Guild Wars 2

Hello, let me supply a screenshot album for reference: http://imgur.com/a/DT9T8

Sometimes, my Kudzu does not have a bowstring in game, except during ability animations. But most of the time it looks like it gets stuck with the bowstring – perhaps related to that icebow bug where you had a bowstring in your hand after dropping it? Anyway, I want to get rid of the bowstring in game, like force-refresh my character model, but I don’t know how. My methods of getting rid of the icebowstring glitch don’t work on Kudzu for some reason. This is bothering me very much, because the string looks out of place, and the bow looks beautiful without it!

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

• Changing zones with various combinations of: bow equipped and active; bow equipped and inactive; bow unequipped; bow in bank, then zone, then take out of bank
• Relogging (both character select and full exit)
• Switching between different longbows and other weapons
• Equipping and using/dropping a bundle or toy
• Using a transformation tonic
• Going into stealth
• Downed and/or defeated

Bowstrings don’t appear in the character window or in weapon previews. Kudzu has always had a bowstring, though it sometimes bugs out and doesn’t render.

So which is the bug? The ugly string that doesn’t fit the weapon (and the same string that was part of the icebow bowstring glitch) or when the string doesn’t render at all, which looks much better?

This is the normal bowstring of Kudzu :

The bug is when the bowstring doesn’t render. It’s a bug that occasionally happens to all bows.
