Guild Wars 2

Recently in maybe 10% of my pvp games I’ve been getting a bug where the function gyro will not activate, on both allies and enemies. The button to send the gyro out appears on the screen, but pressing it does not send out the gyro, and the “gyro stomp/revive” message is not removed by pressing the button.

If I die and respawn then the bug goes away, but it has happened several times where I just didn’t die all game and couldn’t stomp. Being downed may fix the bug as well, I’m not sure. In one game the bug stopped without being killed and I have no idea why, but at least I know that it’s possible.

Does anyone know the cause of this bug? Does anyone know how to make it stop without dying? I didn’t see other threads about this bug for a bunch of pages back, and it’s not in the known issue tracker, so I figured I might as well ask, because this bug has caused several match losses for me already and I’d like to prevent it in the future. Thanks!

ive encountered this bug as well.

i believe it could possibly happen because of a couple things:

• being cc’ed at the same time as f gets pushed
• being dazed (specifically) when pushing f
• spamming f occasionally bugs out the gyro
• dropping a kit while pushing f

im not sure how to consistently repro, but i think that being more careful about your button mashing does help alleviate the bug, and i dont know how to fix it once it happens in any way except dying.

its rare but its gamebreaking.

I saw my functional gyro pushed away by a downed guardian when I wasn’t running Final Salvo trait. Noticed that it gets the stabi from Final Salvo what made me think it is not interruptable.

But it is. And I belief it can also be destroyed by AoE. But not sure about that.

Well final salvo only gives 1 stack of stability so it’s possible that the first stack was removed and then it was pushed back. There is also a final salvo bug in that it does not give stability to the player (though afaik it works properly with the gyro), and that bug is in the known issue tracker.

At any rate, my post is referring specifically to a bug in which the function gyro does not deploy at all despite selecting a valid target.

Thanks for the response.

Something I just thought of is that it may be a product of the most recent patch, as I don’t remember ever seeing it before that (though I also didn’t play as much engi in pvp then). Do you remember if it happened to you previously?

its been there a while, not the most recent patch. it happened to me more than 2 days ago. hmmm i dont think i had it in season 2 though.
