Guild Wars 2

Having a bug when i use Elexir S. My camera start zoom-in and zoom-out like crazy so i cant even understand what is going on. I cant see field and cant normally control.

Do u have the same problem? It starter 1-2 month ago after some pach.

Same here, its makes navigating while in shrunk form hard.

This started for me after the halloween event when they briefly (& accidently) made it so you could zoom out ALOT farther which was awesome for throwing nades.

Once they fixed this camera glitch they also broke my Elixir S. So now when I use it I have to deal with a rubberbanding wonky camera that even seems to make you run slower.

You’re all Asura, right?
This is your ONE weakness.

In all seriousness though: they should fix this asap™ to be honest. I saw videos where the bug was visible and its awful to watch that. Playing it must be awful times 100.

Yeah its annoying, but doable for me. Makes me feel like i’m in an episode of Wayne’s World. Not saying I don’t want them to fix it, just saying its not gamebreaking for me atm.

I’m an Asura btw.

Yeah, it’s just a bug for Asura. Add it to the Engineer bug list, though…. and to me, it makes the Elixir S useless when I play my Asura, because the whole point of being invulnerable for 3 seconds is getting out of LoS and healing up or getting that CD you need. If you rubberband in place… it’s kind of useless.

You get stuck in place? I am still moving when it happens, just zooming in and out. Weird.

So far for me, it seems to depend on the terrain. Sometimes I can move forward and it zooms in and out fast, other times, I’m standing in place while it does the same crazy camera thing.

Oddly enough, tonight, since this post, is the first time in a couple of weeks I haven’t hadd this bug yet. There is no method to the madness, I say.

I’m also affected by this bug being an Asura Engineer. Very annoying, cause effectively I can’t use Elixir S it is so bad.

same here: on my Asura it basically means I never use Elixir S, not even the traited proc one…

Incredibly annoying!

I am using Elixir S with my Asura engineer all the time and I can also confirm the bug. The camera bug is annoying, running becomes very jerky and the camera is way too close the ground. It makes really difficult to navigate, but still I rather have elixir S in my build. It is a true life saver, especially in WvWvW.

This made me reroll human in SPvP… So annoying. I had to switch builds in WvW because of it too. It seems like it makes you move slower, so using it as an escape tool is almost pointless.

I have an Asura engi as well. While the Asura camera issue is certainly a headache (even looking upwards at towers/keeps is a headache), I’ve come to realize how invaluable the invulnerability that Elixir S grants is. Elixir R is a close second, but not as great in WvW (invulnerable stomping in the middle of enemy zerg!)

So yes, it’s a major pain to my brain and needs to be fixed, but at the end of the day Elixir S has saved my little Asura butt at least 10 times when running from a zerg, making it irreplaceable on my skill bar.

I don’t know how this bug has been going on for 2 months and not been fixed yet. =/
