Guild Wars 2

Its very irritating and happens often. When you try to pick up an item, namely a banner, sometimes it fails and then your character is left unable to use any skills until you manage to either A) die or take enough fall damage that your character becomes flattened on the ground.

This is extremely frustrating when operating a golem as you can’t even exit the golem nor flatten yourself with fall damage. In fights you just walk around with your team going OMG SPY.

Teleporting doesn’t fix it either, please fix this as I play a banner warrior and it happens every single day over and over.

Edit: this is to add that this bug was also in the past and supposedly ‘fixed’ in previous patch notes. In addition it seems to be caused when moving while picking up.

Please oh please someone fix this. Every single day I’m walking around and can’t even press 1, or F to stomp. I just sit there and hope someone kills me. Someone just needs to realize its broken and re-fix it again, the last patch did nothing for it.

oh man…now at least i know why it happend… only relogging helped before :/

yeah and relogging with queue to get in wvw = more pain. not to mention all sorts of pve boss fights and dungeons.

Here are the workarounds i’ve found so far=
1) logging out
2) repairing a gate/wall
3) taking enough fall damage to get flattened
4) getting launched
5) dying

If you are inside a golem you are just screwed. you have to purposefully kill your teams golem. The frustrating thing is that this was fixed once and all it probably takes is for one team member to read this and be like oh woops and let the right person know.

I’m going to start putting up interesting youtube videos soon at this rate of me going around in fights able to use nothing but my dodge and jump key. I even downed someone with retaliation once and had to stand there jumping on their body while they bandaged back up to full. They were probably thinking I was rubbing it in their face but I couldn’t even stomp them. Also epic videos of me abandoning my guildmates midfight to run to the nearest cliff 10 minutes away

Ah this happened to me during the event where you have to collect the grape vines in Queensdale. Glad to know what caused it, was really frustrating. Hope it gets fixed soo though.

if in a golem, couldn’t you wp then walk through a gate? or just wp then relogin?

Anything that causes you to login and requeue for the map isn’t a valid fix imo, as sometimes we have hour long queues to get back into the WVW map. Itd take less time to slowboat to the enemy legendary guards and go out in a failblaze of glory.

Infinite Banner Tonic is a workaround for this in PvE/WvW.

If you are in WvW you can double click a siege ram in your inventory and then store it back in by pressing ‘2’ to fix.

This is a really horrible bug. Happens all the time in Snowblind fractal if you try to pick up a torch just as you get teleported.
Or in Jade Maw if you try to pick up a crystal and get interrupted.
Only solution then is to get downed.

There are several ways to fix this.
1. Downed.
2. Repairing gate/wall.
3. Being struck by movement-displacing CC (Knockback, Pull, Launch).

No gates or walls to repair in fractals.
And in high level fractals, a movement-displacing CC might as well be downed.

Thank you though! If I run into this in WvW, I’ll know an easier way to get out of it!

Yep, still happening to me in PvE, primarily with large groups. The guardian #5 “infinite spin” with greatsword also returned at the same time as this issue and is still happening to me regularly. Patient for a fix.
