Wayfaring causes the 'go prone - warp' bug. I think this is somehow connected to the idea that after +50 in the skill that enhances your run speed when negotiating hills it starts affecting your crawl speed. Untraining Wayfaring solves this problem, at least it did for me...

Hopefully the devs will use this informationbefore they add dual wield and holsters to the pistoleer, hah!

Well, that makes sense. I didn't notice the bug until sometime after getting Wayfaring, but prior to that I didn't use a rifle and go prone either, so I didn't make the connection. The bug is making me want to stick with the pistol, but I'll try to be patient for a fix. Hunting with botha rifle and a pistol is fun.

is that what causes it? i coulda sworn i had that problem before i went to ranger, but maybe not. anyway i guess thats another ranger issue to add with the cover skill problem we have =(

I have only novice, and the first box of frontiering, and I just started doing this. So not so sure it's connected to the wayfaring branch.

Not sure that's the cause. I've had wayfairing for quite a while and the bug only made it's appearance a few days ago.

Riflemen complain about this bug all the time, and they don't have wayfaring

I've had this bug since almost day one. I've since found it useful at times(get that extra free shot in before the backwards warp)however, on the few occasions that I was sent warping forward, I was not so lucky. Since not everyone has this problem (I'm guessing) I'm thinking it might be some type of lag issue. It doesn't do it everytime, but it does seem to happen a lot. I've not heard the DEV's talking about it, are they aware of the issue?

We crawl so fast we go backwards!

Perhaps it's somehow related to the rifleman profession. I haven't had this problem until I finally made enough camp xp to become a ranger. This bug is quite annoying and I hope this will be addresses soon.

I started a brand new character on another server and haven't prone-warped once however hard I try. I wonder if the Riflemen affected are all advanced scouts? It does mesh rather intuitively with long-distance sniping.
