Guild Wars 2

Phase Retreat works oddly for me….a good few times now I’ve gotten stuck in odd places.

I got stuck in a big fire torch, a dog hound cage, a helicopter?!…also in invisible walls in mounts and hills. Is this some sort of bug?

I asked a fellow mesmer user if they have ever gotten stuck anywhere using phase retreat, and they said no…so it’s odd I’ve experienced it.

Even in Tixx’s Infinitarium just yesterday I got stuck in an invisible wall after using phase retreat. The only way out is to way point on every occasion.

Anyone else experienced this?

Happen with any teleports. Last time it happened, a few days ago, it was with Sword #3. I got stuck one of those things with fire on it in cliffside and I was unable to blink out, on top of my group wiping while I was trying to get out. So I was forced to leave the group and let them 4man, since apparently, /stuck isn’t working at all(wiki says it may puts you in a fractal solo, but it doesn’t even do anything)

Yeah I get stuck pretty regular with phase retreat. Yesterday I even wound up underneath the wvw map. Sometimes I can use blink to get unstuck, if I target the top surface of whatever I’m stuck in.

So is with Illusionary Leap. I’m so scared everytime I try to use teleporting skills.

The classic response would be “OMG, I get stuck all the time”, but it would be hyperbole. The actual rate is about once every few days for me when using staff regularly.

Recent spots I recall: Jormag (stuck behind barrels), WvW (stuck in rocks), and AC (ported into the lake under the zone). Yep, there’s actually a lake under the AC dungeon, which is handy considering the distance. I could swim around and kill burrows above me, too. So, it was at least a partial blessing.

The first time I experienced this was during the lost shores event. Me and some other random mesmer got ourselves stuck near the ori node, and were there for a good 10 minutes. It was only then did I find the solution. Just try using blink and portal to get out, it works 95% of the time.

And yes, I get stuck everywhere. It’s irritating but every now and then it saves my life.

Happens every now and again. I actually find it quite fun to see what objects I can get stuck in. Also, more often than not it’s saved my life in Wv3.

Think of it as another random element in the randomness that is the mesmer. Just thank the heavens it doesn’t teleport you off ledges.

I have the same problem. The other thing I have noticed since patch is Staff 2 turns you 180 degrees when you use it so you are facing away from the enemy after you use it. I always end up pulling another mob because it will auto attack right after casting it.

This used to happen to me a lot, but since the patch where the behavior of the skill was adjusted, it happens very seldom. I just /bug report it whenever it happens, hopefully the devs will be able to pull some useful data from the logs.

I actually have teleported into a wall in WvW that was ours, but was later capped by the enemy. I was able to kill people inside the wall…. it was quite funny. They couldn’t hit me for about 20+ mins. Then a engineer popped his flamethower out and downed me lol

Thank goodness it’s not just me then! Was beginning to think I was doing something wrong.

I agree, it is actually quite fun in a way….inconvenient, but fun too.

Also I agree Ramiel, I am sooo glad I don’t get teleported off ledges. I guess I prefer getting stuck in things.

I got stuck three times today. Once in a cage with a spider, another time in a personal story instance that I had to restart, and one more time inside a cart. But today was a bad day for getting stuck. I’ve taken it to calling it the mesmer tax.
Sometimes I just find myself weird places and it takes me a second to figure out where I’ve gone. Wound up on top of a cliff once. Another time I was on, like, a strut or something underneath the bridge I had been standing on.
