List of game-breaking bugs since release + New Dark Brotherhood bugs __ In need of support please :)

Hello !
I've started playing ESO in BETA, and had a subscription from release until february 2016, I guess that qualifies me as a very faithful customer, to say the least.
Now, I keep an eye on the forums, and I have seen recently that some people are getting a lot of attention, very fast, and promises that the devs will work on a fix, and then news that the fix is ready, all that within a few days. Now, that was for « mementos » for example... Or for ugly clips on armor or for a bug on one (one!) quest... So, I'm going to write here, in hope that I will get as much attention, if not a lot more, than people who have complained about a few little items not sending the proper shiny lights, and qualifying that as « game-breaker ».
So here is a list of elements that are way beyond game-breaking, things that happen all the time during playing sessions, so much so that they have become part of the gaming experience. I love a lot of things about this game, but as many have posted on these forums before, I find it hard to still be coping with some bugs since release. Now maybe, it's something about my configuration that triggers some of them, and if I can get solve but a few, maybe it will give me some incentive to keep playing and maybe even to sub again.
Since the list of bugs is so very long, I haven't been reporting them all every time I am afflicted with them. Should I start making bug reports every single time I get one of these bugs ? It will mean sessions where I have to stop playing every 5 minutes to write a ticket, but I'll do what it takes.
This is a list of bugs that I have been dealing with since release. (been compiling this list for a while, but it's not exhaustive)
When logging back to the game before Dark Brotherhood, I would still be faced with that first list of problems, but my overall performances were rather ok.
After Dark Brotherhood release, I started suffering from :
Up until 06/06/2016, it was still playable, but since 07/06/2016, some things have gotten out of control.
And since computers specs and other details play their role, well they are :
Asus Z97-DELUXE
Cooler Master CM Storm Trooper
Corsair VENGEANCE PRO GOLD 2 x 8 Go DDR3 PC19200 CAS11
Corsair Hydro Series - H75
Corsair CS650 Series Modulaire - 650W
Intel Core i7 4770K
0noname Graveur SATA 22x - Noir - OEM INTEGRATION
Samsung Serie 840 Pro - 256 Go
Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Tri-X OC (UEFI) - 4 Go
Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 - SATA III 6 Gb/s - 2 To
I have tried in the past to adjust video configuration to optimize them, though it feels very very sad having to downgrade graphics with such a computer. I'm not very computer savy, but I can get things done with a step by step, so any measures that I can try, I will happily do. However, graphic changes haven't changed my in game performances at all.
As for my internet connection, it is not that great, however, I used to have rather correct performances aside from huge encounters in Cyrodiil until Dark Brotherhood. I would never have that awful ping in 10 vs 10 people battles in open field before.
I have a series of addons on, of course, and turning them off has never changed anything. But I will try again if certain addons are known as causing bugs (I have gotten rid of Minimap since ages for example).

- The guild bank bugs out when you ask the npc to open it, it keeps retrieving the items for ever. It can happen up to 5 times in a row and can occur again if you switch to another guild bank. (last verified 09/10/2016)
- There is no access to our guild stores at the banker in Cyrodiil.
- When you purge a fire ballista, the flames can remain on your character, even after you revive sometimes.
- You can remain stuck in charge as Templar with toppling charge, no skills possible for 40 seconds and animations is that you're casually holding a still luminous spear in hand. (still true up to 09/06/2016)
- When you die and revive in pvp sometimes you can't use a door. Sometimes you can weapon swap and it will « fix » it but not always.
- Sometimes you can't get back on your horse for a long period of time. I have noticed that this occurs no nearly only when I have used mutagen/rapid rgeneration on several people at the end of the battle. Actually, if I refresh this skill at that moment and there are people around, I think it could maintain that staus on for a long time. Does mutagen make the healer who cast it « share » an « in combat status » with the people he sent it on ?
- Ballistas sometimes shoot automatically right at the floor in front of you, or shoot right after cool-down on its own, in whichever direction you were looking at. This can happen up to 15 times in a row. (last verified 9/06/2016)
- Sometimes when you put down a Ballista, it will not be usable, you can't access it or put it away. (last verified 9/06/2016)
- It takes ages to dowload the patches ( likes aaaaaggeeeess), is that the « no peer to peer » problem ?
When logging back to the game before Dark Brotherhood, I would still be faced with that first list of problems, but my overall performances were rather ok.
After Dark Brotherhood release, I started suffering from :
- Sound cuts out in the middle of battles.
- While in combat in Cyrodiil, skills will not trigger, especially ultimates. (last verified 9/06/2016)
- During battles, my character will be teleported suddenly to weird places (not just lag or delay here, I actually pop up elsewhere completely)
- During battles, I will suddenly get a loading screen, then if the loading screen stops soon enough, I will understand that my character is falling through the ground, then I die, get a death recap, and can usually be raised on the spot where I « fell », where the laoding sreen started.
- I receive a mail entitled « Champion Reward 160 » by « System » on nearly each log on each of my characters. Up until 3 days ago (07/06/2016) it would occur on every single login, on each char. And it stopped for two days. And it started happening again today. (I have been into the Collections / DLC menu on each character and « collected » the Orsinium quest)
Up until 06/06/2016, it was still playable, but since 07/06/2016, some things have gotten out of control.
- Loading screens will happen, out of nowhere, regularly.
- Loading screens will last up to five times as long as they usually do, on revival in Cyrodiil for example.
- Ping is completely out of control.

✭✭✭✭✭A nice post with a breakdown of some issues.
There was a thread a while back where someone kept an updated list of all the games current issues updating it with Developer updates etc. ZOS even said on ESO Live how useful it was because some of the issues were not flagged in their system.
I hope this thread manages to do the same and bring to light some issues which need addressing.@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver

Lilarna✭✭✭Oh Turelus, do you have the link to that thread ? It could be interesting to put it here

Lilarna✭✭✭Are other people out there suffering from the same bugs ?
Have any of you managed to solve some of these issues by tweaking their configuration in any way ?
Some help would be really, really appreciated here 0 -

Yes, I suffer from MANY of the same bugs, most notably:
- Sound cut outs during big battles that doesn't return until a few sec after the battle is done
- Champ reward 160 mail on my non main, newly promoted toons
I also experience frequent crashes bow since the DB. About once an hour for no reason and in large group that escalates to about once every 15 mins. I used to crash due to memory leak but after the DB it can be anywhere doing anything. I cringe a bit when I open a door, charge into a big battle just riding my mount or even picking a freakin' flower! Wondering if this will cause a crash
Then there are OLD bugs that have NEVER been resolved like extremely long load screens when transporting places (some as long as 5 mins!). The usual time being 1-2 mins.
Variable speed mounts.........I would swear that Zenimax laced the countryside with invisible pockets of mud that slows me down to half speed regularly.
Memory leak (which I don't have a problem with atm because I crash WAY before the leak becomes apparent)
They need to FIX THESE ****************** bugs instead of concentrating on pushing out new content that just adds MORE bugs because I can't play in groups anymore which severely impairs my ability to play a MASSIVELY MULTI-Player RPG. I'm pretty much playing a single player game with others which is NOT what I signed up for. If this lack of bug squashing persists I might as well be playing some single player game that doesn't cost me money.

Lilarna✭✭✭Hello @ZOS_JessicaFolsom !
I took a look at the dev tracker and it seems that you are doing most of the follow up on bugs and such things. Is there a chance you could please check out my first post here and get some feedback on some of those bugs ?
That would be awesome
