Yeah, it the Exploding Familiar not exploding can be an issue.

But they said a fix is in the works.

Gorthax

this is a new bug......it does ZERO damage lol

NotSo

You died like a champ though

Gorthax

that I did lol that I did

Shameless bump right here, @ZOS_JessicaFolsom‌ can we get a confirmation on this? even in your new patch 1.5.4 it is still not doing ANY damage when it explodes or stunning mobs/people

Volatile Familiar is the red headed stepchild in this game. It has been in some form of broken or intentionally nerfed for months on end at this point.

yes but now it does NO damage at all since 1.5

Reported that bug the first day it was introduced. Problem persisted in PTS update 5 and was carried over to live.

On the bright side... exploding scamps are fun to watch, and now that they're even safe to watch without any harm done we can finally use them for... well I'm sure we'll find a use for them.
We will find a use for you, do you hear me little scamp! DO YOU HEAR ME?!



This is heartbreaking.

Gorthax

it is so sad, ZoS will not respond ever....worst community managers and dev team of all time......losing faith in this game every day lol Maybe I should of titled the thread "this is why I love breakfast" that way it was misleading and they would open it up and check it out ONLY to find me complaining about broken mechanics

You know your video shows us nothing right? We can't see the damage you dealt and recount was set on incoming only, you don't have crit surge up so we can't confirm from heals.

Honestly, there may be an issue, but make a better video would ya? And record with OBS (Open Broadcaster System) instead of your phone so we can see what's actually going on.

Also I'd like to point out, it is indeed broken, regardless of the quality of the video.

Gorthax

If you cant see that NO damage is being dealt on the explosion and that mobs are not being stunned though combat cloud says it is, then there is something wrong with you.....just my two cents @Cyhawk‌ :P

p.s. I am vr14 and it only takes two explosions to kill that group of mobs BEFORE 1.5

Erock25

What am I paying ZOS for? Why give them my money when a skill for my main class has been nerfed or broken for months now and since 1.5 has been completely broken? Time to answer my own question and cancel cause I'm tired of paying for an inferior product.

Gorthax

they wont answer....go ahead...tag all the ZoS names you can tag and you will NOT get an answer UNLESS your thread is about cute puppies, what you had for breakfast, or a huge war breaks out in the thread and they have to edit post or close thread

It would be easier not to get angry if the following link was updated to show this is a known issue:

BUT ITS NOT.

No stun either...I could almost live without the damage if the stun was at least functional.

@ZOS_TristanK‌ it is hard to follow your code of conduct when we report this stuff IN PTS but it never gets addressed because you guys are more worried about pushing broken content than polishing it. Then the silence on top of it...

We pay for a service (we can cancel any time we know) and we want the service to work( for the most part lol ) but when you dont even listen to us AFTER BEGGING us to help test, whats the point? The time for being nice is over ( for most). I seriously hope you guys start listening to us who test your big content. if you did then none of this would happen.

I am sure everyone would love functional content versus broken content that takes 1+ months to fix.
