Can't logout now because I am in combat with a super god toon?????

Ulfson

this is just [snip]. The only ways I knew to escape the infinite combat bug in sillydiil was to, die, logout, or just quit. But NOW I can't logout or QUIT. [snip] I know how to kill a task in windows. What a great fix that is.

When you are trapped in combat, you have to die as you mentioned. Other options are queuing for Imperial City which works but takes you out of sillydill. Another option is going into a sillydill delve or entering the cheese factory portal at your home base.

I don't know the status effect is that does this-- it might be more than one-- but it happened to me once and kept me from being able to mount until I finally got killed by someone. My suspicion is that some PvP players have figured out what makes this happen and are doing it deliberately to troll their opponents, similar to when some players figured out how to force the game to disconnect other players by spamming particle effects or whatever it was and causing other players' graphics cards to be overloaded or whatever was resulting in the disconnect.

I'm highly certain that whatever's causing the infinite in-combat bug isn't something that can be purposefully and maliciously used by anyone. Why does the answer have to be other people actively doing this? Why can't a bug just be a bug instead of other people being out to troll?

They may have problems entering a Cyrodiil delve if in combat since the in-combat bug is not a normal thing, It may work, may not.

The real issue is the in-combat bug needs to be fixed. I have not seen such a serious bug go on for this long without being addressed. Have they addressed this at all?

Just gotta go to Uncle Sheogoroth's car wash. Port to your base, hop into the cheese hole, and your combat status will look as good as new.

A bug is always a bug, but I think you're being a bit naive if you think there aren't people in this world who don't enjoy looking for bugs and trying to think of creative ways to abuse bugs in order to cause malicious mischief. That's what hackers like to do, and there are even conventions and contests devoted to that sort of activity.

So, yeah, when I say I suspect that "some PvP players have figured out what makes this happen and are doing it deliberately to troll their opponents," I'm being serious, but I'm also just speculating.

Is it something that can be triggered deliberately? I don't know. I don't know what causes it, nor am I interested in trying to find out, but I'd bet there are people who are interested in finding out, and who'd trigger it deliberately if they could.

I have only ever been caught in combat endlessly when attacking a group that didn't die, or someone in my group took a pot shot at a group while we were headed elsewhere, and we all ended up walking because of it. If the person you attacked hasn't stealthed, ported, mounted or died, there is a pretty good chance you are stuck in combat until they do.

The bug is a bug, it is more about the attacker making it happen to themselves than the defender though. If you attack someone, make sure either you or them is going to die or you will probably be stuck in combat. Taking pot shots is pretty much a guarantee you will be stuck FYI.

How I wish these old bugs got fixed: in-combat bug, the gap closers in Imperial City, etc.

Dying in combat doesn't guarantee that you get out of combat. The game still considers you in combat because there's still an active fight going on which is dumb. I've died, then respawned at a completely DIFFERENT keep away from the fight I died at but I can't mount up or change slottables because "You are in combat".
I guess game considers you a participant in a fight so you still get flagged that way even when you die and respawn somewhere else
