Guild Wars 2

I’m noticing a large delay when first activating an ability (any ability) between the time I click or hit my hotkey to when the skill actually starts to fire of. In other words when the casting bar appears and the skill activates.

Anyone else seeing this. I don’t have any lag in the game and I have the game on maximum graphics. Plus my bandwidth is really good so I feel like this isn’t a client issue.

UPDATE: Apparently this is an issue in the Mount Maelstrom zone only. After speaking with other players in the zone and zoning in / out myself.

UPDATE: Apparently this is happening for folks in other zones. Not sure if it is world isolated or not. Tarnished Coast server.

Wasn’t an issue last evening.

Also on Tarnished Coast, and this is still happening. Using my ranger’s shortbow shows how bad it is. I’ve been playing on and off over the weekend and not once have I had a steady rate of fire. My character keeps pausing and then firing in spurts of 5-6 shots like I’ve got quickness on.

Surprised this is the only thread I could find on it when I searched for Mount Maelstrom.

Most likely just a connection issue rather than an actual bug. Whenever this happens to me it is usually followed shortly after by a disconnect.

I can confirm that I have the same issue, I played in Queensdale.

I had no disconnect issues. Just a constant inconsistency in skill responsiveness.

Hopped onto other servers to play with friends: problem gone. Came back to TC: problem returns.

i have this problem in mostly in WvW for specific skills.
