Guild Wars 2

Vaerah.4907:

GW2 has not it, so a guy playing on a fast connection will outpace who is on a slow one.

I won’t argue that a fast connection can lead to someone being able to outpace a person on a slower one. That is a fact. I would argue however that the difference is minimal (in general) and is nowhere near the problem that some people would suggest.

OP, I’m from Oz too and also play an elementalist. I can’t say I’ve noticed this game being any worse than any other MMO I’ve played before when it comes to fighting the ping that we get here. I think if you’ve done alright in other games, you’ll do fine in this one too.

@ Leiloni, the delay is nothing like you suggest. The difference is fractions of a second.. not “a few seconds”. It is like the difference in twitch skills between a 15 year old and a 40 year old. Whilst combat is more active than other MMO’s, it is not like it is as twitchy as some FPS.

I have this problem with my G13 with all games ported via Cider. I first noticed it with Warhammer Online. It is an issue with Cider, not with GW2 as such. Not much that can be done about it other than to bind keys without relying on modifiers.
