Game Mechanics: Bind Wound not working

Daltheb · #1 03-08-2011, 03:46 AM

I'm not sure what happened, but starting today I've found that I can't bind wound myself or other people, even after relogging/changing zones. Whenever I try, it gives the message that I begin to bandage myself, but simply stays stuck in the animation without actually doing it. The button pops back up from the cooldown like normal, but it never actually performs the bind wound. Other people don't seem to be having problems so I'm wondering what specifically is wrong with my character, since I haven't changed anything that I can think of to cause this.

It's the next day and after logging in I'm finding the same issue. This seems extremely strange and I see no way to fix it, so I'm really hoping there's some simple solution because I'd rather not be stuck not being able to bandage myself (or others for that matter).

have this problem as well; would say it's happening probably 20% of the time where I try to BW and just stay their kneeling without any message or anything of BW completing

Just had a revelation! There was a bug you guys just recently fixed where people could start bandaging themselves, then interrupt it and keep moving and it'd still finished. Now that it's been fixed, if you've been moving around just before you start bandaging, it'll fail the location check I assume and the bandage won't go through. After I started waiting about 5sec before bandaging myself, I've found that it works just fine.

This is quite frustrating as a monk (Which I'm sure is why Daltheb posted this first). Once it fails, it will fail on all subsequent attempts until you sit/stand and move to a new spot.

Still failing for anyone else? Tried to BW another person last night and I kneeled, waited, button refreshed, and no damage was healed.

It happened to me once out of around 70-80 bind wound attempts in the past few days.

I thought I was going crazy when leveling my Rogue, but I was having the same issue and thought it was something that I was screwing up (since I spam sneak, hide, sense heading and bandage usally all at once when soloing to level em) XD

I just bind wounded 4 people. Was healing for normal as a 50 monk with maxxed BW skill.

I saw no issues.

Happens more rarely now but it happens. Had another mystery fail BW yesterday. Again, sitting/standing back up and BW'ing again fixes it.
