Guild Wars 2

Odd thing happened to me a few days back and again today. Downed an enemy, then couldn’t stomp him. Everything animates properly. The “Finish Them!” prompt appears, the stomp animation plays…but at the end, the player is still lying there in a downed state.

Both times I was able to finish the job using AoE and phantasm attacks. Has this happened to anyone? Is it a bug? This doesn’t always occur. Twice today I’ve killed people in WvW without a stomping problem…

It happens. I see it fairly regularly (I would say weekly). Sometimes you can beat them dead other times they go invulnerable as well. I used to think this was a hack but it mostly looks like a terrain bug to me now. If they die in just the right spot, they are immune to stomp and sometimes damage.

Its a server bug mostly.

The server doesn’t send the last movement packet because that client hadn’t moved. So if they die on the edge of a cliff they might be really down on the ground. Except your game client thinks they are down on top of the cliff, so you go to stomp and you are too far away from where they really are.
