Character Stuck In Rocks
Never mind… finally got her unstuck… but I think we still need some sort of Unstuck button or command.
can you port to the nearest waypoint?

Game performance is great with this rig.
porting to a waypoint has worked for me, but sometimes it’s not a good solution. For instance, I was doing a story mission, in a personal instance, when died. While I was down, one of my spells is a teleport, and I used it to try to get away from the boss. Unfortunately, it teleported me INTO a rock – as in “inside the rock.” So when I rallied, I was trapped in a rock with no way out. I was forced to teleport to the nearest waypoint, which was outside of the instance. Since I left the personal instance, it got reset and all the progress I had made (which was everything but turning in the item I looted from the boss), I had to redo the entire mission.
So even though teleporting to a waypoint is a solution, it’s far from an optimal solution.
I would like to see one or more of the following:
1) a command like /stuck to move a short distance if you get stuck.
2) a waypoint at the start of every personal instance (inside the instance) for these emergencies.
3) better collision testing for the various teleport spells so that they don’t put you inside of things.
I have played many MMOs where they give you the option to click an Unstuck command and it would move you a small distance out where you were just enough to let you be mobile again.
I also agree with Mathisk that using the way-points is ‘ok’ as a last resort but the least desirable solution, and it cost you dearly to do so since we do not really get to make all that much gold in this game.
