Guild Wars 2

I know, I know, ANet doesn’t really care about activities. And SM is actually one of the less buggy, better balanced ones. But just in case here’s a list of the bugs I’ve found:

1. Warrior dash auto-targets even when that option is unchecked. Extremely annoying when you’re stealthed or trying to get away and it veers you into an enemy or wall.

2. On the other hand, it also often ignores your actual target. If you have someone selected (say someone trying to res) it will veer and hit the downed person or a nearby wall instead.

3. Like all activities, Guardians get the advantage of a stack of Aegis at the start of the match which can be a big advantage. You fixed this for Winter Wonderland, fix it in ALL activities!!!

4. As others have noted, profession selection is wonky. If you select it before the 10 second countdown, you will be assigned a random profession. Not a huge deal if you know this, but still a bug.

5. Not a bug, but the piercing shots and skill regen powerups are so low in duration and so far away from the action that they are utterly useless. Doesn’t materially affect the game but if you want those to be in play strategically they should move.

6. Also perhaps not a bug, and maybe impossible to do anything about technically, but if you haven’t left the starting platform it shouldn’t teleport you back at the start of the match. Since the teleport location is random it can easily screw up your start.

7. The range on the ice fields (particularly the downed skill) is much bigger than the graphic. The existing size is fine, it should just display properly.

8. The scout snowball barrage skill (#3) will go on cancel cooldown if you try to turn and hit the skill at the same time.

9. The scout sniper shot (#4) sometimes fails to channel all the way and just shoots weakly. I particularly notice this when being pelted by a downed player.

Other than that, thank you for an extremely fun, really well balanced mini-game where all of the profession skills are useful and there is good play/counterplay strengths and weaknesses for each against the others. I look forward to it every year!
