Character constantly getting frozen in dungeons

beetleklee · February 2018

My character will get frozen in place in dungeons (only done vet Scalecaller and Fang Lair so far and both dungeons I have this bug). I cannot break free or dodge roll out of it, I can still attack but my character will not move with WASD. After a while my character can move again, but once I could not move and had to log out and log in again to fix it. Another friend had this bug but in my group, I was the only one with it.

Update: Doesn't seem dungeon specific. Seems like it's a bug with the bow back bar, and might be related to Caltrops or Endless Hail. Recasting either of those two (for me it was Endless Hail, some others say Caltrops only works) seems to free you from being rooted but it's a temp fix because I still got rooted constantly in combat.

Character is a StamDK. Disabling add-ons did not work. Recasting endless hail fixed it but this bug kept happening and caused preventable deaths in dungeons.

Meliora · February 2018

The same problem with me...I also play in stamDK.

Wildberryjack · February 2018

The Warden in our group last night had this happen. They had to log out and back in to fix it. Fang Lair, normal.

al-Khizr · February 2018

I was having the same happen in Clockwork City. Sometimes when attacking groups, particularly with ranged weapons, my character would be 'rooted to the ground' but able to fight, mount, switch bars, teleport, and even after /reloadui, the WASD movement would not function. Only a death or a log out/in would reset it. I'll do some more investigation to see if I can discern a pattern as to why (particular armor proc-ing? addons? something?) and then submit a report.

Is there any enemy that reflects there? I know of a similar bug in Darkshade Caverns 2 where casting an ability that slows on Grobul (netch boss) while he's up will instead slow you, in addition to the reflected attack. In case of DK the snare is applied by Ardent Flame:Warmth so if you cast Venom Claw or Noxious Breath on a reflecting enemy you'll get snared.

YamiKuruku · February 2018

same with me, i asked the support and i just got an answer that i should look up how to move a character (wasd etc the normal controls n stuff) and when i am" stuck" i should use the /stuck command lol
it's getting real annoying mid-combat and nothing helps, doesnt matter what i do.
Relogging, reloading, restarting.. nothing helps

would be nice to get a real solution to this problem?
Not a StamDK but a StamSorc

beetleklee · February 2018

Some people had the same issues with stamnb on the forums so I think a skill commonly used is being buggy. Endless hail? Haven't seen any mag dps, healers or tanks with the bug yet. Both me and my friend had the bug on our stamdks.

Had a friend with this bug last night in vDSA... stam sorc that uses all those generic stam skills

Only happened to her once throughout vDSA though.

I've done some more troubleshooting and it seems to involve the use of Endless Hail on multiple enemies. Occasionally the WASD 'bug' occurs and I'm rooted in place. However, activating Endless Hail again (or bringing up the bullseye circle) frees me and I'm able to move again. I'll try some more to feel that the pattern is there.

This did NOT happen before the patch.

Bloodystab · February 2018

Same thing at 1st i was scared that my keyboard died lol.

Happened for me in Scalecaller, wiped more then 10 times couse of this.

Edit: Stamblade btw

Yeah recasting Endless Hail "fixed" it but I still got the root bug when using it on single target bosses.

Some others are saying recasting Caltrops fixes theirs and not Endless Hail, so maybe it has to do with what skill is on a certain spot on your bow bar?

Happened to a friend of mine today in IC. Thought his keyboard was dying or he was experiencing some sort of weird lag. He eventually just logged off. All his other keys seemed to work except WASD. He was even able to roll dodge, just not move.

Yeah I thought my keyboard died at first too.

Yeah a lot of deaths were because of the root bug, like the first boss of Scalecaller (where you have to hie behind the ice), the last boss Zaan where I couldn't move out of the poison spits fast enough, and Thurvokun's bile AOE and the ghost wall. Bleh. Was super frustrating.

Amiliana · February 2018

AlcastHQ got this bug constantly when he was streaming Fang Lair Hard Mode run. Stamsorc, when using bow abilities I think. Effect was cancelled when using Caltrops.

Zer0oo · February 2018

I had something like this last patch with a stam sorc in vhof first boss after casting caltrops. I got "rooted" and only recasting fixed it for a short time. I always dced after sometime after it happend. Relog or restart of the game did not fix it. Only switching switch chars to continue helped.

Yeah I'm watching his stream now and saw him mention it, and he even got rooted out of combat when he was in Rawl'kha.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_Wrobel
can we get a fix for this? Makes stamina characters unplayable.

Alcast getting the root bug.

He also said in his stream that the bug was on the PTS since week 2.

beetleklee · February 2018

So the bar swap bug is getting fixed, can we get an update on this?

Amiliana · February 2018

I was just watching ElloaWendy's stream when she was affected by it, and it came to discussion. As of yet it seems there is a temporary fix:

In Settings - Gameplay - Combat - Quick Cast ground Abilities TURNED ON

Please let us know the outcome

Yes, it's work for me. Someone told me about this

NolaArch · February 2018

I’m also getting this bug; I came here just to make sure it wasn’t me. I’ll try the quick “fix” as much as I don’t like having that turned on and hope it helps!

raegun · February 2018

I experienced this bug last night in the new dungeons on my mag dk however I do run duel wield (for the extra 5 peice bonus) and rearming trap on her

Ley · February 2018

This was happening to me constantly last night while playing. It happened in dungeons and solo content, although it seemed to happen more frequently in dungeons. Every time my character would get stuck I'd have to either block, dodge roll, or cast a skill (caltrops usually worked) to get unstuck.

My friend who this happened to was playing a MagSorc destro/restro when he was having this issue so not sure it's strictly related to caltrops.

I've been rooted to the ground twice now in the middle of PvE combat, and after.

Teleporting to my house has worked for me, one of these times...I could move again there.

But this is v bad.

Argh, so many bugs in last update. >_<

P.S. Neither of my experiences were in a dungeon. Just out in the world.

Sweetpea704 · February 2018

I am a Stam DK and also use bow and dual wield. I have experienced this bug in several different dungeons.
I will try the caltrops to resolve it. But, please fix this.

beetleklee · February 2018

The devs confirmed this and several other bugs will be fixed in a patch on Monday.
