Guild Wars 2

I think in the latest patch, they fixed the stopping issue with the rocket boots. Maybe a stealth patch they didn’t feel was worth mentioning or maybe someone didn’t document it.

I gotta admit, I feel pretty ignored as an engie usually because of the bugs I see, and how some bugs got added in later on for things the devs tried to fix, but I wanna start highlighting and showing some appreciation when I catch fixes like this that aren’t usually documented. Would really like to see an engineer tips video on Guildwars2’s twitch channel eventually.

On a recent patch, they said they did nothing, but people still noticed things changed. Stealth patches happen pretty often.

Apparently, they do have a new QA guy who’s actually looking at the bug boards (or at least had the bright idea to say he was). Post bugs there, and he might see ‘em – he’s a busy bee, been responding to tons of threads for the last couple days.

Good on Anet for that, seriously. It feels almost pointless to post bugs if they don’t get acknowledged ever. I also feel like they’re gonna really need the new QA person for all the new content coming out.

I am sorry it is still there. tested. exactly same.

Lol 1 step forward, 3 steps back. Engi for life! Gonna go hop out of the window now.

But seriously, it could be because of the karma rollback, it could be for a host of other reasons. I just hope they get back on it and if not I’ll be bug reporting like a snitch.

Update: Wait a minute. Rocket Boots seem better than ever. I think there may be a split second of halting on the landing, depending on your camera view, but now you can press W during Rocket Boots’ execution and keep running when you land. This now works much better than it did after the major patch that made rocket boots go forward.

I should say that they at least work great in PvE, haven’t tested PvP or WvW.

I have tested it for hours both in pve and pvp.

Nothing changed at all. Also nothing mentioned in patch notes.
I even doubt they are aware of this bug. anyways.

You still get rooted if you are auto-runing or pressing W or even not doing any of these. Problem is still so random. Still not switching between animations smoothly.

Maybe due to changes on pve culling you feel different on your overall game experience in pve, but rocket boots exactly the same.

I wish we had a ninja fix, even for a slight difference but nope.

Oh man, I ran into the issue again. It seems to stall when I’m more than 25degrees overhead. when I’m less than 25 degrees in a lowly populated area it works smooth as butter, in highly populated zones i got a freeze so bad i had to take my finger off the W key and makitten twice. I hardly use auto-run. I’ll have to test it more tonight and I’ll probably post in the bug thread tomorrow. It seemed to really lock up in the global fights with Scarlet’s minions.

Nope, just tried it – 2/3 rocket boot uses bugged for me. I even did it on purely flat ground in the center of LA.

Lol I get the opposite bug for mine. I use boots, land and then my toon surfs…he literally freezes in a skateboard like stance and glides across the ground until I take another action its hilarious since he is Asura.
