There seems to be two types of bugs I have come across in OPR.
-the one described above where the player is rooted and can only move in one direction after jumping. then movement is slowed and if stopped the player is rooted again.

  • a bug that makes the player move faster than everyone else. this bug persists outside of OPR once triggered.

game feels like its being held together by duct tape.

This has been in the game since 1.1, but I haven’t seen any acknowledgements. I’ve had it in many wars and allies still get it every war.

Same problem here. Experienced this problem a couple of times in the last week. Relogging doesn’t work. You have to close the client, then you have a 1 hour penalty for leaving OPR. Then I just stop playing. It’s sad.

This happens almost anytime im fighting in a large group and more than 2 ice mages are attacking me. The root of the problem seems to be yet again Ice Gauntlet. This weapon is so buggy and OP its crazy we are still dealing with things like this.

Is it a root? Is something around your feet or are you in or just left an ice attack? I have noticed recently that the ice root perk is really long.

I also have an issue at times when I try and to do many things to fast during a fight. Along with weapon change issues, I am having one where I suddenly can’t turn or move properly. I found that if I opened my inventory by pressing TAB and closing it, that it returned to normal. Hope this helps if that is what’s happening.

ill try opening inventory and closing it next time i get the bug. it feels like a root, if you jump you can move slowly in a straight line, but cant turn or dodge. and if you stop moving you get “rooted” again.
