[Bug] NPC Eclipses Not Granting CC Immunity - 100% Uptime

Taylor_MB

Edit: Original thread was about not being able to CC break which turned out to be intended (thanks for the first few commenters - I should read patch notes more fully).

However, the NPC Eclipse does not grant CC immunity after it expires.... so yeah, effectively 100% up time @ZOS_BrianWheeler

Quick recording I put together to help clarify. 3 NPC Eclipses in a row, CC immunity only granted when I finally get chained.

"Eclipse:
This ability and its morphs now last for 3.5 seconds, down from 6 seconds, but can no longer be removed with Break Free. After the effect ends, enemies will gain CC-immunity. Reduced the cost of this ability and its morphs by approximately 20%."

Taylor_MB

Also for real?


Can't even edit own post >.<

It was like this on PTS. ZOS knew. ZOS didn't fix it.

RIP taking resources as mageblade. 100% uptime on reflect.

That is incredibly disappointing... even with my already significantly diminished expectations.

Sorry, I didnt know . I corrected my statement

Rozenwyn

Yep, working as intended. Read the patch notes before screaming bug.

Taylor_MB

I'm upset that you are right and this is a deliberate change, but thank you for the information, don't know how I missed it in the patch notes.

lostavalon

so im guessing the npc arnt giving cc imunity if u dont break there cc?

Taylor_MB

Sorry for the confusion all.

Eclipse cannot be break freed from, this is 100% intended (for some reason). However, the NPC Eclipse does not grant CC immunity once expired (not intended).

If you purge, they immediately reapply it.

At this point, I am completely convinced that the ZOS combat team is abusing narcotics big time.

Ishammael

Most of the NPCs have the skills of menders, too.

Does CCing yourself within the reflect (with flame reach or something) and breaking free grant immunity?

Would be a messy workaround until they fix it, but could work?

Rickter

How many times are people going to tell this guy "no its working as intended - read the patch notes"?

OP - Do the community a service and just edit your thread and delete everything you wrote and make the title "Please Delete"

The skill is supposed to grant CC immunity after the effect ends, op is 1/2 right.

Flame reach works. :< can confirm it

It shouldn't be this way in general. OP is right to complain even if he was wrong about part of what he said. If you want to take a resource, make sure you are stamina or have a stamina friend with you. Game shouldn't simply exclude people from doing something in pvp based on such a choice.

Everybody seems to be forgetting that the version of Eclipse guards use to begin with is completely different from what's available to players, and that part is intended. This unbreakability might not be entirely intended, even if the functionality of player Eclipses was changed. Cyrodiil was disabled for the entirety of the PTS cycle this time so nobody had the chance to see this and then ask ZoS if it was supposed to work this way, because if it is it's even more broken than it already was.

There was a multitude of posts on the PTS forums about this change. It is now live. Nobody listened. Good job yet again Zeni.

IcyDeadPeople

What if you eclipse the eclipser? That used to work back in the day.

How many times do people have to troll and not take the time to read what the op is saying or read the patch notes.

Not giving cc immunity, not working as intended.

Thank you op for bringing this up so it can hopefully be fixed.

I wanna be an NPC that can be a templar, DK and sorc all in one.

CC Immunity is a game mechanics that NPCs seem to have been ignoring for a loooong time. Can't count the number of times I've getting chain-CCed by upgraded NPCs at a resource.

lostavalon

Npc CC's haven't given cc imunity if u don't break it for ages now, it was the first thing I brang up with friends when I first read the changes to eclipse,
One of them said that they are fixing it so they do give cc imunity if u don't break it,
Given of how many bugs are still in the game from months ago I'll just take it as zos don't know how to fix yet another annoying bug
