It has nothing to do with learning to play - it just STOPS, your character just STOPS in the middle of whatever you are doing, even using the WASD keys I have noted this... My warrior will just up and stop and admire the friggen scenery and I am like POKE POKE at my keys and she jerks back to life only to go another 5ft and go "Oh lookie it's a bird!"

Thats what we are talking about and if you don't understand that then don't post critisms. Some are experiencing it and others aren't. This has nothing to do with smashing spacebar or learning to play... (or learning2play if you prefer)

It's a glitch that some of us are experiencing, no need to come in and be rude just cause you aren't.
And please please PLEASE tell me what WASD has to do with attacking!?!?! Just cause it doesn't it has to do with movement and movement only. I am sure the majority of us know how to strafe, its in teh friggen hand book.... I can auto follow but I can be attacking a monk and the next thing I know, monk hasn't moved but I am admiring its armor.... *rolls eyes*
If it never happened before and is happening now and wasn't an update its obviously a bug and not player deffecency(spelling not included). Many bugs occur to some while not others, so stop using every chance you see to build your own self confidence -_-

Playing dodgeball is incredibly hard when this happens, my character just comes to a standstill and won't move till I repress my movement keys >_<

/signed I am utterly annoyed at this -_-
however don't you guys think this should be in the official bug reports instead of this o_O?

Whats even more annoying about this than the full stop though, is that if you're out of range as a caster and hit a spell and your toon starts running, he/she will stop casting if you hit something, and you have to move back and forward several times in order to execute a skill/spell again.

Of course I understand what the OP is referring to. I wrote a guide on my guild forum for GvG about advanced bodyblocking, setting picks, and kiting in a way that your attackers get snagged or slowed on environment objects if they're just auto-following you.

Unless you're talking about randomly stopping when you didn't touch anything, it's definitely not a glitch and has always worked the same way.

I understand what you are talking about, but NOTHING MOVES OR CHANGES POSITION! We just up and stop!
I farmed ettins for months, now suddenly since factions as been out I will stop mid attack and just stand there getting beat on.... It has never happened before, we are referring to a glitch. I am all about bodyblocking and such, I know what you mean but this isn't what I am reffering to! And I honestly don't think it's what the OP is referring to. Does it make sense to get stuck when NOTHING has changed, nothing has effectively moved?!

In all the time I have played this has NEVER happened, thats 9mths 3accounts... never happened before! That is why I am saying its a glitch! My ranger, she doesn't move she just up and stops!
Heck and ya gotta love the all time famous glitch of I can't use barrage or any of my skills... Put the two together and you might as well be in observer mode. It's not lag, nothing else stops, just me. I don't think I have ever "tripped" on anything running the desert, but I find myself stopping all the time. It's not normal, believe me it's not!

What you are talking about is when I practiced dodgeball and got hung up on the fence trying to back up, it wasn't in my way going forward but it was when I was backing up - straight line in and out, but still got hung on that stupid fence (we changed halls cause of that fence).

The point is I know what you are talking about and this isn't the same. If it was I would have no complaints, but it's not.

WasAGuest · May 21, 2006, 07:34 PM // 19:34

heh, I wasn't sure what was causing this. Now I know, it's a bug... bloody beast of a bug that has caused a great deal of visits to the rez shrine too. hehe

samifly · May 21, 2006, 10:32 PM // 22:32

I've noticed this too, sometimes i'll just stop, and my skills will refuse to work.

Eviance · May 22, 2006, 02:17 AM // 02:17

Yeah I noted that I do NOT have this problem on my assassin, on my ranger YES, on my new pvp dodgeball mesmer, and my warrior, but thus far, not my necro except in Halls - it's just wierd.

SziP · May 22, 2006, 02:31 AM // 02:31

As you can see from my avatar, chasing my victims(especially monks) in Team Arena or Random Arena(for my Gladiator Title) , and stop after he runs around a tree right before i am about to shock/frenzy/evicerate/exe his ass, its pretty RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOING ANNOYING!!!! SO PLEASE FIX THIS BUG!.

Zui · May 22, 2006, 03:50 AM // 03:50

I think the problem most of you are having with your warriors is you're using auto-attack. See above post by SziP for a very common example... Auto-attack ftl.

Right on.

As for stopping when you've touched absolutly nothing, this has actualy happened to me twice. Fix this, but please don't touch the other aspect of this, that is certainly not a bug, or in any way broken.

Tarun · May 22, 2006, 01:21 PM // 13:21

It is very broken, especially when you get stuck on a freaking pebble or something tiny. You just stop and have to try to move forward several times. It's a bug and an annoyance.

So you admit it's broken and not broken at the same time... WOW... Firstly what SziP posted is NOT what I am talking about... He just fails -_- If you read my post you would know that is NOT what I am talking about. I am talking about the "stopping when you've touched absolutely nothing" bug. And I believe that is what the OP was talking about.

Read it doesn't happen on all my characters, its jut worse on my warrior which is probably because of natural stuff combined making it a lot harder to do ANYTHING. Get rid of the bug, not what SziP is talking about cause I think SziP missed the point >_<

Where are these tiny rocks , you guys are talking about, in the middle of the battle field?!?
I can't find any except in pve.
And still those kind of things are really rare for me in pve.

If the rocks you guys are talking about is on the edges of the arenas or places that have corners, jeez walk around them. If you could cut corners, you might as well run up cliffs too.

It's not like the the pvp areas are littered with tiny rocks that force you to take tedious routes through a maze.

Where are these places that you "stop when you touch absolutly nothing".

Post some screenshots so we can see where they are. Maybe then anet will notice them.

If the thing that you touch is absolutly nothing, then how do u expect anet to find these places?
Please post some screenshots of these places.

Eviance · May 23, 2006, 03:55 PM // 15:55

Sir.... I cannot for the life of me begin to discribe how funny your post is.... They are glitches that are similar to lag, but they don't seem to be just lag. They happen in "random" areas - either pvp or pve, it matters not... I have no issues going around cliffs for petes sake!

It's a bug in the system, kinda like going into House Zu Heltzer and not being able to move... IT IS A BUG! I could take multiple pics of me stopped but what would it change?
NOT everyone is having this issue - it happens in my guild hall, it happens out in the friggen sandy desert, it happens in Ascalon City, it happens in Keinang, it happens in outposts and missions and even mission towns - sometimes it happens just once and not very noticable, and other times I just feel useless and stuck on an open playing field.

IT IS RANDOM - I don't get stopped in the same place twice - GLITCH/BUG THINGY MABOB! -_-

And on occassion a reboot of GW fixes it for 30-45mins.

someone deleted his/her post >_>
It showed where they were stuck in stairs (not on, IN). As I stated after that post, that wasn't what I was talking about but it was the same general concept.
I think that the bug is the same general concept.

Theus · May 23, 2006, 04:28 PM // 16:28

I've had stranger things happen (Simply getting stuck on nothing at all,almost like falling off of the map in a sense.)

I have pictures of such an event occuring but alas, I'm currently in the middle of school.

i'll post them later,but for the most part, my character is slightly elevated off of the map, disallowing me from moving, and if I try to use my WASD keys, I simply begin to run on the spot, and rotate.

Its incredibly FRUSTRATING in PvP,Almost to the point that I have a new imprint of my fist in my desk.

rollntider · May 23, 2006, 05:53 PM // 17:53

i can get stuck on a merchants elbow in droks, the other day i hit my alt key to find the skill trainer clicked on the name and away my toon went to follow. only to stop on the merchants foot, elbow or imaginary friend. the character avoided walls, players, etc, but gotten stuck by a merchant or armor guy. I went around droks just trying this out, and sure enough i would get stuck on something i could not see, after avoiding many things prior. Its like it can only avoid x amount of things before getting stuck or just stopping. Thats not in PVP or PVE, its in a town, and i still get stuck on nothing.

Watch out for that invisible wall! Yah that one!!!!!

Void Assassin · May 24, 2006, 04:58 PM // 16:58

This topic is all over the place.

You got people talking about hitting invisible walls to people hitting elbows.

Some people say it's random:

Some people have specific incidences:

It needs to be more focused on one subject.

"The general concept of stopping"
Fix it Anet!

and make it so the henchies will walk around spirits if they are in the way.

and also make it if the henchies are banished (on the last mission) that they actually come back to you instead of get stuck and just die.

I was thinking about this just today.

Thru a crack between buildings I spy the pier
where the Homeless Canthan awaits his mirror.
And I strike the pier, X marks the spot,
to which I valiant and smoothly trot,
Down the lane, around the corner, down a ramp,
corner again, across the pier and to the tramp.
But think back on other times of stress,
when a minion, moa, or pretty dress
did stop my pursuit of a rabid foe
and force me to key while yelling, Go!
Ok, for stopping at dames,
I am the one to blame,
But why can I around a a city block go,
and not walk around a lump of snow,
When I stopped pursuit at the great big tree,
it really looked like I stopped to ___,
I know I went before leaving Yaks' Bend,
so kindly fix this for me then.
