Guild Wars 2

I’ve seen this mentioned on the forum before but as it still got no fix, I’m writing about it again and adding some screenshots.

Weapon swap gets disabled if it was on cooldown when you get a cutscene (and skip it).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Get your mesmer into a dungeon (I know it happens on mesmers, don’t know about other classes), like CM or TA.
2. Fight a mid-boss that has a cutscene after death while constantly swapping weapon sets, so that when you kill the boss, your weapon swap is on cooldown.
3. Skip the cutscene straight away because you’re doing this dungeon Nth time.
4. See that your weapon swap is grayed out and you cannot change weapon sets with the binded key. Nothing happens.

• As you can see on the screenshots, both weapon sets ARE equipped.
• To get it working back, you need to open the hero panel and click on the swapping double arrow.
• I am not sure if it happens every time. Maybe it has something to do with the skipped cutscene being shorter than the weapon cooldown.

This is very, very annoying, especially when it happens several times in a single dungeon. You’re rushing into the next fight and you understand you’re stuck with the wrong weapon set…

Please fix this.

confirmed, annoyning, needs fix

Dear Devs, fighting bugs is not funny (:

Yesterday I got ported to Warden II’s platform, was alone there at the moment and got seen by the champ just to discover that I’m stuck with a melee weapon and that watchwork thing is spinning towards me and laying mines all around. I had to dodge and kite away while trying to locate H and then mouseclick the arrows on the Hero panel which was blocking half of my screen. I lost half HP by the moment I finished, I had the aggro so it prevented people from stopping it, and overall the flow of the battle was severed and we were the only platform to fail the champ. Now some players wandering by might say “You could just dodge towards him!”, but I’d answer that a bug should not force a player to change his usual tactics mid-way. Others might say that loosing half HP and having to click an arrow in a panel is not a big deal and does not result in a fail, but we all know how concentration is important.

I asked in the chat about that bug and several people told me they had it often and the solution was to open the Hero panel and click the arrow (while one person said it hadn’t helped him). With this being such a common and affecting bug, I believe it should have a higher priority.
