Guild Wars 2

This has been happening awhile and I’m sure there is a thread already for it but I’m stating this anyhow. The fire charr who shoots out flames everywhere….well alot of the aoe fire rings are completely invisible. You can’t see anything hitting you yet apparently you’re standing in the fire. Please look into this as it is very frustrating to suddenly go down when basically nothing is visibly hitting you.

This is a graphical bug and it applies to any AoE/ring effect, not sure if there is a setting that stops this from happening but it’s like a 50/50 chance for me to be able to see fire fields on my laptop with low settings and I’m unaffected on my desktop.

lol, I just recently came back to GW and was wondering how I can be so incapable of reliably doing some mechanics. One day on the forums later I have seen bug reports for every single mechanic I’m ‘sucking at’.
This game .________.

For added comedy do the boss as zerk ele ^-^v

Can’t say that I’ve seen this bug on Molten Duo. I’ve had it happen in the Mai Trin cannon phase, but then again, that whole phase is nothing but ‘camera please’.

This may also be less noticed in Molten as the animation for the fireball is very noticeable. So even if there’s no red ring of death the giant ball of fiery fury is enough to get out of the way.

They won’t even see this thread, as devs don’t read this forum (no one at ArenaNet is working on dungeons, so no one needs to stay up-to-date about them).

You should post this in the Bugs subforum so it can be ignored instead of not-seen (again, the “no one at ArenaNet is working on dungeons” thing).

Yes, this bug kittenes me off and as a result I hate this boss now. Shame, used to be one of my favorites too.

I remember somebody mentioning a while ago that the aoes are landing beneath the surface so they’re invisible but you still take damage while running, no idea how I could confirm that they are indeed beneath the ground or not but it would not surprise me.

Even the ones that are not invisible, often times the aoe indicators appear simultaneously as the damage occurs so the whole boss fight feels like kitten to me. That part is probably just ping-related on my end, dunno.

They should give molten duo the same treatment Bloomhunger got with the aoe indicator upgrade. I have never had problems with getting damaged by invisible aoes ever since they did that.
