Guild Wars 2

Well done. I hope the devs handle these issues. No one enjoys playing a broken game. Life is hard enough, no one wants their game to be hard because it’s broken.

You know you got some bug fixes and wishes reversed…
Also awww why you no like giant floaty entrails that clatter in a happy way when fluffing around you.

Was more a ‘quick to fix’, ‘think about it and surprise me fix’ and well ‘minions’.

I do kind of like him. I call him Gibs…

Wish they’d fix him to regen out of combat like other minions… Tried not to just get mad and kitten y, there’s prob a ‘bit’ more I could add to minion bugs…

Andele.1306:

Nay of the Ether.8913:

Occasionally (and totally randomly) signet of the locust speed boost won’t work unless I unequip the signet and re-equip it. Idk if this applies for every speed signet, I know it happens on my thief’s signet sometimes too but haven’t really noticed it on my ele but I don’t use it on ele that much.

Thats a zone transition/slot swap bug, the game looks at the buffs you got, but sadly detects as if the signet passive isnt active, thus “activates it again” actually removing the buff, coding problem.

Sadly, this would be better off in the necro or suggestions forum… But they’d probably NEVER be seen there.

I would definitely love to be able to rez while in DS (even if not in lich form)… I always feel like a chump when I use DS to survive a little longer and the person standing next to me goes down immediately after I activate it… I can either wait until I finish DS or my heal cd is up and they most likely die before then or I end DS and try to rez them and most likely end up downed myself while trying to rally them. Lose lose! You’re either a piece of male genitalia or a dumb kitty who failed at a rally!

I agree with with many of the points made here though. We were pretty viable and not a complete detriment to the group prior to the DS ‘fix’… Now we’re a liability… Again! (Again because they fix our downed health issue only to make it so we have less survivability)

(Fixed a silly typo and to add this: “never be seen there” meant seen by Anet staff o.O)

I did start in the necro forum, bounced ideas, asked for others to list bug’s I’d missed. Still got people posting on that, I do try to copy N paste over anything I missed from there. It’s sadly not making this look as though it’s had as many views or people comment/bump it up top. But the necro players are adding input without having to go thu the bugs forum.

As for suggestions I’ve got quite a few dreams for that too. I feel these issue’s are frustrating bugs, even if some like minions are a bit more of a suggestion on how to fix. I’ve had prob the most feedback on minions being what’s most important to get fixed for a lot of neros, in game as well as forums etc. So it’s just trying to balance what/how I say it.
For example. I think that life force gen on Axe is terrible in PvP, as any good player just avoids getting hit, skipping your burst spike & any life force, leaving you dry. But as I haven’t talked about this with other necros, I left it out as it may be my suggestion.

As for the rest I fully agree and feel your pain. ^Hugs^
Tho, I think both DS & Litch should allow res’ing. Your not doing any damage, have the cost of losing sig that allows res. While you get a defensive buff while doing it, it is ticking away your up time, which I feel is a big enough cost. I get that plague wouldn’t allow it as it’s passively doing AoE damage at the same time.

A Eng dose the same thing, and dev’s reply twice in 2 days…

Which is nice, I know the Eng needs some help… Just… feeling unloved.

Thank you! :-))

Edit: Ohhh, your the one who got mug’ed at the petting zoo? ;-)

My offer to Chaplin of ‘free beer if you come to Australia’ is odiously extended to you!

It err, really dose warm my heart for you to take the time, and I’ll try to stop being so grouchy myself.

I’ll start getting some quality of life stuff going in necro forum. This was just the stuff that makes me ‘mad-bro’ when playing.

(Thanks again!)

Bweaty.9187:

Can’t Res/Stomp/etc while Transformed (DS/Litch/etc) Can we at least get it in PvE.

You CAN stomp while in Lich form in PVE. It works against the Watchwork enemies.

@OP:
There are only this little bugs? I could have sworn that the list was few pages long.

There were threads dedicated to bugs on Necro forum. I was afraid to read them all

Giz >this was the main one’s that drive me and others I’ve spoken to nuts/“mad-bro”.

The huge on at the top of necro forums hasn’t been maintained/cleaned as they been fixed.

So it’s not as scary as it once was. (I confess, when game went from beta to release, I ended up giving up for a few months due to bugs driving me insane. Even a few months ago we still had 1/3rd the downed life of any other necro, which I found pretty inexcusable.)

A lot of the other bugs, an’t totally play breaking. I think like the poison not reducing all heals, I prob wouldn’t have added that here, IF it wasn’t another reason people didn’t want to take necros to dungeons. Which is more a miss-conception that poisons useless. It’s still going to slow a lot of healing boss’s. (E.G. endboss of CoF 1. Heals from the crystals that people ignore. Necro can stop 1/3rd of that, while DPSing down crystals AND the boss at the same time with Staff/Traited Plague Blast)

Mad > Oww nice to know. I play a Asura, so when I pop litch Im usually “I feel 10 foot tall, who called me shorty” and charge into the biggest monster I can see ;-P
It’d prob be nice to have in DS too, as I have a super up time of that while in invasions.

It was actually not being able to chop wood while in litch yesterday that just… It wasn’t even to chop wood while being beat on, it was just because of a contested Orr area. (So ya know, just wait in DS for heal to be of CD. Heal, and finish the tree)
Anyway. It’s not a huge thing, it’s just not fun. It affects no one, not even a mob’s feelings.

As the lovely Dev pointed out, that’s more ‘quality of life’. I’ll be compiling a big list in the necro forums over the next week or 2.

I don’t know where else to put this, so… My minions get slowed whenever I get crippled/chilled even though they aren’t afflicted. This is especially annoying when I take an orb (Spirit Watch?) in pvp.

Ratenen.3650

Not sure if it was intentionally left off, but felt it didn’t hurt to check:

Staff 2-5/marks going on full cooldown (instead of the 3 seconds interrupt cooldown) when interrupted, either by an enemy or yourself, is a pretty nasty issue still.

^- Nar I’m just a bad necro reporter. Thanks for pointing it out!

Yes, i am a necro and i am morbidly digging up this topic to go with the recent patch

Most of these issues still exist. Actually all except one (the putrid mark one – which had a tooltip update to say it doesn’t remove from allies anymore).

The following are especially annoying:

- 3 second cooldown for utilities when leaving DS.

- Lich form doesn’t remember what skill is on auto.

- DS is bugged in that siphons, boons and allied healing skills don’t heal health in DS. Which basically means an entire talent tree is locked out in DS.

Josh Davis.6015:

The love has arrived. I’ll sort out this list and make sure that anything that hasn’t been previously reported gets added to our tracking system.

Thanks for the reports. (And compiling the list!)

PS: A lot of this stuff we’re already aware of. (We’re always watching!)

Edit: Any Quality of Life change requests and profession suggestions will get more attention in the profession forums. I only handle bugs!

3 months later and …Nothings changed :/

another for the list:

the 2-3 second lag on weapon, heal, Utility and Elite skills reappearing after being “nuked”. This doesnt affect when we allow the Deathsroud to reach zero so why should being nuked be any different…

Can I please emphasize what a massive game-breaking bug it is for Necromancers that heals don’t work at all from siphons, boons, allies etc in Deathshroud and there’s no tooltip anywhere to say that this is the correct behavior.

e.g. healing skills just say “heals allies for x amount” .. do we stop being an ally when in DS?

e.g.2 all other boons work fine in DS, but regeneration just ends before it’s timer says it should.

Working as intended, they have pretty much said that they dont want Necromancer healing while inside DeathShroud, Fair enough from big heals but the fact our OWN traits dont work inside it is a joke.

Though i am tempted to say:

Have them work inside DeathShroud BUT rather than healing Health, make them give Life Force instead. Make it so its 1%, no need for ICD or anything due to how slow the cast time of skills is while inside DeathShroud anyway. Make it so that its just enough to cover the Life Force loss from being inside DeathShroud and it could work great.

If we could siphon in DS, siphon numbers wouldn’t be so insulting.

Noone has ever said heals not working in DS is as intended.

As I mentioned, there’s no tooltips to say this, and there’s ton of tooltips that say we should be healed (i.e. Regeneration Boon, Allied healing skills etc).

People I’m grouped with actually get mad when their healing skills don’t heal me when I’m in DS because they have invested traits and have healing gear and it doesn’t heal.

Another DS bug to add to the list:

Stomp/Rez aren’t working properly. In fact the only enemy that can consistently be stomped in DS are watchwork ones.

I tested this earlier, and I believe Necromancer talent, “Necromatic Corruption” (Death Magic XII) just doesn’t work.
