Nero.7369 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 (edited) As title says: Fiery Dragon Sword losing Burning Graphic Effect on switching templates till next map change. This was introduced with todays patch On the Icy Dragon Sword the bug doesn't happen. It's still smaller than the Fiery variant tho.. since ever Edited June 4 by Nero.7369 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doppy.6045 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 i thought i was the only one having this issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teknomancer.4895 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 (edited) It doesn't seem to be specific to template changes though, weapon swaps will extinguish it too, and occasionally it will just not ignite even when it's the primary weapon set. Really hope I don't have to go to the Mists and find another imprisoned god to get it burninating again. PS: apparently using a waypoint and mounts/dismounts are also things that will put it out. Edited June 5 by Teknomancer.4895 PS, seems basically random 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazgrel.7908 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Good to see I'm not the only one who noticed/has this issue. I haven't made note of what all seems to deactivate the flame effect, but it happens frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teknomancer.4895 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 So far it seems like about a 50/50 chance of the blade not igniting after the character's status changes in some way - change build templates, wp travel, weapon swap, mount/dismount, etc. It wasn't fixed in today's patch so I hope it's sorted soon, the FDS is probably the single most iconic weapon in Guild Wars (both games, both in the lore and player-usable). It really should be working properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyris.3695 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I have a very similar bug on the sword skin of "Infinite Light". The glowing runes often disappear after mounting up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teknomancer.4895 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 (edited) I forgot to mention a possibly-relevant troubleshooting detail: I only have this thing equipped on a single character, and all of his "show/hide when stowed" boxes are unchecked; i.e. his weapons are always hidden until drawn. Is that also the case for others here, or does that option have no effect? Edited June 6 by Teknomancer.4895 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enciliac.3516 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Same thing happening here. For me it's every time I mount the glow goes away for my Fiery Dragon Sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teknomancer.4895 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I'm hoping that it's just somehow festival-related, so when the event ends and the culprit code isn't active anymore, it will go back to normal. Long shot, but it could happen. 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roan.5194 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 just googled to see if I was the only one having this issue, glad to see I am not the only one. Hopefully it will get fixed soon enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which that was a feature... The day I have the option to turn off all player weapon, armor and trinket effects I won't ask for anything ever again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero.7369 Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 Well for Competive you have the option that enemy / firendly models should use a standard model 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levitikus.8239 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 The Fiery Dragon Sword currently has a very annoying bug. every time I mount up or use a chair, the flame disappears and doesn't come back until I map change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teknomancer.4895 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 The patch did NOT resolve this issue. It's still broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazgrel.7908 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Still a thing, though if it may help, I did confirm with a friend of mine that this is just a client-side visual bug; I had it occur to me and asked my friend to look at my character and they could see the sword's fire just fine. Easily reproduced; all I have to do is mount then dismount. Seems there's other ways to cause it to happen, too, based on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levitikus.8239 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 this needs to be fixed immediately. there's no reason I shouldn't be able to enjoy my Sword that I spent HOURS and HOURS on guild wars 1 to get. this should've been fixed in the recent update but it's not. This would not be a long and difficult fix to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teknomancer.4895 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I wonder if there's any way to engineer a screenshot in some story mission with Rytlock's sword extinguished. I suspect that might get some attention... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) My Flaming Dragon Sword skin (from HoM) extinguishes in maps if I mount dismount. It's the same long standing bug which removes backpacks in certain maps like Dragon Fall, except this is in any map Edited June 30 by Randulf.7614 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teknomancer.4895 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) Bump. Still busted, over 2 months after being reported. Fix plz. PS: Raptor-tested with Rytlock in-story and confirmed, this bug only affects the player's HoM skin, Sohothin is apparently immune.

shek.5408 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Do we need to submit a ticket to ArenaNet? This bug is very affecting my game experience so much. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scar.1793 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Bump, afaik it only affects the fiery dragon sword. Firebringer is a sword with a similar fire effect but is unaffected by mounts, transformations or anything that change the normal player state. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
