The projectile finisher on Mortar Shot still doesn’t work in an AoE like it was said to do in the livestream.

[BUG] Bugs/exploits with the mortar kit.

I can add on to this. Orbital Strike doesn’t seem to allow anything to be “queued” after it.

It’s not only Orbital Strike, but all engineer’s toolbelt skills witch cast time (regeneratin mist, grenade barrage etc). Really irritating problem.
I’ve recorded 15 sec video with it: https://youtu.be/uTvOzU-YoUA
I’ve found out, that abilities with cast time don’t work (jump shot, grenades, blunderbuss, acid bomb etc). But fast abilities work with no problem (net shot, overcharged shot etc).

Huh, never realized that. Is it new to this patch? I only noticed it with orbital strike because it’s the only toolbelt with a cast time that I immediately use another skill after (orbital strike + flame blast for might stacking). Really hoping this gets some sort of attention soon.

I can add on to this. Orbital Strike doesn’t seem to allow anything to be “queued” after it. Using napalm right after orbital strike doesn’t work unless you keep mashing on it until the aftercast ends.

Not a huge deal, but I asked a friend to try it out and it caught him off guard as well.

Anything that was account bound before are account bound on acquire now. Though despite them being available to anyone in past story releases I find it kind of odd that these were made into a limited time, low chance, accountbound on acquire reward for pulling off a difficult task with 100+ others over a 45 minute timespan.

Transmutation splitters and the Gas Mask

…well, time to futilely make a ticket and hope I can get a replacement. Thanks for the confirmation.

Transmutation splitters and the Gas Mask

in Black Lion Trading Co

So I ended up binding my gas mask skin to a heavy helm instead of a medium. If I bought and used a transmutation splitter, would the skin item thing it gives me back still be bound to heavy armor or would I be able to transmute it to a medium? I know it doesn’t give you back an actual skin item which worries me that I just ruined my plan for my engie’s outfit.

Right click to change utility.

I’m not sure if this idea’s been brought up before, but seeing how the button to change your utility skill is like 10 pixels tall, I don’t see why you shouldn’t be able to just right click on the button to bring up the skill list.

It’s a small quality of life change but it’d prevent those accidental skill uses leading to waiting 30 seconds to try and change them.

Random Serious Frame Dips

This only happens in gw2. It’s not the best rig, but it’s capable of running most modern games nearly or fully maxed out.

As for partial effects, it’s not linked to them at all. Like when the Fire Elemental spawns, I’ll drop down to 2 or 3 fps if I’m looking at it, but what these random frame dips are different. I can be looking straight at a wall but it’ll still chug until it finally pops back up. This also happens randomly in LA as well. I can just be shuffling through my bank, and if there’s enough people around (not even doing anything, just standing there with me), I’ll drop down to 1 frame a second or even as bad as 2 seconds per frame.

I tried reinstalling and wiping the folder in my documents, but nothing has had any effect.

Random Serious Frame Dips

mies backfire.9286

A few months ago, I’ve been able to participate in large scale fights with a decent consistent framerate (25-35). For the last month or so, every now and again my framerate dips down to 1fps or worse, depending on the fight, for about 4 to 8 seconds, then rises back up to 30. The large the battle, the most often these frame dips happen.

At first, it only effected WvW (a month or so after removing culling), though then it began to effect effecting world bosses, Lion’s Arch and now even dungeons. Between the fact they’re only temporary frame dips and how this never used to happen before, this makes me think it’s something that can be fixed. Does anyone have any idea?

sigh

The way they worded that… I bought $10 worth of gems back during Beta 3, so before launch, and didn’t get a gift. I’m not angry or anything, but kinda feel a lil disappointed about it.

It’s nice that they would do this though for the people who are continuing to financially support the game.

Thoughts on new dungeons end boss?

I’d be surprised if there wasn’t at least some bit of inspiration from Dark Souls when making that. The fight was absolutely perfect in my opinion. Each of the bosses had a good amount of HP and a nice deal of attacks to keep you moving. It took us about three times to learn the patterns and beat them, but it was more fun than frustrating. I really wish they’d introduce more bosses like this because I could easily call this the best boss fight in the game right now.

Also, try playing the Smough & Ornstein music next time you fight them. It matches incredibly well.

Has anyone noticed iLeap’s pathing to be any more reliable. I saw my clone running up and down stairs at full speed earlier, but getting locked up on small hills afterwards. from this thread, they implied they had some sorta fix for it but I’m not sure if he was purely talking about the CD bug or not.

What actually needs to happen is they need to fix the scaling for the wurm. He has the same amount of health for 5 people around him as he does for 50.

Number 3 has been a thorn in my back for too long now. My greatest enemy in PvP isn’t a thief or a guardian, it’s a small incline.

Mesmer Prestige not blast finisher after 3/1

I was thinking of finally buying an exotic torch when I noticed they don’t trigger blast finishers anymore which ruins one of the main reasons I wanted to use it. Fix an exploit in two days causing a bug that most likely won’t be fixed for a while. -_-

Prestige: Blast finisher BUG!

I’ve noticed this too. As of this last patch, there’s no blast finisher on either side. Kind of disappointing, seeing how I was finally getting into torch.

Has anyone yet mentioned iLeap’s clone refusing to work properly up hills? If there’s any sort of incline between my and my opponent, the iLeap clone will walk forward a bit, stop, continue, stop, continue and so forth. By the time it finally reaches him, swap has timed out.

T3 cultural gear bugs? [merged threads]

in Asura

mies backfire.9286

So I’d hate to bump this 3 pages in, but after spending 20g on the shoulder armor and having it obscured by the chest, it’s extremely disappointing. Though, I think I figured out what the issue is.

I’ve seen the epaulets both showing and hidden from a few asura and it seems to be a matter of which gender your asura is. On males, the epaulets are worked into the chest armor but yet on females it isn’t. Equipping the actual epaulets themselves has no effect either way.

I’m really hoping this can get fixed soon. My outfit feels so incomplete without them, especially after how long it took to buy them.

Sigil of Fire/Sigil of Air

I actually just tested this out earlier. As long as you have a weapon with the sigil in your hand, shatters have a change to use the ability as well.

I can second this, both in the Ascalon Fractal and Path 3 of AC. It leaves shatter-build mesmers feeling rather useless.

As long as you keep it strictly personal, it’d be a great feature. It’d also be a quick way to know if you’re getting better at a dungeon or not, so a little bit of personal progress.

A quality of life buff for Shatter (ignoring the other obvious problems).

This means that you DO NOT have to wait for them to finish the shatter animation and the purple orbs empty before you summoning more illusions. The orbs are merely a visual thing and do not accurately represent your actual illusion pop cap where shatters are concerned.

Yea. That’s false.

It’s accurate. I tend to rapid fire shatter by using mirror images and shattering them right after I shattered three other clones. This wouldn’t be possible if what he said wasn’t true.

Honestly it just ruins screenshots for me. I’d be fine just having it turn off when you toggle the hud, but an option to toggle the lines separately would be nice.
