    Bump. The rubber banding issue seems to be resolved with the navmesh live patch. Thank you.

    But the super short char select timeout is still happening.
    This is a big issue for someone who swaps characters all the time.
    Client windows constantly just exit and crash now because it times out back to server select screen, then you have to re-launch it. Instead of a simple char swap, it becomes a crash/exit, relaunch, re-login, reconnect, then select char. Typing in a long complex password while trying to frantically re-log in makes you typo it, so that adds more frustration. A simple 30 sec camp and 5 sec char swap becomes a 2 minute endeavor, and sometimes the client window freezes when you get to char select screen so you have to exit and re-launch it again, etc.

    From a user impact point of view, this is probably the worst 'nerf' in years. It's killing me. Please help.

    Yup.
    There is no practical way to create a shortcut via /ticket, because which game char resides on which game account, vs which client window is used to play that char, changes about 20 times per day, so I have to manually log in to each client window for each game account.

    Seems like you need 27 shortcuts. 1 per window per game account ignoring your trader.

    Sounds like a good reason to switch back to navmesh.

    bump, this also has consequence of people getting booted at Character Creation.
    If they take longer than a few mins to create a new char, it times out and boots to sever select screen, so maybe worth looking into?

    [Sat May 01 00:09:16 2021] Halfelfmerchant tells Alliance:1, 'every time I try to create a new toon I get booted. I think the universe is trying to tell me something'

    Yea the character select time out is pretty brutal. Timed out thinking of a super cool name. Then had to go in there and quickly put it in again.
