your top most annoying bug ever to exist...
I just can’t take a game that seriously. When I start to get frustrated I turn the PC off and go outside.
The current lighting bug
Mid Air Immob is certainly up there as one of the most infuriating things in the game.
Black lion item shop that only loads 6% of the time (no exaggeration)
I haven’t experienced this myself, but the story-stopping bugs I’ve been reading about are terrible. To wit, losing skill 1 on transforms and not being able to knock out the asura in the stealth section. I also have a lot of empathy for those who have properly triggered their legendary collection item, had the buff active when the rare-spawn boss died, and not received the collection progression they just earned.
It’s hard to pick one, i got a few, but one that’s been driving me crazy for a long time now, is when they hide away ur mini at events or when ur gliding and then never un-hide it.
Oddly, this only happens to my main acct that owns HoT, never on my 2nd acct that doesn’t. Ofc, gliding wouldn’t affect my 2nd acct since i don’t have the expansion on it, but even when minis are hidden at events, they always pop back up on this acct.
current or old bugs?
current: immobilise bug
past bug: death from stairs

I’m always amused by bugs, but then again I’m a retired bug hunter. This game has some bugs but not the worst or the funniest that I’ve seen.
The funniest bug incident I ever dealt with was when this poor player asked us to come help him (different game) when a NPC followed him out of its zone and was corpse camping his body all across the map.
Yes I probably shouldn’t have found it funny but QA can be kinda stressful and it was just one of those moments where QA and the Dev’s all stopped and looked at one another like “seriously”….

yuuuuuup
INVISIBLE WALLS
Obstructed
Aka “No valid path to target.”
When I get stuck in bridges and generators in EotM.

No valid path blah blah

:(
Fight the queens
whats yours?
Anet claiming they fixed teq bugs.
“If TTS can Break it, it aint Fixed” /guildslogan2014
Spectral Flames that escaped from the Living story instance and attacked my warrior in Blazeridge Steppes. They’re invulnerable, follow your char and teleport to where it is if you try to get away from them and have a knockdown every few seconds. I had to leave the map to get away from them. >.>
ANet may give it to you.
Personal Story episodes that you have to start over because for some reason cough Taimi cough Braham cough isn’t actually doing anything but standing there. It’s happened multiple times now.
Other than that, can’t think of any I can’t live with. I do find the animation freeze bug really amusing though. Like in pvp when somebody kills you so fast that your character stays in a frozen attack animation with their arms out still trying to contemplate what just happened.
I am with you on the spectral flames, Just a flesh wound. When I returned to the game after a nine month break some months ago, they were one of the first things I ran into. I did not understand what was going on. They are relentless.
I found some more the other day. They even attack you in the air if you try to glide away.
Another annoying bug is that Ettin horde in Kessex Hills overlooking Wizards Fief. I want my strawberries darn it. I was silly enough to try harvesting them twice today. It didn’t end well.

Are you on Mac Beta by any chance?
Rescue the captive sylvari from vigilantes / Destroy tendrils and their source
Prevents progression on Verdant Brink achieve “Pact Camper” which also prevents getting the mastery point from “Ground Pounder”
Been like this since forever… it’s even on the wiki page for Verdant Brink
Forceful Displacement, Revenant downed state skill 2, sending you inside walls/pillars that you cannot get out of. Really infuriating.
The latest amazing bug that removes skill 1 from transforms, making certain story encounters and Adventures really hard, or even impossible, to complete. For example Sanctum Scramble is impossible to do now.
But the most infuriating bug in the game’s history is getting stuck and not able to move at all with WSAD. Only way to un-stuck yourself is by using a movement skill, somehow in unblocks the movement keys.
Immob bug………..
….. And Elementalist.
Trading Post issues.
At the moment it’s the missing skill 1 bug from LS2. The immob bug being a close second though…
Immo bug, pff… a bug that is part of ruining an entire gameplay mode perhaps?
Keep lords scale not only to its enemies but its friendlies as well, making it impossible to cap keeps while trying to fight at the same time. Hence it become k-train to win.
As a sidenote, the two best bugs we’ve seen: when WvW reset went berserk and put everyone on random server maps. The confusion was real. Also when they accindentally added a couple of zeros to the damage on chaos storm fall trait. Mesmers instakilled entire groups haha.

There’s a few things that annoy me….
1 – Not a bug but game design that is super annoying. That is the selling limit on the TP. Now I am not a bot or even someone who crafts a heck of a lot so I don’t see this too much but I do when I craft. As I craft in surges. Meaning I gather resources and save them up over a period of time and then when I have a ton I will level a craft up. Sometimes from maybe lvl 1-400 for example. And the way I do it is I HAVE TO unlock every recipe in the discover panel. Thus I make hundreds of items and trying to sell them all on the tp can be a huge nightmare because of that “feature” that is there to stop bots. It’s always the innocent ppl who get punished because of the baddies.
2 – Actual bug – Engi Rocket Boots Utility skill F key use. You are running along, hit this skill to rush forward but hello, all of a sudden you have stopped moving. NEVER good when in PvP or WVW when chasing someone or running from them. I have a feeling there may be a couple of causes for this. 1 either uneven ground or 2 it does not play nice with the auto run feature.
3 – Gathering as an Engi while wielding your flamethrower kit – Facepalm, nuff said.
4 – Oh also some times there is a bug that has me stuck auto running in a diagonal direction. No idea what causes this as it is totally random and happens very seldom. A quick out to char select fixes it.

The 32-bit client crashing, easily by a long shot.
Seems everyone’s taken for granted it’s now fixed with the 64-bit client.
Go back to the 32-bit client, wait for it to crash when you least expect it, and tell me that isn’t THE MOST annoying bug?
Glad they fixed that, really am!
The most annoying bug i have had…
Going all the way to kill mordremoth, downing it and then seeing him disapear before I can stomp him. In the end being stuck in the nightmare world without being able to reset the boss or getting out. That was really really really frustrating…
Most bugs don’t bother me. They’re a part of modern gaming, and it’s less stressful to just accept they’re going to exist.
However, I am sad I’ve never gotten to hear the ritual of purification cutscene at the end of The Source of Orr personal story. The audio always cuts out, except small snippets of delayed battle sounds as Treherne is defended while he performs the ritual.
~EW
Generally speaking I don’t notice most bugs. The only one that really gets me though is the immob bug, and only when I’m pvping. Its killed me due to inopportune “stuck” moments more than a few times.
WvW reset went berserk and put everyone on random server maps. The confusion was real.
accindentally added a couple of zeros to the damage on chaos storm fall trait.
lol! that musta been funny. wai u trol me reset?!?! >:O
yeah i remember that mesmer thing. one of my biggest wtf moments in gw2.
on my necro when I accidentally double hitting shroud form…
not only does it place me back in regular form when I wanted to be in shroud, but now its on cooldown and I cant use it
Randomly failing stomps in PvP.
Short of that, probably the “no valid path”/“obstructed”/etc bugs – especially on anything Revenant that isn’t the Shiro teleport. But I also have tons of problems with Guardian Sword 2 and Judge’s Intervention, which even though is supposed to be able to bypass ledges if there’s a way around, will NEVER fire for me with any vertical whatsoever, and sometimes fails from middle to top of stairs…
I just can’t take a game that seriously. When I start to get frustrated I turn the PC off and go outside.
This.
Although I have cursed at the screen before turning off the computer.
My Sylvari saying “You rarely see one of those” when the drop was some Bloodstone Dust! :p
Most annoying? Yep, the immob bug.
Most fun?
Its mostly a graphical bug as only you can see it, but when you fall and land on your front, but do a jump or something at the right time, so you are stuck in that position, running around till you attack.
