Yep, seen your thread already and removed it from the list a few days ago.

I'm having a bug on PS4 where none of my abilities or attacks will work for a short time. It appears that my character is stuck in sprint somehow because my stamina will drain even though nothing is happening. Hitting sprint will bring me out of the bug. Someone told me this was fixed on PC a long time ago but is still a issue on console, but I can't confirm it. This bug is really annoying in Maelstrom.

I submitted a bug report and have been back and forth with zos, but don't seem to be getting anywhere.

This is indeed sprint lock ... It has been fixed in most cases on PC but it still happens from time to time :S

Still thinking about if I should add the new Bugs they implemented for us recently.

I would think that it would be a GREAT idea to fix the bugs in this game b4 you move on to more complex issues like getting rid of the vet ranks

your not losing people because of vet ranks being in the game, but your are because of the numerous bugs that go on forever. I didn't notice (but didn't look at all in complete detail) but being kicked out of Wrothgar when I go into the bank or medium/light armor building near the bank, happen 3-6 times per day depending on how many times it travel there to drop off stuff etc

Note: I am on PS4 NA

So, I know you already have Torug's Pact 2pc as bugged. Issue is that you report that although the 2pc bonus Spell Damage is not showing on the character paper stats, you are indeed receiving the bonus. Initially, I did a quick test and it seemed to be correct. Running a helm and staff 2pc, I unequipped the helm, spell damage stayed the same but tool tips dropped; equipped the helm again and spell damage stayed the same but tool tips returned to normal.

Issue:

Unfortunately, during the initial test I did not have a gold helm with the same enchantment to equip in the helm's place during the quick test. I did not initially account for the loss of max magica...thus less damage on the tool tips. I assumed this to be the loss of spell damage.

Anyway, realized my flawed first test and now have another gold helm to swap out to compare for a more accurate test. Long story short - On PS4, Torug's pact IS broken if we are only going by skill tooltips. Since we don't have damage numbers (damn you ZOS), I cannot test if the damage itself is actually effected. However, there is an interesting twist...see below.

My gear for this test:
Main body: Gold Seducer set
Shoulders: Gold Kena Divines
Helm: See test: Swapping between infused Kena and Infused Torug's light
Wpn: Gold Torug's Resto w/ Precise

For this, I am using a light gold Molag Kena helm with the same enchantment and same trait as a light gold Torug's Pact helm. No buffs active, no food, not in Cyrodiil...

Test 1: With Molag Kena Helm and Torug's Resto staff (thus 2pc Molag Kena has no effect on paper stats and I only have a 1pc Torug's).
* Spell Dmg is 2,808
* Max Magicka is 34,543
* Frags tooltip for 9,630
* Spell Resist is 9,721

Test 2: With Torug's helm (thus same 1pc Kena bonus as above, but now also the 2pc Torug's bonus)
* Spell Dmg is 2,808
* Max Magicka is 34,543
* Frags tooltip for 9,630
* Spell Resist is 11,656

In both tests, the damage tooltips for Crystal frags remains unchanged...thus Torug's 2pc is NOT effecting the Crystal Frags tooltip (remind you, we can't see damage numbers on console so it may or may not actually register there). However, this test did reveal one very interesting thing...when equipping the Torug's 2pc, my Spell Resist went up 1,935, the exact bonus provided by Torug's 4pc (gold).

In summary, Torug's 2pc spell damage is very likely bugged on PS4 and not providing any damage bonus, although it IS providing the 4pc bonus in place of the 2pc bonus.

Two take-aways (aside from Torug's is broken):
(1) We NEED damage numbers and a battle log on console to test this stuff
(2) This NEEDS fixed as I and many others have invested a lot of gold, mats, upgrade materials, kutas, etc in crafting this set...that is broken.

If there is anyone that can think of control factors I may have missed and wants to confirm and/or run their own tests, I would appreciate the confirmation.

Lol, I was just coming to write about this and saw Swift beat me to it.

This bug is wayyyy beyond annoying. It happens to me at least once an hour in PvP, though often quite more frequently! Seems to happen less frequently in PvE, but happens often enough there as well.

Reverberating Bash, you can get stunned by this (and often are) even if you are immune to cc atm, it also ignores dodging and will hit no matter what.

I had this reported, Gina said that the window to dodge this would be incredibly small but it would be dodgable and thus working as intended :')

Bug after 2.2.9 update
I can not reproduce this bug but it happened
If weapon is holstered walking is normal, if not walking is weird ... see for yourself anyway
The problem seems to be when you try to walk by pressing W and A or W and D simultaneously.

Currently the "Crime Pays" achievement is bugged because after intimidating a merchant the achievement does not update thus making it impossible to complete,not a big issue but considering the amount of time needed to complete the "Lightbringer" and "Give the poor" achievements would be nice to get it fixed.

Have you been taking the backpack after? This is the achievement progress trigger I believe. I have been doing this fine.

Hm, sounds extremely wierd as ive been hit by this mid dodge, literally while being mid air in the dodge animation, if that is not enough then the window needs to be increased.

I aggree with you, I can submit it again I guess but chances they would fix this are really small as they already denied the issue here.

@Xantaria I think you should put the dates when those bugs were discovered and reported on your list so we actually see how slow/lazy/doesnt bother ZOS is.

TwelveGaugeSage

Fighters Guild is still bugged. It is only bugged on one of my characters, but still very annoying. I'm glad ZOS can fix fishing in Wrothgar, but how about fixing something like this that actually effects game play in some tangible way? They claim it is a known issue. How about making it a resolved issue?

EgoRush

Two new bugs if running double dual wield (DW) bars.

Bug 1: All armour pieces and jewellery are identical. However, I have a DW bar with 2 Torug Swords (spell damage bonus) and a DW bar with 2 Julianos Swords (spell critical bonus). On Torug bar my character sheet shows correct spell damage. Swap to Julianos bar and the spell damage remains in the character sheet but you now get the spell critical bonus. Swap back to Torug and the spell critical sticks too. So your character sheet makes it seem as if you have the spell damage and spell critical bonus on both bars. This is also reflected by tool tip damage. However, hitting mobs with skills does the correct damage. So it is just a bug of the character sheet.

Bug 2: All armour pieces and jewellery are identical. First DW bar has 2 legendary Torug's Swords, second DW bar has 2 epic Torug's Swords. Spell damage on legendary bar is correct. However, on the epic bar the spell damage is missing completely. I.e. running double DW Torug's removes the Torug spell damage bonus from your off bar. This IS reflected in tool tips and in the actual damage of the skill on a mob. Therefore, this is more than just a character sheet bug, it is breaking the set bonus. Even more confusing is if I swap one of the legendary swords with one of the epic swords so the bars are identical, my first bar has higher spell damage than my second bar and this again is reflected in the damage from skills.

Notes: I tested this on magicka Templar and my skill load outs on the bars were identical. No buffs present during tests or anything that could interfere with the damage.

Added some new Bugs

I think there is a bleed exploit to make it apply to steel tornado

TwoFingersInCider

I don't know if this been told already but under dungeon bug: spindleclutch 2nd boss.. He sometimes transform too early.. Not sure if we need dps to kill all 3 waves or something like that or is it a bug.. But I confirm that this boss won't give you the loot since its bug(can't pick up loot). Another this is DK earthern heart skill line eruption.. I don't know if it's a tooltip error but it say that you deal X amount of damage right away and deal Y amount of damage every "0" secs. Anyways I tried it and the dot works perfectly fine but I'm not sure if it deals the right amount of damage since I test it on console.

Sacred-G

So one of the enchanter hirelings named Melina Cassel has been sending me the same letter for like a month now. The attachments change like they should, but the text of the letter hasn't changed in forever. Maybe this is normal when the letter content runs out? Or maybe a bug?

@Nifty2g
if you do steeltornado and animation cancel it with a weapon swap to a 2h axe would be the only way I could think of. (and yes that works, *** broken axe)

That is just a tooltip error, the skill itself should work as intended.

The Spindleclutch boss is fixed on Pc alredy and will probably be soon fixed on console if it hasn't already been fixed.

Since Tuesday, Necrotic/Mystic Orb doesn't give back magicka anymore when the synergy is used (only the Undaunted Command gives back magicka).

We tested it with different persons, different classes, levels, morphed and unmorphed, in dungeons and outside (PC)
