So basically whenever I try to make a screenshot of an ascended weapon the tooltip of the item just doesn’t show up. The rest of the screen is perfectly normal and all other rarities of items works, too.

I’ve played around with some graphic settings like switching to window mode or playing around with the level of details (even though i didn’t know what i really expected) and nothing worked.

You’ll probably need to use a program such as Fraps to capture tool tips in the game. It’s the only way I’ve ever been able to capture them in GW2.

But everything else is working fine. I can make screenshots of rares, masterwork, my legendary, everything…but not of ascended. That’s a bit weird, isnt it?

That is rather weird, yes. I have no idea why that would be the case. And I’m not even sure how you’re taking screenshots of those other items. I’ve never been able to capture the tool tips of anything in the game without a third party program.

This design has been done on purpose so that screenshots look cleaner. Your cursor always ceases to appear when taking screenshots. The byproduct of mousing over an item is showing the tooltip, so it does not appear. You can take regular screenshots to make the cursor and tooltip appear.

1. Print screen.
2. Start.
3. All programs.
4. Accessories.
5. Paint.
6. Paste (Ctrl V)
7. Menu.
8. Save.

Anet likely didn’t want to remove the armor stats entirely because…well,
we’ve all seen what happens in games where there’s no disadvantage to taking your pants off.

Interesting. I never knew that something like that was intentional.
But your work-around works like a charm! I feel bad that I didn’t think of that myself.

Thank you very much!

Another (easier) workaround:

Hold down your mouse button while taking the screenshot, this will prevent the tooltip from disappearing.

Try “Greenshot” it’s like “Screenshot” but better and called “Greenshot”.
