This has been in the game for god knows how long. could be that they fixed it for a short period of time. but i cant really remember it not happening at least a few times everytime i do pvp. it happens after knockdown cc's the most that you try to stand up and just find yourself, not having your weapons unsheathed
so true. or rangers. idk what kind of spaghetti code this is. but there are skills that (without applying debuffs) can slow down your movement/skills. ranger is the best example. when they keep spaming shotgun or other skills with lots of hits. thats why mystic and striker combos feel even longer. and which might also be the reason why this happens so often vs them. cause the server thinks you should be standing already. while in fact are still sitting on the ground for another 10 seconds. there are also skills that do the oposit and actually make you way faster. like Hasha's Aal's breath or sorcs mark of shadow. idk why this is a thing but it has never been changed
happens a lot when you get downsmashed and recc'd griffon boss does it to you as well. he does knockback with claws, KD's you and then downsmashes. when you get up you have weapon put away.
@GM Sayla: any update? The bug is still in the game. Happened again yesterday during the griffon boss fight. You can easily die because of that.
iirc, this bug has been constantly reported but never really fixed. When I first noticed it was like 3 years back with Mystic release. Still happens quite a bit to this day.
