That bug has been in the game basically since launch. It isn’t going to be fixed because it is evidently something wrong deep in the code someone wrote 20 years ago.
Again like I have said in another thread, Leslie the programmer doesn’t know what Dave wrote 20 years ago so she can’t fix it.
Oh no. Mechagon combat bug is far more prolific. It is honestly infuriating when it happens to you, but hilarious when it happens to your buddy who’s questing with you in discord.
Sounds like a lie to me – restarting the game client after a forced shutdown doesn’t remove you from combat. Unless, of course, it takes you a good 5-10 minutes or more to log back in, I suppose.
If I don’t just die, I cannot log out. If you try to log out you get the message “you can’t do that right now”.
So instead I go to the task manager and find the WoW program. I then force it to end.
So now I am logged out.
Knowing that it sometimes takes a while for the game to realize you are logged out I generally wait a couple minutes before trying to log back in. (And take a BR break or eat or come here.)
I then log in.
It is ridiculous and a slap in the face that I have to do this again and again and again.
