Shade after 1,5 month, still major bugs

Shadow
Shadow Image (Summon Shade morph): Fixed an issue where you could not teleport to your shade if it was out of your line of sight
Known Issue: Teleporting to your shade will temporarily cause you to lose some character functionality, such as the ability to mount or interact with objects. We plan to fix this in a future patch, but in the meantime, you can swap weapons or reload as a temporary workaround.

Nice try ZOS, i give A for effort...

Jokes aside, shade is not fixed.
First, reapeteable, if u go out of the range of shade and use it it's not reseting, u need to w8 for it to expire to be able to use it again.
Second, during fights it's not working sometimes (even when u stand near it), still didnt find why it's happening. Tried to check, maybe it's something with more ppl (10+ ppl fight near sej, but on the other hand it wasnt working in 1v2), outposts, keeps, resources (didnt check yet in open cyrodill, bugs appear on outpost and resources for sure). Will write for sure if i will find sth, but pls, ZOS, it's 1,5 month and shade is not reliable, pls do sth with this...

Still broken for me also, unable to teleport most of the time in combat.

I always laugh every time i read the patch notes and see "Known Issue:"

PvP combat does not always allow me time to implement a "workaround"

The "Known issue" is the minor problem. Propably only case when it can impact on your gameplay is when u will try to enter keep after using shade nad forgot to swap weapons. But u will die propably before that, cuz u wont even be able to port

Done some mild testing in pve overland, it seems to work... like 60% of the time, so I guess zos in next patch will just call it a "rework" and update the tooltip to say "has a 60% chance to teleport"

Jokes aside, I pretty much came to almost same conclusion as OP that I have no idea why it works some of the times, tested if moving out range, out range activating it moving back in range, if target it was casted on dies, nothing seem to make any difference just sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't.

Only thing I really noticed was when it fails you're pretty much done and have to wait for it to de-spawn before putting another one down, even saying that a handful of times I'd spam teleport even after failing and it would just work.

Not really. I successfully teleported to shadow like 5 times out of 20 today (didnt work also when it was inside my LoS).

Swear it's disappearing sometimes when going out of range, I came back where it was put down but there was no pet/ally indicator or the shade itself but all my buff trackers were still saying it was active, even necro was still giving me 5pc buff for it being up.
