Is there a way to report a player using a particular glitch that involves entering a keep and leaving at will.

I dont want to reveal full details or else other people will start doing it ofc but I have the clip. How do I communicate this with ZOS?

Thank you

    Use the Report Player option in the menu where you turn in Bug Reports. You'll need their character name or @name. I typically write a description of what happened and attach any screenshots/evidence to the form email they send thanking me for the report.

    To be fair sometimes the player might not even notice, ive had it myself where ive ran into a broken wall and found myself the only EP in the keep and been like *HUH* and had to run up the steps and back down to outside. Only when i had a friend tell me to be careful did i realise what happened.

    The same works the other way to, ive been running up to a gate that all EP are entering but for me its still up and im stood outside against a gate at 0% hp.

    Yes atm there are a lot of bugs in cyrodiil, where walls are there but not for others and they can just walk up through it. As above stated they may not be aware. I was in group with a friend who couldn't see the keep wall but the door was intact and walked around it.
    They really just need to fix pvp. But if you still want to report best to do it in game.

    Really? You didn't noticed the wall was down yet the door was still there. Even when you had to go around the door.

    This happened earlier, the group I was in ran into a keep that where there was fighting recently and both front doors looked as if they were open but we didnt realize it was glitched until another person in the group said the door was closed.

    There are missing textures everywhere in game.

    People are firing siege through the walls, who can say if intentional.

    I played Cyrodill all today and the most annoying thing was broken sloads, the next was missing textures in keep walls, outpost walls, rocks and even the landscape disappeared totally for me.

    That's happened to me too, where I crashed out in the middle of intense fighting on the flags but log back in, still alive, in the middle of the unflagged enemy keep.

    I just stow my weapons and let the NPC guards kill me because if the game weren't broken it would have respawned me at my Home Gate. I'm not going to take advantage of the game letting me log back into the keep.

    I wouldn’t report it.

    The walls appear down to some players.
    Of course I like steak. I'm a Nord, aren't I?

    really shouldn't report players for something they cant control. Just the other day I ran through the front door of a keep that my alliance was attacking. my friend in my group couldn't run through the front door cuz it was still up for him. PVP is broken af right now so I wouldn't stress about it

    There's a clear difference between the guy that finds themselves on the other side of a wall that should be there, and tries to get out... and someone using a wall for line of sight to walk in, fight, walk out and repeat it several times.

    There's also a difference when you see a whole organized raid choose to walk through a wall where the door is still standing -- clearly glitched.

    "Out of their control" - yeah like that guy that told me to go ...something... myself because I kept sniping him every time he ran through a 100% wall in Sej and tried to take it when no one was looking without proper siege ? I'm sure he couldn't help it, it was accidental 10 times.

    Or those players that run through a full wall and try to destro bomb your alliance on a back flag when you are defending the FD and the wall isn't broken...This has been an educational weekend. I won't lie though, its pretty fun to be the one to stop those guys abusing bugs :D

    It probably seems like fun until you realise 2 things:

    Your paying ££ to stop people abusing bugs;

    Your doing more than ZOS is and it is there responsibility to do so, not players per say.

    The worse thing I have been seeing more out in the open is two fractions working together both zerg size~ It is really disheartening to see such large-scale cheating getting worse~ :/

    If the person exits start away then I would agree but my guess they aren't so in that case yes they should be reported it's not if people aren't aware of this issue

    You mean the ambush one? The one that causes players to get in the keep even if they don't want to and die miserably to the players in the keep? The one that has been in the game since players have memory and have never been fixed?

    At this point, 4 years into the game, i find myself wondering; do we wanna scrutinize the players for bending over and picking up money just laying on the ground? Or come down hard on zos bc thier game doesnt function?

    Your own friend saw you cheat and told you to stop.

    This is something I worried about and wrote a post about. We needed ZOS to fix this way quicker. They ignored the problem and I do t want some mass banning of pvp players due to ZOS oversight. Pvp populations are very low on console already from the freezing. Last thing we need is 100 people getting 1-4 weeks bans.

    No reason for faked astonishment.

    I had that bug myself. When you see it, you dont think the wall is bugged. You think the door is bugged since you obviously can walk around it and the wall is open. And you are not the only one either, the bug is normally happening to several (but not necessarily all) people at the same time. So you see them walking through the gaping hole and follow them and chat about the broken door.

    Btw: reported that specific bug 3 weeks ago to ZOS including screenshots. Havent heard a single word about them planning to fix it any time soon.

    There's that glitch/exploit but I suspect the OP is referring to this latest in ZOS' issues with breaking PVP: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/417435/the-invisible-postern-wall-glitch#latest

    Unfortunately, there are also the people who are getting ZOS’d with FreezeFrame than returning to game after the Outpost/Inner has flip’d...to the casual observer they would of appeared to of used the exploit...when in fact they are just victims of ZOS.

    So, any Reported offence should be backed with obvious walk through video
