Guild Wars 2

Hello. I have searched the forums to see if I could find anyone else having issues with this bug and could not, so I decided to make a post about it and hope that I’m not alone and/or I could get some feedback from the Devs. I just recently finished crafting the Mawdrey Back Item and wear it on my ranger. I have noticed a visual bug on the back item when using the ranger’s longbow skill Hunter’s Shot. This skill grants players invisibility for 3 seconds and causes the character to become transparent. This is when the visual bug happens. There’s a massive square on my back where the Mawdrey Back Item is located. It only looks this way while in invisibility stealth mode. I’ve attached a picture right after casting Hunter’s Shot and in stealth invisibility mode since it’s kind of hard to describe what I’m talking about here. Does anyone else have the issue? It’s not a huge problem, other than just ugly and odd to look at. I wonder if it has anything to do with my computer or not? I’ve never experienced this with any other back items or any other items in the game before or currently. Below are some specs of my computer in case the additional information helps. Thanks!

OP: Windows 8.1 64-Bit
Processor: AMD FX- 8350 Eight Core Processor 4.00 GHz
RAM: 8 GB
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 650

Any armor pieces that have a particle effect will do this when stealthed.

They just recently fixed this for all the weaponry…. so I would assume it will be fixed sooner than later.

All they have to do is disable all particle effects during stealth.

It’s a long-known issue. It was especially noticeable with the Achievement armor. I’m sure they will fix it when time permits. =)

I had no idea it was a long known issue. Thanks for the information.

Okay, whew, so I’m not the only one! This is currently happening to my character during Hunter’s Shot with my Berserker’s Pearl Stinger, transmuted to Sovereign Greatbow. It’s unfortunate, because all the rest of the game’s graphics are so lovely, and then there’s this big glitchy shadow cube around my longbow when I stealth.

CrimeDog, did yours ever get fixed?
