stamina being drained by "unknown"

mrpaxman

This bug is still very much active.

During 1 fight in a dungeon yesterday our tank got

including many more drain ticks

I was healing and got



There is hundreds of ticks just like these from each fight. ticks are often spread to roughly 2 seconds apart. It resulted in the tank losing all resources and dying when he was at full. I was seeing magicka get drained while only heavy attacking with a resto staff, multiple times. multiple heavy attacks just to use a skill. There was no resource drain mechanic or any other reason for the drain in resources. in just a single dungeon run im highly likely to get a resource drain. in vAS last time i was there i was getting the ticks of about 4k to 8k every 2 seconds. For all 3 boss fights, from start to finish. I though it was just no ele drain and worm was out of range at first, until digging deeper on the issue

EDIT:
This has been acknowledged as an issue as far back as February 28, 2018

For the love of something, stop showing CMX logs. The 'unknown' part is CMX issue and CMX issue only (or more like feature). It will show unknown for regen ticks, skill casts, ...

5k stamina loss on a healer from "regen"... seems legit

I'd try to provide videos which are complimented by CMX logs. This way one can figure out a bit what was done and one can rule out possible legit reasons.

This bug is very much still alive and kicking, but since we have had no response since february is it?
I'm assuming your just going to let this bullsh*t slide. (Please come and edit this for profanity and then ignore what I'm saying please do it, because I know that's exactly what will happen.)


Please do what you do best ZOS, ignore everything and let these bugs slide..... or you know FIX IT!

I can understand you not wanting to fix bugs in PvP like the broken walls because that would require you to give a sh*t about PvP, which you obviously dont, but this bug affects everybody whether they know it or not. From the little lowbie who just brought the game, to ball group zergs, 1vxers, dungeoneers all the way to the top Vet Trial groups.

This bug needs to be recognized by you ZOS and not ignored like soooooooo many other bugs. This one actually affects everybody's gameplay and the fact that you acknowledged it months ago, yet do NOTHING and try to brush it off now shows exactly what type of company you are, a *********************** (insert profanities here)


I will post a video that I took not half an hour ago of this bug tomorrow and link in this thread and hope like hell SOMEBODY AT ZOS reads it or better yet they fix it........ hahahahahahahahaha fat chance.

Does anyone have any practical advice?

Would it be good to change Mundus to The Serpent? Or will increased Stamina Recovery increase unknown stamina drain also? Would it be good as Stamina DPS to equip Vicious Ophidian, maybe the 8% cost reduction decreases the stamina drain, too .

Most players I asked via guild chat haven't realized the problem, I don't know if only a selected few players are affected or if they just don't notice - I wouldn't have noticed either, if I hadn't gone to the dummy to test a new set. During actual play I notice it anyway mostly during loss boss fights in Veteran Raids, like the Mage in vAA, as a Melee DPS I normaly can just do my rotation the whole time and suddenly I couldn't do it anymore and had to do all those heavy attacks.

Does anyone know if the problem exists on PTS, too? Maybe they already have a fix?

Sorry mate but there is no solution for this bug. More stamina recovery brings more unknown drain. Its also not only stamina. Your magicka also draining same amount of your recovery. You will carry on with this bug until ZoS fix it.

When players have to try and circumvent a terrible bug because Zos refuses to fix it.

How are we supposed to enjoy our gameplay when I’m either stuck in a sprint bug or having my resources randomly drain

This morning running dolmens in Glenumbra on my stamplar, and was light attacking only, because I lost all my stamina in two skills, and even when pulling stam from kills, the regen barely moved upward, and stamina was still draining with now skills being used. Odd

Bug is definitely alive and well as of this week
