[BUG] Seeker Synthesis is gamebreakingly bugged.

evLRise · January 18

The seeker synthesis set bugs your potion, making it unusable.

This issue appears as "under investigation" in the U44 known issues, and there were multiple videos showcasing the bug and it's triggers sent to the dev team, and even accurate info in regards to what exactly happens with the bug ( the conditional calculation of potion CD returning an undefined value ), but the bug is still present with no mention of it in the U45 info.

How difficult is it to change a few conditional calculations in the set's code?

This bug has been live since Necrom release, which funnily enough is paid premium content, with a fix that takes approximately a minute to spot in the code calculations and twice as much to fix.

Yes, my main got glitched over a month ago, and all i get are generic responses saying it will be patched one day. I dont understand why they wouldn' temporarily remove this crafted set if its permanently bugging peoples potion cooldown, which is effectively game breaking for pve and pvp. I even purchased a race change hoping it would reset my cooldowns, but it did not. Very frustrating.

Sadly because only 4 people in the entire game ever used this set, it's not a high priority for them.

@evLRise or anyone else in the thread, the team would like to take a look at this and see if they can reproduce the results. Do you have any videos that clearly show where the problem occurs or is triggered? Preferably anything where we see it happen. The end result of potions being on eternal cooldown isn't ideal here as it will not show where or how the issue is happening, just the end result.

Hey kevin. I already sent a video to the devs through one of my friends from the official streaming team and I was told the issue was acknowledged by the team and "under investigation".

Here is the video I sent initially:

Explaining everything you need to know.

@evLRise Thanks! The team has it and will take a look. Will follow up if they need anything else.

I just saw this, i logged in today and my charecter is no longer glitched. I wanted to thank you for addressing this. I really do appreciate it.
I was using seekers synthesis, clever alchemist, and 2 rings enchanted to reduce potion cool down timer. I was thinking the cooldown enchants on top of the seeker sets proc may have caused the issue, but it is only a guess. Ive been logging in a few times every week to check on this, and i was really happy to get my grand overlord back today. 🤘 the battle continues.

The set itself is still bugged. Equipping it will make your potion unusable just as in the video posted. If you have a stuck potion you can get it unstuck by equipping the set and killing random monsters until the bug basically procs again, making your potion usable once more. You do need to change instance after getting the bug to be able to fix it tho. If you keep the set equipped afterwards, you will get bugged again.

TLDR: Set has the exact same bug still.

Any potential estimate of a fix?

Should we even expect any sort of fix in the near or far away future?

If the team can't fix the issue, might as well completely rework the set so that it's at least usable. Make it reduce potion cooldowns by a flat 10s, which is definitely weaker than the initial version, but at least more accessible / easy to implement since we already have similar glyphs in-game that work bug free.

@evLRise thank you for clarifying, i hadnt watched your clip and misunderstood. Very valuable info regarding getting "unglitched". never found a fix when researching online, or in reply to my tickets. I have, of course, already destroyed the set, not even deconming it, as is standard procedure in these situations. 🔥
Props.

@evLRise

Thanks that did the trick on at least getting the character usable. VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. I get that it's a bandaid but I wish ZOS would at least put it on the same page as the description of the issue to at least give players an option.

"We are aware of an issue where potions may get stuck in a cooldown state after wearing the Seeker's Synthesis Set. This will be resolved in a future update."

@ZOS_Kevin This gamebreaking bug still remains. This set has been bugged since it came out 2 years ago. We need some feedback.
