    You attacked someone but didn't kill them. It's OK, they can crouch or mount up if they want, but not you. It's the penalty for not doing the job right.
    Unsubbed and no longer playing, but still checking the Alliance War forum for the lulz.

    Because ZOS is attached to some of the most annoying bugs this game has.

    One of the most common causes, but not the only one. I was inside Sej, it had not been attacked recently. I was on top behind a parapet, I unstealthed and had a look around. When I attempted to reenter stealth I was inside Sej, near the siege merchant, stuck in combat. Despite never having initiated combat of any kind. I attacked no one, and no one had attacked me. I didn't even see any enemies. I was able to dark cloak back into stealth, but still, pretty odd.

    Can we at least make death remove you from combat by default? Until the 10 min long can't get out of combat is fixed.

    Youre always stuck in combat because youre a slow moving tank in a sea of enemies.

    Unlikely.

    I'm talking about when being in combat makes no sense and creates frustration because I can't do things like mount or use the transitus. Like after respawning, when I heal someone, when we take a resource and there's not even any enemies around anymore etc..

    I have encountered this as well. I found killing a hostile woodland creature resolves it. Neutral ones, like Pony Guars won't do it.

    Actually that is exactly why it happens. You either attacked or healed someone who was attacking and the enemy wasn't killed, so you are stuck in combat until they die, stealth or leave the campaign. It is a pretty good reason to not take a pot shot at a ball group, you could be stuck all night.

    Greetings,

    As this thread was originally created in November 2014 we decided to close it down. In many cases, it's better to create a new thread on a topic that you want to discuss as opposed to bumping one that is rather old.

    Thank you for your understanding.
