Guild Wars 2

So I’m not sure what’s going on here, but I’m experiencing a pretty gross issue with my glider (and to a smaller extent bounce shrooms). No matter how I attempt to open the glider (holding space or tapping space), I ’m experiencing at least 3 seconds of freefall before the glider opens, sometimes up to 5. This happens across all applicable maps and at varying times of the day. When the fall time is shorter than the delay on the glider, it ends up deploying after landing, again, 3-5 seconds after having input the command. So the delay is more or less constant.

Framerate and ping don’t seem to be the issue here; my average framerate is around 44 and I’m getting the exact same delay between input and execution at 230 ping (my usual), 550 ping, and 1300 ping. GPU is a GTX960.

I have also attempted:

• Restarting
• Lowering my settings to lowest possible
• Alts
• Mashing space
• Holding space
• Sobbing in a corner
• Ritual sacrifice (…okay not really)

For general exploration it’s not too much of a hassle but it’s made doing Octovine East a waste of time, and the the Jawatl Grounds Predator’s Path story step is completely impossible since the glider won’t deploy until just above the ground.

Regarding the mushrooms, I’m not sure if other people are having the same issue but they are only working for me sometimes. The times when they don’t work either the jump won’t happen at all or it cancels halfway through. Basically it’s acting like it works when it ‘feels like it’.

Just to reiterate, even holding space which is supposed to open the glider at the top of your jump, it’s not deploying until almost hitting the ground. So this really does not feel like a ‘practice makes perfect’ kind of situation. It’s just straight-up taking its sweet time opening. I’m sitting here watching other people doing it the exact same way I am and their gliders are opening straight away. The only time the glider is opening (most of the time) as soon as I input the command is during a long freefall.

Sometimes.
