Ghosts in WVW

[schlake.2718]

For some time now I have been seeing ghostly images in WVW. Always of friendly players. Usually near me. It almost seems like a phasing error, such as those that WoW made famous. Has anyone else seen this?

[Tinnel.4369]

Tons, enemies too.

Not the anomalous vision. Other players. It is like there are other groups in the same map and I'm seeing them briefly by mistake. It happens most often when I'm panning my camera around.

I have seen both ally and enemies and quite often on mounts.

[Vova.2640]

Something to do with mounts 100%.Every time I see this happen there is a mount too.

[DemonSeed.3528]

For me it's been happening for weeks already - I seen some with their mounts underground before or just appearing out of nowhere and blipping out of reality.

This bug was introduced with the mounts.

They'll fix about as fast as they fixed the missing corner sections on dbl garri.

i think this would be appropriate here and ywhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUYKSWQmkrg

To me it's only cropped up the last month or so, not since mounts dropped, but I could be mistaken.

[RangerThings.9810]

Agree, last month or so I see stationary mounted enemies. I'll unload some burst CDs to try to dismount before noticing they're about 5000 units away by then.

[Luranni.9470]

Yep last month or so, but not just mounted. Enemies/friendlies, mounted/unmounted... Just see flashes of them then gone. There is however a more "solid" desync ghost that is always mounted but you cant hit it. Seeing a lot more desync in general tbh.

What you describe is complete desync that takes quite a while to correct (on death is one way), happens on regular players as well. Often seen in downstate where you cant hit downed, or dollys you cant hit... Because they arent there, they are somewhere else. You can track them down with a projectile weapon.

The mounted ghosts just pops up a fraction of a second often in movement (such as a leap). Guessing this is the game somehow failing to know the location of the mounted player so it quickly renders the mount in the direction of the actual location before it corrects it. In fact I think its similar glitch to the planar zerg fireworks bug we had a while ago, just way rarer.

But thats just my highly untechnical opinion and interpretation, could be something completely different.

Those are the ghosts of the people that used to play the game.

It’s not just mounted players either. I’m seeing both, and sometimes using skills too, for usually about a split second.

[SnowMochi.7602]

If you're talking about seeing players that can't be clicked on and that disappear as soon as I blink, then yes, I see the ghosts too.

i made a report about that before with an unlisted video. seems like no action has been done. 3 or so months ago
