Console Issue (Xbox One & PS4) - Minor Slayer does not work

Vezuls · August 2016

After running some dungeons and doing some dps, I felt something was off. One of my guild mates then told me that Minor Slayer is reportedly not working. I of course immediately went into a dungeon to test this to find our the truth. Stats and CP were exactly the same in the testing that I did. 34,723 max stam. 3119 weapon damage.

I used 6 Twice Born Star on body (no reason for 6, just because I had a vicious piece here and wanted to make sure I had no erroneous data) and 1 Velidreth Helmet, all medium. Weapons were 1 Maelstrom Dagger Sharpened, 1 maelstrom axe precise. Jewelry was 3 piece Vicious Ophidian ALL GOLD with GOLD weapon damage glyphs to test Minor Slayer. When not testing Minor Slayer I subsituted a GOLD Vicious Ring with a GOLD Alkosh Ring with the same GOLD weapon damage glyph.

First I tested this on Adds in Vet Spindle. Hurricane and Light Attacks hit for the same damage.
Second, I thought maybe this only is broken on adds. Hit Bloodspawn multiple tests. Hurricane, Light Attacks, and Rapid Strikes hit for the same damage
Third, I thought: "Okay, maybe it doesn't work in dungeons but works in trials. Went to AA. Same results.

Minor Slayer is not working on Xbox One, and I'd encourage PS4 users to test this as well.

This patch is phenomenal: good content to do, frames are a LOT better on console, and text chat is an awesome feature, but the bugs that came with this patch are very disheartening.

First, we discovered Maw is undoable on Xbox: People's game turns a different color and then get sent to the dashboard and it happens to almost the entire raid.
Now, Minor Slayer, something every raider was excited was going to be good, doesn't even work as well as it did last patch. Please ZoS, fix this.

Yeah, posted about this with video evidence here: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/285932/confirmed-bug-console-minor-slayer#latest

No response from ZOS.

It's sad that pretty much all the endgame gear and the only true endgame trial are broken...

No, what's sad is that you expected different.

I sent ZoS_Seiffer a pm. he said he would pass it along to the team. Hopefully this happens and soon.

elium85 · August 2016

Yeah, hopefully it can be hotfixed and will not have to wait for a full patch...

Yeah. If we have to wait for a hotfix, we'll be out of luck for a month

SublimeSparo · August 2016

Sizzyy · August 2016

So I guess back to agility and molag kena shoulders until they get this fixed

Vezuls · August 2016

Zennimax are you even doing anything about this? Or acknowledging it?

BOTH

Clarkieson · August 2016

Nords drink too much mead and get naked

ZOS ignore everyone who doesn't have a youtube channel

Any other obvious quote are welcome but no one is allowed to say that the day ZOS make something without bugs is the day they make an insect colony

Or something

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_KaiSchober @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @Wrobel @ZOS_MattFiror @ZOS_RichLambert Can we please get a update on this.This is ridiculous how it's broken on console its the same with them last patch.

SublimeSparo · August 2016

Any news?

soc1212 · August 2016

Any news on this ? This is hurting a lot of people running pve content.

elium85 · August 2016

Nope, no one has seen any response from ZOS on this, vMoL or vHRC crashes.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

How is this topic not getting a response from the community managers or anyone at Zenimax....

There is video evidence that it is clearly broken, so we KNOW it is broken. A simple, "Yup, we see it too. We will address it ...."

How hard is that?

FWIW, I made a bug report on the forum about nDSA, and didn't get a single response or acknowledgement. But it was fixed in yesterday's patch.

While it would be nice for ZOS to pop in and acknowledge things, I've been playing long enough to know that they usually are paying attention, even if they often don't announce that they are paying attention.

wow, what it must be like to be a PC player, much jealous

console peasants can only dream of these so called “patches” and “customer service"

I appreciate it. It just seems that unless the game is completely broken and your characters are stuck and unable to be played at all, there are not real responses to some concerns that people express.

I fully do not expect every request/bug/defect to be acknowledged, working in the software realm, I fully understand.

I am sure that this will be stealth fixed whenever console gets an incremental, if they were aware it was broken when that incremental was done...

Price I pay for playing on console I guess..

elium85 · August 2016

It's just hard because PC has an issue (long load screens since patch) and ZOS responds saying they are investigating within 12 hours. We've posted about vMoL being unplayable and vHRC being a crashfest for 7 days now and it has not been acknowledged.

jr1387 · August 2016

The only place I have noticed Minor Slayer working is in Maelstrom Arena (Xbox). Every where else I have tried it doesn't work. Dragonstar, Dungeons, and Trials.

It has. They need the people's console ID's who crashed. PM them to ZoS_Seiffer on twitch.

You find console ID going to setting---all setting ---- system ---- console info and updates
says serial number then console ID
