Guild Wars 2

This has happened to me in almost every attempt I’ve had so I had to put up a video showcasing it. There are no aoes on the ground, nothing is hitting you, but you take either 3000+ a hit or 600+ a hit from “fireball”. In my vid you’ll see that I cleanses the burning 3 times, back to back, before going down. Biggest kitten off is that when I went down, I had burning again!

I’m pretty sure this is due to an old “lingering attack” on the ground. It stays there even after the textures go away making it impossible for the player to know that there’s even a threat sitting there on the ground.

Another super annoying bug (probably) is that you take multiple hits from the same attack (obv the ground based crap is the worst for it). That pic right there shows the very moment I touched the fire. It hit me 4 times instantly for 10497 total damage. 3 ticks were over 3k and one was over 600. I would understand if the fire did ticks of 600s but 3000s?! And just for touching the outside of an already shot projectile.

Imo the stuff on the ground should do slighly less damage but the punches from the berzerker should do about double the damage. Far to easy for tanky characters to just stand inside the guy and melee him to death.

Here’s another one as proof that I wasn’t lying or exaggerating about the bug. This one kitten me off especially since there were 0 aoes around as I had just gotten cornered and barely escaped, broke his enraged (he’s even still stunned from the speech he does), then died to invisible insta kill from the ground. If you’re not going to fix this animation issue at least make it work with revealed. Have the freaking fire trap show its face after it thoroughly messes with your day.

I’ve ran into the same thing twice now, both times I just sat there saying wtf. I’ll record the next time and see if when it happens if there was an AOE attack there before hand and its just only visually gone. Never thought of that.

Added new content

Had this happen several times as well. There is a thread in the bugs forum. No acknowledgement.

I even looked at the bug forum and didn’t see a thing. Thought posting in here would garner more attention as well.

I have also had this happen to me a few times. There are no aoes on the ground, no attacks coming towards me, and I have no conditions, yet I suddenly start taking massive damage.

It is pretty difficult to react to something that isn’t there.

This really needs to be fixed. Dungeon is currently plagued with bugs. This is just one of many

New content bugged at release? That must be new, never happened before to Arenanet. But hey, it’s going to be around only a couple of weeks, so it will be forgotten soon. Like Halloween, Wintersday and Lost Shore releases.

:( you just made me miss Halloween and lost shores. Really hope that when that progress bar reaches 0 we get an awesome event like the lost shores one. I didn’t mind how long it took, was actual fun to me and the reward actually made precursor prices attainable! Was just sad I had a grand total of 5g at the end of the event. Would have bought my precursor if I could back then.
