Guild Wars 2

ok, this has gone on a long enough now I have to say something… not sure how many people have already reported it or not but it’s a serious bug which needs to be fixed!

When I teleport to a crowded or popular waypoint I can see everything going on around me but cannot move, or I move but the camera is STUCK at the waypoint.
I have to use the minimap to find out where my character has moved to, but fighting like this is quite hard as all you can do is tab target as you can’t see anything because the camera is stuck.

I’m not saying a few seconds lag, sometimes I’m waiting up to a minute or more before my camera updates to show me my character. This is quite ridiculous.
(sadly by the time I load fraps I’ve already been waiting for ages, but see the vids they still show the bug, look at the minimap!)

I have heard other people tell me they have experienced this also, so it’s not my pc but definitely a server/client related issue.

Please either fix this bug or at least acknowledge that it exists.

thank you.

Yeah, I’ve had this happen at Teq and the Shatterer. Strangely, never at Jorlag. I guess the wp is far enough away that it doesn’t have the loading issues.

i tend to have the same problem at LA and occasionally on Union waypoint at Malchor’s Leap. i didnt have this problem at Teq and shatterer tough

I’ve had this happen once or twice on both Teq and Shatterer too. It usually will fix after a certain point but a friend of mine had this happen as well and it never adjusted.

I hate to say it guys but I used to get this all the time … like basically EVERY single time I went to a the teq and kitten waypoints at event time as well as LA. I upgraded my computer and it has NEVER happened since. Heck I fought and killed TEQ AND looted the chest before I ever showed up on screen one time…. hell HE never even showed once. but everything was there and I just had to watch the minimap to see where I was.

I went from an old 1gb ati vid card on a 5 year old Motherboard with a 3ghz dual core cpu and 4 gigs running windows XP
to
1 gb nvidia gforce 550 ti on a brand new mobo with 4ghz 8 core cpu and 8 gigs of ram on windows 7

and like I said after the upgrade I have NEVER, not a single time seen the issue. so while you may say its not your system… I’m betting it is.

Darkorical, I’m glad you don’t face this problem any more but from the amount of players that have this issue (though this thread only shows a small portion) AND the fact my pc is a Intel Quad Core i7, 6gb ram, Nvidia GTX570 (4gb), on w7 64bit, going through a 60MBit broadband line, I doubt the problem lies at the client side.

(also this probably is linked to the PVE culling issues which anet have already stated are not the fault of the users, I’m merely shedding light on other issues it also now affects)
