Ultimate Gain Bug

MagicaDeHex

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to check if more people than i suffer quite a lot from not gaining ultimate sometimes.
First this only happened when i was emperor and tanked a lot of players for 30sec or so then i stopped getting the gains only got ultimate from kills and yes i have tried everything to gain but nothing works except a re log.
Now lately i've started to get it without being emperor and the only similar thing i can come up with that probably causes this is that when you tank a lot of people for a longer while something bugs out maybe cause of all the incoming damage?

Is this a known problem? i've only heard about me and another guy who had this problem so far.
This is a very annoying bug that causes you to die a lot more than necessary,

Horse simulator is totally op yes but its getting boring.

You have to light or heavy attack now.

No more popping talons a couple times and then getting your ultimate, sorry.

Clueless. Blocking an attack also procs the ult gen, ever since 1.6 got released.

Was a NB tank emperor who had same issues. With all my potion ulti passives, siphoning ulti passives and such, still had times where I couldn't generate ultimate at all even with light and heavy attacks. There are many others with this same bug. Many think it has something to do with blocking.

Potion ulti passive is broken.

Siphoning ulti passive is unreliable at best and only gives 2 ulti.

There is an issue with blocking generating ultimate however which ZOS needs to fix.

I never had any issues with my potion or siphon passives giving me ultimate though. The bug was noticeable when I died and revived, that was when the no ulti gain started.

Anyways, the only quick fix was to alt f4/relog.

So you got emperor in a campaign but you didn't know until today that you had to light/heavy to regain ult ?

Kaghei

I had it a lot on the pts, and at the time i was emperor.
I havent had it on live but i assumed it was that i had hit the hard cap for active buffs so couldnt gain the ulti buff. But that was just my guess.

You are indeed quite correct sir. After checking again tonight, both do seem to be working as intended along with some other ulti gain abilities so ZOS are in my good books today.

Tintinabula

yea Light and heavy attacks keeps my ultimates up pretty much 95% of the time.

RoamingRiverElk

Yes, I have gotten that bug on Live and it really needs to get fixed. I too get it when I'm blocking a lot of attacks.
Reported the bug ages ago on the PTS, and also more recently...

Juraigr

Never had it whooop

Spangla

I get it all the time Magica.

Only way to cure it for me is to re-log and then die.

Highly annoying.

For me it is the same I still get ult from kills.

I assume it's a bug/problem with the game not assigning you the intended "buff" from light/heavy attacks.

Stanko

I've been having the same problem and also first noticed it when I was Emperor (April 4, 2015). I block-cast a lot with sword and shield.

Cinbri

I figured out that at least templar's Eclipse and sorc's Negate (skills that disabling you) are responsible for ult bug (both, player's skill and npc's ones). Still can't figure out in which situation coz it hard to find AD/DC who will waste time on extensive tests (i tried to find people for almost week, now i gave up), however speed tests showed that it occure if you not breaking CC immediately after disabled by those effects and casted unidentified skills while affected by it; after death it is bugging and disabling ult gaining buff.

Bashev

I still have this problem. I think it happens when I tank more than 10 players. I dont know what causes it. The worst thing is that it happens every 10-15 minutes and I have to relog. It is really annoying.
@ZOS_GinaBruno Can we have more information about this bug? Are you going to fix it?

That could explain it. Magica is normally the first person on a resource when we take one, and then he ends up getting spammed by NPC eclipses and negates. I'll monitor this some more and see if there is a correlation.

in 1.6 I would get this bug 30 times a day. Now maybe twice a day.

I would be willing to test this cause atm i can play my dk for about 1-5mins and i get it.. its starting to get really frustrating and i usually break stuff instantly but sometimes i wait em out too. But if you have some ideas about this i'll help so we can get to the bottom with this.

Yuke

i got that bug once after 1.6. release. Strange thing is i dont block with my build, so it cant be because of excessive blocking.

The_Saint

Same here.
Yesterday arena and so im not able to gain ulti with sap essence and also light attacks at some mob groups.
Also i have the feeling the passiv from the assasination ulti is not working every time.

MagicaDeHex

Daphine never had the bug before she got emp in 1.6 .. now she gets it sometimes too, was thinking on the emp passives before but havent tried without em yet.

Soulac

Got it three times yesterday while grinding and two times a week ago in PvP.
Emp since last year so I doubt it's the reason for it.

I mean emp passives, the 5% passive might have something to do with it since she never had it and now with passive she got it, just a thought.

How many CP do you have? Back on PTS people started getting this bug after a certain amount of CP was reached.

I had the bug when i was going for emp (without the skill line), happend most of the time i jumped into big groups to batswarm, sap essence with double take up and block casting. I suspect the ultimate gain gets overloaded when you can get ultimate from to many sources at the same time, doging, blocking, alliance assault passive ulti gain per kill etc.

Last night in pvp our DK tank got it a almost every time (he has no emp passives) when he tanked around 10+ people.

Strangly i never got the bug on my DK (no emp) and i also tank a lot and im almost always the first at the resources to soak up the npc eclipse and stuff.

dont know if trolls, or just stupid...

Bashev

I didn't have the problem before a week and at that time:
1) I wasn't a vampire
2) I had less CP
I think it should be related to one of those.

Well atleast then we know its not the emp passives, but yes i think it has something to do with incomming dmg from too many resources and it just bugs out, I cant play my dk properly cause of this i go in i fight i kill a few and i just end up dying cause i never get that 2nd ulti up..
And we have no posts from ZOS about this either a lot of people suffering from this and it totally destroys the pvp for ppl who suffer from it, i might aswell remove my ulti skill cause atm i have to restart or relog the game after every fight so i spend more time logging in then actual gameplay.. ha ha..
