I might have liked to make Howler, but hearing all the non-legendary things that have happened to it is incredibly disappointing.
I’m actually considering…

So … the Howler Fix thread that was in General Discussion has been merged with this one (presumably by someone from ANet) but still no-one from ANet has the courtesy to respond to any of the points made in this now merged thread.
And to think I received a forum infraction for something I posted in this thread earlier which was deemed to be mildly disrespectful. The irony just knocks me out.
I’m confused. Is this move/merge an admission that Howler’sFarter’s Wheezer’s shortage of legendary qualities IS, in fact, a bug? Or is it just a way of sweeping the topic under the rug where the general population won’t have to look at it?
I for one am kinda glad its in the bug section now. That’s the first step to getting it fixed I think. At least it will get consideration as a bug and not just seen as “player whining”.
I think if we can keep this thread going and show how much we want this fixed someone will eventually pay attention. 9 pages and counting worth of comments should cause some attention hopefully.
1 year and 6 months since the first bug on howler was reported.
1 year and 7 months since ANET replied to that report ( oh wait ^^ sarcasm )
lets see if they fix it before GW4 is launched.

Given the pitiful response so far I suspect the latter. Hope I’m wrong.
I’m also wondering if this got moved here to die. Not nearly as many people come here as they do the general discussion…..
Hope not though. I’m always keeping tabs on Thai thread even tho I don’t have Howler. I’m not really interested in making it anymore either but I think you guys deserve a working real legendary weapon.
Well I just made Howler about an hour or so ago and was disappointed to see it not doing the effects I was convinced it was supposed to have… Googled it and here I am. Wow. Um… wow. First you take 2 years to fix the bug on my Kudzu, and now I just wasted all this time and money making Howler for it to not have Howler effects. Thanks Anet you’re doing a great job as usual.

I feel your pain. Same here a few weeks ago I made Howler and after the initial excitement I realized it didn’t do most of the things it was supposed to do. Very Disappointing
The thread for fixing Howler and other Legendaries is now in the BUGS forum. Please go there to voice your outrage of ANET not fixing items we worked so hard for.
Well, It moving to the bug section might mean It’s confirmed that at least the Moon not appearing during night is a bug. This is of course wishful thinking but eh!

Plz fix it, I dont want my legend looks like a prec when HoT lauched, Anet Plz QAQ.
OK my current issues with howler
1. The awesome night effect is missing.
2. Mist aura disappears like half of the time even sometimes with only a few npcs or players nearby
3. The Mist step effect is missing when paired with other legendary like incinerator, when equipped with both on my necro I can only see the fire step effect of incinerator the Mist step effect does not show up at all ( and yes I checked very carefully under high res to make sure its not just Mist step effect too weak to be seem). Edit: Ok so this is not a bug but still the mist footstep effect alone is very weak compared to other footstep effects.
Additional Edit: today I came by help a newbie party, my incinerator draw their attentions but none actually noticed my howler >.<, this saying sth.
As long as we keep this on the first couple of pages, more people will see it. And they’ll all need a place to post when precursor crafting is available. The first person that doesn’t know Howler is buggered and makes it from scratch will probably implode.
if you guys see any ANET member running around ingame spam report about this. i saw an ANET member running on WvWvW the other day and completely forgot to mention this..i feel bad about forgetting.. but whenever you see them…DO US A FAVOR… and ask about this
… the lack of red posts in this topic is incredible! /sarcasm off
…
“And thus, she was never able to craft a legendary. She wanted to choose the weapon herself, but the almighty gods of Tyria whispered ‘Meteorlogicus…Meteorlogicus! Just do it, we know you want it’. Was this already the time to give up or-?”
…
Oh yeah, the constructive feedback is missing! (my posts just mysteriously “vanish” if there aren’t any! :p)
- I want the night effect back
- that horn sound is no good, make it at least sound like ruriks horn from gw1
- footsteps are almost invisible
Thank you!
(I’m not angry or anything, just getting a bit impatient)
Glad to see this at the top of the page. I’m deciding to commit to building a legendary (finally), so my choices are Howler or Meteorlogicus, dependent completely on whether Howler gets fixed.
Please don’t make me get the silly cloud stick. ;_;

Number 3 is not a bug. Footfalls do not stack or work with each other like auras. Your main hand weapon will determine the footfall. The rest are definitely issues.

True but what is a bug is that the foot falls sometimes randomly stop working as does the mist around you. That needs to be addressed.
Apparently posting my frustration about the lack of attention to our plight is being responded to with forum infractions. Anyone else getting infractions? I know reading this thread a few others have noted that they did. So basically they remove our posts from general discussion where we can freely talk about this issue and give us infractions for talking about our frustration in the bugs section because it isn’t constructive criticism. So we’re not allowed to complain when we as a community see something wrong with the game?
Apparently so. Indignation caused by ANet’s total lack of response to this issue is worthy of infraction as it is deemed discourteous. As I said earlier I find this hugely ironic.
There is no constructive criticism to be given here. We just want something that is broken fixed. Difficult to be positive about that. Although for avoidance of doubt I think GW2 is a fabulous game. Just please make my legendary look like one again.

Unfortunately, that’s quite true. I get infractions all time if I don’t add “the same” constructive feedback over and over again to my posts, which is pretty unconstructive in its own way tbh, but this “seems” to be the rule here.
I just find it kinda ironic that we are not allowed to state our frustration “emotionally” without these useless repeats (it’s not like some1 was swearing or sth). The angrier ppl get, the more important is the matter for them, if they don’t have an opinion or act all reserved, they usually don’t care that much. That’s something that counts for every form of medium out there, things improve when there is critism. The GW2 forum is the first gaming discussion platform I ever saw that has such harsh restrictions for stating your point.
Oh yes, the “delete protection”:
-give us an epic sound
-return the night effect
-more visible footsteps pls
It’s a shame to read this thread and see how much this legendary has been butchered and neglected. It’s always been my favorite since it really reminds me of Fenrir and I want it for my ranger. I grabbed the precursor for like 20g back during the Karka event and I started playing again recently. It should be a no-brainer for me to make this weapon but I may be better off working on something else entirely.
This is a warhorn, so a distinct and noticeable sound should be central to the weapon. If the sound is annoying to some players then that’s just too bad for them I’d say.
The moon is also a big deal. If it’s really gone please fix.
Yet another patch where they didn’t fix this. Sigh.
I know. It’s not like fixing a sound bite and a graphic skin are major game engine mechanics. Even fixing this little by little would be something. Fix the sound. Then bring back the moon a month or 2 later then fix the fog and foot falls not working half the time some time after that. At least it would be progress.
I created a ingame report for this.
It says ingame that if you send a report it goes straight to the dev team.
You guys should do the same. If we get enough ingame tickets about this we might see something.
And dont forget to mention on the report that it is bugged for more than a year and that there is a topic created for a very long time with 0 feedback.
So apparently the dreamer was updated in the last patch, some changes were made to the sound.
My jaw actually fell open when I read that, I don’t think I have seen any posts about the dreamer’s sound, yet it gets a tweak and howler gets nothing.

The frustration is real.
New dreamer sounds like someone is killing horses. Long sound effect + constant sound overlap created quip 2.0. I would not call that a good change.

Good or bad change at least its getting some attention. More than what we’ve got.

Yeah I just did the same. We all should.
BTW I use Howler on my Necro. The wolf animation gets covered up by the skill animations. Any other profession has this problem?

yeah Wolf howling animation is hardly noticeable on its own anyways, I always want them to change it to when you use a skill 2 or 3 mist wolves show up and howl around you.

Mist wolves would be cool. I’d just be happy with it if they made the wolf graphic bigger and stand out more. At least make it stay on screen a few seconds longer. The have a bow that shoots unicorns and they can’t make a wolf stay on the screen for more than a second. If everything else wasn’t broken I wouldn’t even complain but the stuff that works is weak (well the wolf covered up by the other animation is technically a clipping error). But the foot falls while not a bug is so weak (well them not working half the time is a bug I guess) and the mist …
OMG everything about Howler is bugged. I never thought it through… figured some effects were just weak and the cool effects were bugged but here’s a list of BUGS
Night time effect is gone.
Howl is not noticable (This is the only one that might technically not be a bug – still sucks)
Footfalls don’t work all the time. Sometimes if they don’t show up I have to jump to get them back
Mist doesn’t work all the time. Sometime it randomly doesn’t show.
Wolf image when using WH skills is covered by skill animations.
Well … I logged in to post an in-game report. If you think any of those go straight to a dev. if they aren’t flagged as preventing progress in the game then you’re probably delusional.
The recent changes to The Dreamer just increase my dissatisfaction with this game these days. Why change something that no-one was complaining about and ignore all the requests to return Howler to what it was? Baffling.
GW2 is a great game but they sure don’t encourage people to play it. Still no-one has the courtesy to respond to this thread. It’s just plain rude.

I’m 100% sure the devs know about this issue. For some unknown and possible higher up / management reasons we aren’t getting info on this. I’m also sure Gaile would have responded with a post by now if there wasn’t something else going on. Of course more pressure from the community doesn’t hurt. I’m just not sure if we should wave the white flag on this issue at this point because it seems rather hopeless. Or maybe I’m just feeling pessimistic today. :-/
Are there any news on this topic yet? It’s only a matter of time until we reach page 10 without any “red” posts… please prove me wrong on this one, ArenaNet!

We can’t give up. This is almost the type of issue we should take up with customer service. Lot’s of people spent time and money (gems) to get Howler and then they mess it up. You but/lease a car with a nice shiny rims a spoiler and in your favorite color and when you get it serviced they change the rims to crappy hubcaps, remove the spoiler and paint it puke green you’d be up in arms. This is not what we worked for so it needs to be addressed. If this was done in any other thing than a video game there would be a class action lawsuit started. I’m sure they have their legal team that protected them when we signed up but this is just messed up.
The reason they didnt respond to this thread yet is not because someone higher on the team told them not to do so.. or that they are busy with HOT or that there is something going on..
It is quite simple.
The reason they didnt respond yet is because THEY DONT CARE..
Pretty simple.
Sorry but that is the truth..
I really think some kind of compensation is in order for the amount of time and resources it took to make this legendary and the lack of attention we’ve received. I’ve actully spent money in the gem store. Maybe that’s the only thing they will understand. Perhaps we should all agree to boycott the gem store until they at least give us an answer. Ask all your friends and guildmates to consider doing the same.
This is what we want:
1 Night time effects back
2 Better sound
3 mist effects + footprints to work all the time
4 the wolf more prominent and not hidden by skill effects.
Seems ANET is acting like every other company where money is the bottom line so a boycott might be the only thing they hear. Personally not to sound elitist but people who make Legendaries need a special forum as I’ve noticed other complaining about theirs. To make a legendary weapon you need to be dedicated to the game at an above average level so why kitten on the people who are your most dedicated? That’s bad business.

Boycotting wouldn’t work. It’s not a big enough issue for everyone to boycott and as soon as they put something new and cool in the gem store people will buy it. I mean you can try but the odds of that actually working are lower than the odds of getting a Dev response to this thread. At least in my opinion anyway. But I don’t want to fully discourage you from trying. Besides the forums/Reddit there is no effective way to get this issue addressed. And since the forums are going ignored …. :-/
Gem store boycott is futile. If we can’t get a reply on a thread in the official forum that someone has clearly noticed and taken the trouble to move from one section to another then the odd person boycotting the gem store isn’t going to get noticed. Can’t quite believe there’s still no ANet response to this thread – shabby, very shabby.
I already faced it wont get fixed..
HoT comming.and along with that comes lots og new bugs yet to be discovered and reported..
And so devs gonna focus on the new stuff because it is “cool” and forget about old problems like this one..
It is bugged for 1 and a half year already.. so they figured we are already getting used to it.
The precursor horn is wayyyy cheaper than other precursors as well.. not because it is easy to be obtained.. but because of the state of the legendary horn itself..
So ghe whole community already adapted to this fact:
Legendary warhorn is just broken..
But still offers the easiest way to change stats and some unique effects, even if bad ones.. that is why it costs less then 50% of other precursors that actually works..
