Guild Wars 2

I don’t know if this was brought up before, but the search in the forums didn’t bring anything up. Anyways I really don’t know what is causing this issue. All I know is either I am currently moving or I was immobilized from a condition or something happened during the dodge roll, but I seem to be stuck in place and can’t move. Dodging by double tapping the keys, pressing V, trying to walk with the mouse, nothing worked. This has happened on 3 of my characters. Once on my Guardian doing Wurm (I was stuck in place for about 30-45 seconds before finding a way to move), Once on my Mesmer (I think I was doing train in queensdale), and Once on my Elem doing CoF (which sucked as I got stuck and I couldn’t get the final boss chest before the leader left).

I can get unstuck by using a skill that will move me from the current location (GS with Guard, Blink with Mesmer, staff roll with Elem), but it’s getting more annoying and I don’t want this to happen in anymore dungeon runs or even in WvW for that matter. Anyone else getting this issue?

I have been having this issue in WvW. It seems to occur during fights where I have either had conditions or immobilize applied and after the effects have worn off I am rooted in place with no conditions on my character. I am only able to unroot myself by using sword leap, then everything is normal. This is a terrible bug in WvW, especially if you are unaware of whats happening because you are rooted and your opponent is free to beat you into oblivion.

I’ve had this happen where I got stuck inside a Risen Catapult. I could not get out without waiting to get out of combat (another mechanic that needs rework) to waypoint away. This happened on the Arah Risen Wizard run.

Same thing! And here I thought it was something with my client or my keyboard!

Sometimes seemingly at random after using some skills, I get stuck in place, almost as if immobilized for about 1 second. I’ve yet to uncover any real useful patterns, but it seems to happen most often after using a movement skill, or something that changes my 1-5 keys. It only happens 1 out of 100 times, making it inconsistent and difficult to reproduce.

And last night, after getting off a Flame Ram in WvW, I was completely unable to move normally. Couldn’t even dodge. I finally used Warrior GS #3. The Whirl worked as normal, and I was unstuck afterwards.

I have had that same problem on my warrior.
For me it was very easy to reproduce : go do the aetherpath in twilight arbor, get to the foreman and his crew, get knocked down by one of the mobs and do not use a breakstun… then stuck. I swear, I ran this path at least a dozen times and it happened systematically.
I would have gone crazy if I hadn’t got a sword (leap on #2)

I wrote a post for this issue over a week ago, it has happened to me in every dungeon in my run tonight, it actually got me killed because the only way to get out of the stun is to use a leap ability not even shake it off works for me. I leaped to get out in CoF nothing and flew right into the lava. Please A-net at least acknowledge that this is an issue so we know you are looking into it.

This bug really is annoy at least in this halloween activity while ghost fear villager and villagers dont have skill what move that is sure death there.

This issue happened to me again today, just bumping to keep this on the main page maybe get some insight on this issue.

I have had the same issue over the last few days. I’ve only had it on my necro and only when I exit a Form (either Lich Form or Death Shroud). Then I am simply stuck in place, cannot move by any means, no conditions on me, just stuck :s

I get this all the time on my elementalist. All movement keys suddenly stop working. The only reliable way to fix it seems to be to use a movement skill (e.g., dagger fire 3.) Fortunately, elementalist has a lot of these.

This stuck bug seems to happen when I tried to revive someone but I couldn’t save him/her. Then I tried to move but for whatever reason I cannot move at all. I have no stun/lock condition on me that would prevent me from moving.

This is probably the bane of all bugs in GW2, since enemies in WvW are free to kill you while risking the opportunities to miss WvW Season 1 related achievements. I was enraged.

I won’t know how this crap got through new content releases, but until it’s fixed I will not risk reviving downed players in WvW.

This has been happening for a very long time now- however I feel there should be some differentiation made here: There’s two bugs I see mentioned in this thread thus far, similar but seemingly caused by two different things.

One bug is pretty frequent and has been around for as long as I can remember: Use of a movement skill will often cause you to be unable to move, stupidly stuck in a mid animation walk/run pose, until you move in a different direction. Maybe a good 10% of my ele’s ride the lightning’s result in me simply being stuck at the end of it, about the same for my engi’s rocket boots.

Another bug seems to be caused by knockbacks/launches(?). I’ve for some reason, only experienced this on my warrior – on knockback/launch I sometimes get stuck as if immobilized, and cannot simply move in a different direction to break free. The only way to fix it is to use a movement skill, which warrior fortunately has no lack of.

I was just going to make this thread.. its extremely annoying and completely broken…

Im pretty sure its based off of any CC type condition/stun.

- Ive been stunned, popped stability and cannot dodge or attack.

- Ive been immobolized(and condi spammed), cleansed, have nothing on me and now im stuck in place unable to dodge or move or attack… It becomes a free kill.

- Same thing happens when building siege, it gets built, now your stuck in place.. or even worse you can move but can use no attacks or skills until you place more siege or zone.

So yea im not sure if its an immobilization or rooting in place type effect like from placing siege. But its completely broken. Dont know if its from them giving immobilize stacks and something gets messed up when the stacks get cured…?

Edit: just read someone mentioned the revive stuck in place. Ive noticed that too especially in fotm while trying to revive you cant cancel the animation.

Don’t let this get buried.

I am happy that I am not the only one suffering from this bug, but at the same time I am sad that so many of us are.

I did notice this topic: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Superior-Rune-of-Afflicted-nova-bug

I believe this is exactly what is happening to us (just another way of achieving this bug). I am going to link this topic in there and see if we can get acknowledgement.

Bump because this happened to me today.
