Guild Wars 2

For Kitten sakes! Please fix Phase Retreat. I can count the number of times i’ve been stuck under terrain. That is all.

What do you mean for “Kitten” sake??

He will kill a kitten every hour until they do. Please save those poor kittens.

Agreed

Had to port out of a story instance last night because phase retreat got me stuck in a floor

Yeah, it was kind of funny. I had leveled almost entirely with the Greatsword and Sword/Focus.

So a few days ago, I decided to try out the staff in sPvP just to see what was so good about it. I jump into an sPvP match and start it up. I engage a rogue, summon my phantasms and then Phase Retreat…

… under the ground. I can swim around a little, but I’m basically stuck. Awesome. So I try to escape for a few minutes and then just go back to the lobby. I try another match.

Match starts. I start fighting another Mesmer. I summon my phantasms, then I hit Phase Retreat and… yup. Stuck beneath the terrain again. Two uses of Phase Retreat, and both times send me underground.

Screw it. I went back to the lobby and put my Greatsword back on.

AnubisXy, that wasn’t a bug but a hidden feature.

Thieves get a “Bury Mesmers six feet under” as a hidden 0 Trickery Trait. There other hidden 0 traits for the other Trait-lines involve the other classes in some form.

=P

For rangers, it seems to be, zero in the camero until you can’t see jack around you, thus limiting your field of vision and thus getting you killed to rogues. Have a nice day.

“Kitten” is the forums replacement for swear words, I bet you can figure out the rest yourself now

Am I just lucky that I’ve leveled entirely as staff and I’ve never once gotten stuck beneath the terrain? I am annoyed however, that phase retreat, for some reason, randomly causes my character to turn around 180 degrees. Which is slightly annoying.

Yeah sometimes i turn around as well, but its not a huge deal. Ive been stuck at least 12 times. At least i could get out almost all of the times by spamming 2 for a lil while but it is still really annoying.

Every skill that ports you can bug you in weird places or under the map. I got stucked inside mountains, under the map, and, my personal fav… inside a balista
Judges intervation, phase retreat, god even double images once all got me bugged. So basically now im paying more attention to where i am before casting any port skill, not that it helped much, but i am :P

God yes.

I love using the staff, but I have to be so careful not to teleport under the ground with it. It seems to happen mostly when two terrain types meet.

To be honest, this is not a Staff#2 specific issue.
I suspect a fix needs a fairly large change in the way the pathing works.

Although yes, we need one.

Are you 80?

For me the bug seemed to be much more frequent as i entered high level areas. Never encountered it in lower level zones but maybe you are just lucky and escaped it

Defintely agree, this happens quite often and is very boring, especially when it’s coupled with the bug keeping you in combat, which makes you unable to teleport … cool. I’d like to see a command like .stuck that checks if you’re under the map and, if so, puts you back on the land, but I guess I’m hoping too much and we’ll have to wait until everything is perfect …

FYI, Illusionary Leap is still doing this too.

Fought the Vigial Tactician Skill Challenge in Straits last night…leapt to him…BAM! I’m through the floor. Worse yet, stuck in combat. After about 5 minutes of intense swearing I noticed i could still sic my illusions on him…so I tried another leap.

And managed to fix myself. I wouldn’t count on that happening again though.
