Determined Exploit?

[Hax_]

I'm new to WvW but I know what I'm doing. I see these invaders just standing there while they are invulnerable to my hits. I ran up to one of the guys who looked like he was afk, and he killed me. I'm laying next to him and was looking at his boons, and noticed he has "Determined" on for 4 days. Invulnerable for 4 days... How does this happen?

Definitely report it. If it's not an exploit, it should be fixed anyway.

I just checked with a guildie, if you are too close to the opponents base, they will be safe from attack. This allows people to come into their base without being attacked.

You might have attacked someone too close to their base, who was enjoying that safe buff, which is normal. It's the one place enemies can be safe from you.

I haven't done WvW much but am getting more interested now. I was in there the other day and while fighting a few people, I was suddenly completely unable to move. I had some statuses on me, which I cleared with my skills instantly, but even after I had done that multuiple times, I was still stuck in the same spot. I tried Mist Form too, but still couldn't move from the spot. Later someone else in my party had the same happen to them.

I've heard a lot of people talking about hacking and stuff recently, but I'm not very clued up about the various hacks or general bugs/exploits in WvW. Anyone heard anything about this?

Next time it happens try typing /dance. This is a game bug, if I'm not mistaken, not an exploit and /dance usually fixes it. I've had it happen at times when there's a lot of on screen animation like in Orr.

Haha, not sure my team will be very pleased about me doing that mid-fight but I will explain to them that I just had to dance, there was nothing left for me to do but dance.

[Vayne]

You only have to dance for 1 second and move, which stops you from dancing. Odds are no one will even notice. lol

Yeah Borlis pass was blockading Anvil Rock from going anywhere .

The movement thing is a common bug.. if you have any abilities that move your character (a charge.. or I use Blink on my Mesmer) you can fix it. I have dropped a few portals on people to fix the issue for them. Idk what causes it and it certainly is one of the more annoying issues.

Also as Vayne said if you're close enough to your own base you will get the "Determined" buff. Otherwise it is an exploit.

I'd gotten the no movement bug a few times but had no idea how to fix. Awesome sauce, thanks for the info guys. I actually logged out of WvW once and had to wait in a queue again because of it.
