Curse

I wa guesting with my friend and his guild not even 1 hour ago. We were just having fun with a 2 Monk, 1 Crippleshot runner, 1 orders necro, and 4 warriors. Well we had wipped the enemy probably twice in the first 12 minutes. We then experenced the unfortunate experence of having 1 monk get stuck at the flag stand. Well we did fine fighting near him gaining kills. They decided to push forward knowing he was stuck and we started to adjust when our other monk got stuck. If that was not bad enough when our runner, who ran out the back way went to cap he too became stuck.

Does anyone know what can cause you becoming stuck, and if Anet has said anything about wanting to fix it?

By the way, the guilds I were playing with were very bad. I had to help all the warriors with their builds, but everyone else was good, I was the necro. We were without TS or Vent because of the team's internet connections.

weird one of our mesmers in gvg got stuck for no reasons, on the same day in RA i saw a Sin get stuck too.

Recently, I've seen Thumpers get stuck in their pets a few times. Funny stuff. Seems like people are getting stuck all over the place.

ok we were fighting a rank80 guild we were atm rank 49... i see the enemies are casting mass migrains and has even casted them on me... so as a way to waste one migrain on me.. being the rit it doesn't really affect me.. i move up so they could cast it... this is in teh impearal hall btw we were in front of the enemy guild lord

so i move up and the warrior quickly comes on me and does shock... i get knocked down but notice that i can't move... i call for my group to stop healing me as i die.. the warrior stops attacking me after realizing something is wrong.. but luckily i got saved after the Archer NPC kills with his bow attack.. and it was fixed we won and got our rank to 36... ive been seeing this getting stuck glitch much more often in pve and gvg

This is indeed a recurrent problem that is starting to be a major annoyance. I have also experienced being knocked down on a ramp and getting stuck. I am now going to always carry a vampiric weapon in GvG to make sure I can kill myself if it happens.

Indeed, I now carry a vamp on every character I take into a GvG just incase. I am also even considering getting a 55hp armor/focus set so I will die faster...

Our mesmer get stuck right in front of the enemy's guild lord..funny stuff, yet irritating..

JamSan · Jun 03, 2006, 02:04 PM // 14:04

On the isle of jade, on both bridges are spots you can become stuck on. Going to have to tell my guild team to start bringing a vamp weapon, good idea

Guillaume De Sonoma · Jun 03, 2006, 06:32 PM // 18:32

We thought that it had to deal with a Ranger/Meser with spike trap. One of the monks noticed that and so did the runner. Someone with the weeping isle would have to test that.

It happens to every type of character. It seems to be most prevelant on the Isle of Weeping Stone and the Jade Isle though. Just keep a vamp in your inventory like others have said and remember to take your armor off when you get stuck, in case someone is already attacking you.

I love how anet has contests revolving around a game with thousands of dollars in cash and yet they dont even attempt to fix glitches like this. This is probably the most annoying glitch ever.. every team we play we mercy them and we usually still end up with 200+ rank nubshit teams who wont do it when our runner gets stuck or something

You don't seem to have much luck with runners...

And I'm sure Anet is looking at it, and I'm also sure if it was a simple solution they would have fixed it long before now.

Isle of Weeping stone seems really bugged. We got a lot of people stuck in the stairs at the flagstand there, and opposing team had the same.

Slooty Booty · Jun 05, 2006, 08:13 PM // 20:13

this happened to me a couple days ago on Warrior's Isle, directly beyond the stairs while pushing to the boat. I now carry a Victo's Blade with me. Somewhat surprised there are still a few kinks in even the most popular hall.

Parkerbsb · Jun 06, 2006, 01:09 PM // 13:09

It never used to be as bad as it is now tho Slooty - I would guess that either factions or the bugged gate fix had some effect on terrain.

...Actually if they fixed the pathing to check more frequently it would make sense that the ground would be more sensitive to stuck spots than it was before

Did we play you guys? (We're section one and we have Weeping as our GH)

I killed your flagger when he was, but couldn't return the flag, because it got stuck way under the stairs.

My team has experienced this issue on the Jade and Weeping maps. Also have consistant issures with the Meditation Isle gates. As stated, carrying a vamp is the best solution.

Guillaume De Sonoma · Jun 15, 2006, 08:29 AM // 08:29

Still it how long does it take for someone to die with a vamp weapon? You lose 2 health a second and with around 480 health that would be 240 seconds, or 4 minutes. That could cripple many teams (rspike for example) and take out all real offensive capabilities of these teams. Balanced with 1 monk is incredibly hard and having a character without any party wide skills become stuck is going to alter the match. Any team that wants to push forward away from a stuck character will do so and it is bad because your only option is fight at your base or go for a gank with little healing (for your gankers or guild lord).

dgb · Jun 15, 2006, 09:26 AM // 09:26

Actually a better weapon to carry is a double vamp. An inherent damage mod with -1 health + a standard vamp mod.
