This is one of the most infuriating bugs, especially in Cyrodiil. Is there a way to allow things like mounting in combat and just make them interrupted if you take damage? This bug has been around far too long, as have many others, time to do something. Anything.

    I don't think not being allowed to mount in combat is a bug...
    Or what's the "bug" you're referring to?

    The bug the OP is referring to is when you get flagged as in combat but you cant shift it, I ran from Ash all the way to Warden last night being 'in combat' the whole way, even though there was nothing about, its's particularly bad on a temp.

    What the dude above said. Typically happens when you were in a fight but the target never died. There are times I have attacked someone and they run away, funny enough they can mount but I am stuck in combat for the next 5 minutes. In PvP especially it is frustrating because you are trying to get to the next fight and can't mount, and Cyrodiil is freaking huge. The make matters worse your in combat on foot speed is much slower as well. Sometimes you can't port from a keep, you can never port via recall stone. You can't log out, you have to hard exit altogether. You can't switch out any skills or quickslots either. Sometimes /reloadui works but I would say 1 out of 5 times, sometimes killing a mob will reset it but not always. There are times either a hard exit from the game or finding something to kill you is the only cure.

    It's an extremely frustrating bug that just blocks any fun you are trying to have at the moment. They obviously can't (or won't) fix it so trying to give them an easy suggestion, just remove the in combat restrictions.

    It is especially bad for healers. You heal a tank and from there on as long as they still alive and in combat so you are. I stopped going with healers to Cyrodiil long time ago, as with healers its a never ending constant in combat crap.

    I just kill myself with a self DOT potion. Youll have to keep the last alchemy passive locked to make use of it though
    If you want me to reply to your comment type @Ankael07 in it.

    I usually anticipate it and go in with damage health potions and have Balance or Alter slotted. It's still silly that it's necessary, though.

    Yeah this bug is really ridiculous. I even get the "cannot mount in combat bug" after I die in a fight and revive at another keep. How am I still in combat after I died? Does it just not allow you to mount because you're still considered "part of the fight" in the game's reward system.
    It's ridiculous that I still can't mount or do anything when I literally revive far away from the battle. Can't log out, skill change, swap consumables or anything either.

    I find it annoying that I can't swap siege on my quick bar, and that is the *only* way you can use them. Technically I should be out of combat, yet I had to walk halfway across Cyrodiil to a keep defense, couldn't swap gear, couldn't slot my defense skills, couldn't slot my defense siege and am stuck with my offense potions... all because some clown took a pot shot at me half an hour ago and hasn't died yet.

    I understand the stuck in combat, or even being placed in combat when there is no combat, has been part of the game for a few years now (please correct me if I have heard wrong). I also heard they only commented on this once. If it has been here for this long I would suggest it does not seem to be an issue Zenmiax is very concerned with. Granted, the performance issue is a bigger thing.

    By this point in time they better remove Cyrodiil altogether. That whole thing is a bug in itself.

    Yes, because if you are NOT in combat and then HEAL somebody,
    you are suddenly in combat and often cannot get out of it at all,
    even though the guy you healed already is back on his horse.

    THE STUCK IN COMBAT BUG IS THE WORST BUG
    I EVER SAW IN ANY COMPUTER GAME.


    This bug exists for so many years now, to me it's even worse than the lag.
    Because if ZOS cannot fix it, it proves a BROKEN GAME ENGINE.
