Phasing issue without warning in middle of quest
I was in a group trying to complete "Striking to the Heart" quest. We found there were long delays trying to interact with the quest NPC or click on the stones and /reloadui didn't help so we had to do the old logout/in trick again. However, we finally managed to complete and exited to talk to Queen Ayrenn and this is where the game did something I've never experienced before.
In the middle of talking to the Queen my character was attacked and killed by feral Bosmer!! This happened twice and my guild mates say they saw me going in/out of the instance zone almost like I was fading - they were not affected by the feral Bosmer. I put in 3 bug reports at this time. Logging out and back didn't solve the problem until I went back into the instance (through the doors) and picked up Indaenir again.
We moved on to another quest where we had to free the soldiers and close the portal - again I found myself unable to complete because the NPC was not showing up on my screen although I could see his marker. I had to log in/out for the NPC to materialise.
Then one of our other group members experienced a similar "fading/phasing) as we were completing the quest and she remained stuck inside it and had to fight her way back as the portal didn't activate for her.
If this isn't being caused by packet loss/latency because the EU server is still in the USA - then all I can think is the game itself isn't functioning as it should.
