Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,

I main a thief and play a lot of SPVP every day.

I have noticed only over the last few days, occasionally when I down a foe in a match, if I cleave/attack them, (it’s faster and safer for me than stomping) one of two things will happen:

A) – I will be facing in the OPPOSITES direction of the target the whole time and no attacks will register at all

B) – I will be facing the correct direction but still no hits will register.

Please note that by not registering I mean it appears no damage is even processed at all, not like I hit them and the hit is registered but negated by blind or something.

I only know about the thief class really, so thought that this might potentially be a new skill for chronomancer spec or revenant class but none of my friends in game know of this and assure me it’s a glitch.

Does anyone else get this? (Again, has only started happening over the last few days)

Recap of what happens: I down a player, have no condi on me and no other players interfering, but when I go to auto attack or HS the downed player, NOTHING happens, and half the time my character will instead be facing the opposite direction. In this event if I try to HS them I go flying away in the opposite direction.

Any help would be appreciated – this has been ruining my GW2 experience over the last few days.

Yours Sincerely,
Ben (IGN: Koga Shinobi)

Most likely it is a connection issue when the player is going down and moving. Their body isn’t where it is showing on your screen, it is also a problem when trying to revive allies.
