Guild Wars 2

Since the patch, where they fixed the fact that Medium armor characters occasionally bug out due to the Ghost Transform and can’t use Utilities, it seems that no-one can change Utilities at all, can people confirm that this is indeed a change and that before the patch you could change Utilities while in Ghost form.

I can confirm that before the patch I could change utilities while in ghost form. I would change the ice bow to something else after the burrows were all done. Havent tried since the patch though.

That " potion of ascolonian mages" ,sorry no idea how to spell it, used to allow me to use my utilities but would not let me change them

I guess we are waiting for them to determine whether this is NOW a bug, or was bugged previously.

Whether we are supposed to be able to change utilites while transformed or not.

I’m just happy, as an Engie, to get my utilities back! Heck of a fight without them.

Engi utility OP, nerf pls

Well seeing as you can’t apparently change utilities at all in the Ascalon Fractal as a Charr, they are now looking into it as a bug they introduced.

I play as a Female Human Thief and never had problems. I could always use my utility skills, change them in both ghost form and charr form (ascalon fractal)

Did path 3 as Female Human Guardian and Female Norm Mesmer, no problems

Can’t change them as human warrior so i guess this is just an overall new bug.

WHAT HAPPENED WAS THIS:

Before, medium armor males would run into a bug where they got no utility/elite/healing skill. Females would work just fine.

SINCE THE PATCH:

Medium armor males can now have and use all of the above. However, NOW, NOBODY can change their utilities. You can use them, but not change them.

I got a DEV RESPONSE saying this was working as intended, because it qualifies as a transform, and you’re not supposed to be able to change your utilities while transformed.

Including the Charr transform on Ascalon fractal

Thanks for looking into this.

@ Jeffrey Vaughn, would you agree then that this is a sucky way of trapping a person into their utlitys/heal/elite with out any warning?

Also doesn’t this go against Anets all build diversity thing.. that you have just pushed through. Locking players into one format isn’t good, you may as well give us all a new set of skills and then it would make sense locking the skills in, IE lock skills when in ghost form but give us a whole new template akin to the dungeon…. This would be a new mechanic and a lot more fun then it is now.

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

To clarify, I have a programmer looking at it to see if they accidentally introduced a new bug. I can’t say it’s “By design!”, I was just pointing out that all transforms are exhibiting this behavior.

Lol, your message sure makes it sound like “working as intended”.

This transformation never stopped it previously. If what you said in the other post is true, why could you still switch in both ascalon situations?

Hmm just saw this https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Potion-Ascalonian-Mages-FULLY-in-WvW-again

Perhaps you guys have the two swapped.

Never had problem, before or after the patch, but seems that it only effects Male toons

Oh btw, sometimes I don’t get transformed into a charr at the ascalon fractal. To be honest, I havent got transformed for over a month.
