Guild Wars 2

Yesterday i was doing the collapsed observatory jumping puzzle and there is one point where you walk over an pit with an red ooze that throws fireballs at you.

normaly no problem but when your in “fighting mode” you dont jump as far and even though i was as far away as i could about i coulndt get out of fighting mode without jumping down, killing the ooze and making an detour to get to the same point again.

i had to constantly check to see how fast i could run before making the jump else i would not make it and fall since the jumps are shorter.

maybe change the fighting mode to where if you dont get damage for 30 seconds / 1 minute you go out of fighting mode, that will save a lot of time having to go back and kill what is agro’d on you.

Your other option at that point is to log out and back in again. It resets the agro, but it really should not be necessary. If the mob can no longer hit you, it shouldn’t keep you in fight mode. We had problems with that during beta when people fell through the map and couldn’t waypoint back because some mob was trying unsuccessfully to hit them through the floor.

When you log back in, you’ll be standing in the same place.

This happened to me a few times too, usually after you jumped to some spot where the mob cannot reach you. Usually you leave combat but sometimes you won’t leave combat even the mob is back to its position and not in combat anymore. And this stays forever. You have to get into another combat and kill something to get out of combat, not necessary the mob that were chasing you.

I noticed that this will happen often when I use stealth to get away from a fight. The mob will go back home and be happy, but my character is still angry and think he is in a fight. Very annoying.

There is an option in the keyboard bindings, where you can set a key to toggle you into or out of combat. You will have to set it yourself as there is no default key attached to it. Helps a lot when jumping around mobs.
