

So whatever they did with this patch or infrastructure change killed performance in WvW. And no, it isn’t system related of the client. I didn’t have any of these issues prior to. Only when this new patch dropped.

I’ve been getting this too. Some rubber banding and the lag. I’m getting 60 fps (both in game counter and fraps) but it the image seems to stutter and gets worse big fights where my fps sits around 20.

It’s been insanely frustrating; I don’t see it as much as on guardian, but playing thief makes me dizzy, as I literally do not know where I end up at times.

Might be why my MB + JI missed earlier.

Yeap, happen to me most of the time in WvW.

I’ve experienced it with just using JI

I’ve seen it happening a lot more frequently since this last patch especially. I don’t think it’s a lag issue. I think it’s something to do with how teleporting skills work now.
