You have to pay for getting stuck now! How did you get stuck?

chishikib16_ESO · May 2014

So I logged in this morning to find my character somehow walking along just under the ceiling of the local mages guild. I tried moving to get myself free to no success so I went to /stuck yet again but now it costs me coin?

So I'm angry and wondering how many other people get stuck through game glitches and now have to pay for it even more than just repairing requirement.

Unless you are wearing coldharbour robes, repair from a single death costs more than a teleport. Now, that still does not answer my question in another thread, what if I get stuck without cash on me?

I have no clue about that. That's just even more frustrating.

I would imagine this is a 'solution' to something the bots were doing. I can honestly think of no other reason why this would have changed. But maybe someone has a good reason.

I've gotten stuck about 15 times for the few weeks I played and it cost me gold every single time.

Hmmm. If that is so, that means I was getting stuck before without cash on me, so I had to go through death... That answers my question

Got stuck once before last patch now characters often get stuck zoning through doors.

chishikib16_ESO · May 2014

I got stuck again, this time inside a building and the door won't open for me to exit. I even reloaded and restarted the game. god. ***. damn it.

/STUCK DIDN'T FIX IT

wayshrine fixed it. I'm out a good 300 gold now.

I would hope a new position of "/stuck analyzer" opened up at Zen. They should review people that used the command, check the location/axis and then have gold credited back if legit

Or you fall through the floor zoning through a door.

And I'm still feeling hosed for having to pay gold to get unstuck.
I get stuck = the game owes me, not vice-versa.
No, I don't expect to get paid because I got stuck, but I damned well don't want to have to pay because they can't design a game that doesn't velcro me to areas, or has trapdoors into the sky below.

On the topic of falling through the floor: Why don't the bots under the map plummet to doom? Just wondering why they can't die every time.

i tried to do a dolmen twice molag bal got mad at me for my extra effort and put me into a hell of eternal falling where all i saw was a blank screen and my poor nerfed templar screaming forever for about 10 minutes then he finally hit the ground dead and could revive at a wayshrine, sadly he was still nerfed and useless but his torture was less than mannimarco's

Client-side hack that makes them immune to 'gravity'.

I got stuck going through a door and tried to free myself by dodging/jumping. Apparently, you can only jump so many times before the game makes you fall through the earth. I let her fall until the game booted me, logged back in, and I was still falling through the world. I then /stuck-ed, had to pay gold AND my gear degraded.

Bogus.

Indeed, this has got to be one of the more ridiculous ideas that Zenimax, in its wisdom, has instigated. I got blown backwards during a boss fight and ended up stuck in an area that had magically opened up, which had not existed prior and which could not be accessed when I returned to the scene. That sort of thing ought not to be able to happen and yes, I had to pay for the privilege of escape.

chishikib16_ESO · May 2014

I guess they started charging for /stuck because people were using it instead of fast traveling to wayshrines.

FrauPerchta · May 2014

Still getting stuck, the falling through world after jumping started today

zaria · May 2014

previously /stuck caused death and gear decay.
Then people learned to strip before stuck.
Guess they started adding normal teleport fees, normaly you can also travel to wayskrine instead of /stuck anyway.

the other option is to add a 3-10 minutes casting time on /stuck

Never use /stuck.

Open your guild menu or friends list, right click on a name in your alliance, and select "travel to player."

BAM! You're at a wayshrine, and from there, it's easy to get to any other wayshrine.

And yes, death and item decay from using /stuck is a truly awful mechanic. I have the feeling Zenimax did it to prevent players from abusing /stuck in PVP. That's just not a good enough excuse for us to have to pay for their bugs. But at least there's an easy workaround.
