I've been stuck in combat with my wife ever since we got married...

Try swapping weapons...

@VvwvenomwvV and @I_killed_Vivec opened the door, so permit me to saunter on through...
*Ahem* specifically, swap out the dagger for a 2-handed claidheamh-mòr. Your wife will be quite happy with the upgrade!

Back on-topic, I've gotten stuck in combat in BGs literally when I've gotten in the group and the battle hasn't even begun. The beginning countdown is still in effect, but I encounter the red "battle border" - go figure that out!

Saunter through? You just knocked the doors down

Please fix the "stuck in combat" feature.

I've been stuck in combat for 8 years.

I'm tired and I want to go home.

Just ran around grabbing lorebooks today and I got stuck in combat 5 different times going from mage guild 7 to 10. Only thing I could do to fix it was queueing into imperial city.

I got killed today in a keep battle, rezzed at the forward camp, and was still stuck in combat. Later on I got knocked off the bridge and eaten by slaughterfish. Revived at the wayshrine at base camp and yep..... stuck in combat.

I feel like Tom Cruise in Edge of Tomorrow. Even death is no solace from combat. At least let me mount up, instead of doing the walk of shame back to the battle while all the cool kids ride past me to cash in on the big D tick.

Not being able to mount in combat is miserable. I wouldn't mind being stuck in combat if I could mount.

As long as the system works, ZOS does not need to do anything.

Poeple will complain - what of it?

It's been here for so long, I kind see it as a feature now....

yep.

not a day goes by that it's not a part of my game, even in pve.

If we are talking about the idea where:
- you 'alert' an enemy and despite running 'forever' they continue to follow you until you actively turn and confront them
- then then will attack and interrupt you
- then they become unkillable while they turn and run back to their spawn location.

Then everything about that behaviour coupled with no apparent interest in a fix, tells me that this one of many, deliberate game play changes. It's not a bug.

I have no experience with the mount problem.

It's not that situation. That's kind of annoying but that "stuck in combat" effect wears off as soon as the NPC gives up and runs back to the spawn point. This is where you get indefinitely stuck in combat in certain situations in Cyrodiil and is definitely not intended behaviour. After being in combat you can literally run across half the map without seeing a soul, sit on your own for half an hour, and still be stuck in combat. The only things that fix it are dying or entering / leaving a delve. There needs to be some really simple timer that resets it based on time since last taking a hit.

There is a way around this. It’s called kill the enemy or players you have engaged with in combat. If said enemy or players are killed by another player you stay in combat until you kill something. When this happens to me in pvp I go find a random wolf and kill it. 9/10 I get out of combat. Make sure the wolf hits you. This way the game detects you successfully killed the target that you are engaged in combat with.

In pve it’s designed to stop players from rushing through content. This way they kill enemies as they see them.

It’s not a bug it’s a game feature, for pve. 😀

😅😂🤣

Seriously though it’s about time this gets fixed.

You cannot fast travel when enemies are nearby.

Yeah, but there is a difference between Fast Travel and traveling fast. Most everyone I have seen has no problem running away from combat, as we watch a string of reds vainly trying to catch them. It's why I can't understand people wanting Overland to be made harder because it's " too easy ". What's the point when the majority of Players just run away from even skeevers?

"Stuck in Combat" ruins any groups for me in Cyro. I simply will not join because you can never keep up with the group when you have this bug. I'm tired of having to go to IC or Cheese Monger's to get rid of it. The IC solution is okay when you don't have a que. I just got dropped from a PVP guild because I will never NEVER join pvp groups in Cyro.

I don't understand why this mechanic can not just be REMOVED from the game? Consider it a quality of life improvement.

best thing to do is to kill mobs that you accidentally aggroed or not run past and/or skip adds in dungeons this way the doors usually work as intended, if you do find you self stuck in combat try returning to the area you just left to see if the add is following you and kill it or try to start a fight with a different mob and kill those sometimes it will release you from the AKA combat bug.

Bar swap, Dodge-roll, sometimes fixes it.

Used to be able to open the Store & Preview Anything & it would pull you from combat ! (Some recent downgrades may have prevented this from working now, try it)

The recent "Push' to Environmentally Helpful have made this worse ! There's a Lag from the limiting of the data-streams and menus stuck at 30 FPS added to the already bad lag in busy areas makes it lock.

Sucks in PvP , at least PvE you can try to go through a door or enter thieves area for eg: , The zone change can get it to fix.

also try /reloadui in chat !
Cheers & Luck.

And BTW, you can use portals and STILL be stuck in combat. So HOW is it stopping players from running away? I basically can't get out without going to Cheese Mongers or IC.

Lylith · August 7

the whole 'in combat' status needs to be scrapped.

so what if you can mount up in the middle of a battle and why does 'in combat' nerf your speed?

it should just go away, forever.

o_Primate_o · August 7

Try:
1 heavy attack in the air
2 roll dodge
3 reload UI
4 purify synergy
Works about 50% of the time

5 Have an enemy kill you
Sadly doesn't work all the time.

The system clearly doesn't work, because people are finding themselves STUCK IN COMBAT even though they are in fact NOT in combat. Not sure what part of that is hard to understand.

And they say that being stuck in combat is because you have aggro... yeah, right...
