    Only way this won't make consoles is if they delay the update and we all know they won't do that.

    Got my squad ready to farm it already. AD will be taking Cyro back for a while. Malubeth hoards will have some serious bleed to contend with plus some horrific disease damage to cancel out the buff. Gonna be good.
    Well on NA Ad has cryo on my campaign lol.I already have a group who down for a few runs as well.Those raids of Malubeth templars and DK will run in terror.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno are you sure this won't make it to consoles we got thaumaturge not affecting jabs are you positive it will be fixed.

    Until the hotfix can be published, anyone found taking advantage of this bug is at risk for their account being actioned – a list is being generated as we speak!
    @ZOS_GinaBruno

    Well, lets hope my name isn't on that list.
    I used my set a total of maybe 10 minutes to learn how to reproduce the exploit and verify that this wasn't just a UI display bug. Tried it on a couple of world mobs in Wrothgar and did one round on the first stage in vMA.

    Took some screenshots and then stashed the set away ...

    Thanks for your patience, guys. We have an update to share with you:

    We have a hotfix scheduled for tomorrow morning that will fix the issue with the Salvation item set granting more weapon damage than intended; this will not require any downtime. In addition, we’ll be resetting all leaderboards during Monday’s maintenance for the next incremental patch. Until the hotfix can be published, anyone found taking advantage of this bug is at risk for their account being actioned – a list is being generated as we speak!

    Note that this will not be an issue when Update 11 is published on consoles in a couple weeks.

    We’ll let you know as soon as the hotfix tomorrow is complete.

    Great news, has been a strange day in pvp, seems like people cant run the cheat engine they are going to exploit something, thanks for the quick fix.

    Once a thief, always a thief.... as the proverb says.

    Which will make spotting exploits easier for ZOS !

    They only need to perma monitor the temporarily banned players on what their favorite sets, abilities and ability combo's are, what sudden changes in that behaviour happen and zoom in with a more detailed investigation.

We should have fought for our village and not have backed down, with our tail between our legs. Now my home village is in shambles, the houses burning, the invaders feasting.I swear every day to Shor that after Molag Bal has been defeated, I will hunt down the invaders and restore peace in Bleakrock and drink my mead with my friends at the market place".PC-EU

    sad exploiters

    Hey ZoS only bans you for 3 days so its worth it. Even though i still believe people shouldn't be banned for ZoS's own f***k ups.

    oh, here we are again. according to that statement you would never punish an exploiter as all exploits (respectively bugs) are introduced by ZOS.

    But feel free to comment on the following thread regarding your opinion about exploiting:
    https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/3233698/

    i doubt it makes any sense to go over the same stupid arguments over and over again in every thread.

    I stand by what i said. Don't put words on my mouth because i know the difference between a dumb f***k and a malicious exploit done deliberately tampering with the game's code, yeah throw the ban hammer on hackers but if it's ZoS putting dumb bugs such as this in the game there is not any argument you can say to convince me otherwise. I put the blame were the blame is due and so should you i am tired of people defending ZoS all the time.

    well, i'll try to explain it to you...

    software will always have bugs. so is it ok to abuse those bugs (exploiting)? no it isn't.
    let's take another example:

    you have a web application. which ever web application you want. as it is software it will have bugs (there's no bug free software). so let's say the web application has a bug, which allows you to access the accounts of other users. in this case, such a bug became a vulnerability. so what happens when we abuse such a bug (exploiting)?

    right, the developers are to blame and the individual exploiting the bug was just smart and can now go on with his life and the advantage (e.g. information, money, credit card details, etc.) he gained... oh wait, no he can't. he will face the legal consequences (if caught of course).

    it's almost the same category. you agreed to the ToS, which disallows such behavior.

    and if you think i'm defending ZOS. I don't. I currently don't have anything good to say about them. they f*** it up big time. but that's not an excuse to exploit.

    IMO it's not a fair comparison because real life is REAL, it's real damage to a person's life. In a videogame nothing can happen to the real you.

    it is a fair comparison. you agreed to the terms of service (ToS), which is "real". there's no discussion about ToS are not being "real" because it's a game or not. when exploiting a bug, you're violating the ToS (e.g. comparable to violating laws).

    both scenarios are related to software and bugs, which makes this a pretty usable and fair comparison in my opinion (while one of the situations is handled by law and the other by the ToS).

    Gina,

    Thanks for the fast response
    and I do heartily agree with this list :)
    But how does a player know this penalty, when he does not read all the time this Forum ?

    @SirAndy ,
    you say: ".... I used my set a total of maybe 10 minutes to learn how to reproduce the exploit and verify that this wasn't just a UI display bug....."
    Jep, that kind of testing must be possible
    And perhaps even at this very moment some player not reading forums is testing it out.
    I test out a lot on PTS, even after a DLC gone live. Also because it is nicely quiet.
    But the PTS is as far as I know not updated with the last live patch, so when I found something odd, I check it back on Live.
    And that must be possible without stupid risks.

    The hotfix for this item set is complete - no relogging necessary. Please note that it will appear as though you're still doing high damage; this is a UI issue only, and will be addressed in a future incremental patch. Also just a reminder that we still plan to reset the leaderboards Monday morning, too.

    Thanks for your patience, everyone, and please remember that we always prefer exploits be brought to our attention privately.
