BG: If you grab chaosball while crouched, when you "uncrouch" you drop the chaosball [PC - EU]

Title says it all. If at the beginning, when the chaosball drops, you grab the ball while being crouched, anytime you try to uncrouch the ball with drop.

This has happened to me now several times, I'd appreciate a fix.

So, I'm not sure if this is intended, or straight up a bug. Just in case ZOS doesn't want us to be crouched while carrying the ball, just uncrouch players automatically as soon as they grab the ball. Or just let us uncrouch while carrying the ball...

Same happens with relics.

No, I don't think it's a bug at all, you must stay completely visible.


After re-reading OP post: yes, it seems a bug you can capture it crouched in the first place. Crouch should be auto-disabled the moment you capture. I didn't even know you could, not a fan and I haven't ended up in many caosball matches doing the randoms.

After all there is a good reason abilities like cloak and streak are disabled while having the ball, advantage would be huge and invisibility is out of place as a rule.

Well, thanks for clarification I always wondered why did it drop.
Not a big deal though, just uncrouch before you take the relic, as youll be visible casting it anyway

So what you're telling me is I can hold the chaosball for 150 points, then when the healing debuff and damage get bad I can just drop it and pick it back up to reset the debuffs back to starting intensity?

Sounds good to me! Thanks for this balancing change, ZoS.

But that's the thing, I grab the chaosball while hidden, it's not like I'm trying to crouch while holding it. And when I try to uncrouch once I've grabbed the ball to run away, every time I try to stop being hidden, I drop the chaosball. How does that make sense?
