Ever since using a box of fun (specifically the petrified gorgon setting) my character disappears when using a skill and only reappears after sheathing his weapons. He is still visible to other players and enemies. I’ve tried WPing to different maps, logging off and on, allowing myself to be killed, using the box o’ fun again…nothing seems to be working. My other characters are fine, they appear normally, but this character isn’t able to enter combat without disappearing.
I apologize if this isn’t posted in the correct area.
After the player used the Box o’ Fun (the changing hues setting), whenever a weapon is wielded (goes into combat, etc.) the character looks as if it is in stealth mode.
And this issue continues even after the client has been restarted. This is a consistent and persistent bug on this character. As it currently stands this character is not really playable.
Truly hope support can figure out a fix for this ASAP.
Well, that’s not encouraging. I’m a little upset by this, the character in question is my oldest (and has some of my best gear attached). I have a sentimental attachment to the little guy. I’ve sent a support ticket, hope to hear something soon.
2 days now after support ticket submitted, no reply yet and the issue still persists. I went to far as to do the following:
Repaired the Guild Wars 2 Client
Waypointed to different areas of the map
Removed all armor/gear/trinkets/weapons from character
Interacted with a box of fun (again)
Nothing has worked. I would be less distraught with this situation if it were not my main character that I have worked on so hard and happily on for so long. I have prided myself to take on goals for this character, gearing him up in all ascended and truly enjoying the guardian class to its fullest. Like Oddityangel, I have a huge sentimental attachment to my character and have lost the desire to login, seeing my avatar with this persistent bug.
Oddityangel, my girlfriend and I have been trying to fix this issue as support hasn’t replied. If you have a metabolic primer or utility primer on your character, try eating different food. I ate a totally different food and utility than I normally use and then when I wielded my weapon and voilà my avatar was no longer invisible. I am not sure if the bug will happen again but at this point it fixed the disappearing act. I hope this helps! Good luck! (I also sent you this in an in game mail)
It seems that the Utility Primer somehow interacts with an effect from the Box O’ Fun, and that effect (stealth mode appearance) PERSISTS until one consumes a utility food to override that Box O’ Fun effect (or the Utility Primer times out).
This is one heck of an odd and obscure bug, but it sure makes playing that character nigh impossible in the meantime.
