Skills and Balance/PvP Team Principal QA
Former active member of Team PZ
Hey all,
This is a reminder thread to submit the bugs you come across to the game bugs sub-forum! It is hugely beneficial to us when you report issues found on Live to the Game Bugs Forum with steps listed on how to perform the bug (“repro”) or describe what is happening.
Link: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs
I will do my best to show visibility in each thread but I just wanted to toss out this thread to express how useful bug reporting can be after a major balance drop like we just had.
Thanks everyone!
Please reply to our posts pretty please
yeah. so many bug reports, hardly a response to any…making me depressed.
We must be reading a different forum?
What is lacking arena net is the confirmation of your decisions, everything you tell us is vague for example, what you will do about pvp match making or if the new updates will have this and that until the release notes don’t show all the changes such as mesmer chaos bug… Now take this as constructive criticism, you need to survey people about ideas or changes for example, if you surveyed the top pvp tournament players for improvement or the people that have experienced the game more than you, then this game would be a million times improved. If the relationship between the developers and the players are that much closer, the quality of updates will be very pleasing. Don’t be vague, acknowledge or give us a sense of attention otherwise it would feel we would all be wasting our time on these forums. We are a great community and very welcoming players but lets face reality, improvements need to be made , every little change helps. Please listen and reply.
Thanks for reading

I have found few things in life less useful than reporting guild wars bugs. A significant portion of the bugs I reported on day 1 still exist a year later. There are a few that have been fixed in recent patches, but I doubt my reporting them a year ago (and a few times since) had any effect on that.
Probably shouldn’t have left this open to replies.
We Thieves aren’t very happy with Arenanet and its ability to effectively balance and remove bugs at the minute —- at least, that’s the impression I get from others and certainly how I feel —- and we’re not much in the mood. =/
Charr and Asuran Thieves (maybe more) are missing blurry effect on dodge.
Thiefs need something…. anything really. I would even take a slight increase in toughness. Our survivability is awful when compared to classes with passive mitigation. Sure dodging is nice, but we can’t constantly do it. Im not asking for much… no, WE are not asking for much. We are asking for something.
Sometimes when i shadowstep via sword 2 or even steal i go to the target but instantly i got back to the original location i used the skill (note that the return from sword 2/shadowstep doesnt trigger wich to me looks like a bug). Anotehr thing… sometimes when i Steal as i said i got back to original location but not just that Steal goes on cooldown without any stolen iten. Hope you guys can check this out and give us a feedback thanks a lot.
Yes i can confirm those two things happend to me as well maaany times, as they are really annoying :
- instant return to original location after steal/shadowstep/sword 2 – randomly and not always
- steal steals nothing and goes on CD – no blind conditions on me or any other that can distrupt this skill – randomly
Has the sticky post from this forum with this thief bugs been removed? I’m sure thieves would like to post new bugs but now we can’t see what has already been reported over the last 12 months.
The previous few posters are talking about movement glitches I think. This is a very important topic for thieves as we are meant to be a high mobility class that dodges, evades, and shadowsteps away from danger. We are very susceptible to movement failures. Dodge, evade, shadowstep, and shadow return can fatally fail to move the user at all over uneven ground, sometimes on pan flat surfaces too. These are not necessarily thief bugs but they are certainly poor game mechanics that cause a lot of bugs for thieves.
Has Signet of Agility been fixed yet?
Yes I can confirm Steal, does not always steal but does always go on CD.
Tyler would it be too much to ask for developers to respond to the submitted bug reports and acknowledge whether they have been assigned to be fixed? It’s frustrating to post bug reports to the forums or in-game, and see them go unfixed and apparently ignored for weeks, months or even over a year.
Please, many of us enjoy or class because of the archetype. Many of us just want to her why our class has been so nerfed/underappreciated. We have been speaking loudly since the nerds started happening and all we hope for is answers.
If I start auto attacking a gate with my short bow then turn and walk away, deselect the gate so that I have no target, if I come back, I start auto attacking the gate again even with no target selected. Is this working as inteneded?
HOT FIX this kitten basilisk venom + daze bug
HOT FIX this kitten pistol whip not existing stun duration
how much time we have to wait for a fix on something that YOU and YOUR LAST PATCH broke?
I don’t care anymore if you take 3 months for a pvp patch that doesn’t change anything and let the meta being the mess it is now for another 3 months, I am downhearted nowadays, I know you can’t do anything good even given enaugh time, but AT LEAST you should fix in a matter of time the things that were working and now are no more working since your last update.
Hidden thief doesn’t work with pistol autoattack on. Potentially because bullet has flight time and the steal is insta but there isn’t any way around it with the lag the way it is.
Maybe working as intended but if so it sucks
After the patch, whenever I use black powder to finish a downed player, they get to use their number 2 skill to interrupt me even though they are blinded. Before the patch, this almost never happens, but after the patch, they get it off almost 30% of the time.
When I use rare veggie pizza (+40% condi duration) I don’t see condition damage increase in shadow strike’s torment damage tooltip.
Pistol whip stun duration is shorter than the time it takes to start the flurry.
Teleport skills are really prone to failure when used on staircases at the moment. Examples are the ones inside keeps/towers that lead up to walls and the ones around the bloodlust buff points. I’m guessing its because the game treats them as uneven ground so doesn’t think that you can walk a path from point A to point B when there’s a staircase separating both points.
There’s also a lot of rubber banding happening with targeted tele skills like infiltrators strike/signet where you will port to them and immediately port back.
On crit effects like flame blast and lightning strike are causing instant revealed if they proc on a cloak and dagger.
Disabling shot still sometimes roots you in place when it’s used, instead of jumping backwards/away from target.
Heartseeker will sometimes leap in a random direction when untargeted, usually when you’re on uneven ground like a hill.
I reported the recent bugs, no response from any dev.

Same here, made bug posts which have been buried with no response or fix. This whole thread feels like a result of someone tasking Tyler to make these posts on the forums, but nobody being tasked for reading and responding at the bugs forum.
To the several people posting your bugs above, he asked you to report them in the Game Bugs forum, not in this thread.
Dancing Dagger doesn’t work correctly with condition duration bonuses. I just posted a seperate post about this.
Also, torment duration doesnt delve correctly either on Shadow Strike which I also posted about.
Please address these issues.

Since the whole point of this thread is telling people to post about bugs in the bugs subforum, I don’t think anything posted in this thread will be acknowledged or addressed.
