Guild Wars 2

Alright, so everyone knows what stomping is. If not, it’s simply a slang word for finishing. So when an enemy has downed, and you’re stomping him, you can do the normal stomp that takes around 2 sec, or you could perhaps use skills that give you quickness, for a fast stomp (so the enemy can’t revive him).

So, there is a small bug when stomping with quickness, and this bug has been forever!
Your animation is working fine, but when you’ve stopped the animation (a.k.a the enemy should be dead), you still have to wait another 1 sec for him to die, as if the quickness didn’t help at all.

Please fix this, as it’s super annoying to stand there for one second after he’s supposed to be dead, and then getting knocked back by his interrupt, and then you’ll have to re-stomp.

It’s not a bug, they removed haste stomping. The flag will still drop it just has a set amount of time now.

It’s like 1 sec delay after you’ve finished the stomping, but that doesn’t mean he’s dead yet. Cause he can still interrupt you, because it’s kitten #8230;

The animation doesn’t sync with the actual finishing time. The timing is correct, but the animation just doesn’t line up. You must wait for the flag to drop before you move.

It does look silly and should be handled better, but it isn’t a huge issue and I’d rather have more important bugs fixed first, ones that actually affect the game.

Of course we’d all rather have them fix more important bugs first, but how could this take any long to fix? It’s not like a major issue for them to fix the animation time, and turn it down.

I think this is a side effect of your quickness expiring. But like someone mentioned wait for the points to come up or acknowledgement of finish.

Is it just me or does this bug only affect thieves? I see warriros quick-stomp constantly and have NEVER seen a warrior or ranger not be able to quick-stomp.

This sounds awesome. Do you have a link to a dev or a post confirming this?

Indeed. I often play on my warrior, and there I can stomp with frenzy (quickness) and yet it works. However, on my thief it does not work when I use Haste.

this is incorrect

quickness will only affect a finisher if the duration is long enough to last from start to finish
