    If I fly somewhere release/quit flying sometimes when I do this after being up at 78 elevation, when I fall I land on thin air and can't get down do to rubberbanding. So have to pull out the wings....again so annoying.

    Walking down a hill ending up of the ground just a little almost get stuck (occasionally can resolve that without flying but not always).



    And there's too many more to list lol

    I was peacefully fighting mobs when I saw a big group of them.
    I climbed on a tree ( don't ask me how, it's really hard for us, archers, to climb on a tree, but after a whole 10 seconds of struggling to click on the 'Fly' button and to get on the the tree, I finally made it :x )
    I BoA'd and got the whole crowd of mobs on me o:
    But after they saw that they can't reach me and ran back and regened their hp b:cry
    I tried to jump on the ground but I kept on going back =x
    Had to call the fire brigade to bring me down to the ground D:
    I ain't climbing on a tree again :x

    Don't you just love when you're kiting a mob....and you rubberband right next to that mob all over again?

    -.- I'm so glad I'm playing FFXIV now. Not a single OUNCE of rubberbanding....

    Just you wait.
    No one can escape from rubberbanding.

    @GrimReaperHC.
    I'm pretty sure 911 operators placed your recording on YouTube when you asked for help 'cause you were "rubberbanding."

    @Waterfal.
    Squishy classes = Mobs' favorite food.
    (Pure Mag Veno, Vit Build Arch & Pure Mag Wizard.. trust me, i know so.)

    @TrixStah.
    I missed that event.
    But i would've probably died. Not 'cause of rubberbanding but due to the spam of unaware players saying: "OMFG! WTH?! HAX0RZ!"
    My PC would've overloaded with text wall and then go into WTFBOOM state.

    In Hell, running to Abaddon for Bounty Hunter;
    I'm running there on my Silvermane, almost in the instance, then suddenly rubberband back into a group of mobs that immediately debuff me and get me down about 1/4 my health. This happens again 5 times, resulting in me dying, each time with myself nearly in the instance.

    Was flying over to some quest mobs under water, cancel fly, started rubber banding, reactivated fly, and ended up flying under water 0_o

    I think the worst spot is if you cancel fly just after entering OHT and try walking. You can be rubber banding back and forth for ever there.

    Was one time where I was hopping along and rubber banded across the entire distance of Walled Stronghold (was at one side at the start of the jump, landed at the other side at the end b:shocked)

    Rubberbanding coming out of 2nd valley's tunnel in Lunar squad mode. (or was it 3rd)
    Took a bunch of Holy Paths to get out. Stupid.

    Overall this game has become annoying to play before getting wings, so my newest alts have not been enjoyable.

    Try cancelling fly over Nightspike Bloodguard. It doesn't matter if you rubberband or not, he always comes out to say hi. (:

    Think the worse place for rubber-banding is when you're dropping down to enter TT.

    You can pretty much keep falling or getting dragged back for about 10 minutes or til someone finds you and kills you lol - it tends to happened a lot at that spot. Its one of those things in-game that still gets me very pissed of, some dork keeps attacking and you cant do shiet cuz you keep falling down 50 times outside of TT. Than you eventually die from someone dealing less dmg than a mob >_<

    There is a few tricks you can do to avoid the rubber-band trap outside of instances, like double jump and fall down in a certain angles. But sometimes you forget and just randomly drop and you get stuck.

    Also Metal valley in Lunar Glade, just when you leave the bridge at start is freaking torture. If anyone been running Lunar Glade they would know what im talking about lol. Its about 3-5 places in that instance where you might even have to use town tele b/c you just give up.

    Falling down in the waterpond inside FB99 Abandon is also rubberbanding from hell, make sure you have a spare 5-10 minutes to run in one spot.

    Overall (next to getting randomly Disconnected), rubberbanding is the biggest cause of rage, exp loss, guardian angel loss and wasted time.

    Was farming Lunar solo mode when I got stuck rubberbanding. Can't fly in there of course; tried relogging and that had no effect. Tried holy pathing, lots of jumping and various other things. Town portal also didn't work. I finally had to use the "I'm stuck" GM option, after which I was ported out of Lunar altogether.

    The rubber banding issues in this game have certainly gotten to a point where it's such an annoyance I have turned off the game on MANY occasions before I allow myself to get grey hairs.

    It's alright for a game to rubber band on occasion - Not every MMO is perfect. Not every game is perfect, they each have their flaws. Big or small.


    The fact of the matter is the game rubber bands MOST of the time. Be it jumping from one platform to another. Or landing after flying. This interrupts both PVP. and PVE. (Try luring in a GV wave and get rubber banded back to the main room)

    I feel that none of the games creators have even looked at this. Everytime I have sent in tickets or used live chat I have always been blamed "oh check your integrity!" "OH reinstall" "your pc obviously needs replacing"

    My partner works in a government building as the top (and only) PC tech. He runs and maintains all the City Hall PC's, The fire department PCs and the Police Department Pc's of the area he works. He also makes and maintains the server they all run on. And if he can't get a simple PC to play PWI - Then I don't know how he is employed!

    We have over 5 Computer systems in our home. 3 laptops, and 2 Desktop PC's, and if each and every single one of them cannot play PWI - Yet can play games such as FF14 on max graphics flawlessly?

    I do love PWI, I love the community. Sure there's a lot of times the cash shop can really peeve me off. But at the end of the day I took this month to see how hard it was to really farm coin. And to be honest, it really isn't hard to farm coin on this game. Sure zhenning is easier. But this is a free to play game they need to profit some how, and as it's their game it's their rules.

    I wish however the game devs would put their heads together and really work on fixing the rubber banding issues. It has been a problem developing and growing for a long time and I think we all feel we're not being listened too.
