Guild Wars 2

This doesn’t happen all the time, but here is some footage of what it does. This making continuing on Tribulation impossible at times.

Also: On reddit, someone suggested keeping a healing potion with you in case it happens. Apparently, if you die in a certain way in W2z1 (and perhaps not any other), the game gets confused about your status. If you use the heal potion after it calms down, you’ll be “alive enough” to interact with Moto.

I realize doesn’t do you much good if you’re currently stuck
I hope it’s useful to others in avoiding the issue.

Someone else reported that switching to windowed mode, then back to fullscreen, convinced the client to stop jumping about. IDK if it works, but hey, good luck!

I can’t tell you how to reproduce the glitched game over room, but I can tell you what happened to the player in that video and why they got stuck in the game over room.

The player had died right above the piano key checkpoint. Just to the left of that particular checkpoint are some small steps to hop up which will lead you to where that polar bear is, and continue on past it.

As you see, the player in the video immediately started jumping and wound up in the left corner of the room.

I’m guessing the player didn’t realize it was his/her last life and was expecting to respawn at that checkpoint and was pressing left and spamming jump to get back up to finish killing the polar bear and continue on with the zone.

I did end up in that glitched game over room only once. I think I was in world 2 zone 2 trib mode and near the end where you have the pillars with a couple tiny trampolines on top. Possibly I had bounced on a trampoline, came up short for landing on the next pillar, and fell to my death which took my final life. (right after the pillars is a balloon and cloud save and just beyond that is the final piano checkpoint and boss cage)

When I wound up in the glitched game over room I didn’t jump or press any keys. I figured I’d just wait until the timer runs out and I’m sent back to the hub to start the zone all over again (that is, if it wasn’t glitched so bad I’d have to exit the game and relaunch it). But, after several seconds the glitching completely stopped and I was able to use my infinite continue coin, picking up at the last checkpoint I had reached.

I’m in the habit of waiting until I respawn before trying to move or do anything. So my advice is to not rush things. When you die, don’t start spamming keys. Waiting a couple seconds isn’t going to kill you and can prevent weird stuff from happening.

So my advice is to not rush things.

Great advice generally, especially for video games. There are any number of reported GW2 bugs that only happen when someone is too hasty.

Unfortunately, players often suffer from human nature, which causes us to rush and/or panic, especially when frustrated (the normal state for many people playing Trib mode).

Just lost all my progress on a tribulation 2-2 run to this. I was nearly at the end. I paid for your stupid infinite continue coin, so you could at least make sure I’m allowed to use it.
