Guild Wars 2

FIX THIS ANET DEVS…CANT MOVE HAVE TO LOG OUT TO FIX OR DO /DANCE WHILE IN WVW FIGHTS…PERMA IMMOBILIZE. PATHETIC ANET.

I don’t know if this was brought up before, but the search in the forums didn’t bring anything up. Anyways I really don’t know what is causing this issue. All I know is either I am currently moving or I was immobilized from a condition or something happened during the dodge roll, but I seem to be stuck in place and can’t move. Dodging by double tapping the keys, pressing V, trying to walk with the mouse, nothing worked. This has happened on 3 of my characters. Once on my Guardian doing Wurm (I was stuck in place for about 30-45 seconds before finding a way to move), Once on my Mesmer (I think I was doing train in queensdale), and Once on my Elem doing CoF (which sucked as I got stuck and I couldn’t get the final boss chest before the leader left).

I can get unstuck by using a skill that will move me from the current location (GS with Guard, Blink with Mesmer, staff roll with Elem), but it’s getting more annoying and I don’t want this to happen in anymore dungeon runs or even in WvW for that matter. Anyone else getting this issue?

I have been having this issue in WvW. It seems to occur during fights where I have either had conditions or immobilize applied and after the effects have worn off I am rooted in place with no conditions on my character. I am only able to unroot myself by using sword leap, then everything is normal. This is a terrible bug in WvW, especially if you are unaware of whats happening because you are rooted and your opponent is free to beat you into oblivion.

I’ve had this happen where I got stuck inside a Risen Catapult. I could not get out without waiting to get out of combat (another mechanic that needs rework) to waypoint away. This happened on the Arah Risen Wizard run.

Same thing! And here I thought it was something with my client or my keyboard!

Sometimes seemingly at random after using some skills, I get stuck in place, almost as if immobilized for about 1 second. I’ve yet to uncover any real useful patterns, but it seems to happen most often after using a movement skill, or something that changes my 1-5 keys. It only happens 1 out of 100 times, making it inconsistent and difficult to reproduce.

And last night, after getting off a Flame Ram in WvW, I was completely unable to move normally. Couldn’t even dodge. I finally used Warrior GS #3. The Whirl worked as normal, and I was unstuck afterwards.

I have had that same problem on my warrior.
For me it was very easy to reproduce : go do the aetherpath in twilight arbor, get to the foreman and his crew, get knocked down by one of the mobs and do not use a breakstun… then stuck. I swear, I ran this path at least a dozen times and it happened systematically.
I would have gone crazy if I hadn’t got a sword (leap on #2)

I wrote a post for this issue over a week ago, it has happened to me in every dungeon in my run tonight, it actually got me killed because the only way to get out of the stun is to use a leap ability not even shake it off works for me. I leaped to get out in CoF nothing and flew right into the lava. Please A-net at least acknowledge that this is an issue so we know you are looking into it.

I have had the same issue over the last few days. I’ve only had it on my necro and only when I exit a Form (either Lich Form or Death Shroud). Then I am simply stuck in place, cannot move by any means, no conditions on me, just stuck :s

I get this all the time on my elementalist. All movement keys suddenly stop working. The only reliable way to fix it seems to be to use a movement skill (e.g., dagger fire 3.) Fortunately, elementalist has a lot of these.

This stuck bug seems to happen when I tried to revive someone but I couldn’t save him/her. Then I tried to move but for whatever reason I cannot move at all. I have no stun/lock condition on me that would prevent me from moving.

This is probably the bane of all bugs in GW2, since enemies in WvW are free to kill you while risking the opportunities to miss WvW Season 1 related achievements. I was enraged.

I won’t know how this crap got through new content releases, but until it’s fixed I will not risk reviving downed players in WvW.

This has been happening for a very long time now- however I feel there should be some differentiation made here: There’s two bugs I see mentioned in this thread thus far, similar but seemingly caused by two different things.

One bug is pretty frequent and has been around for as long as I can remember: Use of a movement skill will often cause you to be unable to move, stupidly stuck in a mid animation walk/run pose, until you move in a different direction. Maybe a good 10% of my ele’s ride the lightning’s result in me simply being stuck at the end of it, about the same for my engi’s rocket boots.

Another bug seems to be caused by knockbacks/launches(?). I’ve for some reason, only experienced this on my warrior – on knockback/launch I sometimes get stuck as if immobilized, and cannot simply move in a different direction to break free. The only way to fix it is to use a movement skill, which warrior fortunately has no lack of.

Tarnished Coast Engineer and… general alt-o-holic.

For the toast!

I was just going to make this thread.. its extremely annoying and completely broken…

Im pretty sure its based off of any CC type condition/stun.

- Ive been stunned, popped stability and cannot dodge or attack.

- Ive been immobolized(and condi spammed), cleansed, have nothing on me and now im stuck in place unable to dodge or move or attack… It becomes a free kill.

- Same thing happens when building siege, it gets built, now your stuck in place.. or even worse you can move but can use no attacks or skills until you place more siege or zone.

So yea im not sure if its an immobilization or rooting in place type effect like from placing siege. But its completely broken. Dont know if its from them giving immobilize stacks and something gets messed up when the stacks get cured…?

Edit: just read someone mentioned the revive stuck in place. Ive noticed that too especially in fotm while trying to revive you cant cancel the animation.

I am happy that I am not the only one suffering from this bug, but at the same time I am sad that so many of us are.

I did notice this topic: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Superior-Rune-of-Afflicted-nova-bug

I believe this is exactly what is happening to us (just another way of achieving this bug). I am going to link this topic in there and see if we can get acknowledgement.

Bump because this happened to me today.

Yup and it’s getting really annoying because it seems like they don’t know this bug even exists while anyone that has played for extensive periods has suffered from this one.

The least fun things right now is Druid perma immob, then Warrior and Mesmer perma stun, and then thieves perma evade. It’s like kitten Anet, how about get your butt’s into WvW and play it. Then you’ll get a clue how to balance it.

Anet wonders why WvW population dwindles. It’s because combat isn’t as fun anymore!

Whenever you use a teleport skill there is a chance you get stuck, permanently unable to move nor dodge. You can still jump in place. Some others have reported that downed state/immobilize/building siege/knockback could also trigger this bug. It doesn’t happen very often though.

Workarounds to free yourself once you get stuck:

1. Weapon swap
2. Teleport again
3. Emote
4. Waypoint

This bug has been in the game since the beginning. It’s been reported several times by many players. I guess the devs have thrown in the towel on this one.

Yeah really sick of this one. Seems to get me 2 or 3 times a week. Something to do with dodging or stun breaking and stupid ranged knockdown or immob.

Re-logging or dying and re-spawning won’t help. I end up stuck at spawn lol. Completely restarting helps. Sometimes a movement skill or dance will clear it.

in the meantime try this; /sit usualy works

In general it’s linked to CC. The biggest offender at the moment is taunt be it revs or druids. I was fighting a Druid and every time I came close to downing him he taunted me (well the pet did) and I had to spend a second or two typing /no and checking if I could move again. By that time CA and full health.

It’s right up there with being immobilised in mid air and being unable to do anything at all but weep.

The condition immobilize can honestly just be removed from the game.

RodOfDeath.5247:

Lol…

It’s a bug that often gets caused by cleansing taunt.

It mostly has to do with movement based skills. I have had this multiple times with my reaper shroud leap in recent history, but also with other leaps. I am not sure if it is from canceling the skill before it finishes or something else tied to movement based skills. However the known ways to fix it were listed above,

Swapping weapons (this includes going into DS for necros)
doing certain emotes, such as /sit /dance
Using another movement skill. (this DOES include the daredevil specialized dodges, as they are treated separately from regular dodges. Regular dodges WILL NOT clear this bug however)

Generally the easiest is the emote. However obviously in the middle of a fight its going to cost you, but until anet actually fixes it, its all you can really do.

i believe theres multiple bugs that appear similar to the user.

I can get the immovable bug very consistently on my rev after dodge and riposting shadow spam. skills still work but the character wont move for 30-45 seconds. using a movement skill like riposting shadows allows normal function again.

theres other bugs where /sit works and sometimes it doesnt while /dance fixes it instead.

While you are at fixing bugs, Anet
Can we finally get a good rework of stealth that makes it less fail proof and making stacking thieves and mesmers in roaming less effective?

This has been going on for awhile, usually occurs from anything skills/effects that cause movement, like teleport/shadowstep skills, you can find yourself rooted when the action is completed. Very frustrating for this to happen during fights let alone all the kitten immobilize that’s getting thrown around.

Hate this bug as a driver… so kittened. Hopefully anet fixes it this year.

The strange this about this is glitch is, has it resurfaced or has it always been there?

I have been playing scrapper since HoT release and I cant remember any time it has happened. No seriously, not even once. It’s been nearly the only class played with only a short time of other classes.

But lately I have been running my tempest more and it happens pretty much every time I am on it, every day. In 1 week I have had to /dance more than in 1 year.

That seems oddly specific.

yep I never used to see it as d/d ele in pvp or staff ele in wvw but i see it all the time with DH/reaper now…

This most recently has been happening to me because of taunt. When warriors use their berserker mode taunt, it happens to me as well. I made a post in the bug report action but apparently no one cared enough. Ranger taunt does it to me all the time. May not be the same exact issue as going back 2 years, but it is an issue.

Work around is type “/sit” and you’re free. Really really really annoying problem though.

Edit: I actually took the time to go in to my guild hall against a friend and we tested this with several classes. Ranger and Warrior taunts made me get stuck every time, Revenant taunt did not for some reason. Those were the ones we tested.

Always blaming rangers and druids lol… It’s a game bug, not specific to any profession.

The immob bug sucks, kills the flow of action combat. Just feels like it’s happening more and more lately.

Fix this ANET, its irritating.

the infamous immob bug. it used to not happen very often, but recently its been happening all the time. a couple of times i got it twice in a pvp match. i hate it so much. i wouldnt mind if all else was put on hold to fix this one thing.

Swagger.1459:

Unless of course its triggered by specific skills which means its specific to professions using them.

Someone else verifying the taunt theory would be nice (I have no friends so I cant).

Yeah this happened to me again today in SM. Culprit was a druid. Really getting annoying. When your movement skills are on cooldown you’re pretty much hosed unless you can pull off a clutch /dance before getting focused down.

This is happening more often and needs to be fixed. Gonna agree with Stand The Wall. Wouldn’t mind this being priority #1.

Pattern seems to be CC’d while off the ground. Seen it via jumps, knockbacks and other things that launch and then hit while in air.

Start a new thread in the Bugs forum every time it happens.

They don’t read this forum.

heya
same thing happened to me on many times when using “Self-Regulating Defenses” of engineer line alchemy.
if you have imobilize on you, the trait triggers, remove imob as a condition, cant move anywhere (the invulnerable state lasts 3-4s) and you would like to move – run – in a tower – into the group, no, you cant, so just stay there and get killed after.

or happened with other classes (ranger and guardian) with taunts or imobilize – remove them and then, no point on moving because you cant!

found this out too, and it happened also in sm, is it a map thing? i got pbs and then imbo by the trait, normally that is not an issue as a thief but I could not dash out of it, nor could i steal/port. it looks similar to the the jump imbo bug however i didnt do any such action.

Did they PBS you on an elevation so you flew backwards but also changed position on the Z axis?

That way you have it all trigger and immob you while you might be a minute distance off the ground but still mid air. You can even look like you’re on the ground but not technically.

nah man, was out side a gate at inner south sm. was fat ground.

They did. And then everyone was saying that TC has dev support.

Shame it is against the ToS to macro an emote using Auto Hotkey. It would be a crappy work around but it would work. It wouldn’t even be that difficult to write.

Unfortunately nobody can advocate a temporary (well long term now) fix like this.

THIS needs to be fixed before any further work on scoring. Seriously.

Skynet.7201:

Inb4 they say “This is a quality of life thing, you guys decided on scoring so #GetRekt” like they did about those obnoxious popup messages that tell you when something was captured or claimed that we have no option to turn off.

I think Taunt is the culprit behind this bug. I noticed the last few times this happened to me was after I broke out of taunts, I just wouldn’t be able to move unless I used /sit or /dance or whatever. There was another bug where if you were taunted while you had resistance, you’d be perma-taunted…it would just never end and you wouldn’t be able to target anything else but the source of the taunt, even if you ran really far away from them. I think it was fixed though, Idk…but yeah, taunt is kind of a buggy cc and should be removed from game until it’s totally smoothed out.

Im just gonna bump this cause its still happening and as someone already posted it seems to happen when standing on uneven ground. Please fix this. Btw its not just druids.

Had this happen to me today while fighting…Had to do dance emote in front of an enemy zerg…

This bug’s been around since I started playing 1.5 years ago, but it seems to be getting more frequent. Had it happen in the middle of a pvp match the other day, and then again in a zerg fight. It’s pretty bad.

I have to assume that it’s still happening because the code responsible is a nightmarish house of cards that no one wants to even look at, let alone try to fix.

This is ironic because so many ppl in WvW are basically immune to my druid’s immobilize.

Reh.5986:

Yeah really sick of this one. Seems to get me 2 or 3 times a week.

Lucky you. If you’re a Ranger and using greatsword, it’s like every other attack.

The evade on the third attack in the auto chain gets me this immob bug constantly. I’m talking maybe once every other fight with a player (assuming I use my GS during said fights).

It effects all professions but I’m almost certain that it’s worst on Ranger. Staff, sword and greatsword all do it on a very regular basis and it’s incredibly obnoxious.

Cecilia.5179:

They’re not talking (well not everyone) about the condition immobilise, they’re talking about the stuck bug where a hard CC can make the game think you’re somewhere you aren’t and so nothing works and the only thing you can do is an emote to free yourself.

The point is exactly as I stated it, the Dev’s don’t play enough and that’s why it’s not on their radar as something to fix. Then illustrate that they actually design in the things that Proc the bug widely. I mostly play on my Reaper or Staff Ele and this immob bug happens multiple times per day! Remove the hard CC’s if they can’t fix the bug!!!

Ya, its not a bug with the condition immobilize itself, its with hard cc and yes you just get stuck. It seems they are aware of it https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/external?l=http%3A%2F%2Fhelp.guildwars2.com%2Fentries%2F98802888. Seems its in the process of being verified. I hope they understand that when we say immobilized we mean we actually cant move and we don’t mean the condition itself. That would be hilarious if all this time they were trying to fix the condition and not the situation in which it occurs. Lol.

Happens with evades as well which is why Ranger greatsword is such a pain to use. Spam the AA while moving and you’ll get the stuck bug eventually.

The infamous movement bug. Been getting it a lot more lately since HoT

I’ve had druid immob me before. It’s an elite ability. And there’s bugs to immob attacks. Just like the Rev hammer abilities. Hope they fix it. Using the dance command isn’t on my to do list.

Reaper…reaper shroud 2 the immob is terrible for this skill at the moment. And not only in fights!!! This happens randomly even when there are no enemies in sight.

As a fat necro I have used reaper shroud 2 to catch up with the zerg in wvw only to more likely than not get stuck in terrain…..this is just travelling with no enemy players around casting skills so RS2 is just bugged!! In a fight it’s just awful.

Thinking of shelving my reaper as this immob has become so bad lately that to use reaper shrouds in fights leads to immob and insta death

i know 3 bug

immob in the air : surface irregularities ,when player jump get immob , dodge with jump by pressing space and dodge same time and get immob

to be stuck in the air with immob you can`t do nothing . no skill is working any more
when the immob is over all is normal .

Druid Taunt
i think is pet taunt with druidform
you get taunt druid ending is form get stealth with is pet you stuck .
when stuck help one think emote
other thinks don´t help skills or dodgeroll don`t work

greetings crowfear
