Bug with weapon switching

glitchmaster999 · August 2014

The instant weapon swapping is great but if you swap them rapidly, it will swap your weapon hot bars sometimes meaning that I have a resto staff equipped that uses resto staff attacks and passives and can use poison arrow....

I kinda like this bug ahhaaha

For real?

Swapping weapons changes not only your weapon, but also your ability slots.

I'm pretty sure he knew that.

I think his point was that if you switch weapons rapidly the weapon and skill bar can get out of sync and you end up with the wrong skill bar for your weapon.

Now that sounds like a pretty major bug ...

I've also noticed that, since the patch, swapping between hotbars causes a visual bug/glitch where your weapon will either not show, or the weapon from your previous bar will show. For example, swapping from dual wield to two handed, my two hander will either be invisible or i'll be holding the two 1h weapons with a two hander stance/grip.

Swapping my bars while in Stealth will swap my bar but not my weapons.... quite annoying...

This has happened to me even before the patch, particularly in large PvP battles; nothing like holding your sword and shield like a bow.

Erm....the game seems to have confused my bow with my daggers. When I shoot my "bow" I am holding two daggers out in front of me and I still do the animation...except with daggers. Its hard to describe.

Likewise, my bow has taken the place of my daggers.

Two extremely game breaking bugs for me. Bow keeps breaking, now this

Wait....You mean they made a change and broke something?? How unusual.

Anyone want to take a guess as to how big the patch to fix this patch is going to be?

Its only the cached graphic. You are still using the correct weapon its just the texture that is wrong. This is not a new bug anyways, has always been there.

Makes you wonder why they had a hard delay with weapon swapping to begin with. Maybe it was to cover up little smudges like this.

No craft is perfect. As a carpenter why they use trim in every room (if they don't sheetrock), and they'll tell you it's to cover the messups.

I changed my weapon 2 from sword and board to Lightning Staff. I had a hand and board, shooting lighting from my hand. When I blocked the animation was as if I was holding a staff, but it just looked weird. Would have been cool if I could have really had a staff and board with the added blocking of the board,

but you can't get everything. I relogged and it was fixed

There's a bit of a difference between covering up a mess up and covering up sloppy work. You make an oops every so often, sure I'll give ya that, we're only human. But to use the same analogy there's even trim hanging off the effin ceiling in this house.
