Guild Wars 2

Ever since the patch on the 19th, I’m unable to hear the sound effects of; The Dreamer
This also applies to a few other people I know, but not to everyone…
I’ve re-installed the game several times & tried different computers, and none of them seem to be able to hear the sound effects.

Same. So no aura or sounds for Dreamer owners. Excellent way to spend a couple of thousand of gold.

Same here. No sound effect on The Dreamer. I tried to transmute other bows to The Dreamer and still no sound effect.

No Aura and no sounds here either.

That’s pretty good news. Though it will be fixed for sure.

I (and another person asking me if i had that bug too, since he was my ‘The Dreamer’) have this bug too. Quite annoying. Second time they bug sound for The Dreamer. Hope they fix it again.

Update: sometimes this animation still works like old. The skill now has different animations (sound). Normal arrow is worst iteration, then a halfbaked unicorn shout (like old one, but broken in the middle of it’s cheer), then a very vague to fast shot that only has the pre unicorn shot sound (the divine arrow sound for lack of better term). Worst is the normal arrow sound like longbow.

They all 4 happens randomly. I’m not sure, but lag (amount of people near you) seem to impact the grade of the animation, though sometimes it’s also opposite (zerging gives you better animations) but overall hard to say how the bug happens.

3 months later, this bug is still there but somehow turning around sometimes allows me to hear the sound when i face a certain direction o.O

Chances of this getting addressed = sadly probably the same chance of them fixing teleport skills from mobs.

Spent about half a fortune making this thing. Other people can hear me shooting it but I hear nothing which is annoying.

It’s not your hardware that’s causing the problem, it’s just the game itself.

There are a lot of problems with legendaries that are ignored, like Howler as well for example.

It seems like each time my FPS goes under 47, the sound effects go away… o.O"

[Edit]: found a slightly more specific point at which the sound effects go away.

Sound effect goes away when you have too low fps. I Had this issue, but when i got a new PC, problem became solved. When i put some pressure on my GPU and FPS dropped to 20-40, sound effect disappeared again. So, for some reason, this is connected.
So yeah, i confirm what FallenSentinel said, it’s the cause for sure.
