Weapon animation: Has anyone else seen this?

I recently got a Storm Bow, and was surprised to see that occasionally, the lightning arcs that travel the length of the bow freeze in place; they actually are there, but are frozen in place on the bow. If I get out of GW and come back in, the animation resumes no problem, and it doesn't happen all the time.

Anyone else ever hear of, or see something like this?

Yes, this also happens to me once in a while.

Haven't noticed it on the stormbow, but waterfalls have had that effect for me. I can still here the water falling but the animation of it seems to freeze. Same as you though where if I restart GW it's back to normal, and even if I don't the game continues to run just fine.

Yes, its not bad if it happens just annoying. Though I can't tell you what causes it as I don't know myself.

I frequently get this. It seems to happen completely randomly. In addition to stormbows and the login screen waterfalls, I've noticed the water freezes on the "favored" statue of melandru. It doesn't appear to hurt anything, but the only way to correct it for me is to restart the game.

So its animated? Oo
I really want to see it moving, link to a movie please.

I play GW for over 2 years and Storm Bows were never animated for me, the lightings were always just sticked to one place, not moving, looking like frozen. And it was always the same - during early'05 beta and now. That's why i always thought this skin sucks. I can't believe it's animated.

I have completely no other problems with any graphic/animation effects in game at all. I play with all graphic settings maxed out so its quite a strange bug that only stormbows are affected.

Welcome to two years ago. Storm Bows have done this on occasion since release.

Has anyone else noticed that Spiritgarden's Repose doesnt have an animation (on my ritualist anyways), the Character stands still and the bolts just fire out of no where, or is this just me?

Who wants to bet that this gets fixed before the catapult being broken on warriors isle?

I didn't know it also happened with Storm Bows.

This happens to me though, but with the river in the Team Arenas outpost. It just freezes but I still hear the water flow sound, but the river is completely frozen to me.

I've had this before on Storm Bows, waterfalls, rivers, soul bridges, soul rivers.. Pretty much anything that has a texture which moves accross it can have it happen. It has been around forever. It doesn't stay like it though. I've noticed that if you change zone it seems to fix itself most of the time.
