Alright, I'm sure every warrior has encountered the glitch where your adrenaline doesn't show a charge but actually is at least once or twice. I encountered it for the first time doing THK. I went for months with never seeing the problem at all. Then all of the sudden, a little before the factions PvP event, my adrenaline dies daily. Not jsut once a day either, but several times. At least once per Gvg,mission, area, etc.

It grows increasingly irksome, as I have to guestimate my adrenal recharge times by jamming the unlit skills over and over.

Have any other warriors experienced this problem so severely?

Yes, I've experienced this problem as well, not in PvP thank god, but once when doing the Iron Mines Mission, and once in THK.Very debilitating altogether. I know my post doesn't help much, but you now know you're not alone, eh?

Well maybe not so much as you but i have had a similar problem.

It happened to me in FoW and on another map. Suddenly none of my adrenaline skill would seem to charge, thought i was actually gaining adrenaline (because even if the skill wasn't glowing i could use it like normal).
It's pretty annoying on skills like galrath and final thrust which require a big amount of adrenaline to use.

I have heard that these two missions have caused many people to experience the glitch, but normally it is confined to those two missions.


THe glitch I am experiencing is omnipotent. IT follows me everywhere. HoH, GvG, FoW, UW. EVERYWHERE. It is rather debilitating.

Along with this glitch I have noticed a plethora of others. LIke when applying a preparation on my warrior, he does a random emote. Also, when a spirit is summoned the arms no longer flail, it just appears.

if it persists, write directly to Anet, as from what i can understand its a very serious form of the adren bugs people often get in S shiverpeaks

I had that happen a couple of times too -
just minimize (minimize, not exit) the game and restore it, sometimes it fixes that non-lighting bug.

Yes major problem. I seem to get that bug after a lag spike that last 2-3 seconds at least. Adrenaline is recharging, but the layer that covers the skill (don't know how to say it any other way) is fozen, like you have o adrenaline.

If your are a crafty person and count hits you can still use ur skills efficently. My experience is that going to the next region in pve or getting to the next map in pvp solves this bug for some time (till the next event that triggers it, in my case lag).

That could very well explain why it's so persistent with me. I run off of a wireless adapter and I lag spike every 60 seconds or so for 5-10 seconds.

Every 60 seconds? thats more than debilitating, thats suicide inducing!

Yep, it's pretty hellacious.

Running(Droks) = Impossible
PvP = Difficult
Farming = Difficult
55ing = Impossible

I've seen the bug too, just hit the skill when you think it's charged. It still works. I haven't seen the bug lately though.

Imo run equals godspeed in stealth mode as much as possible. In droks runs if you get noticed by some1 and imps, giants or whatever want to give you a big hug, just appologize for disturbing their owange rituals (wich wont help anyway) and hit the nr1 runnign skill and get lost asap. stay around long enough and you`ll get a piece of the famous shiverpeak hospitatlity wich will feed your hate more and more.
hes refering to getting lag from his router, not fromt he adrenaline glitch

Usually happens in iron mines for whatever reason, but I haven't gotten it elsewhere.

i haven't had that happen to me in a long while - but like esprit said: the skills still charge up and are useable... just count the hits you land in order to guess the adrenaline. (don't forget to substract one when using a skill O_o)

it happened to me...in the southern shiverpeaks - first time in the ice caves of sorrow and a month later in the ironmines of moladune; kept glitching for a few hours and suddenly things were back to normal again.

I have had this happen to me as well. Sometimes switching to a differant weapon will help with the problem. Such as from sword to axe or axe to bow ect..

It happened to me once in arenas. Good thing it was only for the match. At the beginning it charged up but then after that I was confused so I just pressed the button and it worked w/o showing the recharge.

I had this same problem in a GvG match. I thought they had SV or something killing my adrenaline. My charge was at 0 but when I hit eviscerate it worked.

Restart and it should fix like mentioned above. If this keeps happening report it to Anet. The more infomation they have and instances the better they know how to fix it.

Not particularly familiar with the adrenaline display problem, as I've only had it once, but:

I can almost guarantee you I know what that is. The Windows service "Wireless Zero Configuration", which automatically configures your wireless ethernet settings, has exactly this performance. Fortunately, once your comp gets the settings in, you can turn this service off. I actually made a VBScript to turn this bugger off after everything gets configured, and put it into my startup menu.

Didn't Anet fix this bug? I'm pretty sure they had something about it on the Update notes....

Ive had it in THK and once during farming, however my skills still worked, just well, uh, kept pressing them in order in the hope one of them was charged.

They should make a Mesmer hex that recreates this problem intentionally. I think it would be hilarious! But then again, I'm a big mesmer fan.

I have had the same thing, along with dp not showing up properly. Happens in totally random places, the new tombs, fissure, or missions in the jungle. Often when a teammate dies, for some reason, but it hasn't happened often enough to be sure, it could be coincidence. It happened to me a few months back, dissapeared, and in the last few weeks happened quite a lot, almost daily like the OP also experienced.

Many thanks to A-net. That update seems to have fixed it. I have not encountered it again since.
