Guild Wars 2

Double posting because I managed to find one more related thing right before the Stress Test ended!!

4. If you change traits out of Soulbeast while merged in Beastmode, your pet remains gone.

Three things so far. I put them into one thread, but should I have separated them?

1. Dolyak Stance doesn’t show up in your buff bar(?) even though the other stances do. Its initial effect works though, since I used it to cure immobilization.

2. If you use the Dismount skill to manually dismount and then immediately revive a target, your character will not go into the reviving animation. I’ve tried this twice and it happened twice.

3. If you go into Beastmode and then go on your mount, you will no longer be in Beastmode BUT your pet stays disappeared after you dismount and will not reappear, even if you go into combat, until you re-enter Beastmode and then actually Separate. I recorded this with my phone (I did not think to record for the earlier ones).

The 3 is the most important, I think.
…On the other hand, it’d allow rangers the accidental option to run around with a pet like in GW1 haha.

EDIT: managed to find one more thing before the Stress Test ended.

Shadowstepping into the ’too strong current’ that may lead to being ported under the world, particularly in Malchor’s Leap.
I found this out and then recorded it and then uploaded the videos onto Youtube.

Basically, in Malchor’s Leap, west of the Harbringer point of interest (the ship), is the edge of the map area and therefore there is a current that ’will push you back if you continue further’. As a thief and with the harpoon gun weapon, I was able to shadowstep into this current as well as bypass the current to continue further (but not any further than the hard boundaries of the map area). When I logged out and then logged back in while stuck inside of the current, I was ported under the world. Because it was Malchor’s Leap, I was able to swim around and interact with everything on the upper side of the terrain that was within range, including: killing things, opening chests, discovering points of interests, and there was a section where some of the objects that extended below the terrain allowed me a platform to stand and shoot things with my pistol as well.

The important points of this first video are at
8:20 (showing the (return)shadowstep),
10:05 (logging back in and being ported under the world), and
12:25-13:35 for interaction through the terrain (and 14:00 for ’on-land’ interaction through the terrain).

Then, a few days later, the latest patch came out, and so I wanted to try again today. I also recorded this attempt, once again west of the Harbringer in Malchor’s Leap, and then again in two other areas (east of Mount Maelstrom and south of Sparkfly Fen). I was able to shadowstep into the Strong Current in both of the other maps too, but only Malchor’s Leap out of the three has thrown me under the world when logging back in (the other two simply correctly ported me to the waypoint at their earliest level sections).

For the second video, I have only uploaded the part with Malchor’s Leap since I wanted this up as soon as possible. If the other two want to be seen though, I will happily upload them, however for now here is this much briefer (and better) record of the bug in Malchor’s Leap after the latest patch.

Not everyone has or uses a thief, so if needed, I can test and record in other locations too! as long as it doesn’t have anything to do with Living World/Heart of Thorns since I don’t have those. Just post here or mail Beforus in-game and I will happily oblige the request.

Adding to the din about experiencing the bug from an hour ago, but I’m glad about the patch announcement! Thank you for the ETA.
