New Bugs - Lag not fixed

Today I discovered a few new bugs in Cyrodil - Wabbajack Campaign:
1) Postern doors are unreliable after being repaired. Sometimes they work - sometimes they don't. I have not found a rhyme or reason for their functionality post repair - or non functionality post repair at this point. Sometimes you get the mini load screen when the wall re-appears sometimes you don't - but I cannot quantify if the mini load screen makes the door work correctly or not as I have seen both cases occur on different keeps. Could this be keep specific?
2) Lag problem is not solved so many of the issues with lag that have been occurring are still prevalent. Abilities not going off but costing mana/stamina weapon swap does not work, etc etc ad infinitum regarding lag issues cited in numerous posts here. The lag was playable at times in the larger scale battles, but it is absolutely the largest factor in the outcome of battles. Groups are even assembling to utilize the lag for their advantage with PBAE bomb groups running retreating maneuvers to blitz into players from stealth causing mass lag and then trying to AE bomb the enemy group. If lag was not present - and in a few fights they got unlucky with the lag - enemy groups can counter with caltrops/negate magic and counter attack. However, I watched a few fights where they warped into enemy group and the group was dead before they knew anything was happening due to lag. Please - do the right thing and fix this or watch more and more of the avid PvP crowd you have get more and more unhappy with the gameplay.
3) Claiming keeps is still buggy. Though it does little good at the moment I have high hopes for where you will be taking this functionality in gchat warnings when guards get killed etc - but right now you can claim a keep and then not have it show up in guild info after logging off. Even though it shows on the cyrodil map - the guild info does not show it. Intriguing to say the least.
4) Forward camps are still buggy. Why can they not de-spawn all the time when 20 people rez at them? Sometimes they do...sometimes they don't. This seems such an easy code fix to a non software guy. Once 20 people rez - camp goes - then another one can be placed. This sometimes actually works - especially when you place it - and tell 20 people to rez RIGHT AWAY - and then the camp goes away. But, if those 20 people don't rez quickly - the camp bugs out becomes unusable and if the enemy does not burn it - you're out of luck till it slowly disintegrates.
Just a few of the things I ran into today. Not interested in constantly reporting bugs to ZOS at this point. I don't get paid to report bugs to you. I pay to play a game and just want the product to improve. Maybe, you could open a real test server and have an event where everyone could log into it and play on a test cyrodil. Maybe lock the live servers keeps for two days while you do this so people don't exploit the fact that people want to be on the test server (playing for fun and helping fix the game). People who do could get a little in game vanity costume or something. Then, you could really test the problems and run an ongoing log. You could schedule times for realms to assault keeps and other realms to defend. The logs from an event like that could lead to the problem and then you could really fix it - if it is fixable - which at this point I am not sure of.

Animus0724✭✭✭Most of these bugs aren't new, they've been there for a while now...I take pride in being an incredibly smart dumb ass, or an incredibly dumb smart ass, either way I'm awesome.

Xancathb16_ESO✭✭✭Yeah these have all been around since before launch.
I will point out however that pvp lag is actually worse after the patch, not better/solved. 3 crashes today -_-0 -
