Guild Wars 2

Lately I’ve noticed that a lot of times if I attack players or something like a moving supply dolyak in melee I will get spammed with ‘miss, miss, miss, miss’. If I use targeted movement skills, or ranged weapons, they fire at_its true location. In the case of the supply dolyaks at least, if it should die, the corpse teleports to its true location.

Another example, which even occurs in PvE, is downed or defeated players. Occasionally I will try to revive someone, and my character will turn to look a certain way, but not do anything. If I can walk a little in that direction, but still close enough to where I see their body to use the revive option, I can start reviving them. They then teleport to their real position and get up.

So my question is: why, if the client does actually know their true location, do they not appear there?

edit: so I hear the filter around here breaks common English speech. Who would have thought it.
