Guild Wars 2

Posting this here before posting it in the bug forum. Has anyone ever had this bug? Dredge fractal last night, ice elemental version. After I think one or two pulls, the lava buckets stopped showing their animation for my entire party. At first we thought it was completely screwed and wasn’t dumping the lava at all, til one of the group suggested we pull the elemental over to one anyway and see if it was just an animation issue, which proved to be true. I recorded a few times to demonstrate.

Yeah we had this last night. Ice elemental aswell. You have to watch the debuff timer to know whether it worked or not. We also had an issue of the interact ui not showing up sometimes. Not sure if it worked by pressing f anyway though. I wasnt doing lava buckets but when my party member complained about them not working I went up to check. There was no interact at all on one of them and i couldnt tell if pressing f worked because of the bugged animation and boss wasnt underneath.

Yeah once we got un-discombobulated we settled on a bucket-puller and resumed as normal, just checking the debuff icon to make sure it hit.

ed: We had the same thing with the F prompt not showing up but I believe that was simply due to all of us running around trying to pull every bucket to see if it was isolated to one member. Once we settled on one puller per the usual method the bucket prompt was refreshing at the normal rate.

I had the same problem. The bucket animation would work but there was no interact symbol to dump. We reset and that seemed to fix it.

+1

Ran dredge twice yesterday. Both times, on ice elemental boss, while the consoles could be interacted with and the appropriate condition would be placed on the elemental boss, the actual bucket animation did not happen after the first couple times.

Ok cool, I will crosspost this to the bug forum. Not that I have hopes of it being addressed, mind you.

I had this problem with the mining suit end boss, as well as the elemental. I never had the problem that the levers were appearing as ‘not usable’, however the animation/sound on the bucket(s) were non-existent, so it made it a little less obvious for the people escorting the boss around the room.

Same here, no animation and sometimes even said it wasn’t usable, eventhough pressing E, or whatever it is we press in this game, worked. We got it done, but it was stressful as I had no clue if I was doing a proper job!

We encountered the same animation bug as well.

After a month after launch I got used to animations missing in this game. Something always goes missing after a patch

I’ve posted this in the bug forum, perhaps keeping it bumped will get a dev to respond to it. I could also win the lottery.
