This has happened to players with high pings since they added the skill in Bazaar of the Four Winds (9th of July, 2013.) It also affects other movement skills, Teq jump pads etc.
At this point it would seem that the way they made the skills work isn’t compatible with high pings and they aren’t going to bother changing it.
I don’t lag when I play normally at ~320 ms ping and I don’t usually lag while doing activities (I don’t play these when lagging anyway).
320 ping is pretty slow, and lightning pull seems to be very susceptible to lag. It works fine for me at 60 ping but over 150 all bets are off.
Yes, I do understand that its very high compared to what people in US gets but I suppose what I am trying to understand why I don’t lag in other areas but in this thing. Doesn’t bouncing mushrooms work in the same as this and they are always perfect even when I am lagging.
Bouncing mushrooms do lag, it’s just that they instead have a delay before launching you (which makes the fallen masks adventure particularly difficult on higher pings.) Lots of normal targeted leaps like vault also tend to travel a shorter distance if you have a high ping.

Apparently it’s been 966 days since the skill was first added, I’m not certain the 9 days since the OP will have had much of an effect in terms of the bug being fixed.

What I meant to say regarding bouncing mushrooms is that they don’t displace the player from the intended landing place even while lagging.
And yes, I am aware that this bug has existed since mid 2013 but I will keep trying to keep this thread in front page hoping one day it’ll get fixed. One can dream, right?

Hi, will this ever be fixed?

Well, I wouldn’t hold my breath hoping for something to be done. I have lost the count of how many times I got frustrated by it and how many threads about it has been already created.

Yes, that’s a curious fact I had even pointed out in another thread. The issue isn’t directly tied to lag (although it can be affected by that yes). I have had issues even with reasonably low lag. Also, why does Bouncing Mushrooms and other jumping stuff work almost flawless? I have never had issues with Bouncing Mushrooms or Jump Pads but that skill had been a real pain in the “there”. It had been having issues since it came out back on 2013 but it got a lot worse last year.
Here is even a recent thread about it: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Sanctum-spirit-is-unplayable-for-me
