Guild Wars 2

Occasionally my character will refuse to move after stopping and then trying to run again. For example, I stop to fight a monster and then I want to move out of aoe, but my character refuses to move. Instead they’ll enter some weird funny stance such as one leg forward and the other back (not their normal combat stance). It’s like they’re frozen in a running motion. They’ll move once i release the key then press it again. I play on an asura, so i’m not sure if it’s only an asura issue.

No, I’ve had this happen to me on both human and charr characters, exactly as you describe it.

I’ve noticed my character will also go back to running if i pan the camera while they’re stuck in that silly stance.

that’s so annoying. it’s somewhat harmless, but still very annoying. had the issue on my human mostly.

This happens with my Sylvari Engineer, too. It’s the most frequent when I have to follow npcs, oddly, making escorting more difficult.

also same problem, asura

I have this same problem. I thought it was my keyboard and tried a new one (maybe the key sticking and not recieving the ‘command’). It’s like he stops, wobbles, will do something and then will start to wobble again before he get’s going?

Also, Asura.

Same here with a Human. I call it doing my Heisman trophy pose or my bird dog point pose ;-). It’s annoying, but lucky I usually notice it before whatever’s chasing me eats me…..

Found a video, shows perfectly what the problem is.

If it helps, when I get it, any weapon moving action will get you going again, i,e SB 3, Sword errrr 3 etc
