Hey, i've just made a character and tnered the tutorial. Im stood overlooking the chasm and told to cross it, so i do, and then i try attack one of the creatures. Nothing happens and i immediately get teleported back to the spot i was in when i entered, overlooking the chasm.
Im on 30% of 'Stage 3' too whatever that means.

When you say teleported do you mean it just cuts and you're right back where you started? That sounds like lag. You probably want to wait for more of Stage 3 to download.

Yeah thats exactly it.
Okay thanks, i'll wait till it's finished then try again.

The game downloads in stages. This allows you to start playing as soon as Stage one is downloaded, while it continues and downloads Stages 2-4 in the background. Stage 4 is huge though, and you may need to force it to actively download instead of background download. To do so, start the launcher, click City of Heroes on the left, then click button in the lower left.

That kinda sounds like the client and server might be out of synch. Typing the /synch command usually fixes it when that's the problem.

I tried letting it load til stage 4... its now downloading stage 4 which is everything beyond the tutorial. So tutorial is completely loaded.
I tried the /synch command...
The same thing is happening

The problem you're experiencing is typical of packet loss/network latency issues. Sometimes /synch helps to correct it, but it really depends on where the problem is occurring. If you have a home network set up the first thing i'd suggest trying is cycling all your network equipment. Modem, router, etcetera, as applicable. If that doesn't correct the issue it gets a bit more complicated, because it could be any number of the networks between you and the game servers. There's a couple techniques that can possibly trace and/or correct the issue, but it depends on what sort of computer and OS you're running.

i'm not going to get more specific since networking isn't a focus if mine and i'd rather not give bad advice. (Or advice that is completely irrelevant to your setup, which is more likely to be confusing than useful.) i would suggest asking in ALL ACCESS: Gameplay / Technical Issues & Bugs.

If it helps, we normally call this Rubber Banding and it's usually caused by connection issues between your PC and the game servers. If it keeps happening, then post in the other forum as per the recomendations above.
