(BUG) Dragonknight: Ferocious Leap - range removed

DUTCH_REAPER

Or the real pickle! People roll dodging it.

"PC/Mac: No maintenance – August 31"

In other words: no fix.
Nice

Same issue here. Battlegrounds and Imperial City upper districts, none of my ranged moves have range. DK leap, Critical Rush, and so on.

Working as Intended™

GAME BREAKING!
same here..Stampede in BGS greyed out

Hotdog_23

Just great

Broken in time for IC event.

Is this fixed yet? Can you use gap closers in pvp..?

dmvab

No, it's not fixed and no answers from ZOS.

I believe I've found a way to prevent that.
I'm absolutely sure that this bug is something to this with this buff:



The very momment you step in a BG or upper districts in IC, "Chain Pull Range Suppression" buff removes the range from your gape closer abilities.
The point is, it removes permanently after update 27 and doesn't matter if you die, reloadui or log out.
So, what you have to do is:

Step 1) Remove the skill from your bar BEFORE you queue for BG or before you climb the ladders in IC, and let it unslotted while you're in the safe area. (as said before, once this buff touches your ability, it removes the range permanently and you cannot let that happen)
Step 2) Now, you'll only re-slot your gap closer ability when you actually leave the safe area and start to play in the lower site. That's because you only lose that "Chain Pull Range Suppression" after you leave the safe area.

Interesting to think is that only the initial "Chain Pull Range Suppression" makes the bug. So, when you die, you don't need to worry, you ability will still work. But you have to repeat the process for every battleground or IC instance. You can download and use one of that addons that quick switch gears and skills with a shortcut to make the process easy.

Tested with Ferocious Leap and Toppling Charge, in battlegrounds and IC.

I hope with this kind of feedback they can fix this bug before IC event.

I can't use Leap in at least 50% of the BGs I played today: both MagDK and StamDK...rather annoying bug!!!

Big freakin awesome to you

Thanks for debugging or giving us a work around. I am sure ZOS appreciates you doing their job for them. Now if they would only fix it in time for the IC event.

Be safe and have fun

katanagirl1

Great work on debugging the issue!


I’m on console so I don’t have this new update yet.

I don’t use that particular skill because of my class but I assume you are saying I would need to remove the s&b gap closer in the same manner as above.

I have a stamina PvP build so playing without a gap closer will be very difficult, I hope ZOS gets a fix for this as soon as possible.

I can’t do any damage from a distance with s&b and dw and running all the time will drain my stamina and leave me no resources left to fight.

daktary2001

Same issue here. Every charge, leap or gap closer skills unavailable in imperial city upper. No answer from "support".

Dear Zos, would you kindly DO YER JOB !?

From what I could observe:

• Only happens in pvp: Battlegrounds and Imperial City (upper site);
• It's permanent: doesn't matter if you die, relog, reloadui;
• Affects only gap closers abilities removing their ranges, making them unable to cast it;
• Not everybody is having the bug, otherwise forum would have tons of messages;
• ZOS is neglecting because it's just few people with the problem. (consigering the lack of answers or fix at this point)

same observations, wrote an in-game bugreport including a screenshot and also mentioning that the only "fix" is to leave the affected zone (BG, IC) COMPLETELY. Even crashing the game and restarting will not change it.

OH, and tyvm for the workaround @dmvab, will check it out next time I go to IC or BG.

Vanagrand

You are not the only one. The fix i found i to switch to cyro no-cp and back to ic-cp each time the bug happens.

Fix it before the event please.

Fettkeewl

@ZOS_GinaBruno This needs your atention please! I for one have not been doing any pvp for atleast 2 days now because everytime I enter battlegrounds my charge is greyed out and rangeless

Vanagrand

It happens all the time for no apparent reason, only fix that works 50% of the time is to start switching campaign to no-cp to cp cyro and ic.

This needs to be addressed asap please.

it didnt fix it for me ,
its still happening randomly even when I dont have gap closer in my bar , when I slot it back after joining a bg it dosent work
such a game breaking bug should be fixed in a quick hotfix , I have to leave 1/3 of my battlegrounds because of this bug
WTF are they doing!

Volckodav

Hi Guys,

I have the same issue, Dragon Leap not working in the new BG IC map, like I have no target, skill stay grey, that a game breaking because I just cannot use my ultimate ><

I will try to check if I have this weird buff range suppression and test this.

Hope it will be fix soon!!

MurderMostFoul

Crap, no word on a fix yet...

I wonder how long this bug will be on console. I predict two weeks minimum. Looks like it will be awhile until I'm able to test my build tweaks for today's console patch.

paulychan

You're out of range, he's out of range, you you you and you, you're all out of range. This hole damn game is out of range

paulychan

The ic event is now the "we have been trying to tell yo mamma for years" event. Or, the gap closer event. The great gap closer, otherwise known as my uncle larry. Gaps for everyone, it's a social distance thing. Live, live live gap brand pants. So classy. Oh hey, what's that behind you, oh that's just your immense gap.

MurderMostFoul

@ZOS_GinaBruno

It's been a full week since ZOS addressed this significant bug (especially with the IC event).

Can we get an acknowledgement that it is a confirmed bug at least?

dmvab

@ZOS_GinaBruno

Could we please have some answers? I believe we deserve that.

Hotdog_23

Wall of silence.

The_Old_Goat

Fantastic communication skills at work here.

celner4_ESO

I’m on ps4 console and having this bug as well with toppling charge and even with the temporary fix dmvab found god bless him lol it still will bug out randomly for me... canceling my sub until this is fixed all I do really is pvp and don’t want time I paid for wasted cause of bugs! Hopefully they’re working towards a fix and the few responses not directly acknowledging the issue is there hopefully is due to ZoS working on finding that fix. All they’d have to do is log into a character with a gap closer and enter IC/BGs and zos will find the bug themselves easily and speedily enough.... me personally it would always happen after a death in IC or while killing trash mobs. Cheers and good luck ZoS!

hakan

same here. ambush doesnt work. im in bgs btw.

GetAgrippa

When the IC event starts and this bug persists, Zos is going to get flooded with complaints about this. It's ridiculous there's no acknowledgement of this yet. Why not acknowledge it now? They can't just pretend it's not happening because the IC event is going to put it on everyone's radar. There are going to be a ton of new threads.

ixie

fix please
