Shooting Star visuals (Meteor morph)

SahrotRein

In my whole time of playing ESO I've never gotten to actually morph Meteor into Shooting Star untill just recently. Meteor has an actual projectile that hits the ground unlike Shooting Star, where the projective doesn't appear, rather it only starts with the light-blue spot on the ground with no casting animation.

Is that intended or just a bug that has been overlooked for far too long? That way nobody, neither the caster or the target, can tell if the ultimate is gonna hit them.

Edit: This no longer is the issue for me. It went away 2 days after I posted this thread, which btw was half a year ago so let's not bring up my old threads cause that seems to happen all the time, lol. I'd assume it's only a temporary bug, stick with it around for a bit and see if it fixes on its own.

I thought it was just me. I've noticed this as well and it's led to combat confusion as I wonder if I even cast the ultimate at all.

Exactly. I even asked around in guilds and some players confirmed this as well altough I still wanted to start this thread.

i have the same problem, i think it is just a bug

I play on PS4 and found out Shooting Star was bugged a few days ago too. I chose this morph over Ice Comet before a respec JUST so I could see what it looked like! Kindy funny tbh. Submitted a report to ZOS ingame so hopefully it gets fixed soon. For now I bet it's really unfair in PvP.

It is likely connected to the animation bug so many skills are affected by and as such should be fixed with the October incremental patch.

It's a bug, has been since IC patch.

They simply haven't bothered fixing it yet.

This is still going on, i just got Shooting Star today and every time I use it there is no animation other than the blue fire on the ground and the occasional mob getting thrown around. Is ZOS aware of this? Hope its resolved soon, Meteor worked fine with animation ... but just the shooting star morph doesnt (not sure about ice comet though )

It does have a meteor that comes down.. however, the animation is broke and I only actually see it about 10% of the time

When I first morphed it I had the same issue, ie only blue ground showing and some mobs getting thrown about. But after some time it actually fixed itself and I can now see that satisfying comet shoot down and blast things apart.
Though a question, with the AoE cap does the ultimate generation only depend on the first 6 mobs as well or does ultimate build up with increasing number of people it hits? If the AoE cap applies then I am tempted to go for the other morph instead (Higher damage done on those 6 mobs)

I was very suspicious about meteor when 1.7 hit because everyone and their mother was using meteor. It was later that i realized SHOOTING STAR animation is bugged. The only way for you to know if you got hit by Shooting Star is if your health suddenly drops or if you suddenly die.. lol

The AOE cap works differently, you hit all targets but target 1-6 take 100% damage, target 7-24? take 75% etc.

You get ultimate for all targets you hit which makes Shooting Star a really cheap ulti if you use it right.

I thought it was just me. Ok bug number 1371 on the list...

i have it being dk/fire etc, i find you still get the indication ring around the enemies feet. its only the projectile animation you don't see which is horrible if it gets reflected back at you as you get no ring around your feet. (I have had the full animation play a few times in PvE so it is a bug)

Ah, thank you for explaining. That makes it a bit better

Volkodav

I've never seen a skill that is Shooting Star.Interesting. :}

W0lf_z13

any news if ZOS is working on fixing this issue?

OtarTheMad

I am still having this issue with Shooting Star so, not fixed yet apparently.

xylena

still having this bug also

WillhelmBlack

It will be to do with the guards now using it. Every skill they give to the guards bugs. Eclipse, Bash etc

AKSb16_ESO2

Still not working. I did a morph respec yesterday and did not choose Ice Comet but Shooting Star, and never saw any animation. So it still seems to be bugged.
