Guild Wars 2

Occasionally (approx 3-4 times per 2 hour playing session), my character will get stuck in the ground after using a teleport or rapid movement ability. By “stuck in the ground” I mean my character acts as if permanently immobilised – no movement keys work but i can use skills as normal. The only way to get out of it is to use an emote, e.g. /sit restores movement.

The worst offender skill-wise is Lightning Flash (Ele). I have not noted any link to world location/geometry – it seems to happen everywhere, but randomly. Other members of my guild have it happen to them — it appears to be common knowledge — that’s how I learned about the /sit trick. The only “smoking gun” as to the cause is that it seems to only happen after using a teleport or rapid movement skill.

This bug has existed before the feature patch.

As I understand it, bumping a thread is against the forum rules. Also, this same issue has been posted multiple times, and is rather well known now. I was not aware that lightning flash seems to do it more often. I personally rarely have it happen, and can only think of ~2 times of it happening (not to say that getting stuck in random rocks, etc hasn’t happened far too many times, but this specific issue I’ve rarely had occur, but I’ve primarily only used blink and shadowstep)
