Slow motion movement & target immune bugs> inability to cast ground-targeted abilities

daemondamian

Hi folks, since the patch I've been getting two problems:

1. my characters suddenly start moving in slow motion when walking or running, mounted or not.

Everything else in the environment seems to be operating at normal speed.

After a certain period of time it goes away. Have had no problems running the game before.

Turned shadows to low but made no difference - it seems different to just having low fps & even it was fps I don't understand why I'd have random periods of normal fps & then periods of low fps or why the fps would seem to only affect my characters movement.

2. in combat I'm often getting a 'target is immune' message despite the fact that I'm casting a spell that they should not be immune to & then after some delay or having pressed the key multiple times the skill does actually activate.

Skills that this has happened with for example are summon storm atronach & blazing spears. How could a target be immune to a skill & then several seconds/button presses later not be immune?

I've seen in chat other people having had the slow motion problem.

Anyone else experiencing either of these problems & or have found a solution to them?

Thanks

Also having the same problem, specifically on my main templar. I have submitted some bug reports but they don't seem to be interested in the many forum posts about it

I have the same issue, my character suddenly runs superslow. If I sprint, the stamina depletes, but my character runs slow. It is especially annoying at battlegrounds...

Thanks for your replies, after seeing the latest posts here I believe mine can be better defined as inability to cast ground-targeted abilities & also this has occurred on my main & an alt both using a lightning staff & restoration staff & I staff attack between casting every ability which is sometimes a half or medium attack not a full heavy or light attack.

The current solutions to this seem to be

swap weapon bars,
complete a heavy attack,
roll dodge,
tap sprint key twice
log out & back in again,

after which the ground-targeted ability will work/can be cast.

I've been running solo pve mostly but now I'm wary of doing grouping up for any dungeons especially as a healer as not being to cast ground-target abilities or getting interrupted & having to work around the problem could result in being unable to fulfill the role.

I can only imagine in trials (which I've never done) this problem makes things so much worse for healers.

I was unable to cast Illustrious Healing for a few seconds today. During a fight. I spammed my button but nothing happened. And it happened a lot friday on my Necro, with Boneyard skill.

Happens to me too when im DPS testing lately in my home, the slow down thing feels like a stun for a while and abilities like liquid lightning and wall of elements do not stick/cast i have to swap bars after repeated attempts to cast them ruining my parse. There was lag before preventing a clean parse but this is all new and worse by far! Any way our homes could get more resources for DPS testing? Some of us don't just decorate we use them for other things.

Yes, it's happening way too often. Slow motion all of a sudden, usually during some dragon fight: he hits you with something and you can't move properly and run slo-mo.
Casting ground abilities has been my pain from the very day Elsweyr came out. Liquid Flood is a disaster, it casts in one time out of three or four.

I can confirm that fully completing (ie no animation canceling) a heavy attack seems to prevent it from happening. Just slows my rotation down loads It doesn't do anything for the movement bug though. Really hope they fix this soon.

There is no such bug....
Pfft... being knocked down for no reason?
Never happens!
Falling off 2 meters then meeting insta-death while having
previously fall from over 20 meters and lived? nah, not possible!
Being slowed down because of the horrendous ping some users have?
Nah, never happens either!
It must be a new Feature : Interactive Airhead syndrome.
Our characters have a will of their own and suddenly space out
to an alternate reality, thus explaining why everything is in slow-motion...lol

Seriously though, experienced it too yet cannot put my finger on what causes it exactly.
