Curious minds want to know.

If there is a fix already, and the bug clearly messes up the game, why not put out a hot fix immediately?

In many MMOs, one would expect a fix like this within a few days from it being discovered, but people have waited what... months now?

    They were busy fixing the issue of being randomly dismounted from your horse while traveling. Oh don't you remember the all important bug where Lyris Titanborne turned invisible for a few seconds. Those obviously had to come first.

    I though Lyris turning invisible is a feature. Would buy in crowns shop.

    Because Magic damage would be over the top right now until other changes went in.

    Because it wasnt bugged at the start. They wanted it to work like this UNTIL ppl started QQ and they had to give in. So they are not in a hurry to change it and I think they are still checking if its rly worth to nerf it :)

    Working as intended. Not a bug. Magicka builds will run rampant if they change it now.

    Clearly that is the most reasonable explanation. And I tend to agree and it seems the Devs do too.

    Here since Beta.

    So people don't have to block, dodge roll, reflect, or slot stuff for magicka mitigation.
    Disabling the grass may improve performance.

    Because there is no /sittingduck emote in the game yet.

    Better yet when will nirnhoned staves be fixed ? If cyro is getting the 50% reduced damage I say it's about time they make nirn staves accually apply 18% rather then applying less then half of what it is supposed to.

    They fixed it by nerfing the drop rate of nirn in craglorn. That way no more weapons or armor can be made ;)

    Everybody mitigates 50% damage from spells = working as intended, right :-)

    I know a fix is coming soon, and I am glad that it is being addressed, but I was just wondering that when you have something that screws this much with the balance, why not hotfix it like MMOs usually do - and Zenimax actually has done on a couple of occations in the past.

    I wouldn't say that it is downright game breaking, but it certainly does put a bitter taste in the paying customers' mouths who have spent months on magicka builds and can't/won't respec for different reasons.

    Just don't get it from a business point of view, I suppose.
