Is something wrong with CC break? Dev Check Please.

Zerosix · June 2014

I am noticing more and more situations where CC break is not working. Usually it is when certain CC combinations are used like ambush into the concealed weapon morphs. (there are several others, but this one is repeatable.) I am noticing more and more that I can be stun locked from 100 to 0 over the course of 6 seconds while I am raging hitting CC break getting nothing.

Please look into this. I would have plenty of reaction time to fight back in these situations if CC break was instant and I could start using abilities. I thought you were supposed to have immunity after CC break as well. I noticed it has not been working if it is supposed to.

Also not anywhere near as important... please make the animation faster, or able to be canceled. It is much too long!

I can't figure out whether I'm misunderstanding the 'tells' or the lag is killing me or if there is a bug.

All I know is I get this 'down on one knee' pose that simply doesn't break to anything until I'm dead.

Affrayer · June 2014

Same thing has been happening to me quite a bit. It's frustrating especially when you have a full bar of stamina and mashing the mouse buttons does nothing.

Halrloprillalar · June 2014

I get this too, seems to be a combination of certain cc

frwinters_ESO · June 2014

never had the problem. I call personal computer lag.

Thor · June 2014

I noticed that recovery from crystal shards does not apply CC immunity.

Xnemesis · June 2014

Ambush only stuns monsters not players but the Surprise attack will leave you stunned. Also from my experience only roots are breakable. Stuns, knockdowns, and fears have no breaks. A CC immunity is on the test shard ATM and is only applied against CC of the same kind.

For example if 1v1 I could hit you with Agony and /dance for 12 seconds and you could do absolutely nothing till the timer is up or you take damage.

I still deal with this very occasionally, but it's drastically reduced since I went into the key bindings and bound interrupt to one button. I've got it set to a side button on my mouse and it makes the world of difference.

demonlkojipub19_ESO · June 2014

Ive had it happen to me too. I get CC locked and trying to CC break doesn't work, so I get stuck.

Dudis · June 2014

Happens to me every time i get hit by the NB one that makes you kneel down and occasionally with other CCs (mainly knockdowns).

Teargrants · June 2014

I've seen a couple NBs that seem to be able to consistently stunlock ppl right from the beginning of the engagement, when the enemy should have full stamina to CC break. Not sure if lag or...

Xnemesis · June 2014

Like I said I do not believe stuns, knock downs, and fears cannot be broken. This is my experience as a night blade thus far

Zrakie · June 2014

So it wasn't just me, this happened to me 5 times yesterday, every single time it was a NB stun.

that is all incorrect. Most of these CAN be broken out of, normally, if you have enough stam. Use the same as bash combo (RMB+LMB)

Certain cc chains/combos seem to be able to break that ability even if by themselves they don't.

The NB thing in particular.

I got a 4670k and a gtx 780, talk more nonsense please.

What ability is it that makes your target kneel? It is that one combined with another CC

ahh ok well I know I can use agony and laugh for 12 seconds while they squirm and only seem to get broken out when they take damage. Maybe its just a NB thing

Sarousse · June 2014

Some hard CC are bugged, period.

You can't use your button and get out of hard CC.

Take a look into this Zen please and fix it.

Nijjion · June 2014

If you get rooted while you are knocked down you cannot CC break either way. That's what I've found.

Baphomet · June 2014

Seconded, knockdowns and eclipses are currently not possible to break sometimes. Fortunately you can break it most of the times.

If you get rooted while you are knocked down you cannot CC break either way. That's what I've found.

Also, if you have eclipse and get a second stun or knockdown on you, you are locked down for the duration of eclipse @ZOS

bsheffield2008ub17_ESO · June 2014

Many of my guild mates have experienced and we did about 1 hour of testing. The unbreakable cc sometimes came from Invasion with a blank root such as Talons. The victim was running when the CC was unbreakable. I really think it has to do with server lag and possible blanket roots/snares perhaps?

Tintinabula · June 2014

Ive heard someone mention there's a bug where if you are double stunned..say stunned before you break from your first stun..or recover from it..you're perma stunned.

Nitratas · June 2014

Seriously, how can you blame performance for not being able to cc break?

Its clearly some sort of NB attack or just any attack from stealth that does this ''kneeling down'' cc that cannot be broken. I had this countless of times. It's a guaranteed death with no way to resist. LOVE IT

Yea I've been saying this for weeks now. ZOS needs to have a look at breakout and cc mechanics.
Idk if the NB permastun is a recent thing or not though.
And Eclipse is sometimes just not breakable at all, period, no stun, (only from a PC, the NPCs ones are always breakable).

Snit · June 2014

I only have this issue against Nightblades. I'm not sure what the combination of abilities is, but it leaves me on one knee and unable to break the stun. My stamina level does not appear to be relevant.

As a sorc, I have given up on our own class CC's. Good players break all of them easily, if they didn't block them in the first place. I suggest that unblockable or unbreakable CC needs a hard look.

I noticed this too, one time in a fight with a NB, but serveral times in fights with DKs after I got hit with "Invasion" and afterwards with "Burning Talons". Stun couldn't be broken.

Limitless · June 2014

I was knocked down by invasion yesterday and it took 52% of my stamina to break out.
what a time to be alive

FireCowCommando · June 2014

There is definitely some buggy stuff going on with certain CC's or CC combos. Though as many have stated, many NB ability combo's (not sure which ones) seem to be non CC breakable. Its a little frustrating being stunned for 7 seconds patiently hitting CC break (I know this is beyond designed limits).

InvictoNZ · June 2014

I've only once been stun locked, and it was from being dismounted off my horse. Had no way to fight back, even with full stamina.

I also ran into the opposite last night, charged a guy twice on his horse, he kept riding each time, chained him... did not dismount or pull him to me. Probably a stamina horse?

I did this as well and I still get it from time to time, but this did reduce the frequency.

shanersimms_ESO · June 2014

It would really be nice if a dev would let us know if this indeed a bug and what the plan is to resolve. Makes the PvP garbage and uncompetitive in its current state.

Starshadw · June 2014

Whatever the cause (be it lag or an actual bug), a solution has to be found. Particularly since we have the black bubble now, which not only damages the individual, but everyone around them. To not have the CC break be 100% functional is simply unacceptable. Frankly, breaking cc is so important, I'd like to see it NOT cost Stamina.
