Fleshy Symbiont?

ZOS_JasonLeavey

Hey @Ourorboros. You are correct, this fix for the bug involving drops of Flesh Atronachs hasn't been deployed this week. But we are still working to get this fixed soon for a future patch!

You guys, aint got duky on me! I have farmed the flesh atronacks in Malaba Tor for 7 days straight and went from lvl 28 to lvl 40 and I cant farm them any more because @ lvl 40 they dont drop anything. Took me 3 weeks to lvl my NB up high enough so I could farm those atronacks. I was lvl'ing my DK and stopped just so I could get the Fleshy Symbiont. Its the only one I need for completion. I really want to see just how white that dye is from that one. So, all in all I wasted 4 weeks to finally find out its broken.

With all this frustration and time seriously WASTED I wish they could give us an ETA on the fix for this so that we could know when to go farming for it again. Would be nice for them to do that after all we have been through to only find out that its broken(not our fault). Some sort of compensation should be given I would think.(Yeah, like thats gunna happen!)

Now I wonder if any of the other trophy items are glitched. Spent 3 hours last night & 4 hours today so far trying to farm for a Ectoplasmic Discharge from ghosts and no luck so far.

@ZOS_JasonLeavey , another week without Fleshy Symbiont being addressed. This thread is a month old. I'm no programmer, but this doesn't seem like it would be that hard to correct. By this time work on console must be close to finished since release is only weeks away. That should mean resources can shift back to fixing bugs, improving the game (lag), and getting DLC ready. I'm trying to be patient but the lack of any progress is not making it easy.

Only one that I haven't been able to get is the Fleshy Symbiont, so I can attest to the other trophies being achievable, but that has been about one or two months ago, so who knows. Maybe that one "glitched" out since I picked it up. The RNG is atrocious on some of these items, so you may have to farm over 1000 to get yours and with others it only take 5. One thing is certain, the Fleshy Symbiont has been miserable for me. I have leveled past it with 5 toons and had to re-roll another just for the opportunity to go back through Abamath. (That has been a very painful process considering I had a fully trained horse and now I have a Yugo - with all the associated space and speed that illustrious car provided!)
ZOS, while I have noted that your claims of "fixing" the load screen times were highly exaggerated (along with the "Crown bug", the numerous crashes due to MS 8 and the other myriad "fixes" that have been stated in patch notes - yet, shown to all be lip service and not fixed at all), I agree with Ouroboros when he states, "I'm no programmer, but this doesn't seem like it would be that hard to correct."
C'mon ZOS, it's been over a year of paid Beta Testing for the console game, throw us a bone and get the nagging issues of the past year sorted out, add some new content and tighten things up.

Still not fixed...... Guess we need to keep spamming bug tickets in the hope they will take action

It's something to do with the new flesh atro models. I grinded the new models to no avail and gave up. Then randomly when I was questing on an alt, the boss in the quest transformed into the old model, and dropped the trophy.

Just recently I was grinding for the Fleshy Symbiont (I rarely grind for trophies, but I saw my chances when I was in Malabal Tor).. good to know why it didn't drop..
Well, I'll just give up on them; by now I only have ONE category completed, so.. yeah.

Dear Jason,

do you mean the next "bigger" patch after console-release? Or moooore in the future?

Soon, "sooner" or "soonest"?

When Masser and Secunda collide.
When Molag Bal is friends with Meridia.
When Dolmens drop lollipops.
When the planes of Oblivion freeze.
When the rest of all bugs are fixed.

Has anyone picked up a Fleshy Symbiont from a Flesh Atronach in the last month? I'm down to two collectibles to have them all, and of course, Fleshy Symbiont is one of them. Please drop a note here if you got one recently. I wouldn't mind grinding for one, but the XP is too low for the best grind location without knowing there is a chance for a drop. It's been a few months now since this thread started, and in typical ZOS fashion, they say nothing, do nothing.

I got this response after inquiring about this to Customer Support:

Thank you for contacting The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited Team.
I'm sorry this issue is still causing trouble. We haven't forgotten about it. We already found a fix and will deploy it with one of the next bigger updates. I apologize for the inconvenience.

So, I guess the good news is it will get fixed at some vague point in time. However, I can't help but be dissatisfied by how this issue has played out. It epitomizes the way ZOS operates, and at least from a customer satisfaction point of view, it highlights their poor communication and lack of respect for players. I have to ask, If a fix is ready, why could it not have been pushed with one of Monday maintenance sessions, why the delay, and why do we get no communication unless complaining outside the forum? I think ZOS has been holding back fixes like this, and many others, so they can roll out an impressive list post console release to distract us from no new content being released post console. Of course, they would never admit this.

They can't release it just yet, they still need to create 2 new bugs to replace the fixed one...

More seriously, I have never been able to get a collectible through farming. I have farmed thousands of storm and frost atronachs in Craglorn (ended up getting a Crackling Lodestone randomly during a run of Tempest Island if I'm not mistaken), and tigers, bears, mammoths, giants and trolls in The Rift. Not a single collectible after hours of mindless killing. This isn't fun. It isn't challenging. It's down to pure luck (or lack of it). And that is admitting some other collectibles aren't bugged as well - I can't for the life of me understand why I get dwemer collectibles whenever I so much as sneeze at a dwarven spider, but can't get a troll skull after hours of farming...

Nothing in today's patch notes about Fleshy Symbiont. This seems like a pretty big update today, considering several major changes were implemented. So why wasn't the bug fixed, when they have a fix for it? This lack of response to game issues is becoming permanently attached to the company's reputation. I still love the game, but ZOS can kiss my squirrel. @ZOS_JasonLeavey, care to try your hand at explaining the delay?

Leggi

@ZOS_JasonLeavey , any news?
Will we finally be able to find that fleshy symbionit?

JacksonCarter13

BUMP! I want my last collectible.

Unfortunately one thing to do and that is ticket spam the support

This was said six months ago in a ticket answer. Trophy hunting is about it for endgame content, and we keep finding more and more small things that are broken. The small things, the ones that are a quick easy fix, are actually the last things you guys have fixed. Makes no sense.

This game could stand to have a major patch every week fixing the small stuff, but all we get are new items in the shop, maintenance once a month. Stop putting off the small stuff and feeding us the "we are working on it" line.

Oh, and it's kind of an unwritten rule in the forums now that if you use the word "soon", it also gets the ™ attached, ie. Soon™. This will be fixed soon™

It's been a long known Bug now. Tell me when is it fixed? Or do you just focus your work on Console Players now?

- It's the last Trophy i need!

Blade_07

Been wondering when they gunna fix this my self. I'm thinking its an easy fix so why make us wait so long? O.o This bug is effecting many players that need it but its STILL NOT FIXED! >.<

Hey @ZOS_JasonLeavey have you any updates on this fleshy drop? Starting a couple new characters and I would like to work on finding collectibles my main hasn't found yet.. unfortunately this is one of them. I'm kind of hoping it gets fixed in an incremental, and not wait until "The Big One" hehe.

ZOS_JasonLeavey

Hey there, guys. Apologies for the delayed response. The fix is indeed scheduled to go live during our next major update. We know you are eager to see this resolved, so thanks for hanging tight while we've work to get this resolved.

Hey everyone,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! We've investigated and as you mentioned, there is certainly a bug affecting this drop. We'll be working to get this fixed and we'll give you an update once we have one. Thanks again for keeping us in the loop!

ZOS_JasonLeavey wrote: »

Hey @daemonios,

To follow up with your question, the discovered issue is only affecting drops from Flesh Atronachs. Other Atronachs appear to be dropping their collectibles at the desired rates.

Is there any chance of checking collectible drops from all mobs? Particularly in VDSA, I can't recall getting collectibles, but it is surprising to not have so many of them despite regular game play.

For your all interest I have gotten fleshy symbiot in 1.5 from dolmen enemies.

@Personofsecrets I think we were more concerned about current - in 1.6 and 2.0

Thanks for the news, even though it's disappointing. Hopefully I can find somewhere in my vet levels to find it.

Don't know about the rest of you, but I don't see this response as particularly helpful. "Next major update" is so vague, it is meaningless. Apparently, it does NOT refer to weekly maintenance, even though a few bug fixes have been pushed through in the last few weeks. Does 'next major update' mean when Imperial City and VR16 are pushed? Who knows, and apparently it's a closely held secret, since all ZOS offical replies have been like the canned response above. I would like to know why there is an undetermined delay on pushing this fix, when the fix is ready, and this has been a reported issue for months. How about it, @ZOS_JasonLeavey ? I'm down to 2 collectibles left, and of course, Fleshy Symbiont had to be one of them.

If you mean you got the drop before the 1.6 patch of the game, how do you think that will help us? 1.5 is ancient history. It's not dropping now in this version, and that's what affects player now and at least since 1.6 dropped. Now if you got the drop since 1.6, that would be welcome news. It would mean there is a chance of a drop, however slim.

All throughout "ancient history" it did not drop for me, so I think this is a good information...

Oh, people have it, it USED to drop before.

"Next major update" is always a BIG one, AKA 1.6, 1.5, etc. So yes, next Major update would be IC @Ourorboros , and that's lame I really wanted to grab all the collectibles on my 2 new alts as I level, rather than have to "grind" to get them on a VR.
