Guild Wars 2

1. Lightning Pull is completely bugged. It jumps way way further then the target. Not once did it hit the mark. Could not complete it today for daily.

Seconded. This skill has been broken for the very longest time.

All I can think of is that the skill is so ping dependent that if you ever so slightly fall outside the threshold it completely stuffs up.

It is 100% a replicable bug for me with 250-300 ping, however – it never used to be like this and back when sanctum sprint first came out it was never an issue for me to complete it.

I had no trouble using it as expected.

Lucky you with your nice, stable, low-ping connection.

Lightning Pull is known to be heavily dependent on a good network connection. Lag, especially spiky lag, will frequently make the jump either way too far or too short with the toon rotating in place. It’s the reason why I don’t do Sanctum Sprint anymore unless I need it for a Daily, even though I actually love the activity when things are fine – it’s just too easy for a network hiccup to turn this from enjoyable to utterly frustrating.

It’s a lag issue – usually happens worse when it’s Daily Activity Participant (as it is today) as it happened to me on the first race four times that i over-jumped a platform. It was happening whilst people were loading into the maps just after reset whilst I was in mid-race.

When it’s not Daily Activity Participant, I have no or near to no issue with it.

Yesterday was a rubberbandfest, and I had the map to myself for 5 games. This used to be my favorite activity, but with the imprecision of Lightning Pull, just finishing the race is often impossible.
