Clouding Swarm Bugged

With the changes to how vampirism works and the passives not working unless a skill or bat swarm is slotted from the skill line it is paramount that the 2 skills and 1 ultimate work as they should be.

Please let us know someone has been notified about it. Just to clarify again:
Mark target allows you to be seen by everyone in clouding swarm - been that way since 1.6 [Bug?]

Single target attacks still hit you in clouding swarm by both players and NPC - This was never the case before

Single target attacks that have knock backs can completely knock you out of invis status in clouding swarm and looks like you are in devouring swarm.

Thank you for looking into this and hope to hear that it is indeed being checked on.

@Xantaria This was missed in your update today. It was posted after Ginas last reply.

hammayolettuce · September 2015

@Xantaria you can add this as well with the mist form bug ...

Along with my previous post about clouding swarm being bugged as well.

Ashtaris · September 2015

@Xantaria, you might want to add this one to the list concerning the NB skill "Mirage" from the Assasination skill line:

http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/220386/is-the-nb-assasination-skill-mirage-broken

Need to have some others test it to make sure, but it sure seems like a borked skill to me.

Docmandu · September 2015

Maybe also add the "stuck in combat for much longer than necessary" bug to the list. ZOS knows about it, but wouldn't hurt to list it, so this bug won't have to survive the 2 year mark.

Struggle daily with that one... if I'd be playing on console, I would have broken so many windows by throwing my controller through it due to that one.

This one even survives through death... was standing in front of the Cyrodiil quest NPC to turn in my Kill X quest, tried to switch to my training gear with Wykkid Outfitter and couldn't because.... I WAS IN-COMBAT... took 2 minutes of waiting for it to drop for a split second.. then after turning in the quest, couldn't switch back, because.. I WAS IN-COMBAT again.

Recently been thinking of keeping a diary of frustration events when playing ESO.. but doubt I'd have enough paper (or diskspace) :-)

Yes it does. See alot in here thats false. Stop updating this. Your posting false reports of all hear say.

@RatedChaotic get off mate. im reporting a bug that affects me and does not work not damn hear say. its a PS4 bug and just because it works for you doesn't mean it works for me.

I'll make a video if you want but leave off disputing something i've tested and claim im stating hearsay everything i report i test myself.

its not working on PS4 for me. i have killed around 200-500 mobs with my 50 still empty soul gems.whether its V16 in IC or V11 as a V13 in craglorn. or even in other lower VR areas. all 50 are still empty. IT DOES NOT WORK! id accept if the 5% was 1% or 0.1% not that i can be certain if i have to count 1000 mobs. but it doesn't work at all for me.

EDS604 · September 2015

often i will get stuck in cursor mode. i have no idea what makes this happen. have to press the "." button to get out, but when closing a dialog i get back in cursos mode again. need to relog for this to end.

skoomatrait · September 2015

According to Alcast -> video: one of the fighters guild trap morph is buged, might be another as well...

Sun Fire and it's morphs (templar) don't apply snare on enemy playes. This issue also happens with Crippling Grasp (Nightblade)

I didn't see this written in the bugged skills you listed. Shooting Star (Meteor morph) seems to have lost its animation. This is something I could reproduce 100% of the time both in and out of Cyrodiil. Went back to using Ice Comet but I am sure that this will be exploited and definitely needs a fix. (PS4 NA)

@Xantaria Can confirm this - no SS animation, ground effect appears then the knockback occurs. I've been on the receiving end of this too - it seemed to momentarily lag me out whilst the animation was supposed to be playing.

Are you sure that was not a reflected meteor? for those it is normal ... on the first reflect you can kinda see it but it looks weird, when it gets reflected again (skills can be reflected twice at max) it will bug out completely and exactly what you just described will happen.

Absolutely certain it isn't a reflect - experienced in both PvE and PvP, 100% of the time. No SS drop indicator, the ground turns blue and then they get the knockback - I'd recommend trying it out, it's a little amusing the first few times.

EDIT: PS4, btw

EDIT2:

Okay, I just went to record an example of this and it worked perfectly - either this has been fixed (?) or it is only an issue with Shooting Star rank 1- mine had just gone up to rank 2. Can anyone with it at rank 1 check this please?

Final edit (honest):

Found an example in my capture gallery - this was at rank 1. You can see that I use SS and the animation doesn't play properly:

PS4 has 14 minute long videos, how many mobs do you wish me to kill in 14 minutes with no greater soul gem being filled?
20 should fill one on average. Would 40 suffice or do you need 200 or something daft in the 14 minutes.

PS. the fact you think I'm either lying or stupid is directed at me sir. when you quote me it is directed at me. I have 4 empty soul gems from friday and ranked up from VR14 to VR16 in IC and unlocked a dark ether and a bone shard chest. And have only ran in groups of 4 or less. (mostly 2 man), and have 13k stones. and you know what else i have .... 4 empty soul gems.

but if the public demands video evidence i shall do my best if i can upload it to FB at that file size then import it to vimeo.

Fruity_Ninja · September 2015

Sorry had a quick look through the last few pages, couldn't find it.

Is anyone on Xbox (or PS4) having an issue hearing any form of voice chat in game? My zone chat is on since the patch, and I see the small gamertag/name popup in the bottom right corner when a player is talking. But no sound. I have in game sound, I hear voice in all other games- but not ESO voice chat.

It was working perfectly fine until the day the game patched. The game was already lacking with no text chat, now with no voice, it just feels even more hollow.

Is anyone else experiencing this, and if so has it been discussed as a potential bug that could be listed in this thread? Or is it some kind of isolated case, and I'm just unlucky.

They said to me that they know about the issue of being still infight after dying but that everything else related to staying in combat is intended.

P3ZZL3 · September 2015

@Xantaria Just a thought mate. Maybe you could add along side or below each bug the status as far as we know from ZOS. i.e.e Acknowledged, being worked on, fixed, etc...

Not sure how much info @ZOS_RichLambert is feeding back to you?

hmm hmm after watching that thread I saw that Zenimax already took notice of it but tbh I'm not sure if there is something bugged.

Same kinda goes for the clouding sawrm ... single target attacks still hitting you makes sense when they were initiated before you went into your swarm. Mark target working on you in Clouding Swarm, I honestly don't know wether this is intended or not. I added the issue with the knockback attacks being able to knock you out of the invisibility granted by Clouding Swarm.
Thank you!

Good Suggestion, I'm not that much in contact with Rich and I'm only contacting him directly when I gain knowledge of something incredibly gamebreaking. But Gina commented on a lot of the issues so I should be able to put a status there. It will just take a bit of time as my real life is kinda chaotic right now.

A lot of work, moving to a different place and more.

Zenimax took note of the issue several months ago but they haven't said anything since then. Since this thread is a compendium of all current bugs, and all of the issues I listed were never the case prior to this update minus the mark target which I'm sure was overlooked by Zos. Please add clouding swarm and mist form to the list, AOE was the only way before hand to take dmg in clouding swarm as you are in fact invis and are not able to actually be targeted.

rfennell_ESO · September 2015

Anyone have a clue as to the stamina drain bug (or exploit)?

Basically you enter combat versus another player.. don't do anything different than you normally do... look down and you are out of stamina.

PS it's mostly (as far as I can tell, I don't have a realistic way of noting what makes my stamina disappear) dks that do this to you.

Charging Maneuver / Rapid Maneuver (Assault): @stevenbennett_ESO : For some characters/players, correctly buffs walking/running speed, but has no effect on mounted speed. More likely to happen on characters below VR1, but I've seen reports of it on some veteran chars as well. More likely to happen with unmorphed Rank I Rapid Maneuver, but I've seen reports of it at other ranks and morphs. Happens regardless of mount speed training (I've seen it with 0% and others have seen it at 60%). Happens both in PvE areas and Cyrodiil. 100% reproducible on characters it happens with. There are several threads reporting it (here, here, and here), including one from August back on the PTS (here). And I made a video demonstrating it: Video EDIT (2.1.6): Still people have issues with this!

@Xantaria Retreating Maneuvers is also not working as intended, because we're still being stunned while it's up, despite its tooltip claim.

This is a very difficult problem ... charge abilities / gap closers with the exception of the nightblade gap closer lock you in place for a short duration ... I don't think this is defined as a stun / root / snare by Zenimax.

So I'm not sure how to report this issue.

If this was a general problem there would be more talk about it. I recommend asking technical support for help.

Getting hit 13-15k damage from one single Camoflage Hunter, when attacked from sneak. This is new to me in 2.1.

Also many guildies reporting the same. Even heard about people being hit for 30k with one Camoflage Hunter.

I really dont dont if bug or actual exploit. Maybe not obeying Battle Spirit or something messed up with the sneak bonus? Normally that proc does around 3-5k dmg in PvP.

Regardless, sure as hell cant be indented that a proc does more dmg than any ultimate or single target hard hitter lol.

I'm pretty sure you are getting hit by a glass cannon that crits and procs at the same time. It can totally happen. A 100% fix for this is not to be a Vamp (or WW).

I dont think so, not when the players Focus Aim from sneak only does standard sneak dmg, like 8-9k. Than a 15k Camoflage Hunter out of nowhere, doing way more dmg than the actual sneak attack. No weapon power stacking in the world can get a skill proc to do such numbers, with Battle Spirit in place, unless some mechanic or calculation is of.

Fighters Guild skills have a long history of being bugged after pretty much every major patch.

Yes I've been through the silver shards and old camo hunter glitches last year. I'll do a little number crunching. You may be right, but I honestly think in this case there is another explanation.

If you experience crazy amounts of Camouflaged Hunter damage after the rearming trap hotfix, let me know. Because I experienced that when I was stuck in a trap and it procced countless times on me and Camouflaged Hunter damage numbers in my death recap got insane.

Sounomi · October 2015

Battle leveling doesn't apply to a sorcerer's summons. Probably hasn't cropped up yet since you need an addon to even see their levels but it certainly does hurt lower level sorcs that make use of summons in battle leveled areas.
