(PC) PLEASE FIX Perma Root?

blabafat · June 2015

Not sure if this bug is on console. I highly doubt it is.

On PC, you can sometimes be perma rooted after using a gap closer.
The only way 2 ways, to my understanding, to get out of the perma root:
Use a gap closer on an enemy
Have an enemy use a cc on you that causes you to move out of place(fear for example)

So yesterday on my DC toon my group took a resource. I charged into the last npc, killed it, and became rooted in place. So since we took this resource, I didn't have any enemies nearby. I didn't want to /stuck because the resource my group was at was across the map. I didn't want to run that far of course. So I waited for a long time until enemies came to the resource.

This has been around for many weeks/months. Not sure why it's still around

If there is no one around to charge to, you can go to the crown store, select a mount to preview and then rotate the mount, this will get you unstuck. Hopefully it gets fixed soon though.

thanks for the info, I need to try this. I used to get the charge bug multiple times a night, mostly due to charging someone who died while I was actually on the way to them.

THis has been an issue for a couple of month now. Too bad there isn't an exploit associated w/ this root that gave you too much xp or it would have been hotfixed within an hour of me reporting it the 1st time.

Reading this thread title, accidentally thought this was going to be about my new Dragonknight build that has been running around lately..
Lock people in place over and over with Frost Reach then lash the hell out of them.

Can agree getting rooted on gap closers is a pain in the ass though. This definitely needs to be fixed.

Thank you for this.
Less than ideal, but better solution than ZOS will likely provide for several weeks at best.

Yea I had this issue a few times while chasing a sorc...

I think it has to do with not being connected to the ground?

Shhh. We don't need more people doing this or it'll lose it's effectiveness

Don't need to mount up. Just rotate your toon preview around. This bug also fixes the stuck in combat bug.

It's been around since 1.6 released. It happens to me at least once an hour and his highly irritating.

Supposedly it was fixed in this easy to miss note:

From the PTS 2.1.0 Patch notes:

Using charge abilities no longer causes you to drop through the terrain or fixtures.

Yeah, this will fix it. It's hilarious how ghetto some of the solutions that we, as players, have to come up with hahaha

Ya the spin character around in crown store works for whatever reason. But you're right. Still really dumb and longggg overdue.

Not to mention the fact that its a death sentence to pull up the crown store and try to spin while you're being attacked...

That's the problem with Perma Roots every time you go to Mount up she has to go to work

Its a bad workaround though, even though its effective

Those precious couple of seconds needed to do it, usually get you killed anyway =/

its either stand there and die, or overlay with the crown store window and die.
