Nightblade Killer’s Blade bug appeared today.

Can you please see the team sees this please?


Today I started getting a strange bug when killing targets with Killer’s Blade. The target freezes and doesn’t die and I end up spamming over and over trying to finish it. If I stand and wait, it will eventually die and fall over after a couple seconds.

Found others on reddit with the same issue. Video attached.

    The exact same thing happens with Puncturing Sweep on a Templar, but it's not consistent.

    AD is the best looking faction. I don't make the rules, I just enforce them.

    Explains it, I thought my game was laggy. Very annoying.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Looks like lag during the part where the game tells the npc its dead.

    Dont worry, I'm an armchair programmer.

    This happens to me occasionally on my NB. But I don't think that it is the skill that is bugged. It is probably NPCs that are. Or maybe this is some weird server lag spike ?

    Has been happening to me as well, particularly with Shrikes and Night Terrors outside the Brass Fortress (e.g., outside Exarch's Egress, inside the Shadow Cleft). But that's also mostly what I've been killing for the past half-hour.

    Just to add - I’ve been playing frequently, however I’ve never experienced this bug until Monday morning post patch. I spent most of that time in Vvardenfell.

    I've run into this multiple times yesterday, but not once in the week preceding.

    It does not appear to be skill dependent as I saw it in group content and the mob was being hit by multiple things from multiple players. It basically looked like the game lagged out for that specific mob at the moment its HP dropped to zero. We weren't lagging (or didn't appear to be - I did not have a latency count out, however), but it was.

    As someone mentioned, must be something with client-server communication. It typically happened with the last mob from a group, so could also have something to do with signaling that the fight is over.

    Strange, but again, yesterday was the first time I'd seen it since the patch, so not a big recurring issue it seems.

    This has been happening to me as well. I thought it was lag at first so I turned on FPS and Latency, saw nothing wrong and was like wtf is going on?

    For those who didn't see...

    We've seen things like this across a few different abilities since yesterday's patch - we're looking into it.

    I don't play ESO since 15.06. because Cyrodiil is broken since Summerset (PvE isn't much better, too)...

    The cowardly Wood Elves are best noted for their unwillingness to engage in a face-to-face attack; a Bosmer will strike at you from every side except the front. You won't cross swords with a Bosmer, but you might catch an arrow in the throat. Be wary in forests and jungles, and watch your back.

    Happens all the time now (close to 100%) on my NB when attacking from sneak. 60-70 ms Ping Rate,
    Sneak --> Surprise Attack --> ... --> Killer's Blade --> Target freezes at below 25% health and combat animations get stuck.
    VERY ANNOYING!

    Oh, it's even worse on my Templar.Can I even trust that damage is calculated correctly server-side?
    Client and server seem to be out of sync.

    Given how many skills/classes are affected how could this change ever go past QA?

    Happens all time since Bones update. Also floppy fish syndrome is back (players who die can move around on ground).

    Server seems generally out of sync and having issues...what else is new.
    The numbers thing is always going to be there, but it’s more down to player skill and there are ways through ability choice to configure a group to be stronger vs. large groups of people. - BRAIN WHEELER - 2012 - LOL

    Died a few times because of this bug. Didn't kill a few low life mobs to regain health in a bossfight when needed. Well, that doesn't work atm.

    hoping this gets fixed in todays patch, is very irritating. Noticing in in BG too, which i've just started playing. BTW - really enjoying the BG's :) the queue length is correct amount of time, it's like being a tank in PvE...

    This issue should be fixed after today's incremental patch.
