Allow changing of quick slot items while stuck in combat bug

This bug has been around forever, not being able to mount is annoying enough but being unable to change siege makes no sense. Do you think quick slots should be able to be changed while in combat as a work around for this bug seeing as it’s not going away anytime soon?

    I'm sick and tired of this "stuck in combat" nonsense.

    This is ludicrous.
    A lot of the time when running in a group, part of our guys are mounted and others are "stuck in combat" and can't mount, despite being not even 28m away from the others and not engaged in any actual combat.

    Mounting should also be allowed, but with certain restrictions:
    • only possible when you haven't taken or dealt any damage in the last 10-15 seconds, same as interacting with delve entrances or harvesting nodes,
    • mounting "in combat" immediately resets mount stamina to 0 and applies an unpurgeable 50% self snare lasting 5 seconds.

    This bug is by far the most embarrassing bug ever, and what's worse is they created the issue and they could fix it by reverting to how it used to work, but no, they refuse to own up to their mistake.

    This "Stuck in Combat" bug has been an issue for far too long now. YES, we should be able to change our slotted "siege".

    The SiC bug is just one of the issues causing grief to many in this game. Having to run from Ales to Ash, and after those battles run to Glade -- by the time we arrive on foot the battle is over and we've likely lost.

    Hopeful they also find a way to fix the bug when a keep updates/flips it stops those load screens in battle. Those load screens can last from a second to minutes, and you come back dead.
    PC NA DC 4eva! I try my very best. If it is not good enough for you too bad! Playing off and on since April 2014 CP2009.

    The game does not differentiate between being in combat vs being bugged so the question is rather moot.

    Zos needs to fix the issue or revert being able to swap items while in combat like they were before.

    Curiously, it does differentiate, on some level:

    There are actually 2 distinct "in combat states" - one where you are considered as being officially in combat with some enemies (this includes the bugged state we all know and hate) and that prevents mounting etc., and the other "in combat state" which is only related to dealing and receiving damage.

    The latter state is what the game checks for when determining if you can use certain interactions - such as using non-keep doors, harvesting material nodes, opening containers, etc.

    Why aren't ALL actions tied exclusively to the latter state, is beyond me.

    Like how hekkin hard is it to put a time out option in the game? Oh you havent been attacked for 15 seconds? Youre out of combat. Absolutely absurd.

    I couldn't even slot a "Yes" emote on a new character while stuck in combat. smh
    They are incapable of fixing what they broke and too stubborn to revert the code that broke it.

    It pretty much eliminates strategic play , I can't count how many times we lost keeps because we couldn't counter siege

    If the stuck in combat bug were fixed, I would resub again.

    It is terribly inconvenient not to be able to switch out siege.

    Might be joking in comments.

    This, simply remove the group members in combat as anything outside an flag for should you not help them.
    If I'm inside an keep buying siege equipment I can not equip as its an siege going on ?

    No you should not be able to change bar layout under fire on yourself. But I would also change the hyper annoying behavior of overland mobs, they chase you 50% past the limit, they will even do ranged attacks on you but if they take damage they will run away.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Why not? In a meta where you can be killed in 2 seconds you would be dead before you could swap anyway.
    It causes more problems than it solves.

    If the game cannot accurately determine if one is actually in combat, then it should not restrict us from doing certain things while "in combat".
    This creature called a songbird. What a devious creation! This winged nuisance erodes sanity with its incessant chirping. What a brilliant form of torture!

    Not being able to mount in combat is just plain dumb. Why is this a thing? If ZOS is worried about players riding away from fights, just make the mounting animation interruptible.

    And fix the $&@# bug!
