Visual bugs since update the other day+ - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

I guess we can assume some of these are general problems then, none of them are game breaking but they should be fixed.

tommarrow · Sep 18, 2006, 04:05 PM // 16:05

The one thing I notice is when I cast a AoE spell there is a delay of 1 or 2 seconds before it appears. Like when casting meteor shower I will see the damage numbers appear above the monsters but I do not see the animation of the meteors appear right away. I have not noticed anything else but I was not paying attention before.

majoho · Sep 18, 2006, 09:27 PM // 21:27

I'm in touch with support about this now, I will post if some solution is found.

So far I have been told to turn down sound quality and (obviously) that didn't help at all.

this isnt a bug...but i noticed they changed the sound of you opening a chest

Kyle · Sep 19, 2006, 12:34 AM // 00:34

just what i noticed from the little i have played since then. Is my ele's meteor shower isnt much of a shower anymore. All i see is the dust coming off of the ground where the meteors are hitting. I dont see the metors or the big smoke trails comming down. Just the dust kicked up on the ground.

DarkEye · Sep 19, 2006, 03:42 AM // 03:42

call targets sound is there

ParanoidDenny · Sep 19, 2006, 11:35 AM // 11:35

Basically ANET have botched up the update again!

Aki Soyokaze · Sep 19, 2006, 12:26 PM // 12:26

I've noticed that some of the animations for skills have lagged behind when they're cast and when they start to take effect. Such as when met. shower and firestorm are cast it takes a few seconds for the animation to start but the enemies are already taking dmg. And when the enemies stop taking dmg. the animation still keeps going for a few seconds. I know that the timing of the animation, the damage, and the cast weren't always perfectly timed up. But it seems as if they're off more now that this new update was added.

Plus I'm also getting no green arrows as well as many strange sound effects that've annoyed me to the point where I don't even bother to play the game with any sound anymore.

On certain terrains shadows are not being rendered properly and appear very broken and scattered...

exiled mat · Sep 19, 2006, 02:03 PM // 14:03

the visual bugs i recall on short terms are:
(note that i play with everything on the highest settings)

-No lvl up animation
-A sort of superfog in the UW (way to foggy)
-My ele has become very tired, she has those dark spots under her eyes

(i will post a picture later

)
-My ele walks much more backwards than normal

(if i click on something)

The Silver Star · Sep 19, 2006, 02:23 PM // 14:23

A bug a guildy of mine always complains of is that his 15k luxon female necromancer armor has no shadow and looks different in HoH, its quite funny, also when you do /rank there is no animation aswell. I sometimes get graphics bugs when i go outside Droknars or enter Ascalon and a few more areas.

majoho · Sep 19, 2006, 05:35 PM // 17:35

I've come to the conclusion that PlayNC support are utter useless when it's about actual tech supports.

All I get is silly suggestions that doesn't change anything, sigh.

I know that, I've already been thru the inital back and forth and I'm now talking with support and they just ask about pretty obvious stuff.

I've worked as tech support myself for many years so I know how it is, but they it seems as if they aren't actually reading what I'm writing to them and they just give me cut and paste solutions.

Loralai · Sep 20, 2006, 02:18 AM // 02:18

I'm also experience sound lag and sometimes it's as if I have turned my volume down momentarily and then it fades back in.

Plushie Penguin · Sep 20, 2006, 02:39 AM // 02:39

Sometimes the earth spell symbol doesn't show when I'm casting churning earth

Maria The Princess · Sep 20, 2006, 03:55 AM // 03:55

my bugs:

1- for ranger, i dont always see runing skill animation (like the glow from escape or dodge)

2- on my monk, even if have 6 enchantments, i dont always see the "cloud" around me

3- my ele sometimes doesnt have the fire around her after casting Fire attunment

4- i dont always see effect of drunk, even if i chogg 5 ales in a row.....

and most of the previously mentioned by other players..........

Xanatas · Sep 20, 2006, 04:14 AM // 04:14

All of the above, including with the drunken haze being buggered up. Now i just look like a fool yelling "I Love you man!" at male strangers....

*Hick*UP*

Darkcraft · Sep 20, 2006, 04:25 AM // 04:25

Exiled Mat, as regards your Eles face, I think if you read what updates they done.
You will find they have updated face graphics, maybe thats the reason for the tired looking eyes.
Which reminds me better check mine out too.
