Guild Wars 2

Even when they supposed to be stowed, they’re still glued to players hands.

This bug seems to affect not all weapons equally. For example all daggers appear to be drawn at all times (only those carried by other characters) but pistols remain holstered.

No, not really. I saw pistols being drawn, and daggers stowed. So it’s random.

I’d just like this issue to be fixed. It is unrelated to character quality and limit settings, and persists throughout the range of each from highest to lowest.

Because at this point I would much rather have culling back than to have to look at this nonsense on every single player character. Actually I would really like an option to re enable culling. I liked not seeing the swarm of nameplates. Now, even if I disable “Show all player names”, I still see nameplates in the distance even though those around me are hidden, which is completely counterintuitive and ugly.

Since the update everyone in town is holding their weapons including the npcs. My character seems normal but if you notice in my picture everyone else has their weapons in their hands even if its sheathed. I relogged and rezoned to see if it would fix but it won’t. Not sure if anyone else has this bug but let me know if you do.

PC specs AMD 8 core 8150 4.5ghz, 32gigs ram, and 2 radeon hd 7970s.

im having it as well, i think its a visual bug, not really nice to see and ruins gameplay experience

i hope it’s a bug and gets fixed.

After the last patch everyone’s weapons are stuck in their hands even when they are stowed.

same here, people holding weapons in their hands instead of putting them on their back

would be neat to be able to do this.

If I may add, the bug is not confined to NPCs and Players, it affects minis too. Liadri has recently decided to glue her staff to her hand too.

I can confirm this happens to me as well. Weapons come in drawn when the full model is loaded for every character except my own.

I’m so glad I found this thread! I thought I was going crazy, and I really didn’t see anyone else talking about it in my guild or anything. There seems to be no reason for the problem as my pic below shows two NPCs next to each other, one with weapon stowed and the other with it out.

It’s happening to me as well. Everyone in cities have their weapons drawn out.

Same here since last patch

This is happening to me as well. Looks horrible T.T Please fix soon!

Everyone is in danger! Hostile zones everywhere! Yeah, bugged.

I can confirm this issue. I have been experiencing it ever since the removal of culling in PvE, every single time I log in, and it persists whatever I do, save for party members whose weapons appear sheathed. I’d love this bug to be fixed soon, it breaks immersion as others have stated, as it presents a very disturbing vision.

Thanks for the report, phiplayer! I’ve escalated this issue.

I appreciate that this issue has been escalated. What I would really like to know, is if this is something that is NOT intended. Is it something that is being looked at to be fixed, or is it just the way the game will render now without the newest hardware.

I also found this yesterday while doing map completion in Lornar’s Pass. A “Passed out Drunk” who was standing up and definitely not “passed out”. I know it’s not a huge deal, the npc still responded to my bucket of water, and I got credit with the heart.

The issue is that I have not experienced this kind of stuff in the game before. I’m working on my third 100% map completion. Everything was always very smooth, and very few “errors” like this. Since this last patch I have been experiencing a lot of problems.

An answer one way or the other about this would be helpful. Thanks.

When is the fix coming? Is it even coming?

Or at least if they said “this is not intended and we are looking at it, and working on a fix” The silence about from the developers is very frustrating.

This bug still happens , although not everywhere from my experience . But everyone in the major city has this drawn weapon effect. Hope we get a fix soon looks weird.

Still seeing this.

In town ALL other players have their weapons in hand, but are idle (so they have swords sticking through them etc). Seems like it might be effecting NPCs as well.

I don’t have the problem with my staff… I have an ATI Radeon™ HD 6770M 2048MB dedicated with 3813MB shared for a total of 6373 MB, so I wonder if my card is new/powerful enough to not have the problem?

it nothimg to do with your graphics also that card isn’t that new or powerfull it 2 gens behind now we now moving to 9000 seris amd my cards a 7790 and that’s only a high mid range card

I just wanted to add that ive been watching this thread. A bit disapointed its been going on this long since the removal of culling.. I too see the issue. Ive noticed too funny enough if someone does a combat move. After they leave the combat stance and go to sheath their weapons the weapons then go back into the proper position…

Yay! No more weapons glued to hands!…It’s fixed!
