When is ZOS going to address the worsening "Stuck in Combat" bug in PvP????

Well dying for me helps because usually I run without group, after death I have never been stuck in combat thus it can be connected with group. It always used to work like that whenever your group member is in combat you are to, but only when in sight distance. When you were further it didn't put you in combat.

Sadly, i normally run solo out there as well lol. Group vs non-grouped ive been having similar issues. although it DOES happen more often when im grouped. which is- to say the least- one of the stupidest issues to have with combat. lol group members in combat should never have been part of the "you are in combat" design imo.

I don't know if this has been mentioned or not but in Cyrodiil, if you are stuck in combat either make essence of ravage health (breaks combat by killing your character) or fight a wolf or some other pve wildlife (this breaks combat because you finish the fight) The previous two have worked for me 99% of the time.

Dying has not been helping my issue most of the time- but i didn't think of trying to use an npc as a scapegoat! Not a bad idea, i'll check it out! thank you

From another thread...

“Stuck in Combat: Unfortunately while ZOS has engineers working on this issue, it’s there and it’s going to be there until they get a handle on the issue. This prompted frustration and contention. ZOS made it clear they do not want to implement “band-aid” fixes and that the in-combat state was a core feature necessary for numerous combat systems. They indicated that they suffer the same bug and are also frustrated with it.

After some pressing, it became clear that getting passionate over the issue is not going to alleviate the situation, fix the bug, or prompt useful discussion. That being said, there are some things that ZOS indicated they are agreeable with to make it such that this super frustrating bug isn’t so destructive. One thing they specifically mentioned was they saw no reason why being in combat ought to prevent the use of the transitus wayshrines. Another possibility that perhaps can be explored is at least being able to change quickslots. I know this is not what anyone was looking for, but it is what it is and if you’re going to play Cyrodiil next update, then I highly suggest you channel your frustrations into useful suggestions that can make PvP playable while being stuck in combat as ZOS indicated that is something that they can do.”

So...in a nutshell, it’s here to stay for a while. Until their engineers can find a solution. And unfortunately, I don’t think it’s high up on their priority list. So I did the only thing I could do...which was to cancel my sub and not buy the new expansion.

Yes, they did make mention somewhere else too after this meeting with the class reps (where i believe this excerpt is from, yes? the forum post about that meeting?) that they are looking into the transits and quick slot as a compromise while they try to find further ways to actually repair things. The main issue i feel they are not willing to own up to though is that yes, this is a bug that has been around a loooong time. BUT- it has gotten exponentially worse game-wide since the launch of Murkmire. SOMETHING they did between Summerset and Murkmire aggravated the problem. I've been in PvP for quite a bit of my eso life and this has only become a serious issue for me personally, and those im close to in game, since then. So if they could start looking at what those base game building block changes were they made between those two updates then MAYBE they could find the source of the issue.

Opening crown store and leaving it open for a minute often fixes it... I kid you not... priorities

It's so bloody irritating, and it's not limited to PvP.

The truly sad part is they had it figured out. There was a patch not that long ago that really let you out of combat after not taking or doing damage for 6 seconds. But then they proceeded to break it again in the very next patch.

I think that's why they are refusing to do anymore "fixes" till they feel they have a permanent solution. Maybe with this new Update it's laying the groundwork for better repairs? :crossing my fingers:

D0PAMINE · February 2019

Ravage Health Pots are no longer working for me

xaraan · March 2019

This bug needs fixed. It's unacceptable.

I sat at one keep after a fight and watching all three rss at another flip individually, then at another keep, then watch a keep flag and flip before i could even try and port.

You can't expect eso can keep bring news and also fix error in games.
Lern to deal with bugs and error it will never get better.

Funny how after reading the Q&A's from the recent event they had, this seems to be pretty much spot on to what zos is thinking.

Vizikul · March 2019

They would like to fix it but the devs are also stuck in combat

zaria · March 2019

I got this a lot overland in delves with VO and other players in area so full stamina bar but can not break free nor cc.
Note this is delve mobs.

NinchiTV · March 2019

Bump because its actually AMAZIN this hasn't been fixed yet.

Karivaa · March 2019

This bug is worst on my warden than any other toon I have.

Dragneel1207 · March 2019

never

Bosov · March 2019

This bug is so annoying... today i had to sprint from Sejanus to Alessia (where i couldnt cap a resource because a invisable guard kept stunning me and preventing me to turn a flag... but that is another bug), back to Sejanus after some fighting at Alessia and after that to brk. That whole period i couldnt use my mount. It must have been about 10/15 minutes with some combat inbetween every so often.

Why even bother buying all the crownstore mounts if you cant use them anyway?

Aftermath88 · April 2019

I've been having the same issue happening to me over the past couple of months. Suddenly get pulled into combat while just sitting at the shrine in a keep (not in a group). Maybe I'll kill someone and then I'm stuck in combat, what feels like, forever. Running from one keep to another and still in combat for a while. I've recently been submitting feedback, in game, when this occurs. Last night, I sent in three tickets and ran from one keep to another before the combat ended. This is ridiculous and seems to be getting worse. ZOS needs to take some of those millions of $$ that we give them and fix these stupid issues.

Don't worry, apparently there is a cash shop item in the works that will help out with that. Hopefully it will be ready for the upcoming expansion.

Actualy poeple would cry agaisnt it. So it will be character bound and free but locked behind one of the most boring grind they can think of then, you'll be able to purchase it for your alt from the crown store.

And if I hear "We're looking into it," I'm going to say that's no longer good enough.

FierceSam · April 2019

They fixed it long ago, but the lag is so bad it hasn’t reached us yet

Thunderclap · April 2019

Is not fixed yet. I have ask to check this on the PTS but I don't get an answer.

daemonios · April 2019

I don't know if this is related, but the entire agroing/deagroing is pretty bad in ESO.

For instance in PvE you can try to run past some baddies and agro them, they will follow you way past their "leash" range (the point at which they should deagro and return to their original spot) and attack you. Only when they land a blow on you or when you land a blow on them do they suddenly realize they're that far away from home, so they turn back. Except that sometimes they get confused, so they keep agroing and deagroing until you move even further away.

In dungeons this may be the cause for the inability to go through doors, i.e. maybe some random enemy didn't deagro properly. In PvP it may cause the stuck in combat bug. Or it might be something else. In any case, I feel it shouldn't take 5 years to introduce a sanity check on the "in combat" status. If in the past 30 seconds tops you haven't dealt or received damage, just turn off "in combat" status regardless of any other consideration.

richo262 · April 2019

They should just remove the Rapid Maneuver skill and have it so that if you HOLD down "H" it is like an emergency escape.

So you can mount even in combat, you get the Rapid Maneuver buff, but the cost is, your horse loses 90% of its stamina. So trying to escape you really are vulnerable to being dismounted by NPC / Players.

Obviously fix the mount bug as it is, but it just seems silly that the most obvious times you would want to mount up is the times you cannot.

Hi and welcome to the community of frustrated pvp players! We enjoy that a new member has arrived and with him all the problems that we already have and know.

From all our experience and knowledge we suggest you to do the following to minimize the impact of the bad status of pvp.

One option is to complain for the merely act of complain. You will get no answers and you will see not solutions but at least you will be able to let it out.

The second option is to change from game. That would be the most logical but because this is anyways a good game and there is no other, then we have no options.

The third option is to accept everything and play this game broken, with all the bugs, bad quality and pvp inattention zos offer to their customers.

I hope we helped you and again welcome to the community! We see us stucks in loading screens, bgs queues and walking around in cirodill! Have a nice day!

lol just comment this on every thread I comment on honestly. too true my dude

Yasha · May 2019

@Joy_Division How did the meeting go? Any progress or feedback on the issue?

gp1680 · May 2019

It is amazing that this game-breaking bug can’t be fixed by the devs in this game. Absolutely pathetic. Quite typical of the lack of interest in PVP on the part of ZOS.

ecru · May 2019

It gets worse as the lag gets worse. Which means I only expect this problem to get worse, since the lag has only ever gotten worse.

usmguy1234 · May 2019

Any class with pets exacerbates this issue as well.
