OK so I’m kind of curious about this bug because I’ve asked a number of players that claim this has been around since launch and still hasn’t been fixed or even addressed.
During any mode of gameplay usually after consecutive dodges or Reapers Deaths Charge (of note, this bug is not exclusive to Reapers) or even a combination of the two, I find myself completely locked up unable to move in any direction at all until my evade bar charges to a point where I can evade again to break the lockdown.
I’m not afflicted with any conditions that hinder movement, I’ve had players from EU and US as well as Australia (my home) report the same issue when I quiz them on it so the issue isn’t lag or ping either.
This is an insanely infuriating bug since it happens very frequently and will most often happen during an important conflict either in WvW, PvP or in boss fights and can cost you the fight in the blink of an eye, especially against other players.
Again this is happens regardless of class as I’ve tested it on every available class in the game.
It’s a pretty serious issue and I can’t understand why it’s gone unresolved for so long.
Also worth mentioning is Death’s Charge, which has serious aiming issues. I’m supposed to be able to auto home in on a given target on the premise that I’m locked on and they haven’t broken line of sight via some form of stealth or evade, more often than not (like at least 70% of the time) I’m launched off in some random direction or I don’t gain any ground whatsoever. Reeeeally bad when I’m trying to close gaps.
