Not sure what causes it but after 15 mins in PvP it just stopped

Roll dodge didn't work, reload UI, only way to fix was relog but I'm not doing that every 15 mins in PvP and end up in queues

    My experience has been that when things like this happen it's because the game thinks I'm still blocking or something. Blocking again usually fixes it.

    There's also been one or two instances where the keyboard went wonky and either thought one of the buttons was still being held down or a button stops working entirely. In that case, unplug the keyboard for a few seconds and then plug it back in. It's supremely annoying when that happens, but it doesn't happen very often.

    I've had this too, in PvE - I thought my keyboard had broken!

    Similar to turning in writs at rawl'kha (specific example, not the only time it happens) and I can't summon mount until I run on foot all the way back to the blacksmithing area so I can log out next to a writ board.

    Yeah, keys sometimes get stuck, but I believe more often the server 'skips a step' and doesn't release from a previous state of engagement.
    The problem with society these days is that no one drinks from the skulls of their enemies anymore.

    Happy to see I'm not the only person this happens to.

    I had to relog to fix it as well.

    :D

    Seriously, though, before we get into a PvP v PvE debate, I play both. I haven't experienced it in PvP thus far, but I did get it while duo'ing a dungeon with my hubby while farming leads. What I am saying is, this happens in both gameplay modes, it would seem. :)

    I had similar in a PvE main quest on a new character about a week ago. Seemed to come from an NPC archers snare, as a subsequent snare ending allowed me to move faster than a walk again although sprint didn't work until I left the quest instance.

    one of my characters can run in sneak a lot faster than out of sneak and she has just normal gear - nothing what could make her run like hell in sneak - happens quite often and pretty suddenly to her by no apparent reason. she is even faster than another character who has gear to ignore movement penalty in sneak.

    with her i go in sneak and as soon as "hidden" shows she speeds up like crazy. But once detected she is back to normal sneak speed. while running in sneak she stands up like the one with proper gear for this feature - really strange.

    Did you have on the Ring of the Wild Hunt at any point?

    This happened to me in a dungeon when I took off the ring. I was unable to sprint until dungeon was over.

    Not the same, but possible similar: I have been getting "stuck in combat" bugs more often lately in PvE content.

    This happens when ppl search on issues.

    Maybe all discussions should be locked automatically after a inactive for a specified period?
    save us all this necro angst...

    Game over, man

    Greetings,

    We have closed this topic as it was originally created in June 2020. In many cases, it's better to create a new thread on a topic that you want to discuss as opposed to bumping one that is rather old.

    Thank you for your understanding.
