The Gold Road Chapter – which includes the Scribing system – and Update 42 is now available to test on the PTS! You can read the latest patch notes here: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/656454/

Please please please (!!!) fix the stuck in combat bug.

Not sure if this is still in the PTS but in the current patch I now get stuck in combat for 5+ minutes sometimes, especially in cyrodiil.

Please fix this long overdue bug, or remove combat status limitations entirely.

It makes no sense that because I'm in combat my character somehow forgets how to use doors or open things and it is really annoying that my mount refuses to return to this dimension because danger approaches. It's like yoshi at a ghost house with him I swear.

    That bug has been here since beta and absolutely will not be fixed since we have complained about it since release and they never even attempted to fix it as far as i'm concerned.

    It's just it got worse this patch to such a point where I have run between 3+ keep battles without dropping combat.

    I found a fairly solid work around to fix this.

    When i have a long run ahead of me but i cant mount, all i need to do is pick up my laptop and listen to some calm relaxing music to ease my frustration. Rinse repeat until im out of combat, set down my laptop, start playing again.

    Works every time.

    Oh, this workaround works great for the usually long loading screens too!

    ZOS knows about it, @ZOS_BrianWheeler even ran into it during a Live Stream The Devs Play session.. but no word on them even looking into the issue.

    It's probably the most hated bug by the player base, but that doesn't seem to matter for ZOS.

    Or just remove combat limitations in general like allow mounting at any time.

    It was an interesting theory put forward by ZOS, that you may have healed a person who is still in combat, but completely inaccurate because ... the bug rarely happens to healers! It happens pretty much 100% of the the time to stamina builds that run Rally, though. It also happens in PvE. There is a trash mob right before Blood Spawn (or is it right before Praxin?) in Spindleclutch where the one NPC gets caught in the ceiling and cannot be killed. If you have Rally up when this happens, you will stay in combat and cannot open a door at end of dungeon. You have to go into sneak for a minute or so and just wait it out. Meanwhile, the healer has long since gone through that door because he was not in combat.

    The bug seems to be that if you have Rally up (and maybe other skills, too, but Rally seems to be the main culprit) at the moment when you should have left combat, you do not leave combat. And then the in-combat/out-of-combat status seems to get bugged. You end up in combat until some kind of multiple minute cooldown passes by.

    It's the Healing over time component that causes this. Healers using Mutagene have the exact same issues.

    HoTs are a large part of it, but not the only cause I think. Pretty sure I've had the issue when I hadn't used any HoT type heal the last couple of minutes (including Rally, Vigor, Mutagen and the likes)


    I've also had it persist over deaths.. ie trying to turn in the Cyro quest after being killed and unable to switch to Training gear because of being in-combat. That one certainly is a bug!


    Anyway think the entire playerbase pretty much agrees that it's a horrible problem.. bug or feature..
