Guild Wars 2

Title pretty much says it all. With the carpet equipped as my glider skin I can glide perfectly well but there’s no sign of what I’m gliding on!

As an asura I appear to be levitating, standing bolt upright. It looks quite cool but presumably it’s not intended. At first I though it was lag but it’s not – it’s consistent. Same on both Alpine and Desert BLs.

Are you sure it’s not a display issue unique to your machine? (In other words, does anyone else see the carpet? Or no one?)

There are quite a lot of graphical “artifacts” that are caused by the game losing track of files. (Happens with any huge data file, such as the one used for GW2.) This often fixes itself with a new update or restarting the game. If it doesn’t, it’s often helpful to do a -repair on the data file. (Instructions available in the knowledge base: click on “support” above and search for “repair”.)

Same for me, the magic carpet glider is not visible for my asura.

Mine does not show on my asura either but that is on the pve map i switch to other gliders and those are no problem but no carpet.

Okay, I have tested this fairly thoroughly now:

1. The Magic Carpet glider is not visible in either PvE or WvW. Maps I have tested are Alpine and Desert Borderlands and Eternal Battlegrounds, Wayfarer Foothills, Straits of Devastation and Verdant Brink.

2. The bug only affects Asura characters. I can see the carpet-glider in PvE and WvW on a Charr, Sylvari and Human character. I don’t have a Norn who has access to the Carpet to test.

3. The Carpet Glider is not visible to other players when I use it.

4. I have run -repair. It makes no difference.

5. The Magic Carpet is visible and works normally when used as in the original manner (as a Toy providing a ground “mount”) but if I run off a cliff on the carpet and then enable the glider the Carpet disappears and I glide with no visible means of support.

As far as I am aware the Carpet Glider was working in PvE maps before the patch that enabled gliding in WvW but I can’t be absolutely sure of this as I can’t remember for certain when I last used it in PvE. I do usually use it every day though.

Hope this is helpful and that it gets fixed soon – the Carpet is literally the only glider I have ever had any interest in using!

its fixed now..
