Wondering, are Heroes only available to people with Nightfall? It's been nagging at my mind for a while.

Another one. What exactly causes rubberbanding? I have had ping of around 100, and I still zap from the cap shrines back to the starting gates in ABs.

you have to have nightfall to have access to heroes

rubberbanding is from lag on your computer, server, and/or connection. basically your computer will show graphical changes that the server hasn't registered yet so when your computer and the server finally do sync up, it goes to whatever is on the server.

If you ever find yourself running and thinking "I'm sure there are usually monsters here" ... then "teleported" back to where you were a minute ago...that's "rubberbanding". Either that or you've been playing with a rubber band whilst playing GW and accidentally twanged youself in the eye

Either that or sometimes in my case: When I am running and I my character starts to swim in a crapload of red damage numbers when there is NOBODY around!!! To think that I was getting ready to zone and get rubberbanded and bodyblocked into a mob. Yeah, usuually it's a sad fate.
