Guild Wars 2

Lately ghosts and mesmer clones are showing up not looking ghostly. It’s not consistent, but pretty frequent.

Do we have to have so many updates? There have been 3 since yesterday. I can only game about 10 hours a week, and each update takes like 20 minutes, so I’m losing a lot of game time for these more-than-once-a-day updates.

Personally, if I were running the show, I’d TEST the software on a test server, and restrict updates to no more than once a week. But young people always think they know better than us old programmers.

Here’s a quick screenshot of 2 unghostly ghosts in Ashford, taken just a few minutes ago. I haven’t noticed anything with the mesmer phantasms yet, but then again I haven’t been playing my mesmer the past couple days. Will post if I get a screenshot!

For now I’m chalking it up to it’s all Scarlet’s fault…her constant world invasions are sucking away the ghostly essence from mesmers and ghosts (hey that power’s gotta come from somewhere, right?).

Crystaline Entities in Arah path 1 are also victims of this nasty bug. I can’t RP properly.

I had this happen in Diessa. Strangely, the next batch of ghosts that respawned after I killed the bugged ones were normal.

Spirit wolf of Vollym the fierce are also fleshy.

I had this in Diessa last night…all the Ascalonian ghosts were dressed as Separatists and very much corporeal Their weaponry was still ghostly though, bizarrely

All ghosts have lost their ghostly glow since update. I confirm this. Even ghostly catapults in Diessa are real now.

Also, ranger spirits are real and not ghostly.

Have you tried adjusting the wvw/pve quality/culling slider to a higher setting?

It might be connected to this recent change:

All Phantasms: The ghostly effect on phantasms should no longer fail to show up in low graphics settings.
