This is a pretty old bug

This is happening all the time. In some cases, only part of my team did not see the player. I think it's a some kind of render bug. I do not know if it's just in Keeps (Farm, Lumbermill and Mine), but basically I've only seen it there.

Server: NA
Campaign: Azura's

Maybe the problem is that @ZOS_BrianWheeler is too nice.

Perhaps if he wasn't such a nice guy, he'd have jumped on a conference room table at a meeting and kicked Firor's notebook closed to make him stop playing Candy Crush and listen.

If he wasn't such a nice guy, he'd then tell his peers @ ZOS something like, "we sold these people on an AAA AvA experience and then put AvA on life support only months after launch. We've rewarded the players who stuck with us by ignoring their PTS bug reports and by taking months to fix broken sets and abilities. We've ignored critical FPS, terrain and load screen bugs since 2015. All of this without getting into the crippling gameplay and server issues I am not given the resources to solve. I'm not going to let ZOS drag my name through the mud anymore. Either we do right by these people, or I'm done."

This post is seriously awesome.

Just shows how few people these days really care about PVP. Quite sad, actually.

Crispen_Longbow

While we were testing out if VD Crits anymore we were encountering this same bug. FYI VD doesn't Crit which sucks!

1 enemy group member wouldn't be able to see me while the other could. Would randomly happen.

Temporary fixes.
1. If they logged off and logged back in they could see me.
2. If you die and rez at keep fixed it.
3. Transiting in general fixed it.
Seems anything that had you zone back in would fix it.

Didn't work to fix
1. Reloading UI didn't fix it
2. disabling Addons didn't fix it.
3. Running out of distance and coming back into view didn't fix it.
4. Die and rez stone didn't fix it.
5. Cloaking, Stealthing, taking damage, didn't work etc

Would be random. Sometimes I couldn't see them, sometimes they couldn't see me. Wouldn't be all group members some could see some couldn't. Some AOE animations show when invis. If you prox they can see part of the animation, grothdar procing they could see some of that. most skills could not be seen though.

There's your proof @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_BrianWheeler who ever

Cloaked and invisible nightblades, and it looks like their insta-kill stealth openers aren't much weaker than they were pre-patch.

Do you at ZOS consider this type of game design as doing a 'good job'? I'm honestly curious.

Domander

Please hotfix this when you find it...

So it's like the same bug where your group members appear in the ground sometimes?

ishilb14_ESO

The bug is actually much more than a month old. Before this patch, the bug was isolated to people within your group (I can't even begin to understand why) and your group members nameplate would appear on the ground. The differences now are that the bug isn't isolated to your group and the nameplate doesn't show either.

Laruxo

I had this bug since I started playing this game (few months ago). I always thought it was because of my low end system and it simply doesn't load players (and sometimes NPC) for up to a few minutes.
For testers, I suggest trying to play the game on laptop with integrated graphics card.

Publius_Scipio

Tom Brady could beat these invisible enemies easily.

Quantum_V

UPDATE: I literally got ZERGED by an invisible 8-9 man zerg... BRK Lumbermill is the location

LeifErickson

In addition to fighting invisible people, I have been getting in fights where all of a sudden my screen will freeze for like 5 seconds and I will think I crashed but then after 5 seconds my game is back to normal. This happened to me and a player around me at the same time, but it didn't happen to the other players around me.

Ffastyl

I asked someone who had the glitch about the circumstances.
Audio desynced b/c variable framerate

I believe both bugs are part of the same problem.

Joy_Division

Had an invisible enemy.

Happened Brindle Front Porch. Enemy was a DK

NoFlash

seriously . why does PC have bugs on release??? JUST WAIT TO RELEASE A BUG FREE UPDATE. I SWEAR IF THEY RELEASE THE EXPANSION WITH BUGS. We are going to have a bad time. Spending how many millions for that super bowl ad but cant even fix current bugs or release "new content" without more bugs included with it. SMH

Dedimos

Another example

NightbladeMechanics

Oddly enough, I've been running around in IC for several hours now, and I've not noticed one invisible enemy. They're all over in Cyrodiil, but perhaps the smaller instances of IC districts prevent the bug from occurring?

Rohamad_Ali

Damn that random Voodoo ...

This is why I didn't load in Cyrodiil today . I knew several bugs did not get fixed . Twice Born Star did not get fixed either but that's off topic . There's a lot of fixing left to do .

Dracane

I also want to confirm, that an invisible player is not invisible to everyone.
My bf and I were playing together yesterday and I took on a group of players. He couldn't do anything, as they were invisible for him, I could see them though. He asked me, what I was beating at all the time.

This has nothing to do with cloak. Enemy's weapons and character glow are clearly visible.

I'm running full divines cancer build, so im about as easy to beat as a toddler, but this wasn't the point. Point wast that you can clearly see that enemy is invisible, even without cloak, so i can't even try to defend myself

Ghostbane

I had a 3 minute loadscreen yesterday.

Yet to come across any invisible players.

Quantum_V

Alright, so at this point we can make a breif brainstorm around this issue:

• It isn't restricted to any particular class
• Invisible players are not necessarily invisbile to everyone around them, as other players might still be able to see them
• It's relatively common, specially around Cyrodiil
• It is NOT restricted to players, as invisible guards in resources have also gone rougue (I can confirm this as it happened once yesterday when I was with @caeliusstarbreaker)
• Doesn't necessarily has a relationship with being a vampire ('cause as said before, it happened to NPCs too, and when I got attacked by like 8 invis enemies - that my friends could see - it's unlikely all of them are vampires)
• The ENEMY being invisible is a 'new' glitch (since PTS apparently), which means the error was likely caused on the coding of this new patch

@ZOS_BrianWheeler @ZOS_GinaBruno Hopefully this little brainstorm helps to identify the issue, I'll be posting the video in which I get killed by ~8 invisible enemies later on!

Thank you!

vanzan

Can someone confirm if its the goblin costume? When we put it on and mount we go invisible to each and the mount does weird things..

edit: found an enemy to test, we were not invisible but still had weird horse animations
