Draygorn.7012 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 So I was doing some open world stuff on my Mirage for dailies, when I noticed something rather disturbing. My clone pips were full, even though I had no clones active. Whenever I used a clone generating ability (albeit weapon skill or despawning of phantasm) my clone would pop up dead.. Just laying dead on the ground, serving no purpose. I can't shatter it. It's dead xD. https://imgur.com/UTyCHOi I haven't seen how consistent this bug pops up, but also noticed a video on Youtube with a guy that seemed to have the same issue on his chronomancer. His video link: Anyone else having this problem? It's a pretty bad one.. Hope Anet fixes this soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonidrex.5649 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 its impressive that someone found this bug, the fact that you have to pick chronomancer for it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taril.8619 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Inb4 this isn't a bug but beta testing the next round of Mesmer nerfs. First, dodgeless Mirages. Then, Cloneless Mesmers. Finally, Mesmer characters become just NPC's standing at JP's providing portals to the end. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pninak.1069 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 tbh cloneless mes elite spec might be a good idea. like changing all skills to add clone dmg back to caster and getting more control options to put the enemy in a tight position where they need to solve a tough decision. like back in gw1 where you had backfire, but if you didn't cast anyhing wastrel's would get ya.

Kodama.6453 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Working as intended. Clones are trying to copy their master and they finally realised that mesmer mains are all dead inside, because of the constant nerfs. So they try their best to copy that, but didn't quite figure it out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be very interesting indeed. Though they would have to find a way for the Illusions traitline to work properly without clones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it gives the same effect. Perhaps there's something rotten about these eggs... That being said, Shorts did encounter this bug in PvP. Not sure if there's drinkable eggs there?

Can you eat eggs foraged by the pig of an enemy? If the pig digs up an item, can anybody use it or just the allies of the ranger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, it's a bit beyond my understanding, though joking aside wouldn't be surprised if Anet may be experimenting in the background in preparation for new mechanics (or maybe just hopeful! :D ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infusion.7149 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Waiting for some PvErs to respond "but it's a top class on snowcrows" when they've never played chrono. I really hope it gets fixed but at this point I really feel chrono is for people that are just stubbornly sticking to mesmer. Especially in a PvP/WvW context.

Justine.6351 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Had this tonight. Pretty sucky that any skill/phantasm that generates a clone no longer does so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
