sweetrules.8359 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 The known issue tracker hasn't been updated in over two weeks either. Yet it claims that it updates at least once a week. This issue needs to be fixed, because its annoying, and in wvw, I constantly have to wonder if I'm actually getting attacked or not when roaming if I zone out even a little bit. It makes wvw a lot more stressful than it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabe.2456 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Did anybody encounter these as well? I wonder if these effects are just a bug or if they're connected to the current events. Maybe related to https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/15476/bug-random-bullet-fx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haishao.6851 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I get this all the time since halloween patch. I thought it would go away last week but it didn't. I tried repairing my client yesterday, but couldn't go in game to see if it changed anything yet. Hopefully it does because it's annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted November 12, 2017 Author ArenaNet Staff Share Posted November 12, 2017 That *is* bizarre. (Just to be clear, you're pointing out the "explosion" visuals, yes?) Have you posted in Bugs? I am sure someone would want to take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlogistn.7893 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 they are constant in WvW, have been since the Halloween patch, and frankly are very annoying. Not to mention if someone has a seizure disorder potentially a problem. They come in a variety of colors btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuickFox.3826 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Probably same issue, has been posted a few times already. Still occurs, also in WvW. https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/comment/258432 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those random explosions have been in the game for weeks now, especially in WvW they go absolutely nuts. Maybe less lootboxes, more fixes? _(Yes, I'm going to be passive aggressive about this stuff now, I hate gambling)_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedek.8932 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Happens since two weeks or so. It was so rapid it was more like someone burned down 25 firecrackers next to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haishao.6851 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 It seems people get different effects. I mostly get necro spells effect and sounds mixed with a few ele lightings. If repairing my client didn't fix them, I will record it next time I get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LyricDawnhagen.7803 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I have been doing zone completes for a number of my characters in Lake Doric for the last week and I have seen those everywhere. I thought it was just an effect of all the Bloodstone in that zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felincyriac.5981 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 It's a _feature_. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceridwen.6703 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I was having that happen as well, over this last week. On my last session I ended up quitting because they were so annoying. I'm pretty sensitive to any extra flashes as it is, so these are particularly distracting and make it rather difficult to play (thus, I'm not).

ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted November 12, 2017 Author ArenaNet Staff Share Posted November 12, 2017 Just read about this in another thread. I likely will merge the threads so that the devs can see the posts and ask questions, if need be. Thanks for your reports! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted November 12, 2017 Author ArenaNet Staff Share Posted November 12, 2017 This is now three threads merged. One question: **Are you seeing this only in WvW, or are you seeing it elsewhere, in other game modes?** If in other modes, could you describe? Thanks so much!

ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted November 12, 2017 Author ArenaNet Staff Share Posted November 12, 2017 There are at least three different threads on this and I think it'd be good to merge so that devs can see the breadth of the issue and have an easy means to ask questions, if they're needed. Thank you for these reports. I'll be sure to pass this along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuickFox.3826 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I just got killed in PvP, returned to map and it looks like my char is going mental now: :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted November 12, 2017 Author ArenaNet Staff Share Posted November 12, 2017 Oh, no! That's awful. It's like the bullet flares are symbols of Grenth taunting you! :dizzy: Seriously, though, thanks for the video clip -- it'll help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuickFox.3826 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Welcome. :-) It has been going on for a few weeks now tho. Got it many times in WvW. The effect of someone emptying a machine gun in my general direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronometria.3708 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 It is the effects of a distant battle. In WvW its possible to "see" where a battle is going on by these. Their direction is correct but they are way too close. So, if everyone was fighting to the north east, then these would appear on the nearest surface to my north east.

PassionWhisky.3457 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 maybe is these the reson why the server have latency issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erulogos.2591 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I have seen this bug on and off since before Halloween. So far, I am not certain of the cause, but it seems to be a lot more likely when there is an event with a lot of people in combat, and you are not at said event (i.e. in AB when the Tarir meta fight is going down, or Sparkfly running back to Teq after dying.) The explosions move based on where my camera is pointed, I can sit still and they stay in the same are, pan slowly and they will move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceridwen.6703 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Just diving back in to say I'm only playing PvE open world content, and saw this in Dragon's Stand (could't continue event chain as a result!), and even in Brisbane Wildlands, Silverwastes, Divinity's Reach. My little asura Oofii felt persecuted! I shall log in today, and if it's still occurring, I'll try to take some screenshots for posting. > @Erulogos.2591 said: > I have seen this bug on and off since before Halloween.

The explosions move based on where my camera is pointed, I can sit still and they stay in the same are, pan slowly and they will move. This makes a fair bit of sense. EDIT: one day later. Yesterday, I logged in and only played on PvE maps. I have no instances of this bug occurring, and other players were definitely fighting things around me. Did not do anything "big" like Dragon's Stand, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
