Guild Wars 2

my best guess is that they get tiny budget for pvp and it was probably all used up for pvp rewards patch… so we won’t see anything for pvp for another year or so….

bug fixes? did you see what they did to thief shortbow and how bug still prevails after months now?

to be fair, it took blizz few months before they even aknowledged stampede bug in pvp… LoL is pvp based game, everyone would migrate to DoTA if LoL didn’t have fast fixes

that being said, gw2 turned into pretty grafics + new little story every 2 weeks game, pvp is basically a mini game here

gw2 is no different than any other mmorpgs, any issues in main features (be it raids or shiney grafics from store) get fixed pretty fast, everything else is at the bottom of the list and probably will be never fixed

i don’t think there ever will be successfull mmorpg that actually focuses on pvp

Care to explain what bug you’re talking about?

Is it the bug where you are immobilized after teleporting out of a stun or something?

In large-scaled PvP, yes. But then I could say GW2 did as well because WvW is fairly popular and people take it quite seriously.

There is no bug from what I saw. The game is absolutely perfect.
Admins, thank you, and keep up the great work.

“This is not the bug you are looking for… move along”

The bug occurs when you are CCed at the same instant you stun break it. You’re stuck in place, as if immobilized, until you do an emote that moves your character, such as dancing or sitting. In the middle of a fight, the time that it takes to do either can kill you, especially on a squishy class.

I’ve been playing since beta and while I’m not nearly as hardcore as some people (only bear rank), I’ve never seen this bug before, nor have I seen it mentioned on the forums before.

Should it be fixed? Sure. Does it merit people being this up in arms? I don’t think so.

If you really want to see a fix, then give the devs as many details as possible in bug reports, but I get the impression that this may be more of a venting post by the OP.

Uwotm8?
The single most annoying bug in PVP right now that’s been eviscerating the community since beta? (And has become more rampant recently)
U WOT M8? YOU DON’T THINK IT’S WORTH BEING UP IN ARMS ABOUT?

Well, that’s like, your opinion, man.

It would also be nice to you know…not swim under quarry or waterfall after a Phase Retreat T_T"

I see someone complain about the bug about once every three games. It’s a serious enough bug that it can and has changed the outcomes of some of those games. Yes, I think it should be fixed.

I’m always like oh yeah I’ll just dodge this earth shaker ohhh wait nope. No I wont.

As an elementalist, I’ve pretty much stopped using Lightning Flash in combat because of this bug. It was happening at least once a game and often would result in death due to having the lowest base armor in the game.

While Anet is willing to put their marketing and promotion team to good use with the ToL, they can’t be kitten d to fix a gamebreaking bug that’s only gotten more prevalent with recent updates. This is why anyone who cares about spvp and has been around for any significant length of time has absolutely given up on the ability of this company to produce a pvp scene worthy of being called “esports.”

More constructively, can we at least get someone to say “hey guys, we are aware that this bug exists. It’s tough to fix for X and X reasons but we’re working on it.”
Perhaps no one wants the responsibility of admitting they’re aware of it lol. Anyways, this is the first post I’ve made on the forums in a year or so and likely the last since it’s widely considered to be a waste of time.

This bug is so bad that some people actually build there teams out of stacking immobs forcing people to try and stunbreak/teleport out of them, and then forcing the bug to take effect. It has honestly gotten to the point where some thieves run panic strike+venom share just to keep one target completely locked down with no hope of escaping because even with the condi cleanses they are going to be stuck.

this bug is so wide spread that people have /sit typed into their chat before going into a fight so they can break out of the bug quickly.

Johnny, that’s not why they run that. Immob stacking is a valid strategy without the bug, and stacking it has no effect on whether or not the bug triggers. Immob stacking is a completely different balance issue and is not a bug.

My friend has this bug A LOT but I think it’s only happened to me a few times. I do however have a “step freeze” often, which I hate immensely.

Nope, I say keep it. Nothing is more manlier than breaking into dance midway through a fight to initiate a dance off. Now if only I could break out the dance volume.

You still also can’t use some skills when immobilized at times… : /

It has something to do with transfers so necros experience this bug alot more than any other class.
And yes just last week i lost a soloq game 100% just because of this bug.
But i normally call it stuck bug so people dont confuse it with the bug that you dodge while immobilized… #espawtbugz

No leeto anet already said that’s working as intended for necros we were too mobile.

Glad it isn’t just my imagination then. Usually the only way I can break out of it is by using another movement skill that launches your character automatically (like Ele Fire skill 3 in D/D or something similar). I don’t have time to type /sit or dance if I’m being hammered by 3 guys or something.

I only started pvp’ing 4 or so months ago (maybe longer I’m not sure) so I didn’t really notice this bug happening so much until then. Previous to this I was mainly a solo roamer on wvw and don’t recall the bug happening much then when I ran into other players. I had no idea it’d been around since launch though…. that’s very disappointing.

Using a movement skill doesn’t work with the one I’m thinking of…. I need to type /something……

To all the ignorant KITTENING KITTY players saying this bug does not exist:

This bug has been in game since forever, and it happens to me A LOT!

My experience with this bug is that when I get immobilized in mid air while I got a skill precast (like PW), I get stuck untill I die. Or untill I weapon swap, dance, shadowstep, log out.

Losing a battle this way is not only unfair, but also unacceptable to even exist.

Daoc didnt focus on pvp at all. Focus was on PvE, with RvR being second. No PvP at all except for PvP server – which was like last to receive any kind of focus. Oh yes… and dueling events, which if you participated could actually get you temp banned

Dont glorify.

Ultima Online was a successful mmo that at least started out as a pvp based game, still has a decent community especially for game made in 1997.

Maybe you just don’t use stunbreaks… I get the immobilize bug almost every day in WvW.

Necros get hit hard by this bug.

As a necro, this bug has bent me over repeatedly, and let the entire enemy team have their way with my stiff soft necromancer body
