Ran a search and didn't find anything on this.

My ranger's storm bow no longer has animated rings moving upward along the bow's length -- they are now static. Does anyone else see this problem on their storm bows?

Though I don't own a storm bow personally, I've heard of a lot of people having the same issue and when they asked other players, they said the rings were moving normally. I'm not sure on a solution but I think someone said exiting GW and restarting it fixed it for them, not sure but you way wana try it.

I've had that problem numerous times. It usually seems to happen after playing for a certain length of time (why I don't know), but restarting corrects it for me, too.

Yeah, this happens to FDS/IDS sometimes for me, I guess the animations just run out of time? not really sure.

Interesting, I've never noticed that on my FDS (never had an IDS)... my stormbow does it all the time though. *shrug*

this bug has been out since day 1
u wouldn't believe me but i'll tell you anyway, i sent a support ticket 10x just to be annoying and it still aint fixed lol
wat happens is the useless support sends it on to quality assurance, and they say they contact you, but they dont lol
that happens all the time too

My stormbow's fine, but I don't really use it much. I just flick to it and fire a single shot to pull before swapping back. Got a friend who said his wasn't working though, but when he showed me it was working fine so I don't know.

I believe it's got something to do with animated textures. When this happens to me a number of other animations also stops including moving rivers, fellblade shadows, and other things analogous to that.

I haven't found any way to fix it other than to restart GW.

The Bug also applies to the "smoke" effects of the fellblade as well. Just restart GW or zone instances and it will self fix. The problems usually are client side and other players should see your animations just fine even if yours dont work properly.

On my old graphics card a stormbow would have no animation at all if the camera was in a particular position. As in, I could hold the right mouse button and swivel around my character, and for half of the time would have plain, no animations stormbow.

This happens to me too as well. The effect of the storm bow will stop working, along with the water that falls from the sewers and other simmilar effects. After restarting my computer it will run fine again. I'm not sure what causes it but its not like it permanently will stay static.
