Rubber Banding

Known issue for a long time, despite recently becoming worse than ever. I highly doubt the devs will ever consider fixing it.

srry for asking, but what is 'rubberbanding' ?

b:surrender im not one to moan about general glitches and stuff devs do, but i do have to say this rubberbanding is getting stupid now.


Llike i was afking at top of west gate like i do, i see someone i wanted to kill out sz, i jump down and spend the next 2 mins bouncing up and down and not moving atall... and he got away b:angry

Are you kidding me? Rubber banding is an integral and important part of this game!

Yes it is, it's supposed to prevent hacking and stuff. Maybe it got worse on chinese servers so they tweaked it and made it more aggressive. Just trying to be realistic.

The dxdiag actually WILL help them with it and they need it to have any chance in locating the issue because if you try to fix a bug you need to know ALL the given circumstances.

It is the first thing you learn as a game tester.^^
And if you want it fixed you could kindly take 5 min of your time and help them locate the issue by writeing to the support like Heartstone and send them the requested dxdiag.^^

Resist roll: passed!b:victory

No a dxdiag wont help.
its happening to everyone, so how would a dxdiag from one user with a single set of information help them?
They need to fix it for everyone, not just that guys setup.

It is a fundamental issue, I mean - there are plenty of things wrong with the game, but rubber banding is actually an issue with MOVING, which lets face it, is the most fundamental/ basic/ important part of the game - in fact of any game like this.

And yes it has been worse than ever before. sometimes I just band right in the middle of the sky, and have to re-activate my wings to fall down! The other day I banded back into a hand circle in TT and died! If you are at ALL fixing bugs, I think this should be your #1 priority!

yeah i noticed today that for the 1st time in a while i had some hardcore rubber banding going on, including one session that lasted like 5 mins, on the bright side, the whole time it looked like i was humping this chicks cleric so i actually laughed most of the 5 mins b:chuckle

Only way to avoid this is get your flying mount as close to the landing ground as you can and then hit the fly button to land. You won't glitch... for now....until they **** it up more...

I rubberband, anywhere now.

I used to only get it when I landed on top of NPCs from WQ and such, but now, I get it from rocks, buildings, even jumping around alot.

You're a big fuzzy barb. Tis why. b:chuckle

Altho rubberbanding is a pain in the butt when kiting someone or something it does provide a bit of entertainment

for example, getting rubber banded at 78 Height

this is funny as hell especially if you open a Vendor at that height

rubber banding is also helpful against assassins, you get stuck in the air just stay there, it'll for the assassin to fly, thus nerfing his dmg and making him prone to other people to attack him

Alright guys, let's see your systems.

Also, where in the world are you? Who is your ISP?


Dxdiag info:

1) What is the make and model number of your computer?

2) Please also tell us whether you are running a 32bit or 64bit version of Windows. You can find out in Windows by going here: Start > Control Panel > System & Maintenance > System. Then look under System > System Type. It will then display 32bit Operating System or 64bit Operating System. Include that info with the info we ask for below.

3) To create a dxdiag log, go to Start, click on Run, then type in dxdiag and press Enter. Click on Save All Information as a text file (on your Desktop as an example.
If you are using Vista or 7, go to the Start Menu, click on the Search menu and type dxdiag.exe.

4) Copy and paste the top half of your dxdiag into your forum post (that means 50% of the text). If you have Vista, please take out the (TM) (the trademark symbol) out of the text file, as the forums will cut it off and won't display the rest of the text.

If you have a 64bit system, please click on the 64bit Dxdiag/DirectX button to save the correct log file. This is important so that we can help you find the right software for your system.

We'll take a look at it, and offer our advice (or our super cool and helpful community might beat us to answering things for you).

Well im just a trainee game designer and a tester, my hubby is a game programmer and this bug is not something you can fix easy.

A friend runs PWI on Windows XP and has way less problems with rubber banding. It isnt gone but its only half as bad as on my PC and i run it on Vista.
She also has a very diffrent network connection and setting but i dont know the details.
So far your system info is never useless for bug fixing.
Only because it shows itself as a moovement problem it can also be a problem with how lag is handeled. Im sure alot more but like i stated im not the real expert, also i didnt programm PW, which kinda means i have no clue, just like some others here, so i guess i have to trust them that the info they ask for is the info they need or it atleast helps them. :P

I just send the support ticket. ^^

Sorry for my bad english.

Hundreds of people can't be wrong...oh, wait, this is PWI. Guess they can.

Are you guys seriously gonna ask for and review hundreds (or thousands) of dxdiag logs and submit individual solutions rather than admit the patch before last screwed the pooch and do something about it?

Fix the computers one by one instead of fixing the game. Now THAT makes sense.

They've actually tried to pass off that the rubberbanding was put in to stop cheating/hacking b:chuckle
