CETheLucid.3964 Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Want to bring up that this still remains an issue with mounts. The new novelty chairs have added a new way to fix it, but mounts still break bow strings on using the engage skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CETheLucid.3964 Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 OT: Appreciate the merge! That's far more convenient than the two threads that I had going. I had made the new one because it began as a different issue at the start of the year and this particular issue has persisted until now. Having everything all in one place makes it easier to track and document. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Koopa.2354 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 And here I am still wondering how the heck something like that is happening plain technically. I demand to make the commit message fixing that in the future to be public just to see the amount of demented laughter in it. Because there definitely should be some in it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. After a while I get over it. I played GW1 for a few years so that was the standard. It's just once you have a nice thing and they even went out of their way to do neat effects for some bowstrings, it's a shame that it's broken now.But I understand it's a small quip at the end of the day and there are bigger more pressing bugs to deal with. I'm grateful at least that it's getting attention. I intend to keep this thread updated until it's finally fixed.Which as of the latest update remains an issue. :bleep_bloop: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The initial issue of this bug where bow strings would break on weapon swap was fixed relatively quickly if you read up.The issue now is it breaking with mounts, particularly engage skills. If you play WvW, PvP, Fractals, any content where you can't use mounts you'll notice your bow string isn't breaking.It remains an issue as of the latest update.

Ydeirt.3905 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 With the latest wintersday patch, we still didn't get any fix. The only time when they aren't breaking is when you use a different colored string (e.g plasma bow, forged bow, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just switched to sunless greatbow when I noticed this issue. Anyhow, this issue still need a fix. It's quite immersive breaking when this happens.

Adenin.5973 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Still bugged in 2019 btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CETheLucid.3964 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Yep. New legendary longbow has arrived, bow string bug remains. Maybe that'll generate more attention for this. :bleep_bloop: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilithRaven.1327 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I can confirm, the bug is still here when you use your mount engage skill the blow string will disappear, also it doesn’t matter that you swap to your other wep slot, when you use your mount engage it will disappear regaldless that you switch to the second wep slot, BUT you need to switch to the bow wep slot then mount for it to be fixed!!!or unequip then equip the bow to be fixed.wtf is Anet doing??? it is clear that the bow strings disappear when using mount engage, way had they not fix this!?!?!?!Also, I was suprised to see that my bow has an string!!! the reason is that I always use mount engage at every oportunity so imagine my suprise that my bow had STRINGS!!! when I had play with the bow for almost 3 weeks!!!

CETheLucid.3964 Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Yep. Still an issue. I will say I've had a few moments where it seemed to work, but it's very random and I can't reliably reproduce it. I know they're trying at least but at present bow strings are still broken with mount engage skills. :bleep_bloop: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astyrah.4015 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 BUMP. yep still an issue :anguished: i do hope anet hasn't forgotten about this (if ever it was in the to-do list in the first place) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CETheLucid.3964 Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 Issues remains. Here's hoping for a fix on War Eternal launch. :bleep_bloop: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CETheLucid.3964 Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 This is still an issue as of the latest update. Per previous post, I do get instances where it works and I end up keeping my string after an engage but it's a random thing that I can't reliably recreate and it's almost as certain to break on the next use. This didn't used to happen before so I know they're trying.I'll note that if I engage with my melee weapon set equipped and then swap to my bow sometime later in combat, the string will always be broken. If I engage with the bow equipped, the bow string will be broken maybe 95% of the time with a 5% chance of it actually staying in recent times.Crazy buggy bow strings. :bleep_bloop: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
