Bug, I think?
I suppose it comes from panic strike.
No, it’s not an effect. No immob/bask. My character just gets locked completely still.
That’s probably the immob bug. I often get it against revs. But strictly only against thieves? That might be useful info for Anet, if it’s only happening against one profession.
It’s the stuck bug, it’s been around for quite some time now.
When it happens, use a movement skill and it will take you out of stuck animation.
You will remain in the stuck animation until you use a movement skill or dodge roll:
- Warrior GS #3
- Reaper Shroud #2
- Heartseeker
- ect.. ect..
But yeah, it needs to be fixed. It’s quite annoying. I’m not even so sure of exactly what causes it to happen but it usually happens to me at least once, every other match I’m in.
I use the name Barbie on all of my characters.
There are an extreme amount of causes for this bug, it’s not only thief. I know one of the major causes is the imob condition itself. I’ve found that sometimes after you remove it your character will still not move as if the condition was still on you.
Anet has known of this issue for years and it has only become worse… Don’t expect a fix as this issue has been ongoing for an extreme amount of time that any decent self respecting game company would have been fixed… Even activision would have fixed this issue if it happened in call of duty and that’s saying something..
Oh ok, thanks for the feedback guys! Much appreciated.
The main (only) cause for the bug is when Immobilise gets cleared passively. Movement skills or emotes break the bug, but sometimes not in time to save you.
