Guild Wars 2

OK so i know that pets and conditions can keep you in combat mode even though all monsters are dead.
As a very low level thief i have no pets and no conditions on me when ive killed the monsters – SO WHY is my health not regenning and skills unchangeable (BECAUSE i’M IN COMBAT) . . . .BUT I’M NOT – i’ve killed the monsters ITS now six minutes since ive killed the monsters AND IM STILL IN COMBAT.
THIS only seems to happen if i’ve used a stealth skill –
This and how STUPIDLY QUICK the monsters regen health when they go back to their spawn spot (when pulled too far away) AND the INSANELY ILLOGICAL targeting system is making combat BIG CAT SILLY
EDIT: 15 minutes now nothings hit me but im still in combat and so have to log out to view the vista

Its happened a couple of times on my engi but its never lasted this long nor as frequent (3 lvl 80’s 2 lvl 40’s and this thief 17 so had a few hours playing different proffessions)

ya it happens to me too, I just do a stealth and it fixes it. I just figure anet will get around to it. All mmo’s have bugs kKagari, there are bugs in WoW they still havent fixed them years later.

tried hide in shadows it healed me but didn’t reset the combat status- it took 20 min to reset

It seems that if i stealth when aggro’d by monster and that monster returns to its spawn point then i to stay in combat mode

I rly dont see the problem, just kill that monster that you have agroed, or move further away, what will result in combat drop. And if it was the situation with discovering vista ( you run past multiple mobs, agroing them and stealthing away to get to vista) and if you spent 20 min w8ing for combat to drop, well sir then you have problems. I would have simply reloged.

Tip: If you’ve just reached a vista but you’re being attacked by a mob then simply log out and in while spamming your use key (F by default) and as you log in you’ll get the vista before being attacked.

Just run away, or kill the closest monster and it will return you to out of combat mode.

Running away doesnt help ive ran across the map avoiding mobs and i was still in combat it happens to me alot. Especially wen i get to vistas. At thast point i re logg but its reaslly annoying to have to log every time.

i just wanted to see if the in combat status would drop- thats why i left it. If the in combat dropped after 20 minutes WHY wouldnt it drop after a few seconds?
Because of the frequency that this happens Thief is now at the top of (my) list for “broken” class (it was engineer).
THE ANSWER – to kill mobs or just move on is just plain silly. . . . . YES its a workaround but if peoples attitude is :“it happens – get over it”- THEN IT WILL NOT GET FIXED
The frequency and volume of specific bug reports determines the priority of the fix. . .
. . . . IF ITS NOT REPORTED BY PEOPLE AFFECTED BY IT (EVERY time it happens) THEN IT WILL NOT GET FIXED
ANET wants to sort out the bugs and balance issues- thats why they are devoting time and resorces to it – instead of new content

i am over it doesnt mean its not annoying still

I have this issue too and it is certainly stealth related. It’s most irritating when you want to gather a resource only to notice you’re out of tools, and then you can’t replace them because you’re stuck in combat for no reason.

I think it’s great that Stealth doesn’t reset a mob instantly or it would be impossible to use in PvE but getting stuck in combat indefinitely is just as bad.

I had this happen twice yesterday.

cant run cos i’m still stuck in combat mode.

stealth should drop aggro – i think its wrong that the mobs reset so quick – the fact that some mob still have aggro means that stealth is broken.

I’d just logoff & logon if aggro doesn’t go off for more than 1 min

This happens now and then, on any profession, without stealth getting involved. Most of the time, killing ANYTHING will get you to leave combat, so just do that.

This actually happens to me a lot: I’ll remain in combat mode long after it should have ended, even though my weapons are put away, I’m not moving, and all of my skills are off of cooldown. It prevents me from using waypoints or using vistas, which is extremely irritating when I’m mapping.

I usually fix it by logging out to character selection and logging back in.

It doesn’t actually, or not always, it appears the engine keeps track of who you were in combat with. on occasion slaying a dozen mobs wouldn’t drop me from combat, until I looked around and got the right one.

I’ve had it happen a lot.

Often I can run a moderate distance (About the normal tether range of the mob I aggroed that I used stealth to disengage from)

But occasionally either that isn’t feasible (I.E. Stealthed passed a lot of things, stupid insta-respawns, being in a cave etc) or doesn’t work (I once ran halfway across Straits of Devastations without re-entering combat and it hadn’t let me leave)

In those situations quickly killing a mob can reset it (Not feasible if the reason I want to leave combat is that I’m at too low health to consider fighting more things) or failing that re-logging (Gives me a reason to tab out and browse forums for a bit aswell)

But yeah… Only seems to happen when using stealth to disengage an enemy (Even if it’s another enemy aggroing whilst already combat and being disengaged before doing or being dealt damage)
Haven’t had it occur without stealth being involved (Though Grawl and their bloody “Totems of chill you for a year” are still annoying without suitable condition removal)

I’m glad (but also disapointed) that its not me having this issue.
The main reason i chose thief, was so that i had another lvl80 (have 3-engi, mesmer, guard), to farm t6 mats and from my experiences in orr, i believed thief would be a good profession to do this without having to have combat every step of the way.
Have i made a mistake?
Should i have made a warrior?

Yes this is a bug I have experienced with my thief many times and not my other tunes.

I feel like this problem is going to become infinitely more annoying, now that they instituted the new feature where no one in your party can use waypoint if someone is still in combat.

+1 Same issue sometimes occurs in WvW, anoying when you’re being chased and it takes a long time to get rid of that.
