Okay, The Setting and plot:

So Ghial and a mesmer are on the bridge, And I'm trying to hack away at the mesmer.

2 Things, First of all, Without having any "The next Skill is interupted" hex on me, Not only Does the mesmer manage to block An Adrenaline Sword Slash, But also a 1/4 Spell... With another 1/4 cast spell (Sure fast Casting and Everything but COME ON! nobody has that sort of reflex, Even for an NPC thats just stupid)

So Anyways, My health was down to around 100hp, So I Decide to Sprint away.

I'm up on the roof, WAY out of agro (as you can see on the radar) And I am still being attacked.

And Suddently, at around 300hp, I just.... die. I had healing hands on me, So I was getting healed more then hurt. (unnatural does MAXIMUM 75 dmg on me, -25 from healing hands, so 50dmg)

This isn't the first time this happens. lets say i'm pulling (in a group, or otherwise) I select nearest Foe, Double click the foe, Start running towards him automaticaly and for no reason, stop.

Then Appear right next to him. Note that this is with a LongBow. For some reason it thought it was a melee weapon.

WTF.

Anybody else having these sort of INFURIATING problems. Easpecially on the one where you are not near any foe, AT ALL, and.... die.

As for the Degen, Yes, I had some, but it was equalized threw the mending. And no Mesmers or any foe has Any Strip Enchant in that area, which is why mending is so effective.

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Lag

Also you should all know by now that the AI has Godly Interrupt Skills and Speed.

Lag.. the bane of your GW experience.

Oh, and I feel for you, but you won't get much love because we can see your build..

Invinci-Wammo ftw!

I guess lag is the only thing that can beat HH & Mending Wammos.

Nope. Look at his DP, he has 28%... this would mean he was killed at least twice

Kusandaa · Nov 09, 2006, 03:39 PM // 15:39

Had that happening last night. Usually, when it happens, all my skills are delayed and whatever I say on chat doesn't appear until the end of the lag (where I end up with "Your message was supressed" yada yada). But these days, I've seen it happen even without lag O_o;...

So here I am, running a guildie from Ascalon to Beacons. I got up to a bridge, put on Shadow Form to avoid being frozen by golems and I start to run. I'm ALMOST at the end, where for once there weren't enemies. As Shadow Form is about to end, I'm hitting the Shadow Refuge button because if I use Death's Charge it's going to tele me to an enemy on the bridge, which I want to avoid because in 3 seconds I'll have 54 life left.

So I left my eyes from my skillbar, only to find myself being tele'd back to the beginning of the bridge, where all the enemies are waiting for me. I land where? In the very middle of the group. Body blocked. I use Death's charge to try to escape but no, puts me back in the middle. I recall hitting another move, but under -7 degen I lasted roughly 5 seconds -.-.

Don't have the screen >_<... think I was too frustrated to take one.

Lag is crazy some times - Its more than just the game freezing - sometimes the game continues on while you freeze lol.

One time I was Kurzick chest running, and was running past an Oni gropu that spawned, I hit Escape, but every ~3 secs I "rubberbanded" back to the oni spawn and they were attacking me the whole time and I could (in no lag real time) see my health slowly go down as my character was running-teleporting back-running-teleporting back til they killed me.

Extreme lag? They killed him twice before he saw it.

I have experience in this department. I once ran out of an outpost in Elona turned around and looked at the people in town before I zoned. Other times I just stomped into the ground by invisible enemies. Lag is my friend.

@Kha

That happened to me a few times when they did the preview to Nightfalls.

Khorrax · Nov 09, 2006, 06:47 PM // 18:47

Talking about extreme lag:

'You can call it the end of the world.'

**cosyfiep** · Nov 09, 2006, 07:00 PM // 19:00

dont know if you would call it lag, but

I was leaving the sunspear sanctuary...ran thru command post (I got no transition going into the command post) ran OUT of command post to the dessert (again no transition) and then it rubberbanded me back to lonai!

also while playing with a guildee on the starter island; were doing a quest and I ran ahead to a bridge......I tell my guildee (sitting in the room right next to me on a different computer) to hurry up, he says I am standing right next to you on the land, I say I am on the bridge, nope land, bridge....this went on for a few minutes.....he runs up the bridge runs around a bit and then BANG I am standing on the land back where he said I was....that was baaaaaaaad lag!

Lag is powerful.

Senator Tom · Nov 09, 2006, 11:12 PM // 23:12

Got lag?

Nevermind the plague, lag is spreading EVERYWHERE

The Fun thing about when I took those screens is that meanwhile, there where still people running out, and disappearing. I shouldn't have typed /stuck just yet, I should have gone and see how Far I could have gotten / explored.

Heavenly Warden · Nov 14, 2006, 11:50 AM // 11:50

^ Holy crap. Anyway back in the 55/SS UW days.. bladed aatxes would interupt prot spirit with savage slash and there both 1/4cast -.-

PanGammon · Nov 14, 2006, 04:25 PM // 16:25

I was once in Barbarous Shore and got boomeranged to the bandit guy over 25 times. I was so frustrated I punched my flatscreen monitor. Good thing it didn't get damaged.................

Mesmer in Need · Nov 15, 2006, 12:30 AM // 00:30

the gods of anet dont want wammos to win with hh so they make up this "lag" to kill you. gwen told them to. lag is like th wmd's in iraq

makosi · Nov 15, 2006, 12:50 AM // 00:50

It happens to me when I do a chest run.

I'll run past a mob in to the wilderness and still be taking damage from the mob I ran past then up to 30 seconds later I'll 'teleport' in to that mob. You'll notice that nothing else spawns as you progress because, as far as the server is concerned, you aren't really where you appear to be. Quite infuriating.

Covah · Nov 15, 2006, 01:23 AM // 01:23

Yeah you just have to type /stuck and you will tele out, its just lag like Senator Tom said.
