Dodge jump fails at random

[Drakonhammer.2148]

I'm not 100% sure when this problem arose, but dodge jump seems to outright fail 10% of the time, often several times in a row before working again many times in a row. I don't remember having this problem before - it occurs both with manually dodge jumping (hitting space + dodge with my thumb or hitting simultaneously with two different fingers) and with a dodge jump macro (which I don't recall ever failing before). The times when it fails my character simply performs a normal jump despite having enough endurance. With manual dodge jumping I can understand this happening, but it's happening with macro too. My ping is mostly <50 (EU).

Did something get altered that affected the reliability of dodge jumping?

Are you noticing this anywhere specific, my dodge jumps have been successful 99% of the time, apart from dailies I’ve been doing nothing but sab normal and trib and if mine were failing I could garauntee I would notice, maybe it’s not working in a specific part of the game.

Don't have any issues when dodge jumping manually. I'm farming Tribulation Mode a lot, so I'd notice.

Even if your ping times are OK: Maybe you experience packet loss and part of your input gets dropped...?

No, only that it tends to kick in more often if I haven't dodge jumped for a few seconds.

sounds like lag maybe

I have noticed them failing on occasion as well. The servers are subpar, causing a variety of issues during this year's SAB. :/

@reapex.8546 My ping is <50ms though, unless it's some quirk with EU servers. @Rayti.6531 might be right that it's packet loss, but it's weird that it's centered on dodgejumping and not general GW2 gameplay.

Do you use TACO, perhaps? I find that it interferes with my macro for dodge-jump that I set up on my mouse. It fails 50% of the time when Taco is running.

Hope it's okay now.

That's interesting, I never heard of this before. Thanks for sharing.

can't confirm that. it fail without reason 50\50. ping 60, no packets loss.

Same here. Never had any issues before last year's SAB. 😕

It was a year ago that I left that post. It might be that the issue was caused by something on my end. TacO has been updated multiple times since then, anyway, and I haven't experienced anything like it that was caused by TacO.

However, I bind dodge and jump to a single button on my mouse. When I bought a new mouse recently, it came with Logitech G Hub. Setting up the dodge-jump in that had me fail most of my attempts, whatever I did. I uninstalled G Hub and reinstalled the older app, Logitech Gaming Software, which is not updated  anymore, but its Multi Key function gives me 100% success at dodge-jumps.

(Disclaimer, in case you are not aware of this: It is technically a macro, but it's allowed as per ANet communication.)
