Issue in cyrodil with sweeps and lighting HA

qwjr8989_ESO

So I have been PvPing quite often lately and I always do two things:

1. I always play a magplar

2. i only ever pvp with my friend who is also a magplar

We don't really ever lag in cyrodil as much as people complain - occasional lag every now and then but most times everything is pretty steady

One thing we have noticed is almost everyday at random times in a day with seemingly no explanation all aoe-channels cease to function: meaning jabs/sweeps/lightning HA's

When we activate one of these the ability will last the entire time but only will do damage for the first tick and nothing else the rest of the channel will play out doing 0 damage or effects of any kind.

We have tested everything with other friends. Single target channels (jesus beam) work fine. Single target dots (poison injection) work fine. Aoe dots (ritual of retribution)work fine. Just AOE channels just kill themselves.

We never have it happen to us separately. Always the same time. If we are on different parts of the map it will still effect us both. It often accomponies no other lag of any kind whatsoever.

Anyone else having this issue? I believe it is some kind of server error as it can last anywhere from 5 mins to 30 mins and effects us both at the same time.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom anyway we can have someone look into this issue?

Thanks for the info!

Yup it happens 100% of the time when I'm killing the guards on flags. The animations disappear then I end up swinging my arms around like an imbecile.

Can agree. Its the same with jabs. I can watch the first hit, second not register, third hit. Also I can watch the first hit then none register. Not miss but not register at all. Or, of course, hit jabs and nothing happens.

No lag, fine latency, proper distance. It makes zero sense.

Sweeps heals for % damage. Since healz are cut in half in Cyro, so you only get every other jab.

I just made that up. Sounds good though.

Seems a lot of abilities are bugged in PvP lately. Like trying to fire off a light attack and getting stuck in a heavy attack (without ability to cancel it). Getting stuck in sprint, having all your abilities greyed out.

Channel abilities doing nothing but play animation. Projectiles going missing. The spectral bow is a perfect example. 5 LA and it triggers the bow. You try to fire it (while still in LoS), proc registers as used, but instead you are refreshing the ability (thus loosing a huge part of your burst).

And potions... oh the potions. You can hit the hot key so many times and they don't get used (but still play the sound and animation).

And ultimates. Ultimate getting used up but not firing / not happening at all / or having a massive delay. Example:

Nightblade - I spam my ultimate hot key for Incap...nothing happens and enemy has time to run away or turn around and melt me.

MagSorc - Strom Attro arriving 30-40 seconds after the cast (either on already dead enemies or while enemies are on the other side of the map).

PvP at it's current state is completely broken. I'm still having fun and playing it but it feels more like I just bought a super expensive car but there is a strange knocking noise coming from the engine bay, the brake disks are squeaking, clutch gets sticky but I just ignore it and hope that some day, the dealership will come to me to fix it.

Yeah sweeps and Jesus beam both show the channel timing but not actual damage for me. It’s escpecislly worse against guards at resources and in the towns it’s almost unplayable. I can have 60 FPS and 120 ping and still have issues using these abilities.

Heh. I thought it was just me.

There I was, standing at front flag after storming through the postern wall at Bleaker's and successfully flipping back flag, and instead of my liquid lightning/wall of shock/heavy attack going off on the adds...I stare at them.

...wait, what?

It's been bugged since on Summerset PTS...Flurry also behaves this way (and overload). Pretty much all the channels are semi-useless in this patch and I hope they fix it soon.
