Guild Wars 2

When players become downed there seems to be some bug that causes their body to move and slide away from their actual location, making it impossible to stomp or melee cleave them.

I have seen it happen 3 time in the past couple hours. And it is quite game changing

Holy kitten yes. We lost a match yesterday after being 400-200 up and then encountering this bug.

(To be fair we were kittening about with the body, figuring out how to stop him (druid) from rezzing lol)

well i encountered this in one of my matches as well.

the mesmer was downed, the health bar is darker red, however, the mesmer is seen up and running away, not downed animation.

but up, and running away!

well, i kept blasting with reaper scepter until it died for good.

Encountered it last night in one of my Foefire matches, my friend said he reported it but I probably should of to. He went down and I couldnt rez him with three of them on me so I left and headed for mid, I look over and see him running in downstate next to me… so odd… made no sense my enemies were baffled as well.

Only thing you can do really. Just cleave the kitten out of em till they die. Had that happen in one match too with a nec. Just kept blasting him with staff lol.

i’ve seen this a couple times now as well. an eng and a druid. i think it happens when a movement locking skill (scrapper hammer 3, druid staff 3) has control of your character movement and you die during the skill. whether it’s death by condi damage or direct damage, i can’t say for sure, but i suspect it’s condi damage death since those 2 skills kinda evade attacks.

Are we sure none of these instances are reapers with bm or rangers using search and rescue?

no one cares,there are 3 years old bugs never fixed.

I had this issue once in pvp ranked, when we had 2 ele, the enemy team only 1, and we were 4 at their door, with mist warrior too, so what I see?! I see that my fellow team mates die like bugs in seconds, I could res one up, when I res him, “it’s in downed state” and moving….
What I think that happened, there was a Reaper condi player, who had insane dmg, both condi and dps, how, I don’t know, if I weren’t healing my self with tons of heals I would be dead too, but we had 2 ele, and still mist warrior, and my friends wipe out?! What happened is that one of the opponent used a kitten cheat dmg, it’s no way that you die with 2 ele and insane condi removals, no way, and 2 players instant, sure you can die if the opponent team has no ele and that + dmg counts, but like this..it’s insane! And how to hide your cheat, put it on paper, like politicians do, what’s official and is at your eyes you can’t see the trick… it’s 99% that it’s a cheat, and you should ask your friends see how many dmg did they got at that moment, and how many healing.
I’ve seen lot’s of cheats from enemy players while I got my legendary, but never like this… and again I think this bug is a result from a cheat

Its not a game bug. Its not an official skill. It happens a lot. Its been caught on video. Guess what it is?

Nah. Just started seeing it recently. It happens a lot now.

I was able to stomp a body even though it travelled away so I think the position of the body doesn’t actually change

It is gamebreaking and absolutely hilarious though

I can confirm that it is not Search and Rescue, I’ve seen it happen in matches with no Rangers/Druids.

It has actually costed me a game because I was unable to make a stomp that would have turned a team fight in our favor. I’ve seen it happen to Revs mostly. I think me being a Rifle War with Signet of Might and downing them during skills like Surge is causing it to happen more frequently.

You can sometimes find where the “true” body is located and stomp, but what’s weird is that your character is aiming at the running body when you try to damage them.

I notice that I had to try to double and even triple stomp players this week. Only to just cleave them dead because stomping was futile. It’s either a bug or player shenanigans. Also getting really annoyed by the “stuck” bug on my Ele.

I have this happen so much each game. It really is game breaking

It happens when the downed person lagged. Although, once you hit Ruby and Diamond, pretty much everyone in that bracket has a stable connection and you never see this happen.

Also, the “stuck bug” everyone refers to only happens when you jump and get stunned mid air typically. As soon as you stop spamming jumps like a mad man, the glitch never happens.

Incorrect. I never jump in combat (unless near something I can jump on/over, of course), and it happens to me regularly. It’s correlated with taunts.

Stuck bug happens to me after every other taunt I get. Im really good at typing /sit now.

On my terrormancer I get quite a lot of sliding bodies… if they die to fear they keep moving forward <sigh>.

i’m in legend and this happens ALL the time

Best way to go about it is to cleave the area where you think they’re actually downed. The image of them is sliding away but it seems their hitbox remains still.

It occasionally happens when someone get’s downed mid-teleport, for example if a Thief uses Shortbow #5 but dies part way through the animation their hitbox and actual character model are in different spots. So just flail about with your auto-attack in the general area until you start hitting something, a stomp is pretty much a waste of time in this scenario.

It’s not a bug.
You just need to rub some butter on your armour and it does the trick!

But butter stains are so difficult to wash out of my pretty dress

Had this happen last night in a legend match too. Forest, was at the mine and some necro downed his corpse was on point but on screen he was running into the wall lol.

This is actually a really funny bug to see. Not sure what causes it but I think all 10 players paused for a second to think, um what the heck!? :-)
