I've gotten killed so many times because I come to a complete STOP and shoots... why?

How I can prevent myself from stopping when I'm trying to run away?

De-equip your rifle or whip out your sidearm.

Oddly enough, this "stop to attack" bug only happens with rifles, but only sometimes, it's not something htat happens all the time, I've been able to shoot while running many times, even headshots while running.

Using aim always stops you in your tracks, though.

Actually, I've had it happen when I have no weapon equipped too... (though I've never had it happen with a pistol)

I've also had it after de-equipping my rifle...

And sometimes one wants to kite something, or kill it before it reaches you...

I find this happens to me during 2 conditions

1) I'm running and shoot a creature/npc and I come to a complete stop

2) I'm running away from a creature/npc and they miss me with their ranged attack and I come to a halt.

Yup... same problem here... i'll bee running away with no weapon equipped, and my character just halts in his tracks then starts running again. **edit**. This is really bad news when it is absolutely imperative that I get away.

It happens when an attack is attempted and you are not in combat mode (those red crossed swords symbol). The client is initiating Auto-Combat. Yes, this is VERY annoying. Has anyone /bug -ed this?

It's called Auto-Defend - a fearure the Devs put in to "supposedly" help you out. I find it absolutely worhtless and annoying.

it ruins my burst run, it happens everytime anything tries to attack you, things that I should've flew by catch up to me when I'm bursting because of this.

Both cases were stated, already but you can avoid one of them.

Theres were your kiting a ranged attacked, and he shoots and misses. You will stop breifly to turn around. (very annoying)

The one that can be avoided is you stoping to shoot a second creature/NPC. You continually hit peace, wich for me is F7 or F8 I forgot. Spam it and you wont enter combat mode, and stop. I tried taking out no weapons, it didnt work, I stopped to fight them when I was shot...

This is the biggest most death-causing bug I have experienced!

Aldeon, I don't know how much influence or whatever you have being a rifle correspondent, but this needs to be addressed to the devs because it is really, really pissing me off.

It is NOT a feature. It is NOT helpful. And it is NOT realistic.

It has to be a bug since it seems so random.
