    This is definitely not a new bug but we weren't sure it had been reported before.

    I think it happens most for encounters on or near the hill near Upper Tears, or for the twin troll encounter in the mountain pass so it may be terrain related.

    Sounds like there is a specific location that is having trouble. More information needed on a repro.

    I, and my other party member, have had this problem with encounters (not sieges though). I'd say it happens 20% of the time if I had to throw out a number.

    This happened 3 times in a row yesterday. One barbarian first and then two skeletons to reproduce the problem. All 3 encounters were on the path near Upper Tears. I believe two of the times were on the hill there and one time was east of the hill. There were 3 of us in the party yesterday and when one party member was caught by an encounter both of the remaining party members saw the shield high up in the air and could not click on it to join the encounter. This has also happened for us before several times in the past with just two of us in a party around the same region of the map and also in the mountain pass where the twin troll encounter is. I don't know if it happens in other areas or not since we don't usually group for encounters - we just wanted to know if the group was strong enough to help me try to tame a wyvern.

    The problem does not happen for every encounter but once it happens it tends to keep happening. We don't try to group for encounters very often so its hard to say how reproducible it is, maybe 25%. We can try to get better coordinates next time it happens but it isn't one exact spot it is along the path in that area. And it is not a newly introduced bug, it has been around for several releases we had just assumed it was a known bug.

    I also have had this issue for the past year. The current work around is to quickly log out and back in and it will no longer hover and instead will be on the ground as desired.

    Where this happened to me was the Kiln siege.

    Thanks for the input. We're not able to reproduce this internally. If anyone can reliably reproduce this issue, please repost for repro steps.

    I've seen this happen near the twin trolls encounter. Logging out and back in usually helps. Logging into and out of another zone can also help. Sometimes it will be high for one member of the group but not another.
