Guild Wars 2

When I preview the skin from my bank, while stowed the greatsword is sheathed. When I wield it, it unsheathes and the blade is visible.

But I purchased the skin and when I use it in the open world, these effects don’t occur. The greatsword just stays sheathed the whole time, regardless of whether or not it’s stowed.

I’m so bummed! I’ve been dying for this skin since it ended up in the wardrobe and I spent like, 90g converting gold to gems to get it. I already put in a bug report but figured I should post about it on the forums in case other people are having the issue, too.

Quite strange, it’s working for me. Do you have a screenshot?

I was just about to take one… When it decided to work as intended? I am thoroughly confused lol.

Initially, I had skinned over my legendary Eternity, so I figured maybe that was the issue, that the legendary’s effects were clashing with Belinda’s gs effects. So I bought a karma greatsword and skinned that over to test it out, and it worked fine. I went back to my legendary (Belinda’s gs skinned over still) and it was sheathing and unsheathing properly.

… It’s gone back to staying sheathed even when wielded. Belinda’s greatsword is very temperamental.
I have a screenshot. Sorry if it’s not the best, gfx are on medium and I’m in a dark dungeon.

Took a (slightly) better one.

Sorry that I keep replying to my own thread… But it seems like this issue only happens at night or in nighttime dungeons. During the day, the sword sheathes and unsheathes just fine.

Just curious. Have you tried changing your graphics settings (temporarily), to see if that makes a difference (at night)? I know, sometimes, different settings change what we see.

No change even when my graphics settings are altered. Still stays sheathed even when I have the weapon wielded.

Bought a ‘white’ greatsword and skinned it over with Belinda’s gs and wielded and stowed it in a night setting. Worked as intended.
Skinned over my Eternity and had the same issue. So I guess this is just an Eternity thing lol.
