95% of my deaths are due to bugs

ZoM_Head

Bugs such as my character not actually casting his healing spell (templar), despite having full magicka. Or just stands like an indiot taking damage from 3+ enemies (veteran 6 mind you) and just not doing what im asking him to do.

These deaths would not be a big deal, except having a crafted armour set and enchanted causes me to spend more gold on repairs due to bugs. One area my character died 3 times to the exact same mob due to him not casting a simple healing spell. No, my character was not thrown, stunned, disoriented or frozen (magic wise) by the enemy.

Can you imagine veteran 6 dark anchors, how ZOS makes it an oblivion invasion and as a healer you are not able to cast a healing spell ?

Is this a bug? is it lag? what is it? I love this game, but for 2 days now all of my character's deaths were due to this exact bug, not being able to cast a healing spell.

Anyone else getting this?

yeah sometimes when I try to cast spells on myself (self-healing) it'll say your target is too strong for that spell. Then I'd die, and be very frustrated.
I guess I'm just too strong for my own spells.

It helps to say so. I also blame the khajiits I live with getting jealous of my keyboard's attention, starving family members claiming conversation is a dying art, (lol little do they know I took both guild options) and even my own incompetence when I mash the wrong key, (slippy cushion to prevent wow elbow, thx doc). Rare that last one. I blame Zenimax for nerfing friction in the last patch. grrrr

I've died a shed load of times due to bugs; lag plays a part but the biggies for me are that the skills keys (1-5) simply stop working, skills animate but don't do damage, the weapon swap key stops working and melee blows pass through a MOB; even when keys do work they often seem unresponsive.

I haven't noticed this really sometimes my ambush attacks will not work right, but not to the point that it messes me up. Also changed my weapon swap to mouse scroll click. I had a real problem hitting that tilde key

I have commented on this as well. I agree 100%, 95% of my deaths are due to the game bugs littering the classes. It's annoying.

Calorath

100% of my deaths since Craglorn have been due to being beaten to death by things I cannot see! Literally, 100%. I have not done Cyrodiil so you guys haven't had a shot lately, but I will be wandering in my area, get dismounted, my health stays full, I wander around, then I insta-die, rez with a gem, and a few minutes later I see mobs. Craglorn has ruined this game. Don't get me started on loading screens every ten to fifteen seconds...

LameoveR

95% of my deaths happens when i'm drunk :`(

Cogo

Most my deaths are cause of I mess up! Not joking.....

jamie.goddenrwb17_ESO

Actually I've noticed that Rushed Ceremony/Honor the Dead have been getting stuck in combat for the last week or so. I was assuming that I was being spell locked somehow but if it's a bug I'd feel less inept

Columba

Got killed tonight by perma invis mobs, got stuck. Logged, ended up dead in another zone. This game is the buggiest thing I've seen in 25 years. Really poor quality.

gotgk

Critter bug.

Stabbina

For my templar, (since he hit V1 content) I'd say 95% because of bugs is a bit high. I'd estimate that about 75% is because of bugs + lag. (Anybody out there hit weapon swap more than 1x because it seems to fail and then can't figure out which ability bar is active in the frenzy of the fight?) The other 25% is divided into 2 groups: mistakes from my side and mistakes from ZOS. (I consider the design to have 2 or more mobs destroy templars a design mistake...)

ZoM_Head

Well, yes lag is technically not a bug. So i'd say 75% of my character's deaths falls down to lag and another 20% falls to bugs (no animation from enemy, getting hit from invisible spells and such).

Absynthe

Yeah, I've noticed the "getting stuck/frozen/whatever" bug(s) quite a bit too. Very annoying. >.<

cjmarsh725b14_ESO

Can't really help you, 95% of my deaths are from an enemy player nuking my face in.

I've had it happen a ton lately. It's not lag. My healing spells will be grayed out even at full magicka until i die. There's no d-buff on me and no "blue dome of no magicka usage". I can still use my offensive spells, but the defensive spells on the same action bar are grayed out. Then it randomely comes back. Happens against all kinds of mobs, some mele, some ranged.

I've noticed that it'll be randomely grayed out when i'm targeting the npc. While in the same fight, if I turn away from the npc so I'm not targeting him, the spells are usable again.

This is what i experience right now.

Captainbristol0

Yep, I also get these bugs from time to time.

Stabbina

@coryevans_3b14_ESO: This is a known bug. It's because there is a critter near. To confirm this, go near a critter, hover mouse over it, watch healing abilities lock out. I hear it's even when the critters are far away behind stuff (walls etc.). This is killing people everywhere, especially in delves. I do think ZOS mentioned they have a fix ready for it.

That's interesting, i'll try that out. If this is true, I pitty any critter I see in the world.

Thanks for pointing this out. I don't know how many times I've helplessly watched my Templar's health bar run out while I frantically mashed the heal button.

Edit: Any idea when the fix will be implemented?

Daethz

Agreed.
And unbalanced spells, such as a npc's casted stun that effectively stuns you for ~10 seconds, you cant break out of it in any way and the mobs keep dealing 100% damage during it.

Natjur

90% of my deaths are caused by me playing my Templar instead of playing my Sorc or DK

And if you played DK 99.99% of your deaths would likely be caused from not using destrostaff

I use 7 light armour & staffs (Destruction Staff/Restoration Staff) on all my toons. Are your saying there is other weapons besides staffs? Really, I tried one once but this thing called 'stamina' is broken.

HardyHero

Same here... and because of this...

Frustrating.

All the bugs I have encountered in ESO.

In the beginning of my ESO experience i had massive lag issues only to find out that a program used by the game named AwesomiumProcess.exe was causing massive lag spikes every 30 seconds to a minute make the game unplayable. Pull up the task manager and end process, make the game run great.

The blocking bug, I block a bunch of mobs and my keys become unresponsive. Results in a death and a relog.

2nd Blocking bug, block mobs and become stuck and cannot move around but can cast. Results in a relog most of the time but death still can occur.

Mouse bug, at random times my mouse stops responding so you can't block or bash. Results is death and a relog.

Keyboard bug, sometimes it just stops working all together. Complete restart of the game fixes it, rare but happens once a day.

These bugs still happen just not at the frequency as the past. This game is by far the most bugged game I've ever played. Not to mention that your screen name is visible by everyone and accessible by everyone in game with the mail functions. So if someone wants to hack they already have your login name, they just need to crack your password. When you write a ticket they ask for your secret question in an email to prove ownership. So your secret question as most people probably use the same or similar answers is just floating around on the internet for someone to grab. ESO is actually violating its own rules.

Did you play Oblivion and/or Skyrim? Bugs there are much worse, since you may end up just deleting the 80+ hour profile you made due to quest progression blocks (killing a certain NPC, picking up a certain item for a quest by mistake etc).

I know what you mean when your character just stops responding, happened a lot previously, now i do not recall getting that anymore, but who knows, i max jinx it.

One mistake does not justify another.
