Guild Wars 2

I’ve been dying quite a bit since the patch because I will randomly become rooted in place without any conditions on me, at which time I am blown up because bursty characters have no survivability when locked in place. If my character lacks a movement causing skill on the current weapon set or a teleport in utilities, I am guaranteed to die.

This is happening for months btw…Especially in wvwvw its a deadly thing to be happening.Only way to get out is by using a movement skill ( Like whirlind for Warrior ),if that is on cd..Say bye bye,and greet death.Have posted this as a bug Months ago,with a description How to reproduce it.That it’s still present…is just…Mweh.Why should i bother to report a bug when i get no response,and i’m seeing patch after patch,the bug still exists.

Same as binding roots,it can Bug out your character Completely,if you happen to use a skill that makes your character jump,and in the meantime you get bind root on you,your character will be uncontrollable,jumping up and down unable to use any skill At All.Also happening way to often,and still present after months.This bug Will get your character killed in wvwvw.

In all honesty,i like new content,but bugs like these have been present for months now,maybe its time to Fix what you got before implementing new stuff ?

I didn’t have it happen all that often before this patch. Now it happens more games than not. :/

you sure you wasnt hit with Ranger’s AoE Root elite it shows no icons other than the bleeds it starts stacking on you.

I can confirm, this has been happening to me. Not only that, I’ve also found that my character sometimes gets stuck for example.

If I’m running and stop and then start running again with the W key my character doesn’t move for about a second. Like it’s stuck. A similar issue a while ago with jumping if anyone remembers? Your character got stuck just as you were about to jump and then you’d fall? Yeah this needs addressing quickly because if you’re in sPvP or W3 then it’s pretty much insta death.. Please have a look into this devs.

I can confirm this happens a lot in WvW, but sometimes in PvE as well. It seems to occur when a previously applied root has run it’s course, but the effects stays even though the condition is no longer there. I can last for up to 5 seconds.

Sometimes, you can “clear” the bug by releasing the “walk/run” key and pressing it again. Though, that just may be a coincidence.

I think that is actually two separate bugs.

One bug will cause you to be stuck in place until you logout or use a movement skill

The other bug seems like an error in the animation code causing you to stop moving until the game cycles through a bunch of default/fallback poses.

You’re probably right Khisanth but they need addressing as they’re both pretty annoying.

Actually Entangle repeatedly applies a short-duration immobile, which you can cleanse as soon as it’s applied in order to move, but this is not an immobile. I spent about 5 seconds the other day locked in place with no conditions but bleeding/poison. I was not stunned or dazed, or otherwise snared. I don’t know if this bug lasts only 5 seconds; I was dead before I could test it; I’m pretty much always dead when it happens.
