Double Ice Comet Casting...

jzholloway

Last night in the Arena in Azura Star on PS4 (NA) me and a buddy both got hit with two Ice Comets from the same person - is this a glitch, lag or normal? It happened to me four times with Ice Comet, once with Meteor, it happened to him three times with Ice Comet (he also suffered 10k damage from Caltrops...). Thoughts?

But i'm EP!!!

Seriously though, at least for me, I'd get hit, move then get hit again - it was two Ice Comets coming down, not one then an AOE.

For a few weeks now there seems be a glitch with certain ultimates. Storm Atronach is the mostly widely known one but I've seen multiple Novas, hell, I've casted multiple Novas because of this bug. No word that I've seen from Zenimax on an acknowledgement of this problem. Hopefully it's not something people are seeing on PTS so when that goes live on March 7th this issue will quietly fade away.

I've had it happen a few times with Shooting Star.

Shooting Star I could understand more if the ultimate gain glitches for people hit... Ice Comet (and the 10k Caltrops) was just a little weird

Haven't tried it with Ice Comet but i'm sure I could get it to do it twice. Just mash the button GG. It's happening with multiple ultimates. Hope they fix it!

You didn't get hit twice, it shows up twice in your recap because you stood in the ground effect and they show up as two different damage sources in the recap. 10k caltrops is just the total of damage you took from standing in caltrops for a prolonged period of time. It won't only show the last tick of DoTs but the total damage you received from it.

This bug is with targets that have to be aimed, there's an issue with the double button press that allows you to spam these ultimates in high latency situations. It won't affect meteor

Here the start of the nerf Meteor threads ZOS. Still have time to fix un-reflectable meteor mistake.

No, I moved out of the AOE - it it was consistently from two different players - I got hit by meteor plenty of other times with this problem not showing up.

I certainly do not want them to nerf meteor, or much of anything for that matter. I would like them to fix bugs - which, if this was a bug, I would want them to fix it.
