Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone. I would like to discuss a bug I have encountered many times since I started playing. Suppose I’m downed, and my opponent starts the stomping animation while stealthed, when the stealth ends I can see him raising the arm as if the animation just begun, and then the flag drops. It happens literally every time, and my guilmates are experiencing the same problem.

I’ve never seen anything posted on the forums about this, which is strange, since it’s a bit annoying and frankly, really uncool. It’s not exactly game breaking, but apart from the fact that it prevents counter play, I would like to see my foe jump out of the blue, in a pink explosion, to pin a flag in my convulsed body, with the cool asura spin animation. What do you think? Have you experienced this bug as well?

Yeah everyone experiences it but it doesn’t affect much. The stomp takes just as long to perform, and when somebody is stealthed on top of your downed body, it’s pretty clear what to expect.

True, it’s not game breaking. But in some cases it can really be a matter of life and death. Suppose you are dueling a thief, as a thief yourself. When downed, you want to time your teleport so that the other thief doesn’t steal to complete the stomp. If you can’t see the animation, that’s a problem.

What really annoys me is that it clearly is a bug, and I can not imagine that correcting it would be that difficult. Maybe I should post a similar thead in the bugs sub forum?
