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.
Skillbar delay / lag - Interupts, etc

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

I havent played GW in the past two to three days, due to the lag. Its made the game almost unplayable!
Oh well, guess ill just go off and play other games until nightfall is released..

Beyond lag...sometimes my skills won't work at all....no hexes or enchantments involved....It's like: *hits Dual Shot...ummmm...*hits Dual Shot....hmmmm....*switches target, hits Dual Shot....MASHES DUAL SHOT....dies...NO animation, no nothing....several skills....stances, attacks, etc...

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.

played yesterday and thought it was just me.

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.

No difference besides my usual .sg->us server lag..

My interrupt ranger has no problems at all.

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

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.

It's not solved for me, i still have it.

No problem for me, since after the weekend.

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.

I was just getting into monking before this kicked in.
Rathcail
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.

My skill activations seems to have a 3/4 sec delay. Messages appearing in the chat box seems to have no problem at all though, but interupting is hell for me.

I don't know if it's fixed for some ppl, but for me it ain't yet.

the lag pre-event was terrible!! I could not even play it was so bad.
I have tried it since and the lag is still there, but not quite as bad. My lag now is about 1-2 seconds down from 3-5 seconds. My main char is monk and it is impossible to do my job with that sort of lagg.
Hope this get fixed soon
not too thrilled with the new color scheme either.

yup experiencing skill activation lag also.

um.... apparently I've had times where it didn't just lag; zero responce.
I mean, I tried clicking on my skill bar, while I can see everything going on... I am moving fine. The damn thing wont respond until 5 seconds later; on screen it looks my cursor is clicking on that skill, but none of that "thumbnail" effect. The thing I noticed is that this is more frequent in highly populated areas; like when I did AB.

Yeah, Soul Feast let my necro down several times in the city today. By the time it kicked in, he was already flat on his face.

I'm going to chime in here - either the interface lag got worse today or I just started noticing it more. I was playing my warrior earlier, I'd tab to a new enemy, hit space, then hit a skill or two and the skills wouldn't trigger. At times I wouldn't even attack the enemy, I just run and stand next to them.
Something sucks about this new interface.

My skills weren't activating several times last night. Only leaving the match fixed it. Luckily it was just RA.
What happened was, I was hitting the number buttons to activate my skills, and saw the flashing circle effects on the skill icons that mark an activated skill, but nothing else happened. I was apparently the only one affected in those matches, judging from how fast I got killed every time.
I've also heard some people complain about it in-game.
Annoying.

Has anyone from ANet acknowledged any of the problems that have appeared since the preview weekend yet?
prism2525
I sent them a ticket but so far I could have asked the wall for all the answers i got.
Also I noticed that it doesn't affect just skills, but also movement keys. Maybe it's just mine but my char starts moving 1/2 second after pressing the cursor key.

Last night was even funnier....kept hitting skill and the animation for a regular bow attack would reset....arm forward/arm back....looked like I was playing the violin....quit mashing the skill and regilar bow attack would resume....only preparations worked....no shots
Kruzing Low
dont know if it will help you guys, but i uncheckmarked wait for vertical sync and lowered sound quality to the lowest possible, and im running fine again
its either those 2 things or the lag was fixed in that update this morning
