The mistery of being *STUCK*

@ZOS , I really wonder why should I pay everytime I got stuck because of a game glitch. Can you answer this please? It is the only game with a priced stuck command. You made some mistakes in your game code and we have to pay. Why again?

    What, exactly, are you doing where you get into a game glitch and have to use /stuck?

    I can probably count on one hand the number of times I have used it in the last 18 months.

    If you find yourself in this position a lot, find a friend or join a good sized guild. Outside of Cyrodiil, you can just jump to someone else and avoid the /stuck completely.

    I also have experienced this only maybe once, twice in my whole VR2 career. The first time it was when I got hit by a NPC`s skill, something like wrecking blow of Dragon Knights and I got stuck between a wall. I could see trough, but I could not pass it, the NPCs saw me, attacked me, but could not hit me trough the wall :smiley: So I googled it and found the /stuck command :smiley:

    Second time I don`t remember where it was.... :)

    Worse is when you get stuck while stuck in combat. So you cant /stuck or travel.

    Getting stuck in PvP inside some rubble or wall is the most painful. You cant travel in PvP, while you're pretty much perma-stuck in combat. Best bet is trying to get a friend to "pull" enemy players to your location and hopefully they will kill you with non single target.

    Was stuck below Gate of Mnem for 30 minutes once. Like who looks for enemies below Gate of Mnem lol? So tried pretty much everything, including crashing client, while sitting in queue for quest campaign. Eventually a full enemy raid spotted me desperately jumping and spamming animations for attention. Was so happy. They finally managed to kill me with Caltrops and GT AoE, took forever, only skills that seemed to do any dmg down there(while I was spamming Spell Symmetry).

    Why should I recall to a guildie? And why should be important how many times you get stuck? I'm talking about a command that is supposed to be caused by a game glitch (if it was smooth you would NEVER get stuck) and you have to pay for it! If it once every 2 days, 2 hours, 2 years, it's always wrong.

    There is no way for the game to know that you are actually stuck. People who are not stuck use it, too.

    Use the guild "travel to" and just forget about /stuck.

    People used to abuse /stuck to get free rides to the nearest wayshrine, so ZOS implemented a small fee, the same one you would pay if you manually recalled to a wayshrine.

    If you really want to, you can using the following teleport commands for free:
    /jumptoleader
    /jumptogroupmember
    /jumptoguildmember
    /jumptofriend

    It's been stated, but best way to handle it (for free) is to join your campaign, use the wayshrine to get back. It's important to note, don't log off in Cyrodiil after you jump to your campaign through the campaign tab. If Cyrodiil is poplocked on your next login, you'll still be stuck. I was routinely getting stuck in Mournhold jumping around, waiting for a PUG. There were some rocks near the wayshrine that you could get trapped in.

    I haven't read any of the posts above, but if we didn't have to pay for /stuck command, it'd be abused as it was in the last year. Back then, we had /stuck for free and without the delay that there is now. That has lead people to take advantage of it and use the command whenever they felt like porting.

    It was a free teleport. And don't tell me you don't have a couple of gold on you? It costs 147 gold on V16, if you just teleported without a wayshrine and don't wanna pay 800+ gold just wait it out.
    But you can always teleport to a friend or a guildmate for free, if you get stuck in PvP, just re-enter your campaign.

    It's a shame that we have to deal with the symptoms, rather than ZOS dealing with the cause.

    It was free at launch but it was abused quite a bit by bots and others. I think @Runaan is correct. It would be abused again if the fee was recalled.

    I can probably count on one hand the number of times I have used it in the last 18 months.

    Lucky you. Recently I started getting stuck under ground practically 1 out of 5 wayshrine travels. The annoying part is getting buried because of a new bug (talk about fixing what's not broken), not the cost of /stuck or need to find a guildie that's online and in an accessible zone.

    The worst case is when you're fighting mobs in IC, then an enemy nb approaches and attacks you with wrecking blow and you're getting stuck in texture. Cannot even use /stuck in combat, cannot kill the mobs and cannot even suicide.

    In other games (and it's very simple) you do not get trasported to nearest waypoint, you just get moved 1 or 2 meters in a free zone. Is that hard to accomplish? That said, I've been here since beta and the stuck command never worked until they put this one, so don't invent stories to defend your favourite game. I love Eso, but if something does not work I say it. In Italy we say: "Lies have short legs."

    No one is defending ZOS. No one is lying either. There was a bug that prevented /stuck from working in Cyrodil but that was fixed in patch 1.0.8 or so. The /stuck command worked fine in most other cases and it was abused. That is why they implemented the fee. Those are the facts. I am sorry if you do not remember when they did it but other people, such as myself, have been here since beta too and do remember it. No one is lying or defending ZOS. We are just answering your original post that was in the form of a question.
    @ZOS , I really wonder why should I pay everytime I got stuck because of a game glitch. Can you answer this please? It is the only game with a priced stuck command. You made some mistakes in your game code and we have to pay. Why again?


    Looks like you are asking why we have to pay.
    Answer: Because people abused it when it was free.

    The reason the /stuck command has a cost associated with it is that the system can't tell whether you are really stuck or not so it works anywhere at any time, that means if there was no cost involved then people would be using it constantly as a quick travel method that they shouldn't have.
