Guild Wars 2

Hi,

After loading my thief after today’s patch (16 December 2014) I’ve noticed the flame on my [Incinerator] is not working as it used to. When you unsheathe it, it appears, but then goes out after a second. Then, it only appears briefly again after using a skill.

Has the Wintersday snow made it too cold to ignite properly?

I have the same problem…

Yeah, I hope that’s a bug…

Edit: same for Bolt, the lightning effect on the sword disappears after half a second as well

Fix it now !! who even tested this patch…. no one?plisss i miss it already

Edit: yeah bolt buged to. dont ingnor this………… plisssssssssssss

Same Problem with my legendary weapons…..

Yeah I had the same problem as well. Please fix it Anet! This is a legendary for god sake.

Same here…

Same here… if this isn’ t a bug and Anet rly wants this → i will quit the game… if not → pls fix this crap!

of course it’s a bug, the question is, whether it will be fixed before they go on holiday…

Same issue with Frostfang. Isn’t breathing ice anymore.

Three bugs on one character, that’s gonna bother me quite a lot. ;<

same, its like the wintersday cold just extinguishes my 3k gold flame. :/

I have the same problem!

Yep same here, gutted as I only made it just over a week ago -.-

Bolt…. Please Fix

It appears Eternity, Twilight, Sunrise, and Kudzu are fine.
OP Can you change thread title to reflect Bolt too? Might get more of Anet’s attention this way.

Back item problem seems related to it…. People report that they do not move after 1 cycle…

Can report that Quip is okey too.

very good opportunity to check out Howler as it hasn’t had it’s effects for months

Incinerator → The Flame-blade goes away, a few seconds after attacking…
Bolt → The lightning of the blade itself goes away … same issue…

I sum it up for you

Bolt – No Lightining on weapon after some time
Incinerator – No flame
Moot – No shining on the head after some time
Frostfang – no breathing after sometime
Juggernaut – No silver effect after some time
Predator – No fire after some time

Ok, I’m going to send over a synopsis of this situation. Please “fact check” me, ok?

• Flame for [Incinerator] is not working properly: When you unsheathe it, the flame appears, but then goes out after a second. Then, it only appears briefly again after using a skill.

• Flame for [Bolt] also disappears after half a second

• Flames on [Legendary Weapons] (can we be specific) also have issues.

• Flames on Eternity, Twilight, Sunrise, and Kudzu and reported to be fine.

• [Frostfang] is not breathing ice.

Does that sum it up?

Are you guys submitting in-game bugs using the “ladybug” symbol in the report menu?

Thank you, and yeah Bolt and Incinerator are behaving exactly the same. You can use a skill and the lightning will appear on the weapon for a second then disappear.

ALSO BACK ITEMS: Fractal Capacitor and Beta Fractal Capacitor have a small cube in the center that are supposed to rotate as shown in the hero panel preview. It will rotate for one second on equip then stop.

There is also the Chaos of Lyssa, back items-wise. The head doesn’t spin anymore.
And dragon wings are frozen too.

Moot turns out aswell

Flameseeker shield aswell

Jugger has the silver liquid sticking out in bottom

Awesome Gaile. Yeah it seems to (as already mentioned) impact Incinerator (flames off after a second), Bolt (no currents on the blade) and several other legendaries as well. Seems obvious the legendary bug is linked with the backpiece bug. There’s also a bug with fractals as people don’t seem to be getting end rewards chests (the bonus one with the pristine relic etc.).

Thanks Gaile. Hopefully they’ll fix this issue in some time.

Same problem…

I’ve seen this coming a long time ago. The sanctions against russia have made Putin stop the gas deliveries and now our incinerators are out of fuel. Shame on you, western politicians!

So… while ANET fix the whole gas problem i would like a couple of forks to defend myself.

Thank you, Anet. Problem Fixed – Incinerator.

having the same issue with incinerator. game also cant update due to connection failed… thanks for doing this during primetime… thank you release manager plz.

Don’t forget that Howler has no nighttime effects anymore and has been broken forever. Getting that fixed would be great.

Predator’s aura keeps disappearing.

Gaile Gray.6029:

Thanks for the report, Akira. Can you other folks let us know if the issue is cleared for you, as well? It should be — the whole situation was interrelated.

I am happy the team was able to get this addressed so quickly!

Bolt is fixed thanks

It is fixed for me too. Thank you Gaile and The Team

Predator’s aura keeps disappearing.

cheshader — is this new since the update today? Or how long has it been happening?

Well, I never noticed it happening before, now it keeps disappearing in areas with large population (like zerg at world bosses). Sometimes it comes back after switching to another weapon/kit and back, sometimes it doesn’t. Footprints are ok.
Would consider it as the game lowering level of graphical details, but as I said, never saw (or at least noticed) it before.

Khani — do you have any idea when that started? I’d like to report, but if I had a tad more info, it’d be wonderful.

Since the April 15 2014 patch.

Thanks for finding those. I was just getting ready to pull up those exact same threads.

Here’s another I found:

Gaile Gray.6029:

Awesome — thanks a ton for those threads! It really helps to have this information.

I’ll send off a report now.

Thanks Gaile….any word on if they’re working on a fix for Howler. I don’t care about an ETA at this point since it’s been broken for so long. Just knowing that they are going to fix it would be enough for me right now.

Also the howler mist aura is bugged along with the night time affects. I didnt see that mentioned yet. The mist aura randomly disappears like many of the other auras that were bugged. I noticed it disappears far more than frostfangs(as sometimes ill have frostfang effect but not howlers) . Happens mostly when i exit an area that was riddled with particle effects from spells or when a group of people crowd together to get loot or a chest.

Is the bolt aura still bugged?On the wiki page it is said that it is bugged and I don’t know if you guys from anet still working on it as last post was a year ago plz contact me if you see this post
