Can't change levequest difficulty (possibly due to NPC being under attack?)

[Mychael]

I accidentally set the difficulty too high but decided to try it. After getting duo'd by mobs, I died and returned, tried to lower difficulty, but apparently was in combat.

You use the aetherite node, not the NPC.

It's a GC leve, so you use the NPC... Note the screenshot. It tells me "Levequest difficulty cannot be changed while you are engaged in combat."

Oh, I haven't done a GC leve in a long time so I guess I forgot.
Well anyways, it's a bug that happens from time to time that mobs don't de-aggro. You have to go back to them and get aggro again to fix it (or at least that's how it works for me).

I tried, but the NPC I was protecting died before I could run back. :,( So I thought I'd report it, and maybe they can fix the bugs. ^^;

They really need to do something about some of the lesser known bugs like this. Oh well, here's to 2.0!
