SereneButterfly.1287 Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 Since the update launched my revenant cant equip a shortbow anymore. I have the weapons masters training achievement though, its still there. Just equipping weapons is really borked right now 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckSurfs.5782 Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 My level 21 guardian alt also cannot equip axes and longbows. Weaponmaster Training achievement is completed (on another character which doesn't have this problem). My level 80 guardian doesn't have this issue either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone.7563 Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 Seems to be working if your characters are 80 and not if they are not. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nishka.2850 Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 I have the same problem, not working on the characters after the update! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lon.7528 Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 Me too level 40 rev can't use a short bow i jst got. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker.7046 Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 Same, but its not just happening for the rev profession. Kind of makes getting SOTO a waste of money for me, at this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SereneButterfly.1287 Posted November 8 Author Share Posted November 8 I send in a ticket and talked about this forum post in it, lets hope they fix it soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SereneButterfly.1287 Posted November 8 Author Share Posted November 8 They said to open the bug report screen ingame and report it there, so if anyone else having this problem report it too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker.7046 Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 Lol. What a round about way of basically saying: Hey, thanks for bringing this to our attention! "We superduper appreciate it!", but can you just go fill out a bug report, or something? We are only the support people.. lmao. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanto.1659 Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 Hopefully it is a bug. I was told it was changed in the patch notes but I could not find a reference to it. As someone who likes leveling more than end game I'll hope it was not a 'brilliant' decision by a pencil pusher. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker.7046 Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 If it is a permanent change? Then I want my money back for buying SOTO. I didn't buy SOTO for the stupid RIFTS mechanic, or the need to get the skyscale, another way. I bought it, to be able to access the weapons for all my under level 80 characters. And same about leveling. I enjoyed the leveling of multiple different characters. I made new characters regularly. And the Weaponmastery gave me another flavor to experience it. If This is how ArenaNet is going to operate in the future? I'll probably be out. Which is a shame after all this time, and money spent on these expansions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meanwhile a work around has been found by using the PvP lobby to equip the weapons. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker.7046 Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 (edited) Thanks for the heads up. I tried that, but it didn't work at the time. I'll try it again. Edit: I worked this time! TYM Edited November 9 by Tinker.7046 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just made a new Revenant last night and now can't give her a shortbow (and it was working last week on another Revenant I have). Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

tuckSurfs.5782 Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 Presume it's a bug. Leveling a guardian with longbow was quite fun. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Weaponmaster_Training Under Unlocking; Quote ...it's not otherwise level-restricted and can be used afterwards on characters below level 80 as well. PVP lobby hack worked for me as well. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobleboivin.4102 Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 Noticing it also. A few were saying this isn't a bug. I hope not becuase it seems like a really weird harmless fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigela.6352 Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 I'm very unhappy with this change. I'm even more unhappy with the lack of communication if this was intended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wiki was already altered to say it cannot be used under level 80 so I think we can stop assigning incompetence where malice resides.

Astii.1946 Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 My Necromancer isn't able to equip a pistol as of yesterday. I see I'm not the only one with problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willow.8209 Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 i remembered them advertising it as that it would be a "core" dynamic, which I interpreted as available during leveling. Since "core" Tyria has leveling maps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karmageddon.8591 Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 Same here. Characters below level 80 cannot equip elite spec weapons anymore. But weapons equipped before the bug are still useable, my lvl 55 thief can still use her old lvl 47 rifle. The bug only prevents equipping those weapons.

Kryss.5298 Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 Karmageddon.8591, don't unequip the rifle or you won't be able to put it back on. This still isn't fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow.3671 Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 Yea, this is one of the dumbest changes they made. It'd be the same concept of them taking away gliding and mounts if you're under level 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker.7046 Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 (edited) They should be offering people a refund, is what they should be doing. Especially if they don't plan on rolling it back, to how it originally was. I paid for how it was originally implemented, prior to the Nov7th update, not this current garbage.
