Loving the factions preview, but I seem to be getting some never before experienced lag of sorts. Mainly in the Isle of the Nameless and the PvP arena's. I keep constantly getting teleported back about 200m.
This is especially annoying in combat, where my target is close to death and I end up far away from them which gives them time to heal.

I know another friend who is experiencing this, anyone else had this problem?

Are you sure its not the Shadow Step skill?

Sometimes lag causes teleport but it returns you to your normal place in 1 sec.

I've been having this problem since I first got guild wars if it is lag.

lag will do that, but after like 3 seconds max. your problem sounds suspicislly like shadow step :d

I was running a friend through shiverpeaks last night and was getting lag like that. Maybe its just all the people on the free keys overloading the servers.

I've been experiencing an unusual amount of lag this weekend. But your description does sound more like Assassin skills being used.

I've experienced this odd teleporting also ... last night in the desert on my Ranger/Monk, I was fighting Sand Giants and all of a sudden I jumped about the equivalent of 4 red dots on the world map to a nearby dune burrower (away from my party, so when all the scarabs spawned they wiped me out

). It even showed a break in my trail on the world map where it occurred as if I used a desert teleporter, which I was nowhere near at the time. And clearly I'm not using shadow step. I do know that I had inadvertantly targetted the burrower by hitting tab and spacebar, but usually when I do that, I can just hit 'c' to revert back to closest target, without the unnecessary teleporting. I did take a screen shot of my world map as well, just so I know it wasn't my imagination...

Yes, this kind of lag exist before this event.

You can freeze for awhile, but on the Anet server you will still be moving.

Once you get to move again, your position will be all messed up as the postion in the server and on the client will be different.

Ohh, now I think I know what your talking about. Like how sometimes you jump to your path destination before you actually get there. The same happens to creatures a lot too. They'll pop up in my face then suddenly drop back a few feet. My guess its just the server overloading from all the free trials. By Monday it'll probably sort out.
