Folly Bug Is Folly

Soooo... Last night, I was running around on my v2 Sorc in Reaper's March (AD) and figured I'd go collect some skyshards that I'd missed. One of them happened to be in Fardir's Folly. After going through and killing the enemies to get to the skyshard, I got lazy and decided to just bolt through to the end of the dungeon, unintentionally aggro'ing all the mobs along the way but planning to just let them reset by themselves once I got too far from their initial location. When I reached the boss, I still had enemies aggro'd on me, so I went to the ayleid gate to try to de-aggro them... It didn't work. I sat for 10+ minutes in combat with invisible enemies attacking me the entire time; I was even getting projectiles thrown at me through the wall.

After 10+ minutes sitting by that gate and trying to keep up my shield so I wouldn't die (in the hopes that they would reset sooner or later and that I wouldn't have to spend a little extra gold and a soul gem for my death because of a bug), I went up the stairs to try to fight the boss even with the invisible enemies attacking me, and they stopped. When I attempted to attack the boss, none of my abilities would work other than ward. Even BE. Any time I tried to use them, they'd cancel.

So I decided to sneak. Just sitting in place in sneak, my stam started draining, and even when it ran out and I went back in sneak after letting it regen a bit, it continued when I got back into sneak. Getting frustrated, I headed back down to leave the dungeon, and the assault from the invisible enemies resumed, preventing me from going through the gate. Again, I sat for another 10+ minutes, hoping for them to stop. They didn't.

Going back to the top, I tried attacking the mobs, and had the same problem as with the boss. Then I ran over to them and they wouldn't aggro, even though I was standing right by them. Soon after trying that, I don't know what I did or the game did or if it had anything to do with a few players who came though the dungeon and killing the mobs, but the enemies finally aggro'd and I could attack them, and I was able to complete the dungeon.

A few screenshots:

This was the first screenshot. No enemies in sight, yet I'm getting attacked. Notice the time on the Wykkyd's toolbar at the bottom, but mind you, I had already been standing there for a few minutes before taking the screenshot.


In this one, the faint circle animation for one of the projectiles can be seen coming from the wall to the right.


Chilling by the mobs without taking aggro, yet unable to attack.


Finally!! Completed. Aaaannndddd... Notice the time on the toolbar now.


I very highly doubt this was caused by lag because, as seen in the screenshots, my ping didn't go over 300 (my normal is 180-400), and the fps is higher than I normally get (normal is 4-12, but 10-31 in dungeons like these isn't uncommon, depending if I'm doing anything and where I am in the dungeon).

I guess the folly really is in passing through quickly. ;b (The skyshard's hint is

Spoiler

The folly is in passing through quickly.

So, get it?)

@ZOS_GinaBruno Able to get this looked into? Don't want anyone else potentially having to spend 20+ minutes like I did trying to get this bug (or these bugs?) to go away.
