Fun with the crazy damage scalating (bug)

gendarkb16_ESO

I had a new bug in cyrodiil that the longer i play the more damage my abilities do, this bug just happens to be just before a crash to desktop (maybe a new memory leak bug or something with my skills setup).

I don't know how to reproduce it and it only happened to me 2 times today and always after a long session of pvp and also always this bug precedes a crash to desktop. I notice my skills start doing more damage than normal and it can last around 10-30 mins the damage goes scalating till the game crash. And btw the damage goes increasing with all damage skills (magica and stamina).

In the video the issue beings to be very OP at the minute 2:15 or so also you will see a 6000+ a 7000+ wrecking blows, 3000+ charges and also a nice caltrops at the end.

Also I suppose that i am not the only one with this bug, but i didn't see this commented anywhere.

NEW UPDATE 20/8/14

The damage bug still not fixed. I try to record some good fights for a new video and recorded few fights while buged, so here we go a new video proving the bug is not fixed with 1.3.4. of course i am trying to record them without any damage bonus from the **** bug but its not up to me to know if really have it until the hit from stealth happens :P

Today the bug is happening so often, is really crazy, i am relogging every 5-10 minutes ...

Is really frustrating this bug, and obviously i will not rework all my character / playstyle / legendary sets for this.

update: It is happening also today. After lets say 15-25 minutes of playing all my damage starts increasing. Its not only crits or stamina skills, its all my damage including magic skills and siege weapons too.

I try to relog once it starts to get really op 1500+ charges or so, but right now the queue to join pvp its starting to get serius so i can not do 10 mins of queue and then 5-10m more of playing and then having to relog again "just in case", by tonight the queues will be long.

I am really sure i am not the only one with this bug, so don't kill the messenger :P

PD: also i don't know why i should feel bad when "ejem" there are tons and tons of people insta killing me with other stuff like bow issues, animation canceling, invasion perma stun, op skills like bats or other stuff.

PD: I don't know how to exactly reproduce the bug so don't bother to ask.

So what you are saying is you recorded yourself using an exploit and posted it on the forums.

what's he supposed to do? relog every few mins so he doesnt deal so much dmg?

Arkadius

Well, that's just ridiculous... Probably gonna see more melees now in pvp until this is fixed..

It not so much an exploit per say (since one can not use at will), just documenting the bug. If the OP starts to use on demand over and over again, then it will become an exploit.

Now it is been documented, it will be best if the OP just relogs and tries to rid of the bug. One should NOT profit from use of bugs once they been documented and sent to the right people to fix the bug / exploit.

Escalating.

Lets see, I play the game perfect fine for 1h or more, then without doing nothing special(also only happened 2 times to me) i notice my skills start doing more and more damage and after 10-20 minutes the game crashes to desktop, so have to start the game again and wait the 60-80 line queue to join pvp again.

The first time i didn't know wtf was happening so i decided to use fraps to record it "for/if" this happened more, and so the second time i recorded it to show it yes

As I said, i don't know what causes it or how to reproduce this thing. But was fun while lasted :P

MrMT

Those are some big numbers indeed. Wonder what's going on?

He's put together a very nice video demonstrating the issue, and is being very forward about it here. If I was him I couldn't help but have a blast while I could too! He's done what he can, beyond simply stop playing the game.

Krinaman

Sorry forgot the on the end of that

Agreed.

Honestly, I know my battle text addons was broken after the patch becasue of the API changes, though it said I was doing a lot more than just 4k, like 35k+ scrolling across my screen.

Insta-killing people bug (and none of the other bugs fixed) seems like exactly what I expected from zos with a big patch. Way to meet expectations guys!

For all intents and purposes, despite his honesty, he was definitely exploiting it at the time. He wasn't charitably lending his time toward producing this elucidative video, he was helping his alliance take the map. His zone chat seemed to reference it, actually directing the "imba people" around. It seems he wasn't the only one, but good on him for reporting it.

You expected different?

KariTR

If it isn't a display issue with the addon and you are indeed capable of one-shotting others at full health (getting ready for work, no time to watch the video), I would definitely relog if only to avoid being reported for hacking.

It would be interesting to see the actual game death log of someone you have killed. Have you tried testing this with a friend at all?

pahajuju

That might explain why I killed one guy in one on one after a few minutes of fighting. I'm a shield and butter axe dk.

He seemed to go from 100% to 0% just in a few hits in the end and he was winning first. I first thought that it was some kind of lag, but this explains it.

Edit 1:

I think I just used Molten Armaments just before I got the kill. So maybe it boosted my critical hits too much?

ExiledKhallisi

Been happening at random to me as well... Dark Flared a guy for 9870 damage...Lol

Vanzen

I was there in stealth when I saw this and I thought .... Whoah I suck so much ! How this guy can do this ?! Its recomforting to know it was a bug ..

Wizzo91

Unbelievable. This is worse than the Silver Bolts bug which only affected vamps and WWs.

JackDaniell

Lol this was awesome to watch. It was actualy really funny to see you zipping around a zerg just 1 hitting people .

In all seriousness I hope they patch it soon tho

Good to know this also happens to more people.

It happened random to me yesterday and only 2 times in the whole evening that i played, when i get back home will see if it happens again now that i really know it i will relog when the damage starts going insane.

People are never happy, "Please buff stamina builds" => ZOS implements Buff => "OMG my stamina build is too op, it must be a bug!"

Where stamina builds that bad?

Phinix1

"B-b-but AD, WHY will you never PVP in this game?"

No it was not fun. But thanks that you admitted it was that it was bug using. I was really wondering what was going on.
