Werewolf Bite Bug (Multiple Devour Active Effects, cannot get Sanies Lupinus)

Glaiceana

I'd just like to report a bug where a lower level character cannot be bitten correctly. I tried this on my Level 10 character in Daggerfall. Apparently this is a known issue?
Anyway, both me and @Megurezza were bitten. Instead of the character becoming bloodied and falling to the ground, they instead stand there and receive only the blood decal. Also, in the character screen, you can see multiple "Devour" effects, but not Sanies Lupinus.

I was advised by the player who bit me that this may never disappear and could be permanently bugged on this character now, as it happened on his old character, that was even lower level. (We believed that level 10 would be safe to try)

See screenshots below.




I did submit a /bug report in game also, if that helps.

EDIT: STILL PRESENT IN GAME AFTER UPDATE 12!

Megurezza

Was writing the same.
I attached my screenshot too
Please solve this problem, it's quite irritating to delete a char.

Glaiceana

Also, I'd like to point out that we were bitten by the same character. Which means that if someone wanted to troll people, they could stay at the werewolf shrine and spam their bite on any low level players, therefore spreading the irreversible bug.

Update: Received a reply from support, was advised that logging out for 5 mins can fix many issues. This has not solved this one. Character is still bugged, see screenshot below:

Let something kill you. I had this happen, tried everything. finally, let something kill me, then got re-bitten naked. Remove everything! Hope that helps.

Thank you for your reply! I can confirm that dying removed the spammed "Devour" effects. I am now waiting on someone to bite me, and will report if it happens again.

If you need a bite, what faction?

Glaiceana

It is my DC character on EU server. One of my guild mates is working on levelling his wolf at the moment, and might be able to bite me in a few hours if you cannot

SilentRaven1972

Ok. Had you been NA server, I coulda got ya. Hope it works! ETA:Maybe I should add a few EU characters

Glaiceana

It worked! Thank you @SilentRaven1972 I let my guild members know that this is a fix as well!
So I did exactly as you said, removed everything wearable, even put away my current pet just in case! I was able to be bitten, and successfully acquired Sanies Lupinus. From there I was very lucky to get the mammoth boss, and after getting some potions and food that would help, I was able to defeat the level 38 boss with my level 10 character! I hope that @Megurezza is able to do the same as me and fix her glitch too See screenshots of proof below!

Getting the bite!


Proof of infection:


Tough battle! Took 4 attempts, first 2 I had no potions or food buffs, once I had those, fought it a 3rd and then a final 4th time for the defeat.


Look at these weak stats! Amazed my alt was able to do this!

SilentRaven1972

Congrats! I'm glad it worked for you, and hope it works for others. My brother discovered that, if you die a few times, the HP goes down some, at least with the mammoth. He did it at lvl 4 with special gear, food and potions.

*shudder* That was a frustrating day. Not recommended unless you are a glutton for punishment.

But yeah, congratulations @Glaiceana I'm glad everything worked out!

Glaiceana

Can confirm that @Megurezza managed to get the bite too by following this method I think the bug is definitely confirmed as not permanent, and is fixable! For notes; creatures in the quest did not scale down to my level 10 character, but remained as level 38. Still possible of course!

I have just finished levelling my werewolf, and its ready to start giving free bites in DC

In all seriousness though, this should not happen in the first place. Would like ZOS to take a look at this and fix this bug to ensure it doesn't happen period. One should not have to die to fix a bug because of their poor coding.

Glaiceana

This bug is still present in the game!!
I went to reopen my ticket on this, but turns out all my tickets except one new one has been deleted. I will have to submit a new bug report.
Reminder to everyone, if you have a character below level 10 that seemingly cannot be bitten, you must kill the character to remove the spammed devour effects, and then remove all your equipped items, and then get bitten, it should work.

This was affecting guild members again last night, between @MBite and @sekluh . Luckily I was there to coach them through it.
