I was doing my daily t4 fractals and lost my infinite offensive potion while the party was teleporting. I had my inventory open and clicked my potion while teleporting, then once in the instanced the potion buff was not added and the potion was gone. I replicated this event a few times and it would happen every three out of ten teleports. once in the instance you loss a item but no buff. This is a issue that should be address as the infinite potions are not cheap. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This seems to affect consumables. I cant replicate it with items like weapons or Armour.

FYI I screen shotted for support and contacted them directly.

What appears to be happening is that you’re consuming the potion and the game is trying to change your instance, so there isn’t time to apply the buff. I don’t know that there’s any way to prevent that from happening, without a lot of new code. So, even if ANet agrees with you that this is important, it’s going to be ages before something changes.

In the meantime, don’t click the ‘ready’ button until you’ve consumed your potion (or consume after you arrive).
