Guild Wars 2

This ability is bugged sens game release.

Now as its a know bug and A-net admitted it cant be fixed Mesmers demand a change to the mecanic in next major patch. If it cant be fixed (is this true or have you a tecnical sulution) there are several working leap mecanics and spwan mecanics in game it can be changed to.

-A sword leap as iSwordman.
-Spawn a clone at target
-A leap/jump + cripple like a warrior/guardian hammer move

Alternative of working mecanics are endless, still we stuck with a badly bugged meacnic on one of our most important moves.

If it cant be fixed, change it for a working one.

Agreed 100%
I really like the concept of Illusionary Leap, but it doesn’t matter how good the idea is if it’s broken and can’t be fixed.
The ability is broken, it cannot be fixed, so change it. There is no compromise, we can’t just keep using a broken product because “it works sometimes and the idea is cool”.
If Arena Net can fix it at a later date, that’s great. But until then give us something that actually works, even if it means replacing the ability.

A clone generating ability which acts as a gap closer and imobs the enemy. There’s plenty of ideas that fit those parameters for a replacement.
Personal suggestion: make it work/spawn like Phantasmal Rogue

i think they are having a hard time with this one and might just need to rework the skill. i really hope this gets somehow fixed as it is annoying how the ileap fails all the time same with iwarden and co, but this one bug has been in game for ever and needs attention.

If they legitimately can’t make it work, then the skill needs to be re-designed. Maybe just reverse it so the mesmer leaps at the enemy (ala iSwordsman) and leaves a clone behind, leaving the short window to activate the teleport swap.

Why cant it just have a 2 part skill…

First part acts like the iWarden, where it spawns a clone next to your target.
Second part you swap places with your clone?

Seems pretty easy to me… I know iWarden has had issues in past, sometimes it wont engage combat, but it atleast has always spawned next to the target….

Agreed.

Cast: Spawn clone at target x range and apply cripple
Cast 2: Swap position with clone and apply immob in aoe from clone

Sorted. Srop the whole running part, the phasing would still just as staff 2 do give a combo.

How can A-net in the past just answered the tecnical mojo dont allow a fix, when they simply just can change the mecanic to one they can get to work.

100% completely agree. For one thing, everything “can” be fixed, they built the game so they can change it.

Looking at the way they deal with bugs though, if its slightly complex it gets swept under the rug and hope it goes away, which is why some of these things exist since beta.

I love this game, but ignoring major bugs is seriously beginning to affect players feeling for the game.

Devs have only got to go read through the mesmer forums to see the general feeling of most of the long time players….

Perfect examples on “we will fix it when we want to”…

Slaying potions…. it took them FOREVER to fix it…. they introduced the new potion of scarlets little buddies slaying, it was broken just as every other slaying potion was broken for ever…. then “omg new living content has a bug, well lets fix it and all the others at the same time”

Mesmer Clones pixelized armor….. no one cared forever… then “omg a gem store item is pixelized and ppl wont buy it cause of this” wam, fixed for all armors…

It is kitten that they dont fix things for such a long time, until it is “new” and broken…

Its all about stake holders I swear…. “Look we fixed this thing that just started happening”….. “We are all over problems”…. do you think any of the stake holders look at the forums? (God knows if they did I am sure the search function would have been fixed ages go) If they did I am sure alot more would be addressed quicker….

Bump*

I’m going to keep bumping this thread and not spending another penny in the Gem Store until the devs have the decency to at least respond to the Mesmer community about this long standing bug.

Bump – also frustrated with all bugs we’re dealing with!

Bump*

As a full time Mesmer I’ll back this thread.

Bump*

It’s been long enough and is a core part of play, manageable yes. But you shouldn’t have to fight faulty mechanics.

Guess what I’m about to say…….

BUMP!

……………………………………………………..

Bump

Bump ‘cough’ ‘cough’

Bump*

Either Fix it/Re-work it or replace it with something useful, I swore i wouldn’t try ESO when it comes out but if the Devs don’t reply to this by the time it’s released then i’m off. I am not going to waste my money and time on a game where the Devs don’t give a monkey’s.

Bump for the space butterflies!

Fix/rework needed. My suggestion – spawn on target.

unfortunately, the first dev post on this thread will probably be something along the lines of “unnecessary bumping, this thread is now closed”
I’m just at the point where I notice something doesn’t work well, I go use something else instead. It’s a shame that content the game designers spent so long creating is being ignored because it’s not working, but that’s how it goes.
hmmm… this is probably why warrior is considered so all-around good. It has simple mechanics, so no major bugs. If all the mesmer bugs were fixed, they’d be much more of a threat.
