Just letting you all know that we are aware of this bug, but don't have an exact time frame for an implemented fix. We'll let you know when we have a better idea.


Quote from a Few MONTHS ago. No word yet. I paid crowns for a bite or two(for convenience) and this has been broken for so long. I refuse to let this go with multiple patches and still nothing. Can we get an update?

    The problem is not just clouding swarm, is invisibility in general. There is a millon of bugs associated with invisibility, everything seems to break it. Cloak used to work fine because of the purge it had, but when they removed the purge, cloak got broken as clouding swarm is.

    Yeah I'm real tired of this ***. Last night I decided to play with clouding swarm to make up for cloak being useless. After 2 fails and headaches I figured I probably didn't morph it but NOPE. Just another broken ability... and this bug was introduced so long ago that I didn't assume it'd still be broken.

    That's why I'm going to bring this up consistently until I at least get another response. It shouldn't have been broken for this long.

    Honestly, it's not a few months ago it's a few patches ago. This can't be something that continues, a class defining skill, the best passive for Khajiit and Bosmer, and the morph of a tree defining ultimate are all broken because invisibility got changed.

    Seriously change it back to purge until you fix the mechanic already.

    It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't charge crowns for something that's broken.

    Not going to lie that set me off right there. I have been trying to get a response for a few months. That was almost a slap in the face. Can we please just get at least a sentence about this. I will tag everyone it lets me.

    Yeah but not all the time do I have the time to do the mission. Especially when my characters already level 10. But it's no excuse for it not working. Especially for so long. I've been trying to refresh the original post and make new ones almost every two weeks for months

    You would think a world ultimate used by all classes would get some attention . Where is the vampire outrage here ? You post a thread about needing fangs or a way not to look so ugly in stage 4 and it's a 60 page read . You say half the abilities don't work in PvP and people are all meh ...

    I second this. I made a build similar to JackDaniell's Ghost build and it insta failed because Clouding Swarm doesn't work. It's like running into a group of people and yelling "kill me now"!

    Unfortunately there's not much we can do. Whether it's one voice on the forums or many, I don't think ZOS particularly cares. They have their hierarchy of issue management, and that's what they follow regardless.

    Remind me what exactly is broken? I know I've read it before but I can't actually remember (I don't play vampire). Whatever it is, yes of course it needs fixing, and I assume it's on "the list" of fixes. Seems rather a long time ago that it was last mentioned, too, so an update on the current status would be good.

    But when you consider it took them four and a half years to implement One Tamriel, that kinda puts the issue management timeline in perspective.

    Clouding swarm doesn't make vampire go invisible to avoid attacks still . Mist form still gets snared by gap closers and roots . Baleful mist as well . Been broken for a year .

    Another case of "we can fix it, so we change it".

    I think that at this point we can all imagine what is going to happen to nb's cloak (that share many of the current problems of clouding swarm), it will never be fixed because they simple don't know how.

    You know what you should do is fix cloak or revert the change you did so it will work.
