Same day with the sprite patch I was doing an FSC run and when we got to Vanaduke I somehow got pushed into the flames blocking you from moving towards him while hes talking to you so I died while that was happening with the same effect of the sprite death bug
Dying when Vanaduke is talking to you makes you unrevivable

Yes! This happened to me too and I missed out on the whole fight :< I tried to disconnect and reconnect again but that did not work. Please fix this problem.

Fixing the mother sprite
Fixing the mother sprite wasn't really a fix, it was a bandaid that now prevents the sprites from getting to their mother, but doesn't fix the real problem (not being able to escape NPC chat).
Anyways, if you do get stuck, minimize the game and contact in-game support via the link on the wiki page. I did this and I had to log out and the GM put me back in the fight (I was dead though).
The worst part though, is that by the time a GM responds, half the people facing vana are likely to stop paying attention to the game.

indeed
This also happened to me. Couldn't type, couldn't rev, couldn't do anything until my crew killed vana and got on the elevator to the core.

Bump.
Over a week old, this really needs fixing soon.
I have been affected by this same glitch twice now. During the May 09 patch, you guys decided to remove the ability to skip NPC dialogue by pressing the Esc button. As a result, a new bug at the Firestorm Citadel Throne room causes the last player to step on the trigger button to walk into the flame barrier, even though the game is supposed to halt all movement at that time. Furthermore, while that player is forced to die, he/she cannot be revived either! The opening dialogue remains on the screen with no way to escape it. If you press Esc, you just get the option menu and you cannot press any other button, including F1! You are forced to die, cannot be revived and have no way of contacting a GM. A true waste of energy.
A similar glitch that was caused by the sprite was just fixed today, but you somehow managed to overlook this glitch which is in the same level.
Please allow us to manually exit NPC dialogue again!
