Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure if anyone has posted about this, but I tried this mission for the first time last night, and I can’t get past the stage where I’m told to use a trebuchet against the Undead ship.

I can mount the treb, but when I try to shoot I get an error message that says the weapon “can’t be fired in this direction”. It doesn’t matter where the treb is pointing, and the line of sight is always clear, yet I get the error every time.

I replicated the error again tonight, so it’s not just a one-off.

And yes, I did file a bug report.

I had the same issue, I just swam out to the ship and speared the ship to death and swam back to the shore after.
I filed a report on that for blocking progress 2-3 weeks ago.

Wow, I didn’t even think to try that.

I shudder to think how long it must take to kill the ship that way….but if what you say is true, then not nearly as long as it will take Anet to fix the bug, lol.

I think it took me around 5-10 minutes I wasn’t keeping track.
I agree Anet is sure taking there sweet time at fixing some of these bugs.

Luckily I took the time to search for this issue. I was wondering why the trebuchets keep telling me “You cannot fire the weapon in that direction”.

This is quite unacceptable to be honest. These types of bugs should have been ironed out during beta.

It’s because you aren’t reading the skill. The message displays because you only press the button, while you’re supposed to hold and charge it.

^this. Just hold fire button and trebuchet should fire just fine, then adjust charging power in next shots to hit the target.

Yeah at first i thought it was a bug, then realised i wasn’t holding the fire button down to get the range. LOL
