Charge Skills broken still...

I am sure anyone that uses a charge, whether the Templar class charge or the 1h/shield charge, will know what I am referring too.

Two major problems affecting charge skills currently in the game.

1. Getting stuck in animation for 10-20 seconds, usually resulting in death; unless you can waste a potion to get yourself unstuck. (Mine is usually on CD when this happens.....)
2. When you charge a target, once you reach your target; you get permanently stuck to the ground. You cannot turn your character model, you cannot really do much of anything and at some point your camera will get stuck so you can no longer zoom in/out.

Number 1 has been an issue since the start of this game and out of ALL the threads that talk about it, I have yet to see ZOS mention they are doing anything about it. It happens during lag the worst, but still happens when there is not lag.

Number 2 is a recent phenomenon since 1.6; which it seems to be happening more and more frequently now.

So with charge skills being broken, how do classes without escape abilities supposed to match up to the other two classes that have escape abilities? I am fine with classes that have escape abilities, but the hard counter to escape abilities are gap closers and when those bug out as often as they do; how is that considered balanced? When will we see charge skills getting fixed? Any time soon?

    How do you fix #2 in game (like #1 = potion)? Happened to me twice yesterday in the span of 2hours. I had to log out both times.

    Happened when I was using a 2h sword charge both times. And it was laggy at the time.

    I have gotten stuck in the animation before using Invasion from the 1H/S line. However I think that has to do some with LOS issues. LOS is from your characters eyes, not the Camera LOS. If the character does not have LOS, it can get confused sometimes and then it runs in place. Note, there have been times when I am sure LOS is there for the character and I have issues, either the running in place, or the character does not actually move.

    I have not used this skill many times since 1.6 dropped, but it seems to be Business as Usual post 1.6, which means most of the time it works, sometimes it does not.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    The only fixes I have been able to do are either die or alt-f4. Nothing else seems to work.
