All 3 arathi incursion quests in azh-kahet caused severe stuck in combat bug

[Icemistress-nagrand]

first one i did had worms that would move underground and i unwittingly cast an ability on one but it was somehow “immune” despite being partially damaged already. From that moment in I had the stuck in combat bug. This persisted after leaving the zone and returning. Very first mob i engaged retriggered stuck in combat. This happened for all 3 arathi quests. Earlier in the day i did wq’s and the like with no issues

edit - i just went back and tested on a random non quest mob in the zone, immediately stuck in combat. Whatever happened at the first arathi quest site has caused a seemingly permanent fault on my character

another edit - attacked a bird in dornogal, not stuck in combat

As I posted in another thread:

@Tendric-gnomeregan

At the time I am making this post, I have run 5 (maybe 6) characters through the event in the past 24 hours. Each run through the event was fundamentally different.

Like you, my first run was seamless. Everything worked as intended.

All subsequent runs suffered glitches. Some seemed to get stuck in a loop, some would not advance my progress bar, one the progress bar worked fine but gave no bonus crates, the last run was the buggiest thing I have ever experienced in World of Warcraft without the server failing. That last one ended with me watching my personal progress bar shooting from 30% (it had been stuck at 30% from very early in the bugfest that was the event) to 100% and that after the event had apparently ended two or three times, but no final bonus crated given, only the uncommon and rare bonus crates.

Edit some hours later: What is readily apparent is the sheer quantity of enemies that freeze at some point during the Nightfall event and the Radiant Incursions, very often locking you in combat even after a zone change. A related issue is that the spawns seem to be in a fixed pattern and this sometimes breaks in the cycle, leaving one wave to continuously spawn even after the Nightfall final boss has spawned and been slain.

All together, this patch seems poorly developed and – ready or not – rushed to retail, feedback from the PTR was clearly ignored.

Edit again after more in-game fun times ™: Was stuck in combat on all three Azj-Kahet incursions on three different alts, (two balance druids, one assassination rogue). Rogue’s vanish wouldn’t break me out of combat. Had to ground-pound out of the zone via the portal to Dornagal or use a hearthstone to break free of it. Easily 50 minutes total spent dealing with that and having to travel back each time it happened.

fun times. I wish it happened on my mage as i could easily bail out via teleport, alas it happened on my warrior alt which was painfully frustrating. Cant believe that it violated even rogues vanish. Sure seems like it somehow impacts on the actual character, What else could be happening on the code side that we arent aware of? perhaps its killing item durability as well causing gp loss (not that gp is exactly huge but its still time lost in the grand scheme of things)

This is happening to me. Still. Today. Hearthing can sometimes fix it but I have to run in Travel Form to get anywhere in this zone now.

There’s one mob in particular in Untamed Valley (southeast questing zone) that is permanently immune and will keep you in combat until you force close your game.
