I know *I'm* totally worthless as a PvP player, that's why I never do it.

(Sorry, couldn't resist. Carry on!)

Greetings,

We have moved this thread to the Bug Report section for proper visibility.

The bug is commonly referred to as the in-combat bug. From what I have gathered from guild mates is it started when Zenimax made a change so we could not change skills while in combat but avoid actual combat for a short time. Zenimax has been silent on this and did not add it to the dev tracker. In other words, I would not hold my breath on this being changed even though it is rather game-breaking and should have been fixed ages ago.

Update 35 AND it getting worse. More combat bug / fight bug what ever. Can't ride or the other things. Can you imagine how XXXX it is to walk through cyrodiil half the time.

Yes I too get the stuck in combat bug even minutes after fights end and when I'm not near any possible enemy. This happens many times every single night. I'm on Xbox NA in Blackreach.
The last 2-nights I've been kicked to desktop in the game repeatedly and even completing a dungeon was a miracle due to lost packets. I pinged 198.20.200.1 and had between 5 and 25% packet loss during this long period of time. This started Wednesday night but last night it started at about 8:30 PM Pacific time and lasted at least until 11PM. I had to log off the game and go to sleep because I literally couldn't play PVP or PVE. I confirmed I had no issues pinging any other IPs on the public internet and am on hardwired half-gig fiber. The problem is on their side.
I have debuffs appied to me stay on and say they're going to last for 47,000,000 days or something like that.
Voice chat works maybe 30% of the time. Guild Chat 1 for my PVP guild rarely works and we have to log out of the game and back in a few times to get it to work when it does.
This game is a mess. PVP more than anything.
In PVE dungeons players get stuck at doors for minutes before being allowed to proceed. This has been happening in Blackheart haven, Tempest Island, and Wayrest Sewers at the least literally for years.
Audio in most dungeons is so bad you can't tell what any of the narrators are saying. If players move even a bit fast through the dungeon audio clips just overlap each other and you can't hear a dang thing except confusing noise. Man I could go on all day. What a mess.

sinnereso no offense but that's ridiculous. If you start fighting someone or even an NPC at a resource or keep or even an animal out in the wilderness and not everyone dies, but everyone/thing goes their separate ways that's disengagement. The game should NOT be keeping all players involved locked in a combat mode indefinitely after that. There should be logic built into the game that if the involved parties get so far apart and/or there has been a certain amount of time that takes place and nobody has taken any damage that the game removes you from combat mode so you can mount/logout/change skills or inventory around and continue playing unhindered. As it is now you get stuck in combat mode so much that you're only able to mount and ride to the next keep/resource take/defend about half the time. I lieterally have to run on foot from a keep to get to another one at least once every night! Every player I play with (hundreds over years, PC and Xbox) hates the stuck in combat situation and says that other than horrible performance issues this is THE single biggest problem in all PVP. If you don't feel this way that's fine, but you're in the probably less than 1% minority.
