It actually got worse with this patch. Today I was unable to swap gear/skills in pvp as long as anyone in my group was fighting or using a siege miles away...

Ya the Combat Bug is a pain. If ZOS was going to fix it they would have by now. But that bring up another Question. Can they fix it. And yes I have to agree the bug seems of have gotten worse.

This will never be fixed. Never ever. It is a feature... not a bug.

it is part of the lazy programming done by ZoS so technically it is a feature that they are just to lazy to actually implement properly.Solving what they wanted to be solved could have been done so much simpler than the kindergarten BASIC implementation I last saw used on my commodore 64.

Plenty of times I had to search for a tall cliff to suicide off of (in game) simply because it's the only way I know that guarantees to drop combat. This is in pvp ofcourse.

While we're complaining about unfixed bugs - how's that sprint bug fix going, ZoS? Still stumped?

The slaughterfish of Cyrodiil have gotten so many free meals from me this way...

Sometimes typing /reloadui helped me with that, but I agree it was always very annoying. It's not only happening in Cyrodiil, in some group dungeons you're also stuck in combat after a boss, example the forelast dragon boss in Vaults of Madness or the melee boss on the stairs in both Wayrest Sewers versions. Usually /reloadui helps there as well, sometimes not immediately but after a few seconds anyway.

@ZOS_GinaBruno , I've currently been stuck in combat for over 10 minutes presently despite not having been anywhere near and active battle. Please have someone look at this bug. It's crippling in Cyro. You can switch skills, mount, port, even check mail; and it happens way to often.

They are incapable of fixing it. At this point there isn't much they are capable of when it comes to maintenance and fixing issues.

My observation regarding this bug:
1. It only occures if you are fighting a group (grouped players). Does not occure when fighting solo players or ungrouped players.
2. "Ball groups" with permafrost, destro ulti, steel tornado skills setup have a tendency to cause it in 100% cases.
3. Solo players using those skills seems to not couse this bug.
4. You dont necessary have to fight (deal or receive dmg) to be in combat. All it takes is a large group just to be near - for example - If I stay inside inner keep that is not even tagged and a ball group will take 1 resource - all of the sudden I am in combat.
5. The only 2 ways (as far as I know) to get rid of "in combat" status:
1. Kill of a group that "caused" it.
2. Suicide (example: fall dmg inside the keep).
And here is the wierdest part:
I remember when a couple of days ago we took Sejanus outpost. There was a ball group defending it but eventually they failed and simply run off to take Drake. I was waiting 5 min in an empty outpost and was still in combat. Ok, since I was in combat I could not port or mount - so I went back to BRK (on foot). Still in combat. Went back to Arrius (on foot). Still in combat. Went back to Kings (on foot). Still in combat. At this point I simply suicided.
The wierdest thing is I had no option to respawn here or at the wayshrine. The game simply treated this as if i died to other player although all I had on my death recap was fall dmg. The last dmg taken by an actual player was 30 min ago.
