Players do this by using a spinning skill and swapping weapon at the same time. It’s hard to time it properly, but it happens…

How is it an exploit? It is just fun and harmless thing to do.

I can do thirty Five-Dolyak Arm Curls.

I have wondered about this, people seem to be doing this in WvW and basically downing anyone within range. But others here are saying it can’t be used to attack so how are they doing this in WvW and downing everyone within range?

Most likely you (or those who told you so) are lying.

It does not do damage.

Here I am doing the endless Whirlwind Attack, yet no damage numbers are popping up. The only reason why the Mosquito is damaged is because my little Thief helper shot it a few times to lure it within range. Further more, if you take any damage at all it snaps your character out of it.

It is an animation bug only.

EDIT: added a few screenshots of me spinning up against a non-aggressive Moa. As you can see, it does not get hurt either because it is just standing there and not aggroing me.

I wouldn’t mind bugs like this at all, except bugs similar to this one have started getting me killed. It’s happened the most with Ranger axe#5 (Whirling Defense)

I haven’t figured out all of the variables yet, but if I’m Immobilized while using it the skill animation just keeps going, as does the effect of Immobilize. It doesn’t wear off, I’m rooted to the spot until Either a) a mob uses some form of knockdown/back, or b) I use a skill that physically moves my character (such as sword #3).

It’s not just being Immobilized though, there’s some other factor I haven’t worked out yet, maybe I’m hitting another key at the same time when I mash 5 and it’s getting it stuck. Either way I’ve had to start carrying a sword as my secondary weapon any time I’m in Hirathi Hinterlands so I can unstuck myself.

Haven’t seen anything like that with the one he mentioned though so that seems to just be harmless.

I plead ANET to keep this in because it’s GW2’s equivalent of Spy Crab.

It’s just a harmless animation loop that lets us have fun with pretty weapons. Such as spinning with Twilight. And players love this glitch!

Please make this the GW2 equivalent of Spy Crab. Thanks!

Sublimatio is right it’s a bug so he reported it.. Do you guys remember when in beta you typed the command /sit then you could jump while you sit. It was a fun bug too but Anet fixed it.

Not true,you will not deal any damage at all,test it near dummies or mobs and go see for yourself.Its a simple cosmetic Only bug that needs to be fixed nonethless,but does no harm to anyone what soever and just looks pretty.did you see them downing people ? My guess No,stop believing those people that tell you they do,because their lying.

No! Don’t fix it! Its too hard to do on accident and alot of people didn’t even know it existed.

Its already made great screenshots and machinema possible for the game!

Theres no reason to fix it, its really a feature at this point and everyone enjoys it alot. Theres no harm in it, yet it gives us something fun to do and teach new players.

Its basically a selling point to me at this time!

Heres a deal, don’t fix it until you add all the animations in /emote form.

Does that sound reasonable?

This “bug” is entertaining, it should not be fixed.

The animation is only looped, it doesn’t deal continuous damage or anything and has been a well-known trick for entertainment purposes for at least a month now.

This “bug” is entertaining, it should not be fixed.

While I understand the entertainment aspect of this bug, animations are part of the gameplay mechanic and ANet has pretty much no choice but fixing it.

Animations communicate what you are doing (or what you are doing next), and a player who has learned to read your animations should be able to rely on them communicating correctly.

You wouldn’t kill a spy crab… Don’t fix the weapon spin!

Or you can make it a consumable toy in the gemstore. I think that would be a great way to make gem-money.

Don’t fix it! It’s only visual, and probably one of the bigger reasons why I went for the legendary Twilight, so I could show off to my buddies the cosmos with a looped spin.

Great to see that it’s being looked acknowledged, but please do not remove this. It’s a cool, fun little thing to goof off with that doesn’t break anything. The worst you could day about it is that it can be a little loud with the Halloween sword skins, but I’ve seen worse from people spamming the Wintersday bells. Yeah, it could get a little confusing in PvP or WvW, but since you do no damage & other attack animations cancel the effect out, it’s pretty harmless.

Additionally, I’ve never seen anyone glitch it in the middle of a WvW fight or PvP fight, just because it takes a good 30 seconds – 1 minute just to get the looped animation working.

It’s an emote. Purely cosmetic character action. I hope they consider adding some actual emotes if they want us to stop trying so hard to create our own.

Bethesda left the giant bug in skyrim. Leave the animation bug in gw2.

It would show that ANet can have fun and leave things in that are fun.
There is NO advantage to be gained from using this and its difficult to learn.
There was -already- a patch that made it harder to do.

Wvw and pvp have no effect at all on this due to once you get hit or in combat it resets -anyway-.

There is no legitimate reason to fix this bug and basically any game dev amongst the best wouldn’t. Work on other things.

Making a new thread would have just made new clutter and they already knew about this if they watch -any- of the major gw2 youtubers. They all support this bug and say its fun. Not talking about it wasn’t going to keep it from being fixed.

Having a discussion with ANet on how to implement it so that we can do it in a more acceptable manner and -leave it in the game- will keep it from being fixed.

There has already been one patch that makes it very difficult to do and only possible to do on purpose, while standing around concentrating.

Alexandra, I propose instead of removal, a command which works as follows:

/loop #

The # would be the number on your skill bar corresponding with the loop you want to activate. It would work with costume brawl skills utility skills and elites (just like the current one), and allow movement during the loop. The loop would be broken with the same methods it currently is. Gestures already do not work whilst in combat.

This is a cheap, easy solution of giving us more gestures and giving us more opportunity for machinema for years to come, rather than weeks. Don’t want to add more gestures? Fine. This would add them for you. The coding should be trivial (I have worked on games like this before, the feature set outweighs the programming time).

Machinema and nice methods of making screenshots are nice tools for a games player base and tend to lend themselves to nice things. Don’t remove the bug until the above gesture or another workaround is implemented, please.

Using this platform for its fix could leave it in the game, make it a feature, please many players and machinema creators.. and make the ability more accessible to the rest of the player base. It has NO downsides, and requires almost no effort. I would like the player to gain options rather than lose them.

So, who else agrees with this implementation?

Please, for the love of all that is holy, DO NOT REMOVE THIS!

It has no impact on anything significant, it is solely a visual effect and not an exploit.
People actually have fun with it. Removing it would make your game less fun for many people.
There are much bigger problems to focus on. It’s not like spinning a greatsword around is doing any harm.
