When I logged into the game today, I found that I was unable to activate my Churning Earth dagger skill neither by clicking it (the button does not even highlight when I hover over it) nor by using the hotkey. Though the fifth earth skill does not work, all of the other elements’ fifth skills work properly.
In addition to this issue, the earth animation remains on my character’s wrists no matter which element I am currently attuned to. See the attached photo to see my character attuned to fire but showing both the fire and earth animations simultaneously.
I attempted to restart the game multiple times, quick travel to different maps, and also to equip a different weapon and then switch back again. No luck.
All kinds of ANIMATION GLITCHES in the recent past weeks. Look at the lingering Ranger Swoop Animation that doesn’t go away once it gets stuck unless you leave the map. A real problem if you WvW on a queued server. It’s very annoying and makes it difficult to hear skill sounds and other animations and movements.
I’ve reported it in game and on this “BUG” forum a couple of times. No feedback from Anet. -.-
If it were only the animation, I would not care that much if it took them a while to fix, however, this glitch is also causing me to not be able to use a skill that I commonly utilize in my rotation. That is a glitch I imagine should be taken care of quickly but it does not seem to be garnishing enough attention.
It seems that TONS of skill animations are lingering. I have seen characters with chains still attached to them 20 minutes after getting hooked. I seen mesmers use blink and still have a purple vortex swirling around them, even after porting to a different area of the map. Most recently, I saw a ranger with the eagle spirit still attached to him for long after he used the skill. Its confusing and annoying. I keep thinking people got some new armor or something like that.
