Guild Wars 2

I’ve been fiddling with this since the beta, unable to find a solution on my end.

The problem is: With certain camera distances/angles , the 2nd hammer skill for guardians makes the camera do a weird thing. Right after the hammer hit the ground, the camera zooms in really close, filling the screen with the blue and white particle effects for a split second, and then goes back to the original position. This a very minor thing, and it only happens for a fraction of a second, but it does happen very often and it makes playing with a hammer kind of disorienting. It does not seem to be an issue with my setup, but i’ve tried messing with my external settings too.

I’m attaching 2 screenshots, one taken right before the glitch and one with the camera zoomed in because of it. The difference in time between the two is less than a second.

Note that I’m an Asura, this might be a problem with this specific race.

What I’ve tried so far: different combinations of graphic settings, updating the Catalyst drivers and different settings for the AMD Catalyst control center

Setup: Intel i5 2500K, AMD Radeon 6950, 120 Hz monitor

Off topic:
Since I’m talking about hammers and camera, I’d like to add a complaint about camera shake. It does give a better sense of impact and overall I like it, but with certain weapons (like the hammer), so many abilities have camera shake that it gets disorienting after a while. When you add that other peoples abilities also shake your camera, it gets very annoying when playing in large groups.

I actually thought I was the only one having this problem. I play asura as well and I think the camera glitch is connected to the low camera position somehow. When I played my charr to level 80 I didn’t experience the problem at all.

I made a video on youtube to show how it looks for me: http://youtu.be/lvTW_-rlB1E

A similar bug happened with Banish, where the terrain would disappear during two frames (maybe the camera was going under the ground), just when the hammer hit the enemy. That one seems to have been fixed, though.

Yes, I saw his movies. I hope they get rid of this one too cuz it really hurts the eyes. I can only play with light weapons atm.
