Guild Wars 2

I first noticed this in Weyandt’s Revenge in Lion’s Arch. Entering the puzzle, sliding down the ramp my character reset position (a.k.a. rubber banding) a number of times before I finally slid into the puzzle cave.

I thought this might just be lag, but I have not had any issues with characters in any other aspect of the game. No problems with regular movement, or skill activation, or loading times.

I figured I’d try just sliding in general, so took a character to Rata Sum. While sliding down the side of the city, any time I hit A or D (my assigned strafe left/right keys), my character’s position would be reset to where I started the slide. I tested with other movement as well (forward and backward) and also reset my character’s position.

This position reset did not apply to a falling character. Just sliding. I’m not sure what the difference is in terms of movement, but my character was able to fall into the center of Rata Sum and strafe left/right and move forward and back without any reset.

Edit: p.s. This makes it rather difficult to enter Weyandt’s Revenge, my character’s position reset several times on the way down. Once, I got to the water at the bottom and was then reset back to one of the stalagmites at the lip of the slope.

I’ve had the same thing myself several times today trying to complete puzzles – it’s most disconcerting doing the same fal four or five times over before the spinning stops. And assuming the following is the same thing, it can even get very silly; on one occasion I fell all the way to the bottom in the shaft potion of Troll’s End and lay dead for 30 seconds or so on the rocks at the bottom – and as soon as some kind passing soul rezzed me, zap, I was back up at the top ready for another go.

same issue it’s not just sliding but ‘falling’ from heights in general. I will fall from yay high and hit the ground and take no damage until i move forwards, and sometimes it will rubber band as well.

Noticed this in the WvW Borderlands JP. The ledges on the inclined cliffside with two oozes on top are affected by this, making them unusable and the lower half of the key unreachable if you don’t have a skill that can leap from top of the cliff. You can slide down to a ledge, but if you try to move or jump while on a ledge, it rubberbands you back on top of the cliff, and you slide back down to the ledge, or possibly into the water below. This affects all the three ledges equally.

Captain Harlock.1568:

It’s possible that the reason I didn’t see an issue with just falling was because my test was in the center of Rata Sum. That is, dead when hitting the ground, always. I should have thought to test with non-lethal falls as well.

Yep, I’ve been experiencing this issue since the patch, regardless of character and location.

Sliding down, taking falling damage at the bottom, and immediately I rubber-band back up to the starting location and fall down again and take falling damage again. Its a pretty unpleasant experience!

A few times I have not taken falling damage at the bottom (when I should have), and rubber-banded several times before finally taking falling damage and then was able to get out of that awful rubber-banding loop.

The rubber-banding seems to be triggered by attempting to move (run forward, etc.) after landing.

I’ve also noticed a delay sometimes in receiving falling damage (in situations where I don’t rubber-band, like where I jump down from the edge of something but don’t slide down).

I have the same problem, rubber-banding on slides until i die, usually.
