Stamblades getting stuck in place in combat (v3.3.5)

jssriot · February 2018

My stanblades are getting stuck in place--cannot move right, left, front or back, jump or dodge roll--once they enter combat, both in group and in solo. Doesn't happen consistantly but happens enough to effectively break my toons.

I've had this happen on two different stamblades (one Khajiit, one Bosmer) running completely different gear (VO/Hundings/Veli and NMG/Night Terror) and different skills slotted.

Happens with both keyboard (neither WASD or arrow keys work) and gamepad.

Tried turning off all add-ons and resetting controls to default. Did not resolve.

tried to get it to trigger on my magplars but could not. Appear specific to my stamblades.

Never encounters this problem prior to the v3.3.5 update. Sent in a bug report in-game but I never get responses to those so I'm posting this here.

ZOS, please fix this. My two main dps toons are effectively broken, including my main.

Look at how sad my Khajiit is, being stuck in place while her group runs off to fight the next fight without her.

I got this a lot tonight on my stamblade. Eventually I saw it was being triggered if I tried to cast endless hail or caltrops and the cast "misfired" (meaning I clicked the button but the skill did not cast). I figured out you can escape the perma-snare by recasting endless hail or caltrops.

i experienced this bug once on my stamblade tonight, thought i didnt do a lot of combat on that character. i basically got stuck hugging a lion for several seconds and neither of us could attack. Dont know how i broke out of it.

I had this issue while doing the new Fang Lair dungeon. The only solution I had was to teleport out and port back in. Hopefully ZOS can fix this problem soon, along with other issues that are currently going on.

Ackwalan · February 2018

I get this same bug. recasting caltrops will free you.

beetleklee · February 2018

I was getting the same issue with my StamDK. Also my friend's StamDK had the stuck bug. Casting endless hail seemed to fix it but still got killed in the new vet dungeons due to it, like the poison on Scale caller final boss. Don't have a ton of time to react. Must be a bug with a skill or gear. Disabling add-ons and lowering graphics didn't fix it.

beetleklee · February 2018

Also in my group I was the only stamina dps and the only one getting stuck. The tank, healer and magblade never experienced it.

WhisperLFE · February 2018

Just had this happen in Clockwork City on my stamblade. Logging out and back in fixed it. Will try re-casting Caltrops to see if that helps (if it happens again).

Cloudless · February 2018

Doesn't happen just for stamblades, my stamplar is getting stuck at least once every three casts of Endless Hail

it seems to happen only when wearing a custom outfit, things suddenly get much smoother if I swap to a "regular" costume. And by that I don't mean to say "not a big deal, guys, just use a costume", more something on the line of "ZOS please take a look at your outfit system 'cause it's making weird stuff happen".

Edit: this seems to be much more frequent when fighting large groups of mobs, e.g. dolmens or group dungeons.

raegun · February 2018

This happens on my mag dk worse then on my stamblade. for my mag dk the only fix was port to the entrance. I run duel wield on my front bar on her for the extra bonus but i don't have any skills from it I also run rearming trap. I tried swapping out of my outfit to no effect. but due to this bug and the weapon swap thing both my mains are out of commission.

MythikShadow · February 2018

I was in Imperial City last night on my Stam Warden and got stuck 3 times from mobs hitting me. One time I was fighting the boss and my group dragged boss to me and somehow I became unstuck. The other two times I logged out and used a Sigil of Retreat.

@ZOS_GinaBruno

I hope they are looking into this. Getting immobilized every minute makes it very hard to play.

This happened to me all night last night on my StamBlade. Every time I'd get stuck one of these actions would eventually un-stuck me: blocking, roll dodging, casting caltrops.

I witnesses this happening to my friend on his MagSorc (destro/restro) yesterday so I'm not sure this is exclusively a StamBlade issue or limited to bow user or caltrops.

Jake1576 · February 2018

If this is because of the new update that pc got already can we not get the new update for PS4 please I don't want all the problems people have been complaining about since the update whent out on pc

When I get rooted I can't dodge roll and block does nothing, the only thing that frees me is recasting Endless Hail or relogging. Even then, this bug caused many deaths for me in dungeons where I had to quickly react to a mechanic *cough* Zaan's poison statue spit *cough*.

LadyJohanna · February 2018

This happened to me on my CP500+ Stamblade (DW/Bow) on PC/NA in The Rift which is a low-population zone, in the evening with barely anyone around. I think I was fighting a small group of Bandit-type mobs. Second day of patch (yesterday).

Also happened to me with a lowbie DK tank (1H+S/Bow) on PC/EU in Banished Cells 1. Twice. During trash pulls. First day of patch, no out-of-date addons enabled.

Only "fix" was to "Travel to Player" during the dungeon, and dying/rezzing at Wayshrine while out in the zone.

Never encountered this bug before the recent patch.

Both characters have regular costumes that have been dyed. No outfits.

From what I've read, it happened in 2015 also and was connected to startup programs on PC or something that needed to be disabled? I know ESO is notorious for being vulnerable to Windows/OS interference so it may be related to something like this now also.

Loralai_907 · February 2018

This happened to me last night on my mDK in PvP. Ground floor of Sej, with the red horde running in, and I just got to stand there and throw some skills around. I died. It was a great time lol. But it only happened the one time so I guess it could have been worse lol

Darcwolf · February 2018

Ran into this issue tonight 10+ times in a dungeon, but dodge rolling fixed it for me.

Sharee · February 2018

This seems to be related to casting a ground-targeted ability. My mDK experiences it sometimes when casting eruption.

What fixes it for me is simply casting eruption again.

Gilvoth · February 2018

you are not alone, this is happening to me also.

only thing fixed it for me was to relogg.

SodanTok · February 2018

Happens randomly and recasting Endless Hail fixes it (or dying, which is very easy to do if you cant move...)

As far as I noticed, it is connected to this skill not any setup or class (havent happened to me with caltrops yet)

Gilvoth · February 2018

this is still happening

SaintSubwayy · February 2018

same here n my StamDK, however somehow i managed to heavyattack, while moving forward, then heavyattack while trying to move backwards seems to fix it also.

exiars10 · February 2018

I'M GETTING THIS whole day in group dungeons!!!! And other players got stuck, too! Log out and log in only helps.

Endless Hail bugged!
Weapon swap bugged!
Getting stuck!
...

victoriana-blue · February 2018

How are your caltrops/hail targeted? Ground target + cast, or instant cast?

My stamblade wears a traditional costume (no outfit or weapon dyes yet) and instant-casts, and I haven't had trouble with those abilities. Yet...

Ground target (gives a targeting circle i can move with my mouse) then click to cast at chosen location.

I'm doing this with eruption, but i suspect all abilities using the ground-targeting circle are affected.

I found out all i have to do the regain movement is to call up the target circle again, e.g. character becomes rooted(bugged) -> click eruption button (targeting circle appears) -> can move again (even without actually casting the eruption).

jcasini222ub17_ESO · February 2018

Stamplar here, I just need to recast caltrops to move again; getting the ground target doesn't seem to do it for me.

Also you can move a little bit when locked, at least I've found. Try to bash over and over again... You will inch along gradually lol.

czar · February 2018

This is happening to me all the time when fighting 2+ mobs. Never when I only use bow, though, which is where I keep caltrops. I have no ground abilities on my front bar (DW).

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

This seems to fix it.

AzureButterfly · February 2018

This is happening to me when I use Healing Springs or Endless Hail, maybe 5% of the time. Definitely tied to ground-targeted abilities.

jaye63 · February 2018

Happened on my Stamplar

Revi_Nightfire · July 2018

I am having this issue happen again, seems it's returned.
