Guild Wars 2

There’s a bug in the lunatic inquisition for courtiers. This can be resolved, mind you, and I have the explanation.

Sometimes if you start the game as a courtier, you will actually be able to use items. Food, torches, webs, ect, but in the way villagers do, as opposed to traps. Now what happens is while you have these items equipped you loose access to your 1-5 skills, and also you can’t plant traps at all. In some sense it’s a good thing, but when you think about how powerful items like the torch are, it’s pretty broken from a realistic perspective.

Now, there is one way I’ve found to cure this. If you suicide (I’m guessing it’s dying in general but I found it via suiciding as courtier) when you respawn, it’ll fix itself. Signs of this bug are that your character is wearing the courtier clothes, but isn’t semitransparent like a courtier should be. But once you jump off a cliff or presumably die from any other cause, you should be able to use traps, and you shouldn’t be able to access villager abilities. Just putting this here so ANet knows, and if you see someone doing this you can let them know.

Thanks for reading and good luck.

im too seen this bug

I’ve already reported this bug to ANet, since I figured out how to reproduce it. Unfortunately with Halloween ending in a week it’s likely they won’t bother to patch it now, and just fix it for next year.

I found it yesterday and kinda messed around with it, but then decided that I should probably get this reported before a) Someone reports me and b)It gets abused on a mass scale.

Honestly, combined with mad king says it’s stupidly overpowered.
