cannot loot half the time

Lithlidessa444
since elsweyr came out, I have had looting issues. no matter where I stand what direction I come from, I cannot loot some mobs. dragon died on top of rock-no loot. ran a dungeon and no one could loot final boss so issue is not mine alone. tried to send ticket, got game consultant report and it will not attach. been trying that for 30 mins. no wonder folks leaving this game. I have submitted bug after bug with screen shots. nothing. what am I doing wrong?

    The actual position of the dead enemy on the server and what you are seeing on your end is desynced. That is not your problem and there is nothing you can do other than relogging. It is something that they have to fix on their side.

    I believe the fix for this is on the PTS right now.

    Read the PTS patch notes; they are aware of, and fixing, this issue.

    You're not doing anything wrong. The bug seems to be getting worse. There are "work arounds" that meet with mixed success.

    Some people say that using /reloadui in the chat box can work bug it never has for me. Killing other mobs or small critters in the same area if you have area looting turned on can work-- this has worked for me pretty well. Sometimes having your toon walk a few steps away and waiting a few seconds can work. I've had a little luck with this too.

    There are a few threads about the bug on the forums. A dev responded on one that they've seen the bug and the team is working on a fix with no ETA. If I were on my desktop, I'd give you the link. Keep your fingers crossed :) The team's aware and not ignoring the bug.

    Editing: Didn't know the fix was up on the PTS. Nice :)

    i noticed that if i get "Really Close" to a mobb or boss when their health is near death and it dies at my feet, then it gives me the ability to loot them.
    not always though. but most times.

    Is this about the "target is out of range" error? If so, I've also been seeing that one a lot. If they're already aware of it: good.

    If you get 'target is out of range', I find riding away a certain distance and coming back works. I couldn't loot the Minotaur boss in Gold Coast yesterday, so I went back to the entrance to the cave and when I returned I could loot him. It's getting steadily worse though.

    I am glad to know other players are experiencing the same problem. I thought it was ZOS's way of telling me to quit hoarding stuff! Seriously though, I have been experiencing the "target out of range," when I try to loot boss's since the Elswyr patch. Not a super huge deal, as I have most of the items I want, but can be a bit of a bummer at times.

    What I have done is run out of range and then run back to the body and I can loot it.

    It will be fixed in Update 23 (so a few weeks or so give or take) however the best solution to this is to leave the area until you can't see the body as @Juju_beans already pointed out and then come back to loot the properly synced corpse. It's quite frustrating in dungeons/Trials as well where bosses/mechanics/telegraphs aren't where they are shown to be :smile:

    I am farming trophies those days and it'ts even more a pain than the original ridiculous drop rate already makes it : on some categories / areas, 50% is unlootable ; especially if you kill as range ; the body is ridiculously teleporting and then... "out of range" even if you stand on it ; that is really unbearable ; I wanted to do a ticket but well.... Zenimax has hundred of complains about broken trials etc and just do nothing....
    At least, by reading your post, now I feel less alone. Good thing if they are aware, let's hope........

    What I don't get is, if they already have a fix why not fix it now? Why wait idk how many weeks to do it?
    This isn't a small issue and it appears to be part of a much bigger desync issue that they admit they have a fix for, but just... don't fix on live. That make zero sense.

    Won't know when until they have more data to finalise the Crown Store price for it though.

    Those memories come back to haunt me, they haunt me like a curse.
    Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse.

    Try looting another corpse near it, or wait a minute or two. I find killing something else, then coming back to it helps.

    ZoS have known about this since before release, they clearly don't care about the fact that players can't LOOT in a game where LOOT is an important aspect of playing it and are taking their own sweet time to fix it.

    They said weeks ago they had a fix in the works yet obviously they've been more interested in adding the new Store monetization than actually fixing a SERIOUS bug that's having a major negative effect on players.

    ZOS will only rush to fix a bug if it’s helpful to players, otherwise it’ll be around for years

    Usually when i get this bug, roll dodging works for me. But it's even more weird that no one can loot the final boss. Buggy game.
