Twice today (5 May) in WvWvW, when I have used an arrow cart on the inner border of a parapet it has refused my request to leave; the message was something along the line of “cannot perform operation while in the air”. The only escape I have found is to WP.

In the attached screenshot, I was stuck to the arrow cart. When I took the screenshot I was hoping to capture the red error message, but either I was too slow or pressing the keys to request a screenshot dismissed the error message.

You can escape by removing and reequipping a weapon.

They really, REALLY messed up this last patch. As you can see in the picture, you are on an uneven surface. If you jump or fall onto an uneven surface, the game no longer realizes it. It still thinks you’re in the air until you walk or run in any direction.

So if you, for example, jump up to use an arrow cart like that (and aren’t moving at all/holding WASD when you hit the ground), the game thinks you’re in the air still. The client/server lets you grab the arrow cart, but you can’t use it, and you can’t drop it.

Also, you can’t use skills (ANY SKILLS) until you run in some direction. This is probably the worst thing they’ve messed up in a long time, and it’s hard to pin down (most people think it’s skill lag, but they need only move any direction to free up their skills again).

P.S. Some people report that it gets “fixed” for a while, so it’s hard to replicate. It’s possible this only happens when the server or client is being stressed, but more testing is needed… The easiest way to test is hitting Space and W (forward) for a split second, then not moving at all before trying to use skills.

Thanks! Sometimes the available WPs are a long way from where I want to be.

… As you can see in the picture, you are on an uneven surface. If you jump or fall onto an uneven surface, the game no longer realizes it. It still thinks you’re in the air until you walk or run in any direction.

That’s 100% consistent with my experience.

Given your clear description, let’s hope they get a fix in soon.

Nice to know a fix as using a WP is annoying, needs a fix ASAP

Noticed it multiple times too. To be honest, I don’t understand why you can’t use 95% of your skills while jumping, but you can jump while already casting them. Makes no sense at all.
