Hey guys! Long time GW player, new to the forums, I was wondering if you guys could help me out with something.

I seem to be frequently encountering an issue regarding moving my character (general movement, walking, running etc) whereby she will stop moving altogether as if locked down similar to bind.
Now it’s important that I point out because some people may think I’m being affected by a random status that hinders motion, chill, bind, frozen and so on but this is not the case at all.
I will simply be running across Tyria/Maguuma or engaged in combat with an enemy and usually after a dodge or a quick change in direction I find I’m suddenly locked in place unable to move for at least 2-3 seconds, usually requiring that I dodge again to gain any motion back.
It can even happen when using moves that usually traverse large distances, I’m a Reaper class and skill 2 in Reaper shroud sends you flying forward towards your intended target, but I regularly use this skill only to go nowhere, performing the move locked in place.

Has anyone else encountered this? I know my partner says she also has this happen, using her Ele/thief/Mes.

I’ll restate again I’ve been VERY careful to check that I’m not afflicted by any status affect at all during the course of this taking place.
It most regularly happens during combat or during fast combinations of motion.
It can be a pain because there have been a number of occasions it caused me to get smashed as a result of not being able to stay in motion.
It also affects all modes of play, PVE, PVP, WVW makes no difference.
