Beam spell Visual Bug

Rampeal

There is a Bug right now with a few of my spell's visuals not displaying. My Radiant glory,restoration and lightning staff all do not show the beam when hitting NPC. It seems to only affect beam spells. It may just be Templars I have not talked to any sorcerers yet to see if they have same issue.

Vampire Drain Essence (and it's morphs) are missing the blood stream animation.

I have the same problems that describe Rampeal. There's no more link between my healing stick and the NPC. When i use it there's just a light on the NPC but it's very subtle. It's too bad cause when there are some NPC behind me, i'm no longer see them when i use my stick. (sorry if there'is some mistakes but i'm french).

Yeah I go the same bug with channeled attacks even my storm antronach doesn't show a lighting bolt channel anymore.

I have the same problem
The beams from both resto staff and force shock abilities don't show!
It's difficult to see who is taking damage!
I hope they change the animation for Wall of Elements back to the original animation. The new one sucks.. U can barely see it at times. Why did they change it when it was so cool before.

Lol I didn't know it was possible to type /bug on a console... Pretty sure this is the console forums, right?

Drax76

I read as function/bug, as in Function or bug.

The 'beam disabled' also affected on quests related objects, like a quest in Coldharbour with lining up crystals with beams of light... I had to help a few people get past it. With that quest case though you have to look very close at the current crystal to see which way is facing as the beams are missing...

It is also mob beams as well. So the tether in Vet Fungal Grotto and the draining beams in Vet Wayrest are also not displaying.

Every god damn beam animation that you have in your game is invisible to us now. Holy Kitten, go for it and release a hotfix, will ya?

Winterpsy

Confirmed.

Player and NPC beams have been invisible since patch.

This does need an urgent fix as it's the most obvious bug since the patch

Drax76

Hardly, the Guild Bank bug has a much greater impact, animations missing is merely an inconvenience.

Fungal Grotto.
It's more than "merely an inconvenience". It breaks your ability to deal with some of the bosses mechanics.

I played together with a friend at the weekend and realized that neither my healing nor lightning staff had a beam. However, my friend told me that he can see the beam.

I was wondering whether someone can confirm that the beams are visible for those not using the equipment. If that's not the case I'd assume he's a Skooma addict.

Edit: That light that goes up at the beginning of a Dolmen is also gone. #BeamGate

To be fair, I did say "most obvious" not "most important".

I actually like this bug.

Seeing the jesus beam just gets me attacked more.

Hi guys,

The Beam visual effect on staff will likely be resolved with the next console incremental.

Thanks for your patience.

Noerknhar

And the other 500000 beam Effects that are missing?

Just to clarify to avoid any misunderstanding: ALL beam effects are gone.

myrrrorb14_ESO

But I like the effect without the beam. My hand outstretchs and my enemy writhes in pain. Kind of reminds me of the Star Wars scene.

Maybe fix the load screne bug. Tired of losing 30 minutes of my 2 hrs of gametime per day.

This is not a beam, but the light attack of Overload will stop having a visual effect and (this will need more testing) , but the damage seems to be reduced when this happens.

We will be grateful for ALL things resolved with the next console incremental

A ZOS employee posted an estimated time frame on the next incremental patch over in the general discussion forums.

Looks like it'll probably be at least 3 weeks before things are fixed depending on how long the Sony and Microsoft certification process takes.
