The effect still works, but there's no beam, like no beam from the staff, no beam from soul assault, etc.

And friends list not working.

    Same for me. My shock staff, heavy attack no longer has a lighting effect? I see there is a similar post in the general discussion forum.

    Looks like a bug, ZOS can you comment?

    Friend list wipe was intentional (see dev tracker for official post) but I have not seen any info on how to restore it.

    vampiric drain = no beam aswell plus no staff beam on my lightning staff can confirm, it's quite underwhelming... I miss my flashy beams of death...

    @MissBizz Had a similar issue occur week or two ago, it resolved itself. Do you have the beam issue?

    I'm PS4/PC player, so I'm just letting people know what I have seen posted already. On PC I don't have the beam issue, and PS4 doesn't have it yet...

    BUT, there was another poster who made a thread about radiant oppression (Templar beam) not appearing, so I imagine it's the same issue.

    Unfortunately no resolution in that thread either though :( Hope it gets figured out soon for everyone.

    Yeah, I don't always make it back to threads I comment in (due to the sheer amount of commenting) so its good to ping me. Watch the dev tracker is my tip :/ As I assume people have tried to whole rigamaroll of usual stuff "restart console, restart the game" etc.

    Yes, overall I am loving the new content and fixes but the no animations on lightning staffs, soul strike, etc makes it difficult. Hope this is just a bug and gets fixed quick!

    +1 here as well on the no beam animations on anything. Vampire feed can be added to the list as well. Looks weird standing 4 feet from someone with blood splashing on my face and blood squirting from their neck but nothing in between.

    I would prefer not to mix potential bugs in threads. So let's stick to beams and move friends list elsewhere. Jesus beam (Templar Radiant Oppression) has no beam, Healing staff heavy attack has no beam, basically any attack that use to have a stream graphic that connected the character with its target is gone.

    If this is as designed ZOS, shame on you. If you are trying to resolve Lag issues on the console, you don't go about it by eliminating attack effects that a customer actually plays the game for. We like our beams. What exactly did you ADD to justify eliminating beams? Will we now be able to have a greater draw distance in Cyrodiil? Cause I still don't see enemy characters until it's to late if I'm on my 60 speed mount. Are you trying to reduce lag that wasn't there in the first place when a 100 people were on the screen? That wasn't a problem for me on console.

    You should add beams back in, just make them thinner if lag is the problem you are trying to solve. Because right now, in pvp, no beam for Jesus beam is game breaking. You have no clue where an attack is coming from until it's to late with Jesus beam ...err 'palm'. You just light up and your health bar goes to zero. You need a point of reference from where you are being attacked with long distance spell like Jeaus beam.

    There's also no animation for Shooting Star (Meteor morph). It looks kind of weird when your enemies are violently knocked around by nothing.

    No healing animation when enemy NPC healers are healing the other enemies. This is a HUGE problem, as it makes it very difficult to locate the enemy healers and take them out.

    Same here. No beams on everything that has should have one. No beam when healing either. It's hard to tell if the weapons etc. are working at all. Takes the fun out of using them.
  • Orphenkryscion
    the loss of beams has been noted, checked the dev tracker bout five mins ago, hopefully they fix it soon.

    XB1 -- Constant skills dont show -- my restoration staff and lightening staff dont have the constant skill like before - I couldnt even tell I was attacking anything!!!!

    My chars are Templars and Sorceresses - Animations on both with Skills and Staff screwed up

    I have a V7 V1 several lower chars and all are non playable ue to skill glitches

    Didnt even try to use a wayshrine or fast travel who knows what would happen

    Game crashed 3 times b4 even getting to the load screen

    Guess its back to Destiny and Skyrim

    Thanks ZoS for screwing up what potentially could have been a great game

    I have some some beam animations not showing up for me as well. I don't have all the powers that some of you have, but here is a list of some things I have noticed.

    * No fishing line on fishing pole.
    * Vampire Drain Essence no beam graphic.
    * Vampire Feeding no beam graphic. (I love that trail/beam of blood.)

    That's the main ones I have noticed cause I do lots of vampire stuff and lots of fishing.

    It shouldn't be too bad of a fix. Devs just have to put that back in since the update took them all out.
