Getting perma-stuck in holds

[Archived Post]

Happened last night in the cage and happened today in the public quest in Burnside. Dying didn't even fix it.

Wouldn't happen to be force would you?

I keep getting stuck , and I've seen several others who are having the same problem, all of whom were force like myself. I think it may have something to do with force eruption, as every time I'm stuck, i'm stuck in the "charge force eruption" stance/position.

It's pretty damn annoying, as I simply cannot pvp. Once I'm stuck it's permanent until the match is over and I exit the instance.

If you re-log then when you come back in, you're no longer stuck, but everyone in the match is neutral to you so you cannot attack or be attacked.

Worse yet, since you are no longer on red or blue team, you cant access either teams doors to exit the match, all you can do is wait there watching till its over.

Fix this please, as I would like to pvp.

Hey, yes I am force and it does seem to happen at this point, when charging a force eruption that is.

[Archived Post]

Yep I really believe this is an issue with eruption. Hopefully it gets resolved soon :(

[Archived Post]

Had it happen again during Fight Club. That was awesome. :p

[Archived Post]

Just happened to me in two straight PVP matches. (And what do you know, I'm also force!) Got stunned, tried to use skills to get them away from me...and the stun never went away.

The only way to fix it is to log out, then back in. But the second I get stunned again, it's back to looking like I'm trying to flex while constipated.

It is a force bug, there were quite a few of us that had this bug last week. Your only solution is to not use force eruption when held until they bring a fix in, bummer for you i know as it's your only defense mechanism in that situation.

[Archived Post]

I bug'd this in OB: it's not just force (either that or it's a related bug).

Any time you use a "charge" power, if you're mid charge for and whatever reason the mob/player who originally cast the hold dies. You're forever stuck in the hold instead of instantly being released from it. Only way to get free is to change instance from the map, or to relog.

[Archived Post]

I've just made a new character for now, which sucks, because my "main" is just going to have to wait around until this is fixed.

Don't know how relevant it is but yes I'm force as well. I keep getting stuck all the time, like every 15 mins of gameplay. Really is annoying when it happens at very important moments.

[Archived Post]

Same here. This happens in very frequently PVP (and once in PVE, but I suspect the disparity is down to the fact I almost never get held in PVE)

It goes like this;


Hold takes effect.
All powers are grayed out except for Force Eruption (the only force or PBAO I have)
I hit force eruption to get some breathing room
The hold wears off.
The hold animation stays on my character. I can change target and attack normally, but I cannot move.


/killme, /stuck and changing instance has no effect. Relogging is the only fix I've found.

I can replicate these results every time (And have actually tried to do so on purpose twice. Every other time I just replicate it by mistake)

(bugged in game too)

I was just going to make a thread about this. I have been trying to figure out the cause of this since closed beta and now I know it is due to being hold while charging a force power. It does not matter if it is eruption or blast. Both do the same thing.

The only way to fix it is to log in and log out. I am kinda said to I had a winning streak going in PvP.

Thanks - I was just about to take Force Blast, I'll keep an eye out for it.

(there's also when you're LOSING at PVP and then suddenly log out. That looks suspicious as all get out)

A fix for the issue with Force Eruption is in the pipeline.

[Archived Post]

I had this problem twice in the cage.
Luckily for me i had a good team and they protected me for a whole match :D.

[Archived Post]

This has happened to me twice. Though it just stops my movement. I can attack and stuff I just can't move. Relogging fixes it.

Yup, happens to me as well, also Force.
I've also seen issues in PVP where I get the "hold, click z" timer, but I'm not actually held. I can use all my abilities and move freely.

I wonder if maybe there's a timing issue in there, or if the whole force powerset vs other holds is messed up.:confused:

[Archived Post]

Happens to me too and I am also force - it is nice to know what is causing it though as I have had it happen to me in the middle of missions which I have had to abandon - for example the Sinister mission with Witchcraft at the exit door causing me to fail because I could not speak to witchcraft as I was too far away from her.

[Archived Post]

I've seen this happen on my Force character, like everyone else. I've also seen it on my Might character. Very annoying.

I too have found that it occurs while charging any of the force powers. I added to someone elses support ticket through the in-game ticket system earlier today, as it requested more information along the lines of which PVE characters were causing it, which hold powers were causing and pretty much side lined it being a PVP problem.

It's not any one hold power or any one character, it's any hold used on force characters. It happens to me about once a day.

A fix for the issue with Force Eruption is in the pipeline.

What about the other force powers with charge bars?

[Archived Post]

BUMP AND /SIGNED

I am Force as well, most annoying bug ever, please devs read this post and fix asap, is pretty game breaking. Cant count the number of times i have had to /quit and relog during a crucial fight...

thank you so much, it's quite annoying :)

[Archived Post]

It's so so so bad, getting stuck all the time, twice in 5 mins so far this morning... while doing PQs.

[Archived Post]

This has happened to me and it's really frustrating. I had to relog right in the middle of some PVP matches and then got to sit in the middle of the cage unable to target either team as I had been kicked.

[Archived Post]

There've been 2 patches since the dev post in this thread and the issue is currently worse than ever for me, an hour of playing and I've had to relog 6 or 7 times already.

[Archived Post]

I have created another post because I didn't find this one. Devs, you can close my thread.

And yes, I still have this anoying problem... Stuck stuck stuck... And always on a good fight "momento". Hope the fix is released soon :)

Regards!

[Archived Post]

Bumping it up for you guys so hopefully you get it done in the next patch or ASAP.

[Archived Post]

I was looking for this. I have a force toon with the same issues. At least I know the 'why' now.

[Archived Post]

Has anyone gotten a response from a ticket about this yet?

I have this problem with a shadow toon.

[Archived Post]

This bug has been around for this long?

Jeez what's taking all this time O.o I'm not usually one to complain, but when there is a game breaking bug (especially since my nemesis' henchmen have a lot of holds) like this, that still isn't fixed a full week after it's been acknowledged, that's an issue. It's even worse since it can happen if you started charging force eruption prior to the hold hitting you.

It's very disheartening to be unable to play due to a game breaking bug like this :/

P.S
The energy form shield burst thing for force power is also bugged at the moment. The visual effect doesn't occur. The boost to your pff also doesn't seem to occur though the cost reduction on force cascade and the damage increase advantage still work.

[Archived Post]

cmon dev's, fix this issue...

[Archived Post]

This is a game breaking problem, it needs to be fixed soon please. I cannot play the game due to this bug and I am not exaggerating. Force + enemy stun = lock that not even /kill me or /stuck will fix.

[Archived Post]

You can get stuck like that in a particular pose when not hit by a hold and when not using force powers. I filed a bug on this issue against Mindful Reinforcement - but it looks like it could be a more general issue to do with the status of the character model and "rooting" power use or effect animations.

Key symptoms: Unable to move, but powers work. Character does not animate, whatever happens. Using /stuck moves you very slightly but doesn't restore freedom of movement. Using /killme moves you to a respawn point but doesn't restore freedom of movement. Zoning (sometimes possible using the map's "change instance" button, or because a pvp match is ending) does put things back to normal. Logging out and back in puts things back to normal.

[Archived Post]

Yeah, this happens to me TOO often when I'm using Gigabolt.

Devs please PLEASE make this a priority because having to logout and back in again every 5-10 minutes is, to say the least, extremely frustrating.

I normally don't post much, but as you can see, this issue got me crawling out from under my rock...

[Archived Post]

bumped and signed. It's good to know finally whats causing it. I had to log from the Dr.Destroyer mission only to return to, "you are not a part of a team, leaving area in .."
Luckily, they invited me back before it kicked me, but still frustrating as hell.

Please fix it.
