Ive been having this problem for quite some time now and i have waited to post on it hoping that it would go away or get patched out etc...However, im still having the issue so i thought its about time to post about and see if anyone else i having same problems and if there is a fix for it now or in the coming future.The sync problems can be noted when trying to use combat arts, reaction arts when tradeskilling or even in the behaviour of both other players and non-player characters when out adventuring.The problem with combat arts and reaction arts that ive noticed is they stey black longer than they should be as if they are in a state of 'not ready' even tho when you click them, they activate as normal. And not only is it the black wave that covers over the hot bar buttons to tell you whether they are ready or not but also the timer you see when you hover over a recently used button. The timer may still quote that there is 3 seconds left before you can use that ability again but you click it and it uses it anyway.Once youve played your character for long enough you get a feeling for the timers of each ability so i know roughly when something can be used again but its still annoying to see the [Removed for Content] things just messed up.As for player and non-player character movements, the easiest way i can think of explaining this is as far as the server is concerned people are not where they are on my screen. So when i think im standing in the middle of a group of friends, really they have already run off after the next mob 2 seconds ago and my client is will have some sort of delay in showing me this so i think i am keeping up but on everyone elses screen i was standing around not doing anything for ages and suddenly running and catching everybody up as if i was afk.This particular part of the whole 'out of sync' scenario has to be the most annoying because i play a zerker as my primary class and end up tanking quite a bit. When i run up to near a mob and taunt it and pull back, on my screen the mob i have agro'ed stays where it is for 2 or 3 seconds before running over on my screen however i know that in reality it has actually followed me by a few footsteps because all my close in combat arts still work as if the mobs is standing in front of me.Anyway, this post is getting quite long so i think ill leave it there and see what everyone else has to say on the matter. If you need points cleared up a bit further please ask and i will try and explain certain areas clearer <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
