    this seeker in my screenshot just moved around calmly until another player attacked.

    No, they attack everyone in their radius if one player attacks the herald seeker. I ported into a wayshrine and was immediately attacked by a tentacle. I don't know of any other add that does that. Its super annoying.

    Was that Ald Isra wayshrine? I was tentacled twice there - and I'm just not using it again until they fix this idiocy.

    I ported there earlier, wasn't paying attention...... the damn tentacles were in the wayshrine, it did make me chuckle!

    I am wondering if "stuck in combat" from some other encounter will make it so that the tentacles chase players across the map...

    I've never had a character stuck in combat in 3.5 years of playing. What are the trigger conditions for this problem? I got the impression it was mainly occurring in Cyrodiil.

    Me either. Then again.... I don't do pvp (I only do Cyro for master angler) or end game anything, so if that's where it happens, that's why it's never happened to me.

    If you leave an enemy monster that you've entered combat with and it can't get close enough to you to trigger the reset (i.e. a cliff in the way), the enemy will remain stuck at the barrier and you will be stuck in combat with it. I recently saw it happen where I rode too close to an enemy NPC and it started chasing me, but I rode off a cliff and the NPC had no way down, so it just ran back and forth at the edge of the cliff and I was stuck in a combat state with it, even though the little red enemy dot on my UI had disappeared. I had to ride around and up to the top of the cliff and kill the damn thing to clear the combat state.

    Stuck in combat also does happen in pve after killing the foe. That kind of stuck is temporary, few seconds to half-minuteish, but still annoying. I recenty did S.Elsweyr dragons daily with alt for a while to unlock the good bits and appeared it gets worse at prime time.

    Not that it bothers me much, but today I had just dug up an antiquity, was looking at what to do next, and then got dragged into a Herald fight nearby. Not sure if it was the tentacles or one of the regular adds, but I got attacked nonetheless.
