/STUCK COST since Patch??

Nebthet78

WTF ZOS???

Players are now being PUNISHED because of your bad code?

I am stuck in a state of death and in order to fix it I have to /stuck myself... but it wants to charge me GOLD in order to do that!! How is that fair??


In addition to that.. I am getting the death bug all the time now and have to keep signing out and back in over and over again.

This game is becoming more and more of a joke every day...

Cogo

Thats great! instead of killing myself which I as an orc would NEVER do, I can just pay some gold and get out, instead of having to wait on a GM or play an alt. Good solution!

Epona222

If I have to pay every time I fall through that bridge in Wayrest and get stuck in the architecture, I am going to be furious. It's not as if I do it on purpose.

kasain

You already pay in armor repair. Now this was to stop bots. But ahain nerf for the player

LadyDestiny

Seriously? This costs gold now? Is it intended or a bug? I can't believe with the high cost of everything and the complaints that they would do something like this. They must be sitting back having a good laugh. Good job ZoS, this just keeps getting better and better.......I used to be nice person but this company has brought out the worst in me.

Syzmicke

The only thing these charges are for is the gold sellers to make more money.

I'am sure ZOS has share's in the companys cause they dont seem to know/do with the Bot's.

Seriously, yes it is charging gold now. That is why I included the pic with the post to prove that it is charging gold to /stuck yourself now. So, yeah I am thinking it was an intended change.

zeuseason

This was exploited to all heck, so I'm glad they put in in.

AngryNord

***?? Seriously, Zenimax??? *shakes head in disbelief*
When was the last time a game company so decidedly hit the self-destruct button on their own product? I can't even remember...

dideldumdei

Yep thats the way it is! Opened a thread myself yesterday after I found out

Wanna merge?

@Nebthet78
your toon looks like its cheeks are puffed out
making people pay for /stuck is a terrible design choice by the way

LOL.. yeah that was some weird texturing happening there from being in death limbo because my toon doesn't actually have any facial markings!

Gwarok

Thanks @ZOS for yet another ridiculous UNECESSARY money sink

pema

so how do we get out of an object, or en endless fall?
Now you need money on you all the time in case you get stuck... what if you are broke? or put it in the bank?

I'd rathter have they put a repetive cap on it, no more then idk 5 times an hr?

Artemiisia

well I have only been stuck like 3 times so far in my whole gaming experience, not really justified as a money sink

all you need is to have 500 gold on you at all time from now on, thats little more then one quest

I happy with this, especially now I dont need to repair my gear upon death by stuck

Kudos ZeN

Blo0dstorm

That will be unfair for starters who got no gold at all.

So, you're one of the botters then? They are the only ones with any reason to be glad for this, since it opens up an even bigger market for the gold sellers.

care to explain?

Previously, bots would hit a quest objective and type /stuck to kill themselves for a quick trip to a wayshrine. this way, if the quest gives 150g and it costs 140g to "die"...this makes the botting of quest worthless.

i do agree that they shouldn't charge gold for being stuck, it should move you a few feet to to one side or the other....like most other MMO's

Squishy

I would highly recommend to get the first /stuck for free, but it would have a 1h CD.

I ended up stuck in the map, and when I saw the cost, I just alt+F4 the client. That annoyed me greatly, but if it's an anti bot measure, I think the first /stuck should be free, with an increasing fee (like the shrine travel), resetting every 2hours or so.

kasain

Nope. ZOS is not to bright. They could of done what they do for IP address verifications. Send a code to your email. Then you can do /stuck.

But hey with the memory leak, and this new thing what no MMO has ever done. then theirs the fact they are hiring, most likely because they fired many of their people. The company has no direction on how to keep a player happy and control bots.

Censorious

It always did have a cost - it's just that they never told you how much before.

kasain

No idea, but the fact it is a game developer problem and not a player problem is the issue. First it causes armor decay, then to warp. And no, I shouldn't have to take off all my armor because their server lags and I run into the middle of a mountain or fall from the sky. Then have to pay on top of that for them not providing a stable server.

They wonder why their are so many bots but truly it is 95% of there one game decisions and development that have caused more bots in this game and more player nerfs then any other MMO.

Svann

If someone was exploiting stuck to fast travel this wont fix that. All they have to do is suicide and achieve the same thing.

Aeradon

Why didn't you just open your group/party and travel to the members?

/stuck had always have a cost. Travel doesn't. Who pays for way shrines nowadays?

Banumu

How are we supposed to pay for our College of Winterhold loans now?

By getting lucky and finding/selling a Daedric Motif.

Banumu

Or rob a bank in a different faction I guess.

Manus

Has anybody tried it with no gold? Does it result in a death or free ride ? or are you stuck until a gm/cs helps you out?

Banumu

If I could get into game I would try that, put all gold in bank /stuck just to see what would happen. Curiosity Killed the Khajiit.

/facepalm, I never repair, i could have been traveling to the nearest wayshrine for free. this is why these fixes are made, before slow people like me , the incoming people don't exploit it more. One of the advantages to continuing subs from day one. of course that has it's disadvantages too

Just tried it and let me say its even more worthless against Bots as all the Fanboys here think, cause if you have no money on your character its taken out of your ingame Bank Account. So ZOS actually not only takes gold from one of your Characters but from your whole Account.

And in addition you can only use /stuck only once every hour.

So it is a Gold Sink and nothing else, cause no Bot is harmed by it in any way. Only the once an hour limit maybe hurts them a bit.

As someone here already wrote a *** poor solution. Plus it was never mentioned in any Patch Notes so it was just ninjaed in.

Another well done ZOS!!
