bug - forced to roleplay

Salvas_Aren · June 2019

Lately I experienced - and it's not only me, others confirmed it - that after a fight ends a player is stuck in what I call a roleplay bug.

This means you are forced to walk. No matter whether your toggle is on walk or run, you walk. No matter whether you sprint, use rapids, padomaic sprint or any other effect or bliss, you walk.

This is extremely annoying and this annoyance stacks with all the good new bugs you gave us. It also adds difficulty to raising a new char.

Which fight? Under what circumstances?

Salvas_Aren · June 2019

I experienced it while levelling my new necro via randoms.

First I thought it only happens when the boss dies while I suffer a knockback or anything similar, but quickly I found that there are no common circumstances. It happens when I fly through the air in a fight, but also when I get basically no damage. Dodge rolls and bar swap do not affect it.

Sometimes I am lucky and when I get aggro, I loose the bug either completely or for that fight only. However, since I'm not exclusively lucky, I might get attacked by a mob group while fleeing or kiting in walking speed.

Feels great, esp when it happens toghether with other new bugs. Ppl in my raids told me they got this bug too.

You call walking "roleplay" ...

Since most ppl run through ... everything, instead of admiring each and every view.

Well, blame the naming on me.

Yes I got this bug already twice in MoS, always after fights. The only way to fix this was a relog.

I was thinking it had to do with some sort of debuff when fighting! It happens to me EVERY fight & my husband too. He hates it lol - he hollers at his character, "Do you have lead in your *** or something??? GET MOVING!!!" It seriously never occurred to me that it could be a bug in the game.

Not sure I would consider it "roleplay" although it IS strange to just mosey on away from a fight. As was mentioned above, quickly getting the heck out of there before (belated) help arrives is really the best option.

Pretty sure a roll dodge fixes it, or at least it does for me

That happened to me so many times on my mag Necro! I thought I was going insane. I’ve posted about it as well

Of the issues I've seen since this expansion went live, that is fortunately not one of them, although I've heard others mention it.

this bug has been in the game for quite some time. or there might be various bugs with essentially the same effect. usually when i get it something used a skill that reduces movement speed. and then it gets stuck. sometimes it's like getting the reduced movement speed and then dying and when I come back it's still there, usually have to die again to get rid of it.

+1 yup yup there's some fun new bugs and sadly old ones in new zone esp. *facepalm* @ ZoS.
