Guild Wars 2

For people who don’t know what immobilize bug is, it is when you get immobilized while in the air, you become unable to cast any skill for the duration of the immobilize, not even a stunbreaker.

After the first immobilize, Helseth jumps and gets immobilized while in the air, he can’t cast his stun breaker (blink) and dies. Jebro is like “he still had blink” so yeah if Jebro doesn’t even know about this bug, then clearly the devs don’t know as well. Please fix this bug, it’s been two years, and it’s so annoying for people who jump around a lot.

I agree this bug is extremely frustrating, immobilize should not lock you in the Z-axis

Yep, extremly annoying, please fix this.

why complain over something so small
simple fix
dont jump?

“Don’t jump”
Hmm ok. I will now just stand there with my mesmer while say a thief is attacking me and I won’t try to parkour my way out because yeah, being instantly killed is better than having a slight chance of getting immobilized mid air. Oh, I’ll also miss my phantasms due to obstructed instead of jumping to make them him.

The problem is that since recent patches it also affects leaping skills like heartseeker, savage leap etc…

I don’t even bother pvping anymore on my thief as i know i will get killed every time i will try to use HS and someone is smart (or random) enough to use immob at that time.

Will you also tell us not to use weapons because of this “small” bug that prevents player from using any spells unless their character dies or immob runs out?

so small, yeah
numerous times per day
so small
go to stairs on foefire, that’s how civilized people do! and maybe take a break for tee when fighting over a node?
plzzz

The only time you need to jump is if you are climbing rocks, gravestones or something of that nature to escape. 99% of people getting this bug just random jump all over like they are avoiding skills doing so. Fix for them, is to stop jumping for nothing. It is an issue that needs to be addressed and has gone to long unchecked. Other time but more rare is when someone falling and gets imobed. For example…walking off clock tower to get home with someone behind you; imbos you right as you start your fall..etc.. OR a leap move that doesn’t cause evade.

what is fix for those classes that get immobed mid of leaping skills and can#t use any spells?

stop playing the class/weapon set? great solution bro

this bug killed me so many times, immops are already all over the place and it is crazy when you have a bug with it….. PLEASE FIX NOW

I predicted immobilize would become the most game-breaking annoying bugged-out aspect of the game when they decided to allow it to stack. Guess what, it is.

A lot of things that were perfect on released were broken. It’s what happens when you play and change the stuff that is has been working instead of making new skills for the expansion.

I guess now it’s not really true anymore, since they are finally making new skills.

Died to this bug just 5 minutes ago, gg

Been dying again due to this. Anet pls?

This bug sometimes goes into extreme mode when the affected player is lifted up into air, a lot higher than jumping/skills reach, all chained up with immob, and then he falls down. Happened to me 4-5 times so far, once I saw it on enemy player. Survivability so far is 0%.

Agreed, lets keep this on the front page to bring attention. Good find OP. It’s nice to see that this wasn’t known by all the A-Net Devs. Otherwise I think a fix would be implemented.

If anyone has video proof of immobilize bug happening to yourself, feel free to post

I got 100-0 on engi because I got immobed by a thief mid air, then perma immobed by mesmer/turret engi.

It’s fun having every single cooldown up but being able to use them and watching your charachter die.

And the thief told me “Don’t jump”, clearly it’s my fault for jumping.

so i will not use my sword skill #2 or my Hammer F1 ES? bugs are bugs even how small it is specially in competitive part of the game.

Just died to this nonsense – I can’t wait till it’s fixed.

Talking about this bug can get you a forum infraction.

careful people

they still think they are bunny hopping in de_dust

The bridge is destroyed. Answer: “Don’t fix, just take a boat”

Winner of simple logic since beginning of humanity.

More like jumping over a map obstacle and getting hit with Entangle while in the air… GG

I’ve read that having /sit permanently typed in chat (and I have chat set on the Enter key) should at least be a workaround – so hitting the Enter key twice would fix it.

What was that thing again? Where you had to /dance your way out?

This bug very heavily affects PvP and it’s been at least a year now. Are the devs aware of this?

I don’t know which specific emote work, or whether they all work (can someone help/clarify please), but I’m never going to engage in combat with other player again without having an emote pre-typed in chat… until this bug is fixed.

I’m guessing they’re unable to fix it and therefore pretend the bug doesn’t exist.

LoL man he jumped before imobilize so he is stuck in the air and can’t do anything not even attack to break the immobilize tentacle. It is annoying bug.

Don’t feed the trolls.

Simple fix, don’t jump

/thread

Bug fixed

Please close

Thanks for quick response

Remove “space button” from keyboard, gg

/sarcasm

For anyone saying not jumping will pseudo fix it, thats also not true. It can happen when using a leap skill.

“Don’t use leap skills, don’t jump. Don’t fall, just walk off slowly. Dodge launch.”

Especially annoying with phase retreat, but yeah any similar skill.

Dodge launch, but do not jump-dodge launch because there is a bug where the immob and dodge happens at the same time, which can lead to mid air immob! Legit bug.

Obviously this person has never played mesmer before or is a kittenty mesmer cuz kiting is all about jumping from place to place. Eremite l2p plox

I’ve heard from everyone I’ve asked that the immob bug is hard to fix since it’s more about base movement functions than simply immobilize. That said it’s been a long time and the fact it hurts classes that have to kite, i.e. mesmer and that their counter, teef, has tons of immobs is kinda messsed up.

Any news yet?

So many casualties each day…

And it’s still not fixed…

…and it will probably never be fixed because the developers don’t play their own broken game enough to ever be inconvenienced by it.

…and they certainly never pvp.
