I figured I’d post this as nobody seems to have brought it up before, and I was wondering if anyone else had the same issue.
When firing the longbow continuously (dual shot on Warrior) it seems to cycle through several different animations, and they don’t always play correctly. In the ‘correct’ animation, you are seen pulling the string back and the bow bends with you. In another animation, which I’m not sure is intentional or partially bugged, you pull the string back but the bow does not bend. And the entirely broken one, which I’ve included a screenshot of, you do not ‘catch’ the string and the bow does not bend but the arrow still fires. Just for clarification, the screenshot is taken before the shot was released.
I’m not sure what can be done with this but I doubt it is my game client as I have verified all of the files successfully. At the very least I’d like to bring this to the attention of the developers.
Yep it’s definitely a bug. It’s weird tho cos it doesn’t happen with every bow. For ex my eir’s longbow fires ok while my ghastly longbow is bugged. Like there were 2 “basic” longbow skins.
strange… I have ot on my ranger. but the bow bends and the bow string snaps as should… my problem is that the beautiful swirl animatio(which imo is the BEST out of all the other AC weapon animations almost worthy of Legendary status, almost) GOES AWAY once you attack! this is such a HUGE disappointment as this bow is soooo sick looking. I understand that the animation only occurs at night which is fine i understand but why does it dissipate wheen i attack. such a sad sad bug. heart broken lil asuran ranger i am. BTW it has been this way since game launch (or after the 1st week when i hit 80). PLEASE ARENA NET fix this. it is such an awesoe weapon and it sucks that you can’t even enjoy it unless you don’t use it…. kinda counterintuitive.
