Has anyone else experienced this? Some combination of skills causes you to become permanently stuck in place unable to move/turn or do anything unless you log out.

Twice in the last hour fighting some blues on Haderus, and several times before this.

    a gap closer on an enemy can get you out of it

    another work around is using the preview mount in the crown store and turning your character there


    they really need to fix these things, the QA needs to be better

    No it's not the charging stuck in animation thing. It's a different thing.

    I'll try that next time thanks.

    It always happens in battle and with more frequency. Makes me think people have figured out how it works and are exploiting it...

    Happened a third time tonight!!

    The charge worked but it was against a DK so it took forever for him to back up enough.

    There is a new similar bug. Cannot even charge out of it.
    I'm guessing it's from a templar stun or ability.
    Had to go to guest campaign to get out.

    Also unrelated, loving the light speed bug from the templar/npc bubbles.

    I've been having this issue almost non-stop fighting a few particular people, and it's consistent. I just get slammed and locked down, and I'm unable to do anything. Only happens when fighting the same Templars over and over.

    The stuck in ground charge bug changed since last patch. Previously, you could charge out of it if an enemy is nearby, but now you can't even do that. I think it has something to do with what they did that prevented sorcs from teleporting into keeps, but that's just a guess.

    There are certain combos of skills that will get you into perma roots. And ofcourse people abuse it as ***. I dont know though what skills.

    But I guess its smth like this. If you get Feared+Talons at same time or Fear+Crystal frag in the face at the same time the Server doesnt know what to do and you are perma rooted.

    I think its just if you get hit by severall CC abilites at the same time the server doenst know what to do anymore.

    I've turned on Shadowplay in the hopes of figuring out what skill combos are causing it.

    Although thanks to ZoS brilliant decision of not allowing us to see what skills are hitting us in the combat log it will make it a lot tougher.

    The new perma-CC is based on chaining CC with templar toppling charge. I have not yet found out exactly which combination is at fault, but toppling charge is always part of it. This is in regard to being perma-CCd victim, not in any kind related to stuck by charging.

    I have found that it wears off after approximately 5-10 seconds but sometimes results in a minute of being unable to crouch, attack, use skill, mount, or jump. This secondary bugging can be shortened by completely draining your stamina bar once, which happens quite fast since you actually drain it by just moving around (the only player action possible after getting out of the initial perma-CC). This secondary effect is definitely related to lag as well, as this only happens in lagged out scenarios.

    The perpetrators are always the same handful of people, so it can't be an easy to find exploit or involves more malicious actions, but it starts to spread. I have now 3 Templars on Azura EU marked for being part of this. Will continue to report those that I can reliably identify.

    I can confirm that this works. I just got stuck in place after using a crit charge on a NB -> perma rooted. Trying to charge the NB again no longer works(it used to clear the root). Opening crown store, previewing a mount, and rotating the previewed mount cleared the root.

    Having had this permaroot solo against a NB, and again against a Sorc it is not just related to Templar charge. In fact I don't recall a Templar charge ever being the cause. But I do think it is cause by a combination of CC types that TC may be a part of.

    i think it has to do with being gap closed/dissoriented/soft cced (weird silence and snares and immobilizes) and hard cc'd.

    I've done this to people frequently when i was slotting volcanic rune with daedric mines and streaking. Now that i droped rune and went BoL i can't remember it happenening.

    Weird. For me it happens only with toppling charge. Never experienced it without it.

    I think they one the OP is talking about never wears off. it isn't caused by other players either, but by your own button mashing in combination with other things. It is like being stuck in terrain but your model looks like it is standing on the surface normally.

    Sounds like the max exploit build. Reported
