Who else is experiencing a skillbar "delay" of about 1/5 second? This happened btw since the new UI update on Thursday. Interupts, Stances, practically everything seems affected.

This is making PvP for one thing a hassle. It's hard to even interupt a 1 second caster. Lot's in high level PvP are having this issue. Please discuss.

It may be as much an issue of graphics as it is a lag issue. I've noticed that sometimes when I click to interrupt a skill, that skill continues "casting" for about another half-second, but often still gets interrupted. The enemy skill display looks full, as though it has been completed; but it has failed--it's actually been interrupted.

ive noticed the lag as well with the past update

IT seems to take a second or two longer for skills to activate or you'll have to press them again on your skill bar, was never like this before

Yeah, makes my job as a healer hard when you hit a heal skill and it is delayed by half a second. Considering they are already 1 second cast it's hard to use healing prayers now. And sometimes, nothing happens at all. I thought it was my keyboard acting up, but it's fine in other games. In Guild Wars I hit the number keys and nothing happens.

Noticed it too.

Worse for me is when my keyboard randomly cuts out and no longer responds. I used to have to physically unplug and replug it back in. Now I have it connected to one of those 'multiple computer control with one keyboard/mouse/monitor' and I just hit the change button 4 times to fix it, way faster for PvP times. Oddly, it only happens in GW.

Also when you type a message sometimes
it takes about 2-3 seconds to show in the chat box might just be me and my lagg but i hope not. I too have played GW less due to lagg.

I believe the problem is solved with a very mysterious update, a few hours ago

Well hot damn!!! I was getting this off and on all last night and some of the night before. I thought it was me doing something wrong.

Last night I did 2 TOTPK runs as a B/R and Im like clicking Barrage and its not doing anything - no noise, clicking sound, glow/emissions, etc. I checked to ensure targets aquired, change target, move about a bit...nothing helped.

A real pain.

that happened to me for a short while, but it stopped for me like a month ago. The actions of my character were delayed by a second, but the actual skill performed as usual.

And here I was thinking that I've gotten crappier on my monk when I got beaten to death by every hammer warrior I encountered during the weekend. I usually do get a Reversal up somewhere in between the hits but nope, not anymore.

Of course I may infact be a crappier monk now, but I like to blame the delay so my pride hurts less.
