Hi. I know there’s always a problem with people running and picking up an object while running. I’m one of those unfortunate people where the object was always missed. Now, instead, the object gets picked up and the character moves a few more paces (hopefully not off a cliff).
Recently, though, I’ve noticed that if I’m autorunning, and I try to pick something up, it glitches out to the point where I cannot use skills at all.
I was in Lions Arch, I was autorunning (because I was goofing around), and I tried to pick up a warrior’s banner. I made the motion of picking up the banner, and had the buff as though the banner was in my hand, but did NOT get the banner skills, and the banner did not move from its spot on the ground. I then was unable to use my skills or interact with anything. The F key did not let me pick up the banner, though I tried. I could not cast spells, I could not even use my weapon. I was able to walk around with autorun again, but I could not interact. I even used the mouse click to interact, and it did nothing. IT gave me the warbanner in my hands “buff” but I didn’t actually get the banner, AND a guildy was able to pick it up as though I hadn’t ever touched it.
I’ve hated the run and pick up bug for a while, but this is worse. I had to relog in order to fix it. It happened to me again in WvW earlier today. Wanna know how fast an ele can go down in a fight when they can’t use any skills? Seconds.
Also in a guild puzzle (Snowden Drifts), picking up a cool drake egg on my way past. I was unable to use skills, or interact again. :-/
Can you try to recreate this or look into it? Autorun + picking up a warbanner.. it’s a killer.
(if it helps, I was on my elementalist in wvw and in lions arch, but on my ranger in the guild puzzle)
