Already in combat? After returning from reclaim?

I was involved in trying to defend a tower that did not belong to my guild. I was killed and returned from reclaim. I figured I'd find the edge of the 25% zone and then buff up in the 75% area.

As soon as I step into the 25% zone, I get attacked and killed by 2 players that must have been spamming the q button at me. Evidently, I didn't get a grace period when returning to the 25% zone because I was "already in combat".

Now, I had saved in Clon**** and the fighting was in Broken Shores. So I zoned twice after reclaim.

Anyone know if this is intended behaviour?

Did you attack the tower?

If so you were flagged, meaning the other side can attack you at will

What Mneuro said. Your name would be **Hypos** or something if you are "PvP enabled" after attacking a tower, even by accident.

To my knowledge, I did not attack the towers. I was defending a tower of my faction and the area was 25%, not yet 5%.

I did make a point of selecting myself to look at my name. I did not see the ** marking. Since my guild also has towers, I don't think I'm supposed to ever get that marking.

But I definitely got a message that said there was no grace period because I was already in combat.

Sorry, can't think of any other reasons. All we can hope is that this does not happen again..
