Guild Wars 2

Good morning,
I am not sure if this is specific to thieves or not but I wanted to point this out.

When fighting the Nightmare tree in Twilight Arbor, and we are standing at max range in the door way, my Shortbow does not autoattack. I have it set to do so, but it doesn’t auto attack. I need to continually press the #1 key to get it to fire. And before anyone says that I am out of range, I am not. I see the damage I am causing, it simply doesn’t auto attack.

Happens to my ranger all the time with either bow. There seems to be a mismatch between the range-finder that shows on the action bar and whether or not the arrow will actually hit the target. You can be “out of range” and still hitting the target, but your auto-attacks won’t work.

I have encountered this as well in several areas. Kincaidia.3192’s comment seems logical, but sadly for now we just have to spam 1

It happens with a lot of weapons in a lot of places when you are near maximum range. It even happens at short range with some weapons. You see the “auto-repeat” arrows on the icon, the icon blinks (as if it was auto-repeating), but nothing happens.

Not sure if this is related to the bug that makes it impossible to swap weapon sets (the “swap weapons” button stops working, and the only way to fix it is to open your hero panel and use the icon there). In other words, it might just be a UI bug, where some button becomes “stuck”, or it might be a bug in the code that decides if the enemy is in range or not.
