Guild Wars 2

Boy I hope I am wrong….

I just returned after a break for a few months when the first season of the LS ended. It’s been a few days and I had kept thinking maybe I was just always on daytime maps, but even on night maps I am noticing that my Howler does not animate, show a ghostly moon, or howl any longer. Obviously I can’t really post a screenie of the animation itself or the howling… but this shows the moon that no longer seems to appear. This is going to totally break my heart if its true.

I looked back in old patch notes while I was away and don’t recall seeing anything about it, but maybe I’m wrong. Anyone have some clarification? Thanks!

It’s bugged out again Anet hates the off hand legendaries

This happened before, its a confirmed bug?

Same story for me with getting back to the game for LS2. It’s real sad…

This should be a high priority fix, since WARRIORS use warhorns too for the blast finisher in PVE!

Well I guess I’m glad to know it isn’t just on my end, this sucks

April 15th patch:

Fixed a bug that caused the Howler to endlessly loop its trumpet animation at night.

It was never supposed to do the moon animation all the time and especially not keep howling even when sheathed.

That’s unfortunate, I can understand the endless loop, that did get annoying, but I’m a little bummed out about the moon no longer glowing continually at night.

Now it seems the weapon is no different during the day or night… that was a big appeal to me.

I don’t think that’s true. The bugged animation thing happened when you used a horn ability & then the animation got stuck with the howling noise & the movement thing, it only happened at night. It had nothing to do with the stowed night state, if you think about it right now the moon thing is not even visible when you blow it it only appears for like half a second in front of your toon …

Yeah I can confirm. This definitely takes away from the legendary feel. It needs to be addressed. The endless loop being gone is a great fix but give me back my moon!

Love and respect.
