When BWE3 started, we’re experiencing the bug again where a player gets rooted in place when CC removes a stack of stability. There’s no stun/daze/etc and no immob when this occurs. Cannot move again until hands are taken off the movement buttons. I thought it was just some issues with Scrapper during beta but tonight in our WvW rally we still experienced it and my guild members reported that they also are having that issue.
Has happened to me on my necro. The times I end up not on commanders tag is usually cuz of this happening. This isn’t really new tho….as I’ve had this happen for awhile now. I’ve just gotten used to just releasing all buttons and starting movement over….it’s an annoying slight delay but I’ll take it over disconnecting and such.
At 3:40 in this video you can see the bug occur.

I was playing Scrapper with Elixirs. I used Elixir X and got Tornado form. Suddenly I was stuck. There’s no immob or daze. I have stab. I had to stop pressing the forward button in order to become unstuck.
This bug seems to have been re-introduced for the beta weekend because it is occurring on my main guardian too now when before the beta it wasn’t happening.
I’ve had this happening for years now, on multiple (likely all, I never really kept track) characters. I think it’s been since release or not too long after. I had just given up on it, as one of the random bugs that will never be fixed.
It doesn’t happen too terribly often, but enough to be rather annoying. Especially knowing that it could happen at any time in wvw/pvp, which can easily lead to getting killed.
It’s been more common again lately though. Seen it happen with dodges, teleports, and crazily enough, even while already auto-running… Yes, you just randomly stop moving on your screen. Not sure if this is the same issue where you are moving on other people’s screens but not your own, then will rubberband when you change direction or emote.
And now seeing it badly in pve as well >.>
multiple times in fractal runs, dodging attacks and then rooted. Only way to get unstuck was to use a movement skill (RTL in my case that time, although switching to lightning flash should have worked as well. The old solution of /dance had no effect. Tried everything else since I knew a movement skill would fix it)
