Whirlpool thing

Weird thing has happned to me twice. First time was on sunday night. Second time was yesterday.

For some reason a whirlpool like thing appears under my toons feet. It kind of spits up bubbles and hums loudly. At first I thought it was some weird buff that someone put on me, but it doesn't go away unless I zone.

Why am I getting this? What is it and is there a way to stop it with out zoning?

thanks for any help

Definitely not a buff. Since it goes away when yopu zone my guess would be that yoy are activating a toggle by accident.

Sounds a lot like super speed to me. Is it bright yellow and makes you run fast?

Sorry if it is a silly question but the description fits.

What lvl/power sets are you? If you are a /fire blaster then it could be hot feet I suppose.

Also this should really be posted in player questions or (possibly) new players.

Sounds like Prestige Power Slide to me. Can you give us any more details about it?

It might be a gravity control hold/immob graphic, those tend to stick to your char sometimes... Were you by any chance fighting family?

Think Ive noticed a similar thing, at the time I thought it was an effect after hasten ran out but never really paid much attention and I was drunk so probably just seeing double.

I doubt this as it only started on sunday night. No changes to keyboard layout and its also not the result of one of my powers

No. Its like a swirling whirlpool (like a mini-galaxy) and small bubbles rise from it. And it hums loudly - which is annoying

I posted here cause I'm a blaster and figured it might be happening to other blasters . And I don't think the new players would like a level 49 player asking them questions - well they might but it would be embarrasing for me

Both times its happend I've been fighting in PI - against Carnies, Malta, Nemesis and Circle - just random hunting.

I know its not a power of mine. Doubtful its a buff. Its probably not the result of a battle with a mob as all effects wear off shortly after the mob dies. I have run about with this for about 20 mins before I zoned out.

without a doubt it's the leftovers from a gravity type power. Sometimes the visual effect can stick which is pretty annoying. I find it happens a lot with dark based things.
