Guild Wars 2

Please fix the immobilize bug. It’s almost a guaranteed death during a mid-fight. It happens all the time (at least once or twice a game), but I don’t yet know why. It’s not tied to the immobilize condition as far as I can tell.

For those of you who have not experienced this, it’s when your character becomes totally immobile, and you have to /dodge out of it.

I get it all the time.. It usually happens after dodging and switching weapons for me.

+1 to this.

I have experienced this as well.

You can also “break” it using movement skills, and sometimes jumping, but yeh, its really annoying and needs to be fixed asap

+1

I thought it was just me since I hadn’t heard anyone else complaining about it, but hot diggity it happens to me all the time! I play a thief and I would concur that it seems to be tied to dodging since it happens far more on my daredevil than any other class.

This bug had largely cleared up for a while, but it seems to be back with a vengeance.

The fastest way to clear the bug is to use the emote /no. I got really good at doing that quick in the past, might have to learn it again.

/dance works too and it is more fun

I have been experiencing something like this as well, in WvW. Until I saw this thread on it I just thought I had been missing something (e.g. maybe I was stunned or pressing the wrong key…). Unfortunately, I have not yet determined what causes this, but I think I have only observed it in combat.

At this point I have to believe it’ll never be fixed.
As a bonus I now get this a lot in the new PvE maps
when fighting the new mobs!!!!

100% sure it happens only when in combat.
It has something to do with CC applied to you,and your dodge,weapon swap,
stability application,and use of the WASD QE keys.
It breaks with a mobile ability like a leap or /dance ,or with you dead!
So what it does really is that it just renders the movement keys of the mouse and
the keyboard useless.

Happens fairly often, at first I thought I was stuck on an object because it seems to happen alot while collecting and delivering supplies or near tall objects. I rarely switch from my fav weapon so I hadn’t noticed that.

This happens to me all the time

I thought it was just me…. plz fix this problem.. i have to dodge or use a skill to break stun to get out .. and is true what Salamander.2504 say… if you are at mid fight.. you are death if this happen

I have had this too.

This needs more attention.

Happened to me also

Bump happens to me too

Yup, happened here as well. Thought it was just me, or Shadowplay messing with my controls. Guess not :P

Happens to me a couple of times per match on some days. It is the single biggest gripe I have with the game atm.
I have found that it is possible to break the spell not by dodging or switching weapons but by not pressing any buttons for a second (I know) then resuming. Doesnt always work though.

Happens to me daily. The worst is when a skill is on cool down or you are out of endurance. Please fix this.

Oh wow so I’m not going crazy, I’ve been trying to figure out why my character gets stuck in place with no condi on me.

Yes, please fix.

This happens to me on a daily basis since HoT launched. Eventually, you just give up and learn to play the buggy game.

I’m pretty sure it has to do with terrain changes and mobility skills. I get it quite often after using Ride the Lightning on elementalist and Savage Leap on warrior to enter combat. I sometimes get it on revenant as well when using Malyx skills. My character just sits there and no skills work. Not even stun breaks or instant skills (which work even when cc’d).

My hypothesis is that it could also have to do with skill queuing. Dodging or emoting fixes it, but those two things tend to interrupt skills and flush the skill queue. Perhaps when a skill can’t execute, it clogs up the skill queue and prevents all other actions and movements, except for those that override skills, such as dodging. I wouldn’t be surprised if Anet broke something again since the skill queue was broken and then fixed during beta HoT.

Happens because you jump and get immobilize in the air so you cant do anything, prove it

Not true.

I confirm that bag as well.

I have had this since beginning of GW2… Before though it happened once a quarter or so, so I didn’t bother but now it happens alot more and… I play a scrapper with no Kits and I have gotten stuck (I bet my kidneys that I didn’t weapon swap on that character).

This has happened to me also but it is not the same bug, it is very different.
