ZOS, the Devs, and Support knows about those, but there's nothing you as a player are going to be able to do about most of those. Those are issues that are pretty built into how the game works (or doesn't work).

Load Screens during combat and events - yeah, that's been a problem for years in Cyrodiil. I'll get one at least once every night if I'm in a keep as the flags flip. If I'm lucky, I don't die while I'm in the loading screen.

Disconnects during combat - again, I get this one pretty often in Cyrodiil. Some nights, I only crash when we're riding into a heavily contested keep, which is something that impacts a lot of players when it comes to fights with lots and lots of players. Other nights, I'm disconnecting left and right. About the only thing I've found that helps is making sure my graphics card is absolutely up-to-date, but even that doesn't save me from DCs during heavy fighting.

Queues have been broken since...before the Undaunted event two years ago, and they still haven't fixed the Dungeon groupfinder. Battlegrounds likewise is a known bug, and they haven't commented on it, that I know of. The BG one is hard, because the easy workaround would be to lessen the penalty for leaving a match to account for people leaving failed matches...but then you run the risk of people just quitting out of bad matches when they are losing.

I haven't had your mount bug, I confess. I'm seeing lots of issues with Rapid Manuevers. Since Wrathstone, I can cast Rapids and while it goes out to the other members of my group, I'm not getting the buff myself. Its really odd, because it works sometimes and not others.

In any case, I've come to the realization that ZOS moves very, very slowly when it comes to fixing bugs AND they prefer not to acknowledge a bug until they have a fix ready to roll out.

I guess I am picky. I feel like when you give money for a product, especially entertainment, you want it to fulfill that value. For me... PvP is my fun outlet. I like PvE sure... but PvP is where the rush is. I just want to be able to actually enjoy it. My first scroll run I was disconnected twice before the cap which was pretty disheartening. I spent all this time reading, learning, doing math on builds only to get out there and realize that I wasn't going to die to just players online. Game mechanics or issues were also going to kill me repeatedly.

I am understanding of bugs... just not perpetual ones I suppose. Community acknowledgment goes a long way towards a long-term solution.

I didn't think of this until I read your reply.

ZOS is attempting some long-term solutions to Cyrodiil. Unfortunately, I don't really see them working out.

Namely, ZOS has stated that one of the major factors in causing the Cyrodiil lag is having big faction-stack fights. So they've taken some steps to spread out the fights to different objectives. They buffed Dragonclaw, Drakelowe, and Brindle. They added 3 new outposts and made the 3 PVP towns more important. They added the collapsible milegate and bridges to funnel players down alternate paths.

Unfortunately, I don't think its worked, precisely because some objectives are more important than others. The Emp ring keeps still see the majority of the fighting. Scroll takes still draw tons of players because of the value of the scroll at 10 points each. Cyrodiil's PVP still rewards working together as a faction stack or being in a large organized raid or semi-organized zerg (by design, since the zone is supposed to be for groups of 2 to 24 players).

We'll see how removing IC from Cyrodiil works out, if that's a good benefit.

But what I take away from all that - and I may be wrong here - is that ZOS really doesn't know how to tackle the lag except by trying to change player behavior and entice them to spread out across the map instead of large groups fighting over the same important objectives.

They are aware of all of those bugs. Here are some bugs I have been waiting for statements on:

ZOS' official Long loading screen megathread for infinite loadscreens / loadscreens into a crash (Nov 2017) - https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/380707/main-thread-for-long-loading-screens

Sprint bug thread (January 2018) - https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/392283/2h-attack-bug-na-ps4-causes-character-lockout#latest

Resource drain bug (from before March 2018) - https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/399843/random-resource-drain-still-not-fixed

On top of this - Stuck in combat bug, group finder problems, disconnecting when a zerg arrives in Cyrodiil, general disconnect problems and login issues, skill lag and general server lag / ping spikes, etc.

At this point I'm sure they're aware and still not fixing it. They probably don't know what causes some of the bugs. For example the rez bug in vet Cloudrest trial, we're already on the next expansion and it's still there

many of the bugs being discussed are actually features designed to fix something that was way worse than the bug.
Stuck in combat = feature
load screens during combat = feature
weapon swap bug = feature
crashing when entering an over populated keep = a feature

I play in Cyrodiil almost exclusively, so for me the biggest problem so far is the combat bug. There is nothing more frustrating that getting into a short battle then being unable to mount for the next 10-20 minutes which reduces you to cooling your heels at some keep or running on foot to the next objective, which then exposes you to attack.

I am convinced that this isn't a bug but a designed feature the mods put in to slow down gameplay. I would think it would be better to look for ways to improve the game's performance rather than force players into ridiculous situations like that.
