Tarnished Nightmare

Ralamil · March 29

If this set gave folks free transmute crystals, it would have been patched instantly. But it impacts PVPers, so it's not a huge concern, right? No ETA, no real communication other than "we know."

Also pretty amazing this wasn't caught in QA. Well, I say amazing, I mean "par for the course."

by it self its fine. whats killing pvp is a known exploit players started doing even streamers. the devs are aware of the exploit so if you get hit for a 40k nightmare just report the player and let them sort it out later

Pretty sure the point is that relatively harmless bugs will often get a quick hotfix if they affect anything other than PvP content.

Meanwhile, things that severely impact Cyrodiil or other PvP content (the corpse bug, this Tarnished bug, things like the block or negate bug in the past) take weeks, if not months to fix.

The corpse bug has been in the game since Necrom, and only just got acknowledged by the devs yesterday. This Tarnished bug is quite literally one-shotting groups of players, completely destroying the fun of cyrodiil with 0 counterplay, and will likely remain in the game for weeks if not a month+.

Apparently it’s working the same in PVE and that’s why it should be patched on Monday

There are numerous players deliberately triggering the exploit in PvP right now. I'm not sure whether to report it or not (Since little to nothing is done to fight cheaters and exploiters in generla) but plenty of fights in Cyro rely on these particular exploiters right now which is worse than Dark Coverngence was.

If people don't report it, then bug abusers will never face any consequences, which only serves to make the exploiting worse next time there's an abusable bug like this because they know they'll get away with it. Reporting it, and following up the report with ZOS with clips, screenshots, and logs is 100% essential.

This is the way it has always been.

Pretty sure they are still on the two-week cycle for updates even though stadia isn't a thing. In the meantime, if you really want to ensure it gets fixed, get some alt accounts together and start running vet trials. Never fails to get stuff fixed asap.
