I dont know what the deal is. Im new to the game so this might even be the norm. The goblins that I have been grinding on all seem to either be speedhacking or there is some major lag going on. They jump all around the screen to the point I cant even cast spells on them unless they are in my face. Is this normal?

I've had problems with mobs bouncing all over the place too, pretty much just over the past couple of days. A few of us were talking in vent about it last night. Probably just some lag that Aventurine installed with the most recent patch. You know, just to make things interesting.

No its not normal. Whats is your fps / ping sitting at. And unless you have the beast of a computer all shadows need to be off.
