Guild Wars 2

DESCRIPTION: I team up with an elementalist and part of our tactic is using his conjured weapons. Sadly it disappears instantly (skills swap etc but it goes straight back to my pistols) it seems to be whenever a ranged weapon is using it’s auto attack, it overrides the conjured weapon, and removes it.

The stacks are still there but the weapon is gone until the stacks are gone (it never comes back.) the same thing happens to the ice bow.

Oddly enough though this only started recently (past two days.) and wasn’t an issue before.

-

SUMMERY: Conjured weapons disappear whenever the player is using ranged weapons (Auto-attack or not, standing still or moving doesn’t help either.)

OTHER ISSUES: This issue might be connected to the “moving while picking up objects” bug (running past the item, when using F.)

I get this too as a lightning hammer elementalist. If I activate lightning hammer while attacking with my staff the hammer will activate and immediately dissappear, swapping immediately back to the staff attack. I know the hammer has activated as my staff’s sigil of geomancy activates on the weapon swap. But now I only have one lightning hammer ….. unless someone else picks it up and then I have none.

This has happened to me quite often both on my ele and off. More recently though on my ele since I’ve changed sigils on my daggers. I guess when the sigil triggers it cancels my summoned weapons as well.

Conjured weapons will also dissapear when picked up if the player has a sigil of Hydromancy. Not sure if it happens with any other similar sigil.

I have suffered several instances of both “bundle disappears on pickup” and “character walks past bundle and keeps moving instead pickup” bugs.
I don’t know what causes them, but I do remember that they happen regardless of:
- Profession or race.
- Being attacking or not.
- Whichever weapon is equipped, or any other equipment.
- Having another bundle of any kind on hand or not, including engineer kits, banners, conjured weapons and environmental weapons.
- Location. I’ve seen this happening anywhere. PvE, PvP, WvW, dungeons, personal story…
- Lagging heavily or having ping well under 90ms.
- Being solo or with many people around.
- For the “bundle disappears” bug, being moving or not does not affect it.
- For the “keep walking instead pickup”, it only happens when moving.

Bundles that I’ve seen disappearing.
- Some environmental weapons, but not all. Most I’ve seen disappering on pickup are 1-skill ones. I though the skill was being used right away, but there was some animation some have lasting effects that I’ve never seen on target in these cases.
- Conjured weapons, but not always.

Bundles that I’ve never seen disappearing:
- I haven’t seen any instance of a banner disappearing like that on pickup, only on ground or hand, presumably after their timer expires.
- I haven’t seen disappearing on pickup bundles with no skills, like Reflecting crystals.
- I haven’t seen disappearing environmental weapons with 2 or more skills, like the Hammer in the Collosus fractal or a plank.
- I haven’t seen disappearing environmental weapons created by the one on hand, like when a plank breaks and gives you a throwable plank piece.

Anet has been busy nerfing elementalists’ skills but cannot even fix this problem?
