Feel free to add more to this list, these are what came to me off the top of my head. Hopefully putting the bugs and issues in one place makes it easier for Zenimax to identify the issues and fix them.

1. Nirnhoned 2h weapons + Light armor providing nearly 100% spell penetration and bugged bonus damage
-Check to see if this has been fixed and that nirnhoned gives the correct amount of spell penetration

2. Radiant Destruction (and morphs) having no counters (purge, cloak, cleanse, etc.)
-Check to see if this ability can now be countered by purge, cloak, cleanse, etc... as can other channeled abilities

3. Unbreakable CC caused by getting hit with an immobilize and hard CC at the exact same time, or multiple CC's at the same time
-Check to see if "break free" works or if permanent unbreakable CC remains in the game

4. Unresponsive controls due to hitting light attack or left mouse button just before issuing a command
-Check to see if the game still ignores commands shortly after pushing light attack/LMB, making the game feel unresponsive, or if this has been improved. Simple test is to hit light attack/LMB and then hit weapon switch right after within a few miliseconds. In 1.6, the weapon switch will be completely ignored.

5. Unplayable Cyrodil Lag
-Check to see if groups of more than 8 people vs 8 people cause the game to start ignoring player inputs and causing lag

6. Unresponsive Controls While Being Focus Fired in PVP
-Check to see if more than 3 people are focus firing one player in a pvp scenario, including throwing soft and hard CC's, the game begins ignoring up to 50% of the targeted players actions, as if they never even pushed the buttons.

7. Missing Alliance Indicators and Healthbars
-Check to see if alliance indicators randomly disappear, making it extremely difficult to distinguish friends and foes in PVP.

8. Health Bar Desyncs
-Check to see if shielding yourself multiple times with different damage shields, having them be destroyed, and reshielding, causes your health bar to bug out and become unreadable. Also check to see if DK's and Defensive Posture reflecting your attacks causes your health displayed to be inaccurate

9. Champion Traits Not Working Or Not Showing On Tooltips
-Check to see if the armor you get from the armor talents actually reduces incoming damage, it didn't in many of the previous patches
-Check to see if healing bonus "blessed" improves healing from momentum, vigor, and purge(cleanse), the tooltip doesnt change.
-Check to see if "healing recieved" champion talent improves healing taken from momentum, vigor, and purge(cleanse) at all
-Check to see if "mighty" improves base damage and crit damage almost as much as crit damage talent improves only crit damage
-Check to see if the DOT damage reduction champion talent reduces damage taken from channeled abilities, or if its even intended

10. Rally often does not heal at the end of its duration
-Check to see if the bug has been fixed

    Yep, pretty tired of my horse stubbing its hooves on grass.

    Also, elemental resistance like through champion points or having Dunmer passives is causing players to actually take more damage from fire. (I haven't personally tested this but a guildmate did and reported it in a meeting with ZOS)

    This won't get fixed because it's an issue with the game engine. They even confirmed this by saying more hardware won't fix the issue.

    The only fix would be to rewrite the game engine and that isn't going to happen.

    Horse thing is not an easy fix. Its due to the server catching up with your location, you hit a wall for a small moment because your locations desynced. Since the PvP servers have more lag issues, you get this effect far more often then in the open world.

    TL;DR: Once they fix server side lag, the horse will be fixed.

    The horse issue is more likely related to a 'fix' they implemented to horses getting stopped by small rocks etc. than anything else. Otherwise this issue would have been present pre-1.6, which it wasn't.

    I have encountered a bug a few times by. It's quite simple little bug, and also quite deadly. The bug will cause my healthbar permanent stuck at some random health % - often around 50ish% so I have no maybe 16k hp instead of previous 26k. This is no desync. After the battle, i can purify and heal and it will not change NEVER - untill I relog or die. If I take damage during the bug, i can heal up to the point where the game 'thinks' im at max hp, when i really need a 1/3 or more. I have speculated that rememberence (templar heal ulti) in some ways causes this - so far it's my best bid on a culprit - or if any1 know what's going?

    If the lag is an engine problem, how come there wasn't this problem in prior patch iterations? Did they only stuff up the engine in patches 1.3 to 1.6?

    Detect potion for 40sec is killing Cloaking NB + Radiant Destruction (with no counter)

    Lag is the main reason I took a break a week back. Until they fix it I won't come back.

    Be careful, any talk of lag now is an excuse to lock the thread with a link pointing you to the 'official' developer discussion thread, in that part of the forum that no one looks at. aka, we can't have all our new players reading these negative threads in the main sections.

    We really have to stop saying that Restraint Destruction has no counters. Just stop. It's a 3 second long channel that leave the Templar defenseless to whatever you do. This does not even get into the fact it can be blocked, healed through, or mitigated by a damage shield.

    And what is it with the idea that it can be purged? There is nothing to be purged...you get hit, you take damage. Heavy attacks cant be purged. The vampire feed can't be purged. The storm atronach channel can't be purged. When I can purge wrecking blows and impales then let this be purged.

    As far as issues:

    1) FIX the alliance war indicators. Waited an hour to get into Cyrodiil and had to leave immediately to fix this which meant entering into another queue. This should have absolute top priority over everything else in the game.

    2) Lag.

    3) Lag

    4) Lag

    5) Lack of meaning for 95% of the beautiful map outside the keep areas.

    1. Horses keep stopping randomly.

    2. Also not sure if everyone has some crashing issues every now and again in PvP like my guildmates and I have but that's not going to keep people in PvP.

    3. Need more to do in Cyrodiil like others said. Put my idea in the Cyrodiil Performance thread.


    For people having problems with Radiant Destruction try to charge at the Templar casting it with any charge skill (Critical Charge, Invasion etc.) I have had success interrupting it on my DK with Shield Charge. Nice thread, list would have been longer but most were said already.

    My top issues are
    - Indicators not showing
    - Lag (not fps drop, but the other kind: skills not responding, effects not triggering, doors and horses not working)

    Those two are show stoppers. When these are resolved, we will see what other bugs are most important. As it is now, we can't even judge the balance correctly because any tactical manuever isn't possible because of the lags.

    I'm writing this with frustration,

    You can get stucked in structures after leaping/charging abilities.
    Skill queue is broken. When you're focused you can't use your abilities.
    Skills are still unresponsive.
    Fall damage bug is real.
    Weapon swap is still crap.
    When you macro dodge roll you'll get 0 damage.
    These 2 exploiters are ruining the game and still playing with us (NA). When you talk about them your topics are getting locked.
    Champion system is buggy.
    Full set of nirnhoned making you almost immune to magic damage.
    Infinite loading screens are still here annoying us.
    You can still fall through the world.
    You can still stuck in combat, can't mount up, can't port to keeps.
    Lag is real.

    Good work on locking campains and stopping easy camp. guesting and emp trading. (coming with next update)
    But, (imo) getting zerged or getting one shotted by broken abilities are not really game changers. Bugs and exploits are.

    I'm not sure if these things will be fixed with next major update or not. So fingers crossed. Archiving the game and giving devs a year or two to fix everything is still an option. People play games to relax right?

    1. Being stuck in combat and can't hide or mount horse.
    2. Radiant Destruction is lame on so many levels.
    3. Crystal Fragments, there is a reason good players are embarrassed to use it.
    4. Fear- make it reliable to break and provide some timer immunity.
    5. Sorcs are superior in all 3 areas, mobility, defence and DPS.
    6. Stupbbing my toe on every darn little pebble on the ground.
    7. Constant crippling LAG...
