So a few hours ago I logged in and saw my chars spasm in the charselect menu. I thought it was something that would be resolved by selecting a different character. No avail.

So I just logged in, assuming it had something to do with the charselect menu. While loading Divinity’s Reach, I saw the loading screen “yellow circle” move at superspeed (actual loading time unaffected ).

Upon entering the Human capital, EVERYTHING was moving at incredible speeds. Boon cooldowns were confused (timer spasmed around, going down and back up). I tried moving through different maps (queensdale – kessex hills) to see if it would fix anything. All I noticed is that I couldn’t move through the map portals directly. It took some time to port me, but got there eventually.

Somewhere during this experience I decided to record this for a couple of reasons:

1: it look hillarious
2: to show it around, wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this
3: to show that I’m not high and making up stories, and Anet might potentially consider looking in to this bug. If one were to discover how to reproduce this, one could do worldcompletion in one day… (well not really, you have barely any precision of movement, but you get what I mean…)

I posted the vid on youtube:

Sooo…. anyone else seen this happening?

inb4 “OMG HACKER”
I was sincerely surprised/confused with this. If I were using a hack, why the meow would I upload a video about it?

Interesting. It also appears that you were the only player on these instances (or they were really low population).

If you watch the vid carefully, you see that there ARE other players on every map I’m in.

Good to see Anet’s already on this.
Funny thing is, on the gandara FB page, people are trying to convince themselves that I just sped up the video or used some kind of program. lol
good to know there’s more evidence for this being a bug!

….so can this thread be removed? it’s prettymuch a copy of the aforelinked one.
thanks!
