If you encounter any bugs during your adventures on the PTS over the next 4-6, please post them here. I will update the original posting to reflect bugs/issues that are brought to the attention of the community so as to increase awareness. Hopefully our efforts here will assist ZOS in expediting hot fixes before Patch 1.4 goes live.
Bug Compilation
Dragonstar Arena
- Frozen Visual Bug: If you are killed in Veteran DragonStar Arena while frozen (stage 2 wave 3+ with the snow falling) you keep the Frozen screen/character visuals Indefinitely or until you log out.
- Shadow Bug: Shadows in Stage 4 bug out and just keep using Whirlwind in the same spot forever and sometimes teleport to players/despawn when you attack them.
- Persistent Mobs Bug: Mobs are persisting through group wipes, allowing you to continue wave progress after death.
- Purple quality loot in Hardmode Dragonstar Arena is V13, whereas blue quality loot is V14.
Dungeons and Delves
- Sunken Lair: mobs are not dropping loot/gold.
Class & Weapon Skills
- Healing Ward (Restoration Staff). Both of the heals proccing off of healing ward are not currently able to crit. These 2 heal spells should be able to crit, the shield itself should not, and they should be based off of spell crit.
- Arcane Fighter (2H Passive) - is not properly increasing chance to apply status effects from elemental damage.
- Standard of Might: Occasionally dropping Standard of Might (In Dragonstar Arena) will allow you to "Hit E to Talk to Standard of Might."
- Various passives won't be working properly until you relog (need verification on which passives are reportedly not working at the moment?)
- Igneous Weapons (Dragonknight) In certain cases this ability will stack up to 20 times. When this happens, the player does significantly more damage than intended. Difficult to to recreate the bug intentionally, but it has happened several times by accident. This bug persists through death.
Combat and Gameplay
-Unbreakable CC bug still present, usually caused when immobilized and CC'd at the same time, or hit with multiple CC's at the same time.
-Double CC bug, if you are hit with a CC at the exact same time you hit the CC break button, often times you are double CC'd
- Your jewelry buffs will appear to be working in the stat sheet but wont actually work until you relog (confirmed for stamina regen and fire resist jewelry)
- Health bar desync bugs: If you layer shields multiple times, like conjured ward and annulment or obsidian shields, your health bar will eventually desync and always be showing some level of shielding, even when there is none. If you shoot projectiles that are reflected back at you, your health bar will desync. Especially apparent if using a bow and having your attacks reflected.
- Grahtwood / Thugrub's Cave: Thugrub will stop attacking you no matter from how near or afar you attack it. Sorcerer's pets will initially attack it but then lay off. Tried attacking Thugrub without pets, same result.
Animations
- Breton: Reports of character model upper body stuck while running, arms don't swing but legs are moving normally (repotting does not fix it).
- The red glow that appears on your weapons when a Nightblade's Siphoning Attacks is toggled on has animation issues. I've noticed that when I have my shield, it will sometimes have the glow for my bow and vise versa - creating wierd looking animations
Alchemy
- [Medicinal Use] Ranks I, II, and III do not increase duration of potion lingering effects.
Enchantments
- [Monumental Glyph of Potion Boost] has no effect on potions.
- Weapon Enchantments: don't proc any status effects. i.e. Flame enchantment never procs burning status effect. (working as intended?)
Crafting
- Metallurgy/Stitching/Carpentry Rank 4 reduces researchable items from 3 to 1.
- Ebonheart Provisioning Certification - The trunk in the Davon's Watch Mages Guild
which contains the Roast Pig recipe will not open when selected by the player, prevent quest progress.
- VR1 Glenumbra Crafting Writs - The Crafting Writs notice board in the city of Daggerfall is non interactable.
- Ebonheart Crafting Writs - The Crafting Writs notice board in the city of Davon's Watch is invisible and inaccessible.
- The Crafting Writs notice posts/boards are missing from almost all cities in the DC and EP zones while they are present and accessible in the AD zones.
- The writ posts/boards are present and working in these AD cities: Elden Root, Marbruk, Rawl'kha and Vulkhel Guard. (I did not check Silvenar in Malabal Tor due to the mobs and quests that make the city inaccessible.)
- The writ posts/boards are broken in: Daggerfall and Davon's Watch
- The writ posts/boards are missing in: Evermore, Mournhold, Riften, Sentinel, Shornhelm, Stormhold, Wayrest and Windhelm
- The VR14 gold reward for the crafting writ quests is less than the vendable sum of of the required items for completion (intended?)
- The preview panes at crafting stations are not updated dynamically upon changes to i.e. changing material selection.
- UI notifications for Crafting Writs quests are displayed after traveling via wayshrine.
- Clothier Station is missing from the town of Dragonstar.
Quests
- The E key will no longer activate the first option when talking to NPCs or accepting quests from the Alliance War or Crafting Writ boards.
- Quest "The Serpent's Fang" (Kill Runescriber Kulth and Armorer Uthik): NPC Little Leaf often disappears and mobs become bugged i.e. mobs not engaging in combat, not drawing aggro of other mobs in proximity, and despawning.
- Stros M'Kai quest Buried Secrets: There are no hint pointers for the focusing crystals. The quest markers aren't pointing in the right direction for Buried Secrets, Tarnish the Crown.
- Quest "Stone cold": cant see Hollow Watchman.
- Quest "The Serpent Lord": cant use blood rune to repair seals.
-Bangkorai: [critical, main quest stopper]Heart of evil: can't throw Uela's heart in the ritual circle because the prompt doesn't show up. (need people to confirm or deny this)
-Coldharbour: [major, quest stopper]The soul-meld mage: At the step "Talk to the soul-meld mage. hints:wait for the soul-meld mage", Zur walks up to the dwarven machine and just stands there not doing anything.
- Malabal Tor [Reap What Is Sown]: Fixed an issue that was causing some people to get stuck on the quest step “Eavesdrop on the Drublog Shaman.” v1.2.3. Reports of people still becoming stuck after the fix.
PvP
- Elite Gear Vendors in Cyrodiil do not sell any bows.
- Elite Gear Vendors in Cyrodiil only sell VR13 gear when they should sell VR14 gear, especially to my VR14 character.
- The Cyrodiil campaigns are not listed in the correct order. They are listed in this order: 14 Day then 30 Day then 7 Day. The sequence should match the current live server: 30 Day then 14 Day then 7 Day.
- Damage/armor values on VR14 elite PvP gear has not been increased over their VR12 counterparts. Enchantment stats seem to be increased accordingly.
PTS Issues
- Imperial racial skill line is not pre-leveled to 50, starting at only lvl 5.
- [The Master's Books] has no contents.
