I know there is several threads about being stuck while flying, but they don't seem to explain the particular bug I experienced just now.
While flying I went to an area for a quest I was working on and the monsters on the ground were able to attack me regardless of how high up I flew or how far away, even when I was well away from the area where they were I was still being hit by them. After a minute or two of this the character just got completely stuck in the air while the monsters that were at this point nowhere around me were still showing as hitting me and this continued until I died. After respawning my character was still showing as flying and still stuck.
I did resolve it by logging out and in, but I was wondering what the deal was with this? Or if anyone else had ever encountered this or could explain it to me? I thought maybe it had something to do with lag at first but I haven't been lagging or having any type of lag issues today and the game doesn't seem to be lagging at all.
