Guild Wars 2

This has been going on for months now.It happens so often that im stuck in movement for about 2 – 4 sec after a weap swap to gs and a whirl.I doubt it’s lag related because ive had it happen in my gh arena yday aswell where my ping was 30 average.

I ran sw/torch,mace/shield alot and havent had it happen on that build the way it happens on gs atm,and usually it’s after the swap to gs followed by a whirl.

The stuck bug is very bad. So far i have not heard arena net acnoledge it, but it has been happening since the First major Balance patch for HoT. It startyed out with a bug in Ancient Seeds that caused Ancient seeds to proc multiple times on the same opponent. they fixed that bug and now ancient seeds works as intended but now there is a bug that sometimes all of your movement keeys just completly stop or your skills don’t activate when you press the, I cannot tell you how many times i have activated Endure pain and the skill blinks as if i pressed it, but then it ddoes not activate, or how many times i have pressed Earthshaker only to have my warry stand around like an idiot for what seems like forever before deciding that i actually pressed the darned skill. It’s extremely Annoying, and you are not alone. The only thing i can tell you is to start recording yourself playing the game, and to try and catch the bug in action. then report it to Anet with video evidence. So far i have not be able to recreate the bug as it seems to happen randomly, but there is a video of Vaans getting killed by a Druid who exploits the bug.

Just go there and watch it. You’ll notice Vaans has the upper hand until the ranger hits him with stacking ancient seeds neer the end of the fight. Vans tries every move skill he can to break the immobilize but nothing happens and he dies to bleed and arrows. Unfortunatly if you submitted this video to Anet as proof they would just say that he died because of ancient seeds and that it is working as intended. What you need a video showing the stop bug, and you not imobilized.

I had a perfect opertunity in a PVP match to record it but was not recording. Everyone in the match actually stopped playing so i could record it and report it. they were awesome. But the ranger on the other team decided to kill me as i was trying to pull up my recording software. That made everyone very angry.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve died to stuck bug today alone

record it.

Well be thankful its not happening on every movement skill you use. I found using an asuran warrior helped decrease it dramatically. I totally rerolled from my human to the asuran because of this bug….its rly bad on human race in my experience.

I still get it alot on my asuran sometimes but i find it depends on my build. Right now im running 90%-100% edurance regen with sigil of energy on my alt weap set. If I’m dodging an insane amount I find the bug to have occcur ALOT less…its almost nonexistent at times. Pretty much swapped builds on account of this lol.

Personally I have another problem with gs 3 though and thats the fact the delay from when I proc it to the actual evade/spin is a ridiculously long time lately….and it keeps getting longer. It can’t be just lagg since I can use other abilities fine and yet as soon as i gs3 there might be a very very longer delay before the spin than usual.

You mean it’s happening race specific ? Cus that could very well be true,im a maxed out norn myself.Im dueling a charr buddy of mine alot on the same build,where he Never complains about the bugg at all but he does see it happen on my norn.|

I got the delay you’re talking about aswell though,or where whirl starts stuttering mid way barely making any proper distance while im not lagging.

I recorded it aswell a couple of times by accident.
Here some examples

@ 0 min 22 sec

@ 11 min 33 sec

I think the second clip you showed it was merely because of your flurry burst locking you in place a sec.The first one does happen to me aswell usually when strafing a – d while going forward.

ahyes second clip is not valid xD I need to search more. I still have a folder somewere on my pc with way more examples, like in the first vid, but then with different weaponsets.

Thanks anet,it seems you finally managed to fix this bug.When playing last evening i never had the bug occur at all and moving around in combat while switching weaps,whirling and doing a 180 to prev loc felt butter smooth.Normally i was jittery after skill use or simply locked in place.

Thanks
