Details:

This bug has happened to me twice within the last half hour. I will dismount by using the Griffon Ability 1 (swoop) and hear the crashing noise on the ground, but no damage comes of the ability (enemies do not take damage, and I appear to be dismounted). However, my character is standing and walking like normal, but has no access to their abilities, nor can I dismount, or mount up again. The only option after a failed swoop like this has been to relog for me.

Happens all the time to me. I either have to let an enemy attack me enough to force a dismount or waypoint to Mistlock and then waypoint back to where I was. Sure wish this would get fixed...

I usually Bond of Faith out of it now that we have that option.

That happens to me with some regularity. But all it takes to fix it for me is to hit a mount/dismount hotkey combination again.

How do you do this? When this happens, I press all the abilities yet I cannot dismount.

I spam X (my dismount) as well as 1 (my dive/pounce) and all other mount abilities (Aurene mastery/bonds) and still haven't found a way to fix the bug except to log in and out. I wonder how you all are managing to do it.

Ah, to clarify: I never use the 1-skill (dive/pounce), which indeed doesn't work for this, or the utility skills (like Bond of Faith), which I never thought to try, for getting out of that state. And I basically never use the generic mount/dismount key at all, so I can't say whether or not it works for me in that case.

Instead, I have keybinds for each type of mount (Alt+W for raptor, Shift+W for Skimmer, Ctrl+W for Springer, Alt+Shift+W for Jackal, etc.), and I generally use the keybind for the raptor (Alt+W in my case) as a generic dismount button, since hitting a keybind for any mount, while sitting on any mount, will instead dismount you. And that works 100% reliably for me to get out of that weird state. (Disclaimer: I may have to check if using the Griffon keybind will get me out of that state as well, but I can state with confidence that using the Raptor keybind will 100% get me out of that state into the normal pedestrian state.)

Adding in my report here as well. Time was around 12:57am Mountain. Dived on my Griffon in Kessex Hills to grab a vista and this happened. Even got a "Forced Dismount" with closed defiance bar graphics. Here are the images:

yep been getting it in bitterfrost too as well, it happens just find an enemy to beat you up normally it fixes it.

Same for me in WvW... Went to leap in and attack, then character was still mounted but with access to all character skills, that functioned. Mount is now locked-out.
