New VMA Bug

Hutch679

So in the run I just completed in Veteran Maelstrom Arena I ran into a consistent bug on Xbox One console. Basically I dodge rolled and then became stuck in a major expedition buff where I could sprint like a bat out of hell for an infinite amount of time. But wait there is a serious downside.... while in this "Speedy Gonzales" like state I am unable to use any skills, potions, or ultimate. It lasts for about 10 seconds and wiped me in various stages about four or five times. Almost got me on the round 9 final boss with only 5% health left but thanks to the defensive sigil buff I already picked up I managed to live through this ridiculous bug. Not sure what is going on with it but I would for sure try to look into it and try to swat it with a newspaper.

ive had this as well. i cant dodge roll or use any abilities and I run around like an idiot with a speed buff until I eventually die. next life its back to normal. ive definitley had it happen on the last round and the third round.

Stuck in sprint. You need to use all your stamina up and then it'll go. Just keep sprinting.

Its a newish bug but not vma only. To fix this you need to tap your run key once, you will then return to normal and you can use your skills again.

Not new unfortunately, happened to me again last night in the maelstrom. I dropped down from the crystals, dodge rolled and bam, super awesome speedy twitch mode activated.

That freaking blows. It's actually the other way around for me. I get stuck in slow-mo, instead. Even dodge-rolling doesn't get me out of the state. Lasts maybe 15-30 seconds, I think, each time it happens, all the while, the enemies are still at normal speed pommeling me.

I've had that happen as well. Can't tell if it a mechanic or a bug.

Last night I encountered a bug on round 7 boss. The boss's health became immune at 2.7%. Even though I had four DoTs on him and was doing bloodthirst spam. I had to kite him around the room for ~30 seconds before I could damage him again.

Was he standing in the cleanse pool?

Not sure if it's a bug but you can't damage enemies if they are on the pool. I assumed it was a intended mechanic.

@boldscot I don't recall but I don't think so. He was in his scream phase, and I was in a bubble next to him. I had time to kill the bubble dude when the scream ended, go across the arena to kill a venom caller, and for another wave of bubble dudes to spawn. This entire time I was kiting him and peppering him with medium weave venom arrows, and wasn't getting damage numbers even. I thought my health was desynched and I was already dead or about to DC, then all of a sudden he started taking damage again.

Tried to capture it on the Xbox dvr to submit a bug report, but the clip wasn't long enough.

@boldscot of course, this is my first time going through vMA so I was screaming at the TV "why isn't he taking damage? Why isn't he taking damage?!?"

What round? Some rounds have snare mechanics, like round 3.
