    ^This annoys me still...

    Not sure if this is by design or a bug. They probably have your characters check for mail when you login, and at certain timed intervals during the game. If you wait long enough, you will get your mail. However, it’s usually faster if you just log off and back in, which most of us do because we are in a hurry to get our mailed goodies :)

    One bug that has been around for quite sometime is the one where you have a four man premade group, you queue for a dungeon, and it says someone in your group has declined the queue request when you know that they actually haven’t. One of the many long standing Group Finder bugs.

    That's definitely intended and not a bug. You do different animations during different types of crafting, and for some of them (like tasting your food as you're crafting food or drinks, holding jewelry up to your eye, etc) your face can't be covered for the animation to make any sense, so the hide helmet option gets invoked. It's the same as when certain emotes (like eating or drinking) temporarily remove whatever you've got on your head.

    Can't say this is the oldest bug, but the sprint bug (which they are aware of but apparently can't fix) has been giving me fits for over a year now. :/

    I've been playing since shortly after launch on consoles, and it's disheartening to have this thread remind me of the bugs that we've been suffering through for years:

    1. Hard Crashes to Dashboard in Cyrodiil
    2. Unusually long load screens
    3. Mail not being received until switching zones - admittedly this seems to be working better than back in the day

    It's still rare, but when you mount up the camera jumps all the way from yesterday till it catches up to your character.
    It's not that rare, and it drives me bloody nuts. Especially when it stutters and rewinds 10 times or more. Yeah, I grabbed my horse (okay, wolf) because I was feeling impatient and really wanted to get going, but this "only" 10 or 20 seconds that I have to sit immoble because I'm blind while the camera faffs about feels like an eternity sometimes.

    What do you think, whats the oldest one?

    Yeah it's not a "feature" cause it doesn't help you with anything. It happens though so you can feel more attached to your character while it's doing something like that.

    Technically, it's animation cancelling. It wasn't really intended at first, but Devs stopped trying to fix ita dn just started designing around it which is terrible.

    This.

    Not a bug...poor design yes, but not a bug. It makes sense though.

    This didn't use to be the case in WoW, really the first MMO to use this style of mail system. The system was so overloaded though for the first few months, maybe year of the game you would send something or buy it from the AH and you were lucky to get in that day, even if you changed zones, or logged out and back in. So they to put in an hour (I believe) buffer at the time to space out when stuff that is bought or sent would arrive.

    So being able to log out and change zones to speed it up is getting around protective system that is place So obviously they could lower the time, but there has to be something.

Travel time abilities hitting you after death. I could do this all day.

    Oldest bugs I know are the Shalk's in Stonefalls. :trollface:

    I think what he might be referring to is that as of late your hat does not come back on when you leave the crafting table.

    Had more of it lately, wonder if its client only or visible to others? Had been a bit stupid if I looked unarmed in an dungeon :)

    They talked about this and it's not technically a bug. It's just how the server stuff works.

    The funny thing is that sometimes the helm goes off, and others it doesn't. I prefer it doesn't because it's really unimmersive when it does.

    It seem to base on the actual helm you are wearing cover your whole face or not. Not the one you override with outfit system or costumes.

    There are to many bugs in this game so it's hard to pin point what the oldest one is.
