Guild Wars 2

Since some of the performance improvements, a large amount of effects in the game have become completely invisible. This issue was introduced at the start of the Queens Pavilion update.

In the dredge Fractal, the lava buckets do not animate, and the molten steel effect is invisible.

In Sorrow’s Embrace story mode, the lava buckets at the Iron Forgeman also do not animate, and the molten steel is invisible. (So players will just start burning, without a visible source)

In the Aetherblade jumping puzzle (not-do-secret) in Gendarren Fields, all the steam and fire effects from the traps, are invisible. This means players are knocked back and set on fire by things they cannot see.

I’ll like to add that the rolling balls of fiery death in CoF P1 was invisible to 80% of my Pug party earlier today (including me). The weird thing was i can clearly see the rolling balls of fiery death in the Volcanic/Grawl fractal!

And what is it with the 2 new cutscenes added for the start and end portions of the rolling balls of fiery death section of the Volcanic fractal? Was it even necessary?

Claw of Jormag’s animations have also been wonky since the Cutthroat Politics patch. Sometimes he just stands there doing his idle animation instead of the appropriate attack animation (most noticeable when he fears twice in a row, the second fear animation never plays). It doesn’t seem to be a problem on my end because my boyfriend sees the same thing on his computer. It started around the same time the dredge fractal buckets stopped animating properly, so perhaps the issues are related.
