Hey guys..

So I just wanted to share a funny story with you all..

Yesterday, my Girl and me are dropping on Siege: defending - Boreal Vault.

She drops in her Supernova, and I drop in a Deathstrike for first drop.

I'm like.. ok I got some Gauss on this thing.. I'm gonna jump on top of that Habitat-like boxy things in the base, so I have a better sight of the gate, and I'll snipe..

Lo and behold, I jump up there, and I can't move. I'm stuck. JJ's continuously empty, can't turn my legs, and am glued to that spot.

So She says OK, I'll help you.. I'll try to push you off..

She jumps up.. and immediately becomes stuck as well..

At this point, I'm laughing, She's laughing, and I'm saying over voip that We've turned into a Caliope Turret. (Cose' she has LRMs and I have Gauss and laservomit)

At this point, a teammate also has an idea to jump up there to try and push us off..

He jumps up, and HE TOO gets stuck.. so now we have 3 immobile mechs on the first wave.. one can LRM, one can shoot gauss, but covers only the left edge of the map, and once can't shoot at anytihing because he's facing towards the spawn points..

Hilarity ensues..

In the end, we got slaughtered in seconds, all three of us, and then we dropped in fresh mechs, having wasted the first ones..

We ended up to a narrow loss, and a support ticket with screenshots of the bug..

Moral of the story:

Avoid jumping on the habitat-boxy thingies. Even literally the OLDEST FP map still has major bugs..

Avoid jumping on anything that is in Grim Portico/Plexus.

Yep most of the boxes around/near the gun on Boreal are strictly user-beware. I've been stuck on various ones a number of times and I know plenty who have been.

It's bloody annoying

Still spots all over old maps and new. Vitric city spawn ramps (corners and against the wall) and the walls just inside the gates from the field to name two; Helbore terrain around the gun, etc. Even Terra and River have em (River has a lot).

Awesome story. You know, a quick fix would be to let jets recharge any time they're not activated....

Aye my urbie has been turned into a turret a few times on terra.

What the game needs is an "unstuck" where you hold whatever button for 5 seconds and the game shift you a few meters. It would have totally 0 impact on actual gameplay but would fix silly stuff like this

[Lily from animove]

the magical hovermech areas, they are fun at times, but mostly annoying.

Hopping up and down next to the wrong piece of cover causing me to be stuck in place but still able to rotate.

Rubble has a spot that is like an elevator: once you jump into it you go up and down till you die. It can collect mechs as well. I sent a vidoe to PGI and they've said they've fixed it. I'd share it here but can seem to be able to paste it on the forum?

part of the bug seems to be that it thinks you're "dry firing" your JJs, though. At least, it always has been when I've experienced it.

Pretty sure Cathy is pointing out that an Urbie is ALREADY a turret given its rotational characteristics...it doesn't need to get stuck to do that...

there is a spot on the new terra therma where you can get inside one of the volcanoes. you can then see out and shoot out through one narrow point but no one can see you. i sent a bug report ages past.

This happened to me when I was playing a Blackjack during an Assault match on Crimson Strait. I got stuck in some buildings and ended up guarding the base as a turret.

I wanna be a turret!! TURRET WARRIOR ONLINEEEE
