Flag Cap Bug (?)

Today in a wsg healing the FC alliance side on my p2p resto I came acros what seems to be the "old" flag cap bug.

The FC was on capspot but unable to cap flag. This used to be a problem some time back but in my memory it was repaired.

In this case the FC was a f2p druid in bearform (I think resto not 100% sure). FC was standing on capspot as our rogues killed the EFC. A shaman managed to repick the flag as our FC stood on capspot. (EU English realms btw.)

Has anyone else come acros this (rather anoying) bug lately? Anything that makes the chance of it hapening more or less?
 
This has been happening occasionally on US at least since 5.4's release and nothing's changed so far. In my next report I'll include that EU is having the same problem, would be great if you did the same for US
 
It still happens from time to time, but only on horde flag spot........not as much as before but it still does occur.......EU btw....

Just like the speed buff inside the tunnel.
 
This has happend to me 3 Times, but ive also got a positive cap bug once, the score was 0 - 0 i was standing With flag at cap spot and so did efc, when the bg ended none of us had died but i still capped xD
 
Hi

Happened to me a couple of times recently. Didn't make too much difference, luckily.
 
Often happends when u cap with devices such as speed boots in tunn, rocket jump, displacer etc.


Edit: Simply walk to middle of FR and back to cap and it will be a cap.

Aye, seems to happen a bit more often when you're under the effects of a speed boost from my experiences aswell.
 
I read recently that jumping forces the client to update the server of your physical location. I have zero clinical evidence that it's true, but if it made a difference in winning a game, it's worth a shot.

I also had occasion recently to have two different characters on two different accounts loaded up on two different computers sitting next to each other. Seeing the actual delay between when one character moves, and when the other character sees the first one move, is eye-opening and disturbing. It's a wonder we get anything done.

I'm not sure what you mean about the broom part, can you explain? One of the features of the broom is that it is instant cast. I've never had to jump to make it work right away. Maybe I'm not understanding what you mean.

If you are inside then go outside it's like casting travel form it doesn't work right away, but if you jump so you land outside or after you get outside u can cast it right away, same with travel form.

Oh okay. I never noticed that happening. I've always been able to cast as soon as I see the minimap change to the outdoor view. But yes, I can see how the jumping technique would help in instant mounting when in lag situations.

Imho it was never repaired, it's just extremely intermittent.


I think it happens more to druids but that might just be me. I have had some success with shifting while off cap and running back on, but then again it hasn't happened to me in a while.
