When using action camera, if a player holds down left click to attack quickness doesn’t take effect with certain weapons on certain professions. Below is a link to the reddit thread that has a video as well as a list of some of the professions and weapons that have been tested.

Can we get a confirmation from the devs that they are aware of this bug? This is a huge deal for everyone that uses action camera. I’ve essentially been playing since HoT release without quickness ever working.
A bug report has been submitted, but the devs have yet to comment on this and it didn’t show up in the latest update of the known issue tracker.

I agree that this is a big issue and I’d prefer that ANet comment on it sooner rather than later (actually: I’d prefer that they fix it sooner, even though I’m not a big user of the action camera). However, I’m not holding my breath about it.

The Known Issue Tracker is really a curated list of some of the issues the devs realize are of special interest to us; it is never 100% up-to-date nor will it cover anywhere close to 100% of issues that are of strong interest to a subset of us.

Further, the devs only comment sporadically on the forums and reddit (or wherever) about key issues. Sometimes they are very responsive; sometimes not so much.

In other words, I don’t read anything into the fact that we haven’t seen a response. It could mean that the staff tasked with resolving it are deep into the fix and haven’t come up for air long enough to post — or that they’ve seen the in-game report, but not this one. (Of course, it could also mean no one agrees with us that this is big enough to prioritize.)

Well lets hope its the former and not the latter. I know action camera users are the minority, but it’s still used but a substantial number of people and this bug is really making things difficult for them.
