dontlook.1823 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Really upset about this 😕 Was in WvW last night tripping' cause that trashes the mechanics I built around my WvW build. Can ANET at least speak up about this and say it is an intended change or bug?? wtf... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffles.5632 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 This bug/change makes staff a melee weapon lol If the issue is pre-stacking buffs, I wonder why Anet can't just make the buffs in-combat only like how certain traits act. 😢 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seabreeze.8437 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I really really hope that this is indeed a bug and will be addressed and fixed by Anet soon. So much of my mirage’s play-style is dependent on Chaos Vortex and it’s boons, not only for its supportive applications, but for it’s self-support as well! PLEASE fix this Anet! It would be greatly appreciated by us mesmers! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customhell.2594 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Confirmed, an enemy must be within the range indicator and also targeted to apply Alacrity to the player and party. This is problematic as Alacrity can no longer be applied in areas with no enemies, for example, the start of the abyss chamber (Deepstone fractal), or when Torin ports out of range during a player's Chaos vortex cast. Swamp fractal also poses issues where many mobs die quickly as target loss and range now affects application of Alacrity. Currently no way for Mirage to provide Alacrity underwater (Aquatic Ruins fractal). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appolaliptik.7598 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 so balanced. rev can stack alac anywhere without combat. mesmer should stay in close range to enemy with 1200 range weapon. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashnod.4365 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) @Fire Attunement.9835 @Cobalt Flame.8056 @Sentient Anomaly.9473 This Chaos Vortex ambush thing is still an issue. Please get it fixed, I mean this is not really an issue PvE but I would like to see it fixed for group content and WvW.

dead.7638 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I don’t think it’s that hard for someone to reply to this issue, (which is an issues) regardless if this was intentional or not. I know there are eyes on this and to our knowledge at this point is a disregard to us by not saying anything. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead.7638 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Not only were the update notes confusing, but the current tool tip also adds confusion as it still states chaos vortex triggers around the caster. Again not hard to let your player base know what’s going on. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the issue occurs in PvE but what I mean is that for normal PvE content it doesn't break my build, I mean it's to bad I don't have that much alacrity but I can still staff kill just about anything at range (that is suitable for killing at range) with it without trouble. Though it did make me go like.... well right now if you take scepter gun or whatever and than in build run Illusions instead of Chaos it's probably a better build than just staff cause alacrity was a thing making you able to spawn more clones/illusion faster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispy.7182 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 This is a bug and isn't meant to happen, so don't worry. I wish they would get a move on and fix it though.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well since they fixed rangers bug like almost immediately after the patch released, they could have fixed our bug aswell at the sametime 🤷🏽♂️ This issue has been going on since tuesday and the WvW beta started on friday, they had 2 days to get this fixed before the beta started! So that's really not an excuse for them to delay this... Edited September 26, 2021 by AshkyLicious.4729 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanoukosG.9762 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) As a mirage alac/cdps player in fractals I noticed the following thing happen since the last patch (that added the beta for the new elite specs). Chaos Vortex would now not share the listed boons (alacrity and might) if you are not in combat or if you don't have a target. Even though it doesn't give any buffs in these situations the new feature of the circle of it's effective range is still appearing, so I consider it a bug. Please do look into it! I really didn't get any impressions of it being intended. If it was, well there should be mentioned in the patch notes. It really is important for me to stack the alacrity even out of combat as we move (w/ the party) from group to group keeping the alacrity rolling. If it doesn't work then there is only one class to play alacrity... Just revenant. Because Chrono is also very static with boon application.

I really hope they don't intend this. I use the alacrity for my portal cooldowns at the end of jumping puzzles. Making it only in-combat would be very annoying. As it is right now I don't even feel like playing staff mirage. I hope there's a fix soon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexhar.5138 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 So is anyone from Anet going to fix this bug because it pretty much breaks one of the few viable builds for mesmer? The alacrity is very inconsistent on mirage staff 1 and sometimes just outright doesn't even give alacrity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawnbreaker.4901 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I could play Axe/Pistol if I really wanted to, but I play Staff Mirage because it's the most fun for me. This bug and or nerf is a significant deal-breaker and I haven't played the game in a week because of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veprovina.4876 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Any ETA on a fix? I have a build dedicated to dual staffs which is now useless, i'd like to know if i should scrap that build or when can i start using it again... I wasn't going to say anything during the betas cause Anet was probably busy, but even then, didn't Rangers get a fix for one of their stuff during that time? Well, betas are over, plese fix this. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead.7638 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Some clarification would be amazing about now. Thank you anet for your response in this matter. Would mean a lot to those of us concerned about weather or not this build is now useless. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
