Guild Wars 2

I need to check with other classes, but I can confirm this with warrior weaponry.

At certain areas of walls (I believe it may be linked to where siege can be built/upgraded)

It COMPLETELY impedes skill usage, at first I thought it may be a LoS bug, but it prevents the majority of skill on my bar from being used (including heals, signets, elite, etc. etc.)

This does not affect stances, and shouts, only skills that require some kind of activation timer.

I can create a brief video showing some of the locations this is happening if needed.

I can confirm this bug (on an elementalist), and tested with a guildie (a necro) to reenact my frustration in WvW. If I jump onto a ledge in WvW, most skills don’t activate.

It seems the ledge is making you seem like you are still mid-jump. The immediate get-around to this bug seems to either jump again or move a bit. This however slows the skill activation, which can be especially bad with snares and such.

very strange issue, moving does fix the issue, but it is annoying to say the least.

Happens when on walls & also when standing on the supplies.
Had originally thought was yet more skill lag, but even in dead maps it is the same.
Was playing on a hunter.

Logged Ele today, rock outside Briar in WvWs, same problem. This needs an urgent hotfix.

Confirm this bug with my ranger. like the “cannot drop bundles” bug this is an absolute disaster during a tower attack! I just stand there taking AoE with skills doing nothing! It is NOT skill lag. Skill icon does not flash, never triggers, never does anything until you find a “suitable” different location. Even moving along wall often not always solve.

Seems to be since 30th Apr patch.

yeah had the cannot drop bundles when i was refreshing an arrowcart in a keep inner and got stuck at the arrowcart. couldn’t get off it and had to wp.

fix 1 thing, break another lol, these are in need of fixing though, asap

This keeps happening to me when I jump onto the wall to hit people down below. First I thought it was skill lag, but it’s pretty reproducible. Has to be related to getting stuck on siege and the horrible double falling.

I’ve seen several wall/cliff bugs in WvW since last patch(es).

1. Trying to use an arrow cart placed at edge of wall gives “can’t drop bundles in mid air”. you can’t use any siege skills or leave siege. Waypoint is only way to break siege stun.
2. When on the edge of a wall and I get green target on ground for Necro marks, the skill doesn’t work.
3. Jumping down from cliff will rubber band you back to cliff, sometimes 3-4 times
4. Jumping down also will cause no damage upon landing, but is delayed a couple of seconds.

This is getting really annoying, it’s obvious something broke last patch, can we get it fixed? I haven’t seen a dev reply which isn’t a good sign.

Four days later & still nothing?
You lot on holiday or something? ;p

I have had #1, 3 and 4 happen. Not only jumping from a cliff but from a wall also.

Yeah, everytime I hop up on the ledge on a tower/castle etc, I can’t use any skills at all… Also experiencing the bug where you get on a siege weapon on the wall, and can’t get off it til you Waypoint/Log off/Unequip a weapon…

It has nothing to do with the wall, or the location you jump at all. It happens when you make a short jump forward, and land without moving (which is of course what everyone needs to do in order to land on ledges). Seriously, log in to Lion’s Arch near the bank and find a nice, flat surface. Then jump forward, and lift up on all movement keys before you land. You’ll be unable to use skills, unable to take falling damage, and generally very annoyed. Then, you’ll take falling damage when walking again, and your skills will work. Also, if you make this “Short Jump Forward” and start using Siege, you won’t be able to let go, getting the error “Cannot drop bundles in the air.”

If you spend some time in low-population zones, the bug will stop happening (at least for a while) which seems to indicate this is either a server stress issue, or a client stress issue.
