Bug: Character falls inside/below stairs

Does this belong in the Screenshot section, and Btw for all of our sakes please spell a Lil bit better.

Old bug. Happenes all the time.

I noticed that I made typo after I entered post but I can't edit thread titles.

My ecto once felt down at UW stairs, no way to get it. Hope they will fix this "trapped" dors

OMG please at least try a little but, effort is nice. but when you make typos after someone else who got commented on about it, is almost sad.

happens all the time, bring a vamp weapon with you always

Kinda sad that "happens all the time" is the response to this, but its true

Funniest point is when it happened in Germany at the World Champoinships!

But Anet was proud of their game then.

If you are going to spend your time being critical of how other people type and spell, then how about you read over your own posts for grammatical and typological mistakes?

As for the topic at hand; Yes, this is a design flaw that has plagued GW for far too long.

This usually happens to me when I'm lagging, though I just rubberband back to where I was when I started lagging. Its not really a gameplay problem as much as it is a lag problem.

It definitely is an old bug and it definitely happens all the time. It has nothing to do with lag.

It is also just as possible to get stuck in stairs or on top of a dead pet or fall directly into flat ground or fall under a bridge or other ways due to similar bugs (or maybe they are all one bug, all I know is they are all very old bugged ways to get stuck and they all need to be fixed).

It usually happens to me when there is an update coming, and when I am outside of an outpost at the time. (Course, could just be glitchy but from my experience its happened each time there was an update I didnt get on time)

A huge problem with this, in my opinion, is that myself and a number of others I've asked never actually get around to reporting the terrain glitches. When you're in the game, you want to get into the action and play, and not worry about filing a bug report, but if you don't, then it's rather hard to fix a problem they may not even know exists. (They know that terrain glitches exist, of course, but where exactly they're occurring is probably important.)

I've taken numerous screenshots that I eventually just deleted when that file was getting too big, and with them, potentially useful information.

This has happened to me as wel like getting stuck in the stairs where the bridge is and haveing other trying to kill you.

has happened a lot to my husband, but never to me....he has gotten caught on the bridge outside the jade luxon city (over the spikey coral) and on stairs in the arborstone area as well......its frustrating to say the least, but I am glad it wasnt me (knocks on all the wood in site).

I once saw bug what made stair to be too up. When people goed to that stair or left it in mission they warped top to it of course. However I didn't took screenshot from it.

It's pretty common for people to get stuck. You may have wondered why most active GvG players will always make sure to bring a vamp - this is it.

Don't kid yourself about Anet not knowing about this either; this bug's been around for most of GW's lifetime. For whatever reason, it apparently doesn't rank high enough on the importance list for anything to be done about it...

My Assasin's inventory hold Shiro's Blades. Still I just waited that match end because I focused to tell this bug. Also I know this bug is old but it is not excuse to Anet not to fix it with high priority. Not to mention it happened me first time and before I only saw this bug happened many times to Construct in one mission.

This has happened to me at the beginning staircase at Vizunah Square Local. I started casting from there; luckily the cinematic got me out of there.

Wats ur prob wit spel1ing?!?1? ZOMG!

Thankfully, I've only ever seen this bug once in Factions specific areas (in the Warden Room of Urgoz's Warren), but it seems to happen very often in both UW and SF. In Sorrow's, the corridor from the first big chamber (where Oro waits) down to the Basilica and the forest seems to be the most common place for me to glitch. I've 'sunk' a bit into the floor more times than I care to mention, but it's just as common when nothing is visibly wrong - my character just freezes. I can still jump and turn in a circle, but not move.

UW though is very much more annoying. For one thing, in a two man team, there's no rebirth to teleport you to safety. Secondly, the 1000g entry fee means you really shouldn't be caught up in this sort of glitch (you shouldn't anywhere, but it's a bit more important if they make you pay to enter the area, no?). Thirdly, as above mentioned, sometimes Ectos and other drops mysteriously fall through the floor and become unobtainable (that usually only happens to me in the first room, where you spawn).

In UW, it's sometimes more obvious where the terrain is glitched because mobs can also frequently get stuck. The ramps in the second chamber ('Clear the Chamber' quest, with the first group of Terrorwebs) spring immediately to mind, it's not at all unusual to see a Grasp or a Nightmare stuck on those. Never seen an Aatxe get caught there, but it seems to be really buggy.

Hope they get this sorted out, but as you say - it depends on more of us taking and sending shots rather than fuming quietly and trying to think of some way to salvage the situation.

Perhaps it would be smart to see where the poster comes from as not everyone is a native english speaker.
