Weapons disappearing

[Mirrian]

 I have had this problem and from general chat I see others having the same problem. All of a sudden my weapons disappear and I appear to be fighting with my fists. I have been told this is a known bug but I havnt seen it mentioned here. I dont know if the dev's read this forum or not but for what its worth this is a problem that should be fixed. Someone told me zoning would fix it and it did the one time I tried it but still annoying.

I have found a way to ALWAYS bug my weapons from not showing.Basically it happens thus: 1. Harvest something. I'll use ore as an example. Notice that your weapons (plural in my case, I dual wield) vanish, and are replaced by a mining pick.2. End your mining session. Mining pick vanishes. Notice that it takes a second or three for your swords to re-appear.If I engage in combat between those two steps, thus before my weapons re-appear...my weapons WON'T reappear. At least, not until I end combat, find something else to harvest, and pause afterwards for the game to put away my harvesting tool and replace it with my weapons. I have had it bug out randomly at other times, but the above is a situation I can ALWAYS get it to bug out.... and always 'fix' it.Hope it helps someone else who's not fond of slashing and poking with their fists!

An odd thing the other day happened though, my partner lost her weapons (look only of course) when she shrunk. ~shrug~ we're not 100% sure if that was went it happened but that was the only unique thing she'd done differently for the last 1 hour, so it had to be it. They were in her inventory and proc'ing etc like normal though, so it was only a graphical issue.

Happens to me, too.  As this is a recent bug, it was probably introduced in the last round of hotfixes for other bugs.  I would imagine it will soon be alleviated.IN the meantime, a quick fix:Type:/camp [yourcharactername]For example, if I were playing a character named Oafy, and his weapons vanished, I would type:/camp OafyYou will camp out and then immediately be returned back to the game, and your weapons will be proper.
