Guild Wars 2

This is happening after the latest update. Tried some underwater combat with my mesmer using the spear and noticed it misses at melee range. The only way to make it not miss is to swim actually inside the mobs.

I’ve noticed this after the latest update. Tried some underwater combat with my mesmer using the spear and noticed it misses at melee range. The only way to make it not miss is to swim actually inside the mobs.

Yip Ive noticed that to and some dialogue in Map chat suggests its frustrating alot of players now… I just went to kill some crabs to test the theory and I could’nt register a single hit.

I tried to change my spear to blue kind, still misses…

This is kittening hilarious and confirmed for me as well.

Was SO happy with the update. Until I went in the water and now Raging mad at this. You are trying to remove the evade portion from the skill aren’t you? The next question is WHY??? Why is it when we find the littlest thing that makes the game easier you have to take it away?

This isn’t an oop’s, this was purposeful. A Mesmer’s Spear EVADES, just as a Mesmer’s Sword EVADES!! Of all the things to nerf, nerf stealth! Which everyone other than a thief complains is too powerful and really brings down gameplay.

because Anet hates the mesmer.. same old same old

Anyway, just confirming that I also see the bug.

+1 on the bug here, annoying as hell.

Thanks for reporting this, it was extremely annoying last night trying to complete my daily aquatic slayer achievement.

So that’s what was happening last night while trying to get aquatic slayer..

I had the same issue with it last night on my Mesmer. Didn’t think about it too much and just switched to my other weapon.

As the title says, 100% miss rate with a spear underwater.
Character is a female human mesmer with a spear using the first ability (stab/jab/evasive strike.) The other abilities will work but not the first skill, it always says miss and does 0 dmg.
I tried swimming into the monster and all around it, all I got were misses for several minutes before giving up and killing with trident.

My mesmer is also having this problem.

I cannot speak to any spear ability other then the first. This is a new character just learning her weapon skills.

For now: staying out of the water.

Thanks for the great game!

Yea can confirm this…

This bug should be one of the top priority bug that need to be fixed asap as it is making mesmer unable to attack with spear…

Well, just wanted to note that I’m PRETTY sure this has something to do with the update on hitboxes on inanimate objects, so if you’ve yet to figure out why this bug came to be, please start looking there.

yes annoying bug.

Also Mesmer iZerker is doing less damage… No clones in WvW are spawning with weapons on top of the current bugs… This all needs addressed ASAP because while the buffs to the prestige were cool.. More stuff got screwed up than buffed… Nice. REAL NICE>

Title says all. Skills 2-5 work fine, but skill 1 doesn’t ever hit since the patch.

How to reproduce:

Go underwater with a mesmer, equip spear, attack something with #1, watch the “miss” text show up over and over again, even well within melee range.

Please prioritize this, I’ve spent over 150 hours working on Kamohoali’i Kotaki and now I can’t even use a spear anymore because of this bug.

Confirm! This is really annoying, especially on underwater Fractal! I died so many times cuz of this bug! :P I always forget about it!

I confirm this too.
Azura/mesmer with spear. Slot 1 always miss

I confirm this too.
Azura/mesmer with spear. Slot 1 always miss

Same here, misses all time, annoying, seems to be like 0-5 range from target seems to make it possible to hit?, you have to be inside enemy for this…
hit is possible, but almost impossible, 1/1000 I’d say

confirming this, it’s a new bug from February patch, it used to work fine

Confirmed here as well. Human mesmer. I’ve seen only one hit with the Stab skill, which (I think) was due to extreme proximity as UnknownFreak suggested. Using Auto-Attack or simply mashing the 1 key, the outcome is the same.

still not working >.<

spear not working for me but trident yes

I can confirm this.
Mesmer spear auto-attack is missing 99% of the time

BUT

you can perfectly strike underwater objects like cages etc.
Maybe the change on melee attacks at inanimated objects caused this weird behaviour.

I too have noticed this bug on my Mesmer. I have yet to get a single hit from my spear attacks.

Fixed with latest patch 1/03/2012 version: 16845.

Thank you!

as pointed out above – fixed.

thanks!

More accurately it seems as though the hit box has moved from in front of the character to above it.
