yeah that doesn’t work with this. you will remain in combat even if you use Feign Death.
ALT F4 works but you have to give it a moment to log your character out of the game. The usual time a logout takes 
If you insta jump back in your character hasn’t actually left the game yet.
still doesn’t work. I logged off for 5 min and then came back was still in combat.

I find that very hard to believe.
Before reactivating the sub, like 2 weeks after 9.2 was out, I was reading all these bad things about Zereth, that it is empy, that it is dull, that it is bad in any possible way… Ofc nostalgia kicked in and made me resub, but to be honest, I haven’t encounter the combat bug not once with or without poco.
And in fond, it really feels just like Korthia, as in not great like Time Island, and not bad like The Maw, somewhere in betwheen.
At the moment, WoW is just a recycle of it’s own, but the bad things that make it bad are systems over systems or lack of them. I don’t care about lore and story, since that just brakes a game if taken to serious, and WoW is the perfect example for that. Vanilla launched with a mix of 10000 little stories on top of a big story that was also mixed and in many different time periods of the big story. But people played the game for its unbelivable gameplay and great community. As soon as the game focues more on story, I.E WoD, the game started feeling dissapointing for many thing but it had one more and that is the story. Nvm that, it is subjective anyway.
The really bad part is that in 2022, it still has really illogical ways to gear up. I get it, it was designed to be played like this 16 years ago, but things have to change, we need to be able to play the content TYPE we want, as fast or as equal like other contents as possible. And here I am refering to pre-rated gear that needs 1000000000 levels raised before you can get rated gear.
I get it, you need to do heroic dungeons OR LFR raid before starting normal raid or mythic+, but for ARENA, why in the hell do I need to do other type of content ?
Let me do arena for full honor gear - only 1 level not 7, then let me get conquest gear and adress ilvl with rating.
Said it many times but I will say it again:
You want a skill based game, that still involves the RPG gearing element, then do:
Gear ilvl scalling based on rating.
If I am at 1800 rating, I am not supposed to struggle with 200ilvl gear because I don’t WANT to do other type of PvP content (battlegrounds), there should be templates that praise the skill, and also gear obtainable that addresses the LACK of skill or different levels of skill.
If I am 700mmr and I lack skill and i am ilvl 200, then my gear is scalled to the ilvl of the gear previews bracket obtainable from the previews bracket (last battleground gear ilvl or something like that) untill I get the ilvl gear raised to the bracket I am curently in, and maybe that helps me push the rating, or if I am that bad at arena, I will be stuck in that rating bracket.
But if I am skilled, got ilvl 200 gear, but can achieve 1400, 1600, 1800, then make it so that my gear is scalled to the ilvl of the gear obtainable from the previews bracket (1200, 1400, 1600) . Simple as that.
then don’t believe me. I don’t need you to. all I need is for blizzard to fix this. I don’t believe that you are MVP with 39752 posts either but I can see you are and you have no reason to lie. neither do I. so how about you just take my word for it. or be on your way

Did you actually log off or not?
I’ve alt+F4’d the game quite a few times when I’m going to play something else, like Overwatch. I have several accounts in Overwatch and have myself added as friend. So, I log in on Overwatch and as I’m sitting in the queue for a game I notice I’m still online in WoW, somehow. I log in on this account again and run there with another character and guess what, my character was standing there, idle. It took a good 10 minutes before my character disappeared from the world.
That’s when I realized what’s happened all those times I’ve logged in and find myself dead on characters that I have no memory of dying on before logging off, they’ve been standing around after I alt+f4 the game, long enough for mobs to kill it.
Also had a guy that we thought just went AFK in the dos +16 we did but he apparently disconnected, he was disconnected until we were pretty much done but his character was still there, hence us thinking he just went AFK.
My friend d/cs a lot and I have to heal up/protect his body which is still in game for the full log out period.
People just don’t take into account their character is still in game when they get disconnected or Alt F4/Camp to disconnect themselves.
Some people have fast PCs and others have slow ones. But if you reconnect to your char before it’s left the game, you’ll never drop combat.
Nazmir used to be dreadful for keeping you in combat, had to Alt F4 there all the time or simply stay grounded.
Did you move past enemies that were fighting with each other?
99% of the time, from my experience, you get stuck in combat if you move past enemies that are in combat with each other and you get aggro on one of them. They will never get out of combat due to not being able to kill each other, so you stay in combat until someone by chance kills the enemy you got into combat with.
I didn’t get stuck in combat ever since I began to give a wide birth to enemies that are in combat with random NPCs, so since early Legion.
It is even worse if you have a pet like pocopoc out. Try not to have him out, or if you do dismiss him first chance you get.
i dont play in zereth mortis … i get bored anyway by playing world quest thing
I have a druid on darkspear that DC when I land in the heart of the forest. Only that char does this. Weird
I have heard that you can avoid it by never activating a flight path while in travel/flight form.
I do not regularly play a druid so can not atest to this myself.

This is still not fixed, they only thing that resets it is either letting my character die, or jump trough the portal back to Oribos. It’s not Pocopoc, as it also happens when I have not summoned him. What doesn’t work for me:
- moving all the way to the other side of the map
- Hearthstone, can’t use
- Invisibility, still in combat
- Exiting the game, doesn’t allow me to quit the game trough the menu
- Force exiting the game, when I restart, even when been on other characters first, I am still in combat
When I manage to reset it by letting my character die or the ‘Zereth Mortis <-> Oribos’ portal, the issue returns after I go in combat again. I kill a mob, and stay in combat limbo until I reset it the ugly way.
This seriously needs a fix, as Zereth Mortis becomes unplayable like this.

I think I figured out the problem.
I think it is the neutral wasp mobs that makes me stuck in combat.
Sometimes when I attack a mob or loot a chest, I get permanently stuck in combat but sometimes when I kill those wasps I leave combat. Sometimes there is no wasp nearby so I have to re enter Oribos, log out and log in again><
I am not sure why it is like this. The wasps are not even following me or anything>< And it is weird that the combat is regionwide.
