Guild Wars 2

Two for now, but will update as necessary.

1. Skills randomly not activating in WvW. Started recently (yesterday?). It has led to several deaths now, and it’s awful.

I took a video of it happening while on a ballista, but it happens with all my skills at times (most annoyingly, my heal skill).

Yep, I had something targeted. And as you can see, I had no debuff on me.

2. Sound cutting off in WvW, only to be replaced by a “woo, woo, woo” alarm/siren like sound.

Only has happened in WvW, and it’s really bad since the only way to fix it is restart game which means you have to go back into the god awful WvW queue.

Not just me, either. http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/59661-weird-random-sound-in-wvw-bug/

1. just happened in the dragon fight in frostgorge sound. This confirms that it’s almost certainly something to do with fight size.

It’s also a borderline game breaking bug.

I’ve been afflicted with bug number 2 about three times now. Normally when there’s a lot of stuff going on. Most recently (a few minutes ago), it occurred when fighting for control of Stonemist. It’s so distracting and somewhat painful. No matter how much I fiddle with the sound settings, I can’t stop the noise unless I restart the game. I decided to unplug my headphones and leave the speakers off and play the game in silence just to avoid WvW queue.
