We're taking a look now, thanks for the report.

Why do these topics always have to be titled in such a dramatic and accusative way?

"Good job ZOS", seriously, how old are we? 12?

Pretty sure it will get fixed before tomorrow IF this is something everyone experiences.

im not a sorc

Ampnode · January 2016

Sweet, a day without getting overload spammed for 12K+ per.

magnusthorek · January 2016

For god's sakes. Bosses get stronger and stronger, sorcerers can barely compete with other classes and now the only thing that saves us during boss battles is screwed after a patch that, according to the notes, didn't even touch this skill.

Sometimes I'm afraid to even imagine the programming of this game...

Perfect, if they can just break Crystal Frags, we'll be in business.

@Amaz1ng Here's the thread

Kildayen · January 2016

Thanks, Obama...

JD2013 · January 2016

Well, thankfully I am NB levelling!

DRXHarbinger · January 2016

Level a magika DK instead. Days of the sorc are over.

You must be fun to do dungeons with if you can't do boss fights without overload...

Honestly, (magicka) sorcs have been pretty much on par with other classes since 1.6. That was 1 year ago. Yes, overload + kena are a nice thing to have, but you can do any content with medium attack, force pulse, liquid lightning, thundering presence and your choice of other damage skills.

PS: My main is a magicka sorc.

I was thinking that exact thing ...

karldavy149b16_ESO · January 2016

this sucks was in the middle of lvling my sorc in mealstrom ... as overload allows u to skip so many mechanics ill just have to wait for a fix not to worry ive 3 toons left to get to v 16 ill play one of those tonight

OdinForge · January 2016

Console Sorcs right now be like.

Cazzy · January 2016

Out of curiosity, do patches get checked or tested before being applied?

no. i mean check the last 5 patches and sum up obvious bugs. first the thing with battle spirit now this both found after seconds from the users. the only conclusion can be no testing at all

blackronin83x · January 2016

We do absolutely test each patch before it gets deployed. Our team checks each fix that goes in, and also does a sanity check to make sure you're able to log in, create and load a character, etc. Unfortunately, it's impossible to check each and every piece of the game before each patch. In this case, it appears as though something caused Overload to stop working (we're still investigating what happened) and sadly, even though it may sound like a cop out, these things can happen.

Seravi · January 2016

Yeah just checked my sorc and Overload is DOA.

She goes through the animation like it's going to fire then poof..nothing. Her lightning staff works today and it wasn't working last night so at least I have that.

They will fix it when they find the critter that is chewing on that part of the code. Time to work on that Nightblade I've been putting off for weeks.

that answer is just not accaptable and shows an imo very bad development cycle.just do one dungeon with 4 people every class and go and try pvp for 2 seconds this whole stuff would be found out that you do 0 functionality check on your game is highly disturbing and as a developer i can only tell you no software should be released without an integration test.

@ZOS_GinaBruno While you're looking into it, sometimes when spamming light attacks with overload it gets stuck on heavy attack and wastes a bunch of ultimate in the process. Other times when you are depleted of ultimate it doesn't automatically switch off and you have to manually do so.

I wasn't being snarky! I legitimately wondered!

I put the smiley face to try and show I wasn't being mean and it was a genuine question
