Guild Wars 2

I play a lvl 22 mesmer, when Im in the Tixx instances, quite early on, not long after carrying the presents, I get stuck running very slowly, possibly the same speed as you move when carrying stuff, if that does slow you down.

Needless to say this makes the instance quite a lot harder when there is no way to out run or manoeuvre around enemies, especially the toy mortars bit where im not moving fast enough to run out the circle in time so quickly run out of dodges. I still complete the instance though.

I cant remember but I have a memory of this happening in the game world somewhere too.

Are you using Signet of Inspiration?

I also wrote about this here. It’s really strange, and seems to slow you down again if you pick something up.

Im not using any run speed skills or buffs, just got stuck in slo mo, for a good 20 minutes as well until I relogged.

Artereis, we are both mesmers, I also used the greatsword but my other weapons are sword/pistol. They could be the common causes? Though I have a supsicion its more of a mesmer thing.

Since yesterday I have notest my warrior running slower then normal, to me my charactor seem’s to be very heavy and slow! I took the weapons of to see if there was any difference in running speed but the result was still running slow, Today I put the trait “Warrior’s Sprint” on that I hadn’t used before! now my character is running as before yesterday at normal speed, the problem now is I can’t really play the warrior because the character is just to slow, If I use the 10 point’s from another trait line will only unbalance my play style as warrior, so in short I to am stuck at slow speed.(

Using Arcane Thievery (or I assume any other ability that steals boons) on the toys, especially the dolls can do this to you. The only way I’ve found to clear it is to log, zone, die, or get downed.

As far as I can tell, using Arcane Thievery on almost any mob can cause the perma-slow bug. It is super annoying. Hopefully this will be fixed very soon!
