Ultimate ability resetting to zero Ultimate

Slovenian_Gamer

Hey there! I'm having troubles with the Ultimate ability. It is always resetting to 0 Ultimate while I had almost full charged Ultimate. The devs said it's going to be fixed, but when? Thanks for looking at my post :P

in patch 7.1.2 after the fix the rest of the game...

general rule of thumb, if its important, it won't be fixed until its to late

Are you talking about the automatic reset that occurs after 5 minutes of non-combat? I wasn't aware that was considered a bug.

Must be. Because they are times where I used to(before Craglorn patch) be able to craft stuff and talk to people in a city for 40 minutes, and my Ultimate was still fully charged up. BUT, then there were also times where it would just randomly reset in combat...


And now... after Craglorn patch, my ultimate charge just seems to have a mind of it's own. It's broken.

My understanding is that out of battle, reset is normal (after about 5 minutes). Not a bug.

But there's evidently other behavior where it just goes away, even in the midst of battle. Now, that's a bug.

Ahem, I never got Ultimate reset after not battling for a while.

Actually, the worst, most infuriating thing to happen was when I was moving from a pack of enemies I've just killed to a boss and before I could even initiate, my 800+ ultimate points just vanished..

It is actually programmed to reset to 0 after 5 miniutes of no ultimate gains.

it is stupid, yes. Imo, ultimate should naturally generate 1 per 10 seconds!

Wold you happen to have a source for this? Or only personal observation? I'm not doubting you, because recently,(post-Craglorn) I have noticed this pattern as well. (Forcing myself to keep a resto staff on-hand... sigh) But I would like to know from the Devs, if this truly is intentional.

I would also like a definitive response from ZOS regarding this issue.

yeah, the ultimate reset after no combat for 5 mins is kind of a dumb move tbh. Half the time you have to sit and wait for a World Boss to respawn and bam, there goes your ultimate. For a fight that you REALLY needed it.

I agree. There is no point that ultimate should reset at anytime.

I'm not thrilled with the use it or lose it mechanic. Ultimate should persist until death or log out.

your ultimate is infact bugged as is all of us, the ultimate is suppose to get filled and remain filled untill we use it, i also made a thread about this as have many other threads been made about it.

I always get a reset after standing still not doing anything (including typing in chat) then it resets.
But if you type in chat you should be fine, after your walking around, and havnt killed a mob for more then 5min and enter a dungeon you also get reset.

So i guess there are some bugs but ult reset are intended i think as it is some kind of rage build up system.

no, it's not. i have had my ultimate stay up while i went and took a rr break that lasted 40 minutes and i have even had my ultimate stay up while i was out of combat for an entire 4 hrs. and ive seen my ultimate dispier when i spoke to the next quest giver or zoned into or out of zones and instances. its random and extremely annoying.

Hush dude, take your dooms sayer stuff elsewhere. Dude asked a question and gave a answer that makes no sence. You dont like the game home skillet...dont play it. But quit trashing it, you dont look attractive when you complain.

Yes it was made to reset after combat. There are even some add-ons that remind you that it is about to run out of non-combat time.

If they keep that...I don't know.

Haven't you heard? There are no bugs in ESO.

This is a feature to helps you appreciate when you finally get the points to use the Ultimate ability.

So you know that is working as intended? Could you cite your source please for the rest of us that have noticed this and have even reported it as a bug?

I seriously had that happen so many times while trying to loot bodies. I accidentally miss, then try to press R to take all the items, and then boom, accidental ultimate.

It annoyed me enough that I just went and changed the key binding. I changed it to V and that's been working out pretty well so far (I'm not sure if I accidentally unbound something else, since most things were bound).

It happens to me when I die and hit R to respawn at nearest wayshrine. As soon as I materialize, my ulti goes off. Working as intended though I assume.

I have only noticed ult resetting when I fight mobs 5+ levels below me. Other than that it works perfectly fine. My only beef is that as a templar, I have Solar disturbance (300 ult) and empowering sweep (75 ult) and once I use sweep, all 300 of my ult for disturbance is gone Would love it if I could just use sweep freely on mobs and still have disturbance up after 75 ult gains for bosses.

A bit off-topic, but EAT MORE FIBER, dude.

According to zenimax there is a timer on the ultimate, they never gave the specifics but 5 minutes is the general consensus, if you don't enter combat it will degrade.

However the issue is that it will degrade in between pulls, before bosses, when grouping, changing zones and wayshrining.

What makes the bug more annoying is that you will keep your ultimate while idling in town and the moment you warp to another place, go out and do a quest, bam it's gone.

Hope that ZOS will look into this!

Well then if it is NOT being applied consistently then yes, it should be looked at of course. And did I read in the patch notes about it? *wanders off to look*

I'm not sure. That's why I wasn't aware it was considered a bug.

Having it drain after 5 minutes out of combat seems reasonable to me, but I haven't heard any official response to this (or if I have, it was too long ago to remember). This has, to the best of my recollection, been happening since beta.
