Guild Wars 2

After the update on the 30th there is no indication that I’m ‘in-combat’. Previously the little arrows above the utility skills would disappear when you were in-combat, they now remain there all the time.

This makes jumping puzzles and other speed+distance estimation very difficult. There needs to be a more universal in-combat sign other than – you can’t change your skills right now, something touched you half a mile ago. Maybe a colored border around your skill bar or pulsing health circle.

edit I was just informed in-game that there has always been an in-combat swirl above the health indicator which in the 2 years I’ve played I’ve never noticed. It was always the little arrows that I and other have associated with in-combat status. Oh well lol.

there is already something like what you’re asking for already in the game that tells you you’re in combat. the area around the skill/utility ui changes to yellow when in combat.
