Out of combat

oahaha

So, when in pvp i get stuck in combat for ages, can't you guys just implement a range\time thing to just leave combat.
I sometimes end up running\streaking from keep to keep, and i'm still in combat even the player that i've engaged is long gone or km away from me.
I don't know if it's a bug or not but can you please implement a timer and a distance do get you out of combat.

Doesn't the Keep Recall Stone also work to stem this problem? Forgot if you could use it in combat or not, but it lets you teleport to a friendly Keep even if it's surrounded by enemy resources on all sides.

It's has always been a problem, but about a year or year and a half ago it became a huge issue where you would simply never get out of combat, sometimes for hours as long as one person in a group you engaged with was still alive.

I haven't been in Cyrodiil in any real capacity for over a year, but I think it's still an issue. ZoS either can't fix it or doesn't wish to spend the time to figure it out.

It really sucks.

He's actually not kidding though. Killing yourself is an actual valid way to get OOC and is a viable (if disappointingly necessary) solution to get yourself somewhere faster.

There are two ways to get out of combat.

If in open cyro, find a delve and enter then exit.
Another way is enter/exit cheesemonger hollow.

Both will get you out of combat. They will also get you out of the infinite status effects too.

When you heal other people, as long as they're in combat even with you moving far away, they will keep you in combat. You attack someone, but don't kill them and they go off fighting someone else also tends to keep you in combat.

My worst perpetual combat mode was fighting in PvE, that one Ghost world boss in the The Rift went underground and NEVER came back up. I was stuck in combat until I made it all the way to north to zone to Eastmarch as I couldn't mount, use wayshrines, interact with doors such as delves, or do anything that could break combat except change zones.

I know if you get killed or kill yourself gets you out, i want a fix not a work around.

and you think we will work out the solution to a problem that has existed for years, or what is ur point?

You'd have thought this would be nearer to the top of the priority bugs to fix list given its been a hot topic on the forums for the last several years

You want solution? Dont attack ballgroups, combat stuck is mostly because of that( as long as they are in combat you are too) , or get yourself killpotion. Do yourself favor and dont expect fix anytime soon

They actually really fixed this once a couple years back...then proceeded to break it again with the very next update.
Those were a great three months for PvP.

It wasnt fixed. You could just swap skills in combat which was bug too. But they decided to remove it (skill swap in combat of course. Combat stuck Isn't bug, its feature)

Yes, it was fixed, it was a couple of years back and didn't last long but for a short while the timer actually worked and if you didn't get hit or hit anyone you'd drop out of combat when you are supposed to.

The first discussion is a thank you from a player from when they fixed it. The second discussion is people bemoaning the fact that it was fixed and they broke it again.

I found hitting a npc mob that you simply quick kill will unflag you, as it seems to reset the bugged combat flag. Not always but sometimes.
