This is a known issue and it should have been fixed recently. Seeing as this thread was started on the 28th it could have been fixed already(yeah for days off, when I don't catch these things :( ).

Thanks guys,

Yesterday a friend told me
"hey wait ! I can't follow u, u run so fast ! How u do this ?"
(He was in run mode not in walk mode... ;-) )

So we checked our speed % and we were at 100% the two of us..

So I ask him about his computer and he told me what he has...
It seems he have an older comp than me and a dsl line slower than mine... so I think it's the fps who change the diff run speed we can see on each other (I'm not talking about the % value....... ;-) ).

Damn... So, if this is right the result is : PVP player with higher engine with same skills and lvls should win ?



Forgive me about my bad english typing... My primary language is french ;-)

I had this bug once, never got more than a few points over 120%. I THINk it has something to do with getting slowed, and when you UNslow...it over compensates...umm a little bit LOL.

running speed doesn't depend on you char lvl. I almost won the "run around pyr" event a week or so ago .. I was lvl 15 ..

I ran in first position untill some gingo caught me.

Just a guess: maybe running speed is based on you own computers hardware (like processor speed, ...)

Definately was a bug that got fixed as far as I know since the last patch. I have a P4 processor 3.2 ghz and a X800xt radeon. Its not the computer speed. I had 120% bug for a short while and it disappeared again. Sometimes i think I run slower than 100% now even though it still says 100%. I really wish it was tied to dexterity, or that we get that mount patch soon cause running anywhere is a pain currently. PS. I hope that mount flies...

Yes it was a bug. It had to do with getting a slow malus from two mobs at once. Ie tag teamed by gingo's. They would both hit you with slow ... the system would register it as such but only logged it as one slow state as it should. When it cleared however ... it cleared both of them resulting in the speed boost.

Looking at it from numbers ... normal 100 ... get slowed 80 ... both clear 120. After a few such incidents it multiplies upon itself.

They cleared 99% of the time when you logged out for the night.

Ahh that explains it, I bet it also happens when you get slowed from having been hit in the feet. When multiple mobs do that I bet it causes the same bug.
