Asylum Sanctorium Currently Disabled (PC/Mac)

ZOS_GinaBruno

We want to give everyone a heads up that we just completed a hotfix to disable access to the Trial, Asylum Sanctorium, on the PC/Mac megaservers. We discovered an exploit that was allowing players to avoid the majority of the mechanics against Saint Olms. While the Trial is disabled, you'll see a message stating "You lack the correct permissions to transfer there" if you attempt to enter. If you're currently in the Trial, you won't be able to re-enter once your character dies or you complete it.


The Trial will be disabled until we have a fix for the issue, which we plan to publish in a future incremental patch. Thanks for your patience.

Will there be a different weekly?

Odd you have disable the whole trial to fix an Exploit. Good to hear your doing something but Disabling an entire trial? shhhhhheeesh

Well, It doesn't look like there will be much competition this weekly it appears huh.

It's unfortunate that it is shut down, but the alternative may have been worse and much more work overall. This is a situation where ZOS is protecting players from themselves by keeping them from being tempted to do something that they will be greatly encouraged to ban them for later on. Honest players who would not have exploited will be punished by not being able to do the trial, but the alternative of leaving it open and just hoping players don't go get themselves banned could anger the player base more. Hopefully the fix doesn't take too long to implement.

While it's the weekly? Lol

Good choice, ZOS. Better to remove the temptation.

But seriously, can we nominate Asylum Sanctorium for ESO's glitchiest/most exploited trial?

"Hotfix" kappa

At least update the weekly.

Not yet, let's wait for round 4 of exploits after they finish their 3rd fix of this trial.

i also regularly use the boom-stamina-full-again exploit, na im joking, but seen people block me for straight 40 seconds and then using their combo, wtf

NateS4

I’m hoping you all will do the same on console and perma-ban the horde of players that have taken advantage of the exploit.

I am currently leading a progression core team, and we were planning to start vAS HM pulls this Saturday. While it says in this post that it will be fixed in an incremental patch, I sincerely hope that this incremental patch is deployed before Sunday. I love this game and the raiding, and it's disheartening to hear that the plans our team have been working months toward are being delayed by factors outside our control.

I know that ZoS does their best for the community on topics like this, and i'm usually not one to beg.

But please fix this as soon as possible.

It's only the weekly on PC/NA. vMoL is weekly on EU.

Re-enter, hell. You won't be able to leave either.

We couldn't access any doors at all. it must have hit dead in the middle of our run.

@VaranisArano most exploited? Probably.

Glitchiest? Pretty sure vMoL is gonna hold that crown for a while.

I know someone that ran a vAS +1 for the weekly (the one and only score on the board), and he told me that they fixed the problem of Olms remaining on the floor during Storm.

So maybe, in the process of fixing that bug, they broke something else?

@ZOS_GinaBruno since you are already working on the most bugged trial ever, how about fixing some more bugs?

Here is a short list oft some bugs in that trial

• Entrance to the trial is buggy. On some positions you can’t even click "E" to enter.
• Bold is running instead of porting. His AOE appears and then he sprints to the location, sometimes he is sprinting to slow and then he just keeps chasing his own AOE's in a "circle". Very nice if you want to taunt hin and you don't know his current location because the actual location and his "body" are out of sync.
• Bold jumps sometimes random and not the supposed person.
• Bold jumps only 2 times if you "run out of his range".
• Pious AOE-Cone is much smaller than his hit area
• Pious Cone hits you before you can even see it (ok, this is actually not a bug, it’s just poor design)
• Just turns sometimes 180° after his jumps and cleaves to the entrance or whatever...
• Just sometimes turns for no reason 180°
• If Just turns 180°, the tank needs to go in front of him... otherwise the boss "does not see" the tank and keeps doing kind of "nothing".
• If the group wipes and there is a guy in the lobby, the boss keeps running against the door. Why is the aggro range that big?!
• Just stays on the ground when he does his kiting stuff... (It's still in there... at least is was on sunday.. maybe the monday patch fixed it... And if it was fixed, there is nothing written in the patch notes)

What about reverting AS to its summerset state (sure olms doesn't fly but I believe people would much rather have a non flying olms than no AS for now) till the exploit is fixed, then (in a few weeks most likely) push the new debugged version.
It shall require a minor downtime yet it'd save NA'a weekly, as well as all progression guilds out there that may disband due to the bug.

Worst-designed trial ever.

I think we can all agree on this. It also marked the sharpest step away from good trial design since vMoL.

To be honest: I´d rather have them take it down for a week and actually fix things, than leaving bugs in there for another 2-3 Patches.
And no progression guild is going to disband because they cannot access one trial for a certain amount of time. I know my group has plenty of fun just running another trial for the time being.

Well oke, but for 2 months they didnt even try to fix anything, and now trial is disabled, i paid for Clockwork city DLC, why i cant access content i paid for? Oke for 1-2 days max, but knowing ZOS this might take week or two to fix.. @ZOS_GinaBruno any idea when we will get access to content we paid for? I bought DLC to play trial, and now they disabled it because their own mistakes..

Why is this not being done for console too?

My guess is that its a Wolfhunter bug, so that hasn't gotten to console yet. Hopefully they fix it before release.

LittlePumpkin030

any news to the hotfix and the other trial bugs @ZOS_GinaBruno ?
