Guild Wars 2

I believe this happens if you are holding the right mouse button while moving (to rotate the camera). At least in my case it happens when I’m doing that

Yes, this is the case mostly

Good tip. Release the right mouse when picking up. I’ll keep that in mind. Kind of annoying really.

So that’s what happens!
I’ve been recently noticing this a lot, but I didn’t realize it was when I was trying to pick things up.
The great part about how bag this bug is that you run in a straight line, regardless of where you change the direction you run

Could this explain why I have been running right off the edge of so many jumping puzzles? It seems to be happening a lot lately. I thought I might need a new keyboard.

And thank you for a reply on it! Much appreciated! That it has been acknowledged and in the works is good enough for me.

Cool for offical response…

We’re currently working on a fix for this bug, but we don’t have an ETA yet. Thank you for your patience!

Finally!!!! A response!

Now I can be happy for today! LOL

I have had this happen as well! At first I just thought something was wrong with my keyboard because of the delayed response, but the straight line thing is exactly what is happening to me.

I pretty much run into this bug every time I play

:(

4 Months to acknowledge this bug. I guess it only affects people who attempt to interact with objects so not a big priority.

Same here, this bug is pretty annoying in Fractals (Running over edges trying to pick up hammer, not picking up crystals at maw, running over the edge with a torch, you know the drill.)

This was messing me up BIG TIME during the snow fractal yesterday. Every time i tried to pick up a torch to relight the fire, i would just run away like an idiot instead. Its even worse when you’re trying to fight the jade maw and you run uncontrollably instead of picking up the crystal that will save your life.

Please fix this. I don’t know how many times I’ve died to the Jade Maw because, instead of picking up a crystal, I run in a straight line without even the ability to dodge.

Hello,

It can be reproduce easily. Basically you need to be attacking (usually with the auto attack pushing 1), moving forward and then try to pick up an item on the ground at the same time. Your character will then autorun for no reason even if you dont move forward.

This is critical bug especially when you have to pick up an item to survive, like in fractal.

Please fix, how can this still be there so long after release ?

it is actually a critical problem in Fractal and caused multiple wipes of my parties. To be honest it put me off Fractal… I wish this bug will be fixed soon.

Me too. “Run bug!” has become a very common phrase shouted on my guild’s vent in frustration.

I’ve noticed this as well, but not just with items. I’ve done this while trying to run towards someone to revive them. Imagine how much of a jerk I look like when I actually keep running right past them…

Ya and sometimes rez will root you completely. And not even perform the rez. And you won’t be able to move again unless you use an ability like rush (keyboard/mouse movement or dodging won’t get you moving again).

I am so glad someone posted this bug, my whole guild has been struggling and getting kitten off about this big for a while now. It’s infuriating in the growl fractal to just run off the edge and die because of a bug.

In some situations, in dungeons, fraktals etc. game is unplayable with this bug…Seen it too many times.

Indeed, this is so annoying !

When you interact with any item that can be picked up (Torches, Jade Maw crystals, Ice Bow, ect.) while your character is moving, your character ignores the item and continues running in that direction for approximately 3 seconds while ignoring user input.

This can and has lead to characters running off cliffs or into lava. While hilarious, this can be very frustrating in clutch moments. Currently you have to come to a complete stop then interact with the item to avoid the glitch.

This glitch has been present for at least 3 months, and I am sure everyone is aware of it. This shouldn’t be a low priority fix, it is highly reproducible, and is highly annoying to the entire player base.

I know I’m not the only person that’s encountered this extremely frustrating bug. It happens when you are running and trying to pick up an item. You end up getting stuck running forward instead unable to do anything. Mostly this isn’t an issue, but on a fight like jade maw where the entire fight involves running to crystals to pick them up, it becomes an extremely glaring problem. Many unavoidable deaths occur as a result. Is there anything being done to fix this?

Yes, for the love of all that is holy, PLEASE fix this bug!

You’re right: you’re not the only one. There are already multiple threads about this issue.

Then it sounds like they really need to do something about this…

Same thing happens to me everytime, though today it happened in a boss fight so it couldn’t have been worse (death by lava.) This NEEDS to be fixed, very dangerous bug.

This bug is SO annoying, especially while in fractals. I haven’t got the foggiest idea how many times I ran to a crystal at Jade Maw seeing myself running to my death instead of picking up a crystal. Picking up the hammer on cliffside where a team mate dropped it and running off the platforms instead. Completely running pass a rusted torch in the frosty fractal instead of picking it up to light a fire. Can’t wait to see this fixed!

Why has this not been addressed yet? It just cost me a death in Sorrow’s Embrace by making me run off the catwalk into lava instead of picking up a Boulder.

Why, when you make Bundles/Environmental Objects NECESSARY to some dungeon fights, have you not fixed this yet?

I’d like to know any updates on this issue as well.

This bug was originally posted three months ago and we still don’t have a solution. It’s repeatable, well described and experience by a plenitude of users, and has a recorded history of impeding group and solo play with needless character deaths. I wish there was a way to make this a bigger priority to coders. Gameplay control is the single most important aspect to any MMO.

I encounter this when I am running and try to do ANYTHING else, not just pick something up. I get it in jumping puzzles when moving forward and jumping. I have even gotten it in combat when moving and attacking. It has only been happening in the last couple of months for me. It didn’t happen at all for the first few months in game.
