Guild Wars 2

This has been in game for a long time, (since launch?)
It also occurs when weapon swap is on cooldown and you get a cutscene.
manually swapping weapons in the Hero’s pannel is a fix that works on all professions.

I think a lot of the frustration originates from standing there and being forced to watch others struggle and fail and being punished for it.
A lot of the replies here are quite harsh and unjustified in my opinion.
Trying to raise the skill-level of the playerbase is an awesome idea. A lot of people try to do this by explaining the event and the specific champions beforehand. Yet, we are faced with ignorant people who will yell at you if you try to tell them how they can improve. They want to keep doing the same thing.
@possessed.2036 I understand your frustration on not willing to be forced to change to a specific form of fighting. The opinion of others is however that it’s to overcome an obstacle and to reach a goal. There are thus two options in my opinion, either you say the goal isn’t your goal and you don’t bother with the event and play how you like. Or if you do want to reach that goal, why is this obstacle such a problem? Isn’t that what makes things an achievement, being able to overcome an obstacle?
