skill activation delay??
Splatter Mcnasty
I'm STILL getting the skill activation delay that began earlier this week. Anyone else still experiencing it?
remmeh
yup... me too... interrupting as a ranger is hell now.
Caleb
I thought I was alone in this, or that it was my PC acting up.
Not enjoying the long que time of skills.

I have the same thing, about a 1/4 sec, maybe a little less delay.

zakaria
I thought that i'm the only one has this problem, i can't interrupt or make hammer or sin combo with this delay. 
Havoc of PhoeniX
Same for me, its getting rediculous now, i would have thought it would have been something they addressed immediately
Silent Kitty
Me too. It is hard to be spike healer, when every heal is delayed for at least a second or two.
King Kong
Barrage seems to be the worst for it! 
metalone
yea i still have it too, getting quite bothersome, had it since the UI update
morphium
Same for me.
NeVeRLiFt
I have this problem too, I also have the problem where monsters appear on my screen and we attack them but it shows my character or henchmen standing off somewhere else a little ways and attacking thin air.
This all started when they did the update that first shows the store.
I hope this gets fixed soon.

I was getting incredible lag/delay consistently last night... haven't tried it out today yet.
Twonaiver
i wish the delay was taken of, for god sake anet take the delay off, i cant even manage to heal my teamates anymore, my sin combo take twice as long to activate now, whats wrong with them, is this considered an improvement, bring the newkid back and shoot the one who had this idea ( you dont deserve to live dude ).
sad sad sad.

same here, not easy to 55
i thought it was just lag, then it happened all the time. then i thought "nerf"
possibly.. so i couldnt get healing breeze up in time and die from one stroke of the aaxte and never get an ecto. hah

TriXor
I experienced lag and delay's too, although it's acting recently normal now..
i even cleared the crimson Skull leaders in 1 go with a lvl 8 rit ^.^ (i think it's good, it being my first ritualist
)
maybe it has something to do with the nightfall test-weekend.
maybe their servers are whacky
or maybe the ISP's of all of us are having problems simultaniously :P (very improbable, but not impossible)

Asuka Raimei
same for me.
it is horrible to interrupt with my ranger.
I hope the dev's will take care of this (major) problem as soon as possible because our life is in danger... how could you infuse health to someone with such a delay
please Gaile !!! I don't want to die

wilebill
Yeah, me too. Already complained about the ~1/4 sec delay in another thread. This has to be fixed.
Lady Frost Bite
the delay is really bad still, it was most noticed last night when my guild did some GvG. our ranger couldn't interrupt heal sig, and it wasn't the rangers fault. it needs to be fixed asap, its throwing off major game play
eternal pho
It acted up ever since I Dl'ed that huge update.
Zonzai
Yes. I have skill delay too. (Besides my slow reflexes.)
Batou of Nine
i too have this skill delay. Seems it delays ALL my classes.
Another broken aspect of GW since the latest update. lolz

And here I thought it was just my Wi-Fi acting up...glad I'm not alone on this issue. Please resolve this problem Anet!!
Retribution X
Did they nerf all the interrupters now?
Please, Ms. Gray, Is this intentional, or is it lag?

All of my Guildies plus myself have the delay also. Maybe we have to buy new character slots to stop it.

I assume everyone is just referring to a delay in the skill going off. I think there's also a delay in the recharge as well. After it finishes recharging, it still can't be used for a split second. And after that split second, there's another split second to wait for the skill to execute. Its not very bothersome while playing as a warrior, but I can see how bad it can be on other classes. I think I'm gonna pull out my ranger to see for myself how bad it is.
Knoobish
No, they're most likely referring to lag. Which, I think is caused by Anet streaming me data during my GvG's or whatever other playing I may be doing. It's fun to lose to a ranger spike that a sloth could infuse because your monks have a 1-2 second delay on their casts...
Holoman
I have this delay too since the update from yesterday.
Ninetail Trickster
Delay'd here, too. >_<
-really- glad I'm not trying to use my mesmer right now.

I'm not talking about lag, haven't really had any for this PvP weekend.
I've seen lag, rubberband lag, attacking thin air lag, jump ahead & behind lag etc.
I play mostly casters with 1/4 & 3/4 sec casting spells, I don't chain, because its the surest way to get interrupted.
What I'm talking about is a delay that wasn't there before in activating any skill, it shouldn't take almost 1 sec to cast a 1/4 sec spell with no spirits or enchant/hexes. what I get is a delay between pressing the key for the skill and when the skill starts firing/casting. This is noticable with stances too, which should be immediate.
This is something that wasn't there before the first updates started rolling out tuesday or wednesday.

We have lost about 450-500 places in rank by losing matches from just sheer... lag... We found that our interrupts had to go out randomly and hope they catch something. Funily enough, I caught AoE, but missed res sig. There is just no control over it. Since it seems AN is unable to do anything about it at the time, we have had to stop gvg's for the weekend, or well, indefinitely, until this is repaired.
ilovecp
It is definitely NOT LAG. We can still walk around smoothly and everything but there's a delay when using skills.
ChrOnic_Seizures
Same here ...........DELAY im not playin till they FIX IT !!
NeVeRLiFt
Seems better today, I will test it some more and see how it goes.
shadowfell
Definitely lag. Lower fps, lag, and skill delays..and no, the new sound changes are not enabled on my client
Loralai
This isn't the normal actions of lag issues. The skills not only have delays activating, but they activate differently, and it's very annoying.
raven214
Haven't noticed the delay as much today, but man did I just hit some heavy lag in Droknar's Forge/Ascalon City (stuck in one place, no text chat/emotes/actions).

Anyone else notice how when in the middle of typing a long sentence, sometimes theres like a stutter and all of a sudden all your windows open, your char autoruns, because it registered what you were typing as in game commands and your input prompt has to be clicked back. o.o

Although I have been noticing the skill-delay since the UI update. I posted it in another thread, the one about the new update, the second I noticed it. It's definately a problem, though I haven't played tonight so I don't know if it's been fixed or not.
God I hope this isn't intentional!
BlackRecluse
skill delay, it sucks. sucks when your kiting and try to cast RoF when before it goes up, a warrior final thrust's you...
