thanks for killing dungeon soloing, i guess

tripp

Final dungeon bosses now reset about 10 seconds into the fight if you go in solo. Your character stops moving, a loading screen happens and you're teleported back to the start. If you wanted to make people uninstall, that's one way to do it.

You are kidding right? This can't be true?

CyberOnEso

If you want them to fix it how about give some specifics.

• What platform?
• What region?
• Which dungeon?
• Which difficulty?
• Did you activate HM?

Mariusghost84

Please don't let this be true. Soloing dungs is a huge deal for me when I role play for story!

Jaraal

Has to be some sort of a bug, no way they would make such a major change without mentioning it in the patch notes.

I just successfully soloed a dungeon on PC NA this afternoon, not quite a hour ago, and didn't experience any of that.

tripp

Yeah, I did FG and it didn't boot me this time. But I realized why. The dungeon is tiny, and the final boss is relatively close to the entrance. Anything bigger will trigger a map transition and kick you to the entrance. Bear in mind I'm on a PC good enough to run this game on ultra at 100 fps, so people with weaker machines are going to be completely screwed.
edit: just got kicked to the entrance again. Spindle I this time.

Can you clarify why weaker machines are “screwed”? If the idea is that a bigger dungeon triggers a map transition, which shouldn’t depend on PC specs, then why will there be a difference on different PCs?

Insufficient RAM, too weak CPUs. Basically those that have to substantially lower the details to get the game running at an acceptable level. If my machine was forced into a level load, I can't imagine what it would be like of something significantly weaker.

Sounds like rubberbanding.

[snip] not to mention the playerbase that solos group dungeons is pretty tiny.

Nothing so far that can’t be taken care of with an in-game /bug ticket ...

dont worry, they broke more...


... i did a RND normal on PC NA and got WGT. when dropping health i got portet to the chessboard foundation of the stage. 3 times. my mates suffered the same fate, we agreed on disbanding then.

freespirit

Ok I just solo-ed Spindle, Fungal and VoM with no issue so @tripp I think the issue may be on your end

Kurat

Its patch day. Thers always been problems on day 1 and sometimes even several days after patch drop. Did you expect anything different this time?
No changes were made regarding soloing dungeons, dont panic lol

Shardaxx

Are you using cloak? I've noticed on world bosses that if I cloak, the boss thinks nobody is there and the fight is over, and resets back to full health at its starting position, same as if you run away from it. Could this be the same issue?

Sergykid

happened to me in vMA right now. Once in stage 3, once in stage 9. Teleported to entrance (so out of the stage) right after a short loading screen. It happened after i used a charge or got pulled. I think the server desyncs your location and tries to force reposition you, messing it up.

Brixonguy

This happened to a normal maw pug i was just in, the adds starting phasing in and out and half of the group got hit with load screens and TPed to the entrance

rnklippel

This has happened to 2 members of our 4 friends group that were doing Spindleclutch 1 as a random normal (PC-NA).

When we started fighting the last boss, 2 of us were teleported back to the start of the dungeon, one reported being thrown below ground first, then teleported.

Gonna be some angry folks if this happens during trials, methinks.

Mathius_Mordred

Running a Harrostorm in The Reach, on the final boss and got teleported to a wayshrine!

CowNRB

happened 4 times on the main quest i get randomly ported backwards.

volkeswagon

That is obviously a bug

rptrainer

Oh please no, Soloing is my only fun in this game. I hope it's just a bug like the WW resetting to Lvl 1. I haven't run dungeons with anyone for quite a long time.

I was doing nMA with my stamplar and in the Rink of Frozen Blood, I kept being sent out of bound and then teleported to the entrance when the giantess destroyed a platform. Came back 4 times, tried different platforms. But I suspect you are on the right track, as it happened when she knocked me down.

Came back with my sorc instead and it happened once and then I got through.

Then I ran nDSA with a guildie who still needed an arena skull because they don't have a lot of time to play, and in the Daedra round everybody but me kept crashing over and over. We finally managed to get the bosses down and the rest of the arena went without a problem.

tripp

Just want to time chime in again and say that it's not even dungeon related anymore. I got ported back to the Urishilaku camp wayshrine while fighting Nilthog.

AyaDark

Get some TP on new arena and i thought it was some mechanick. May be it was only bug once because server overload ???

I really like solo some times.

Is it normal now?

colossalvoids

In my observation it's caused by players and npcs using pull or charge abilities (that had a fix in notes wink *rollback* wink) what possibly desyncs how server sees your position and where you actually at, might be also the new speed of transition etc. @ZOS_GinaBruno

Ysbriel

Patch week! like shark week but the trill is on everything that can go wrong, may or will go wrong.

Happened to me & 4 guildies also, we ended up quitting though as we could not even MOVE when we got back in. EXACT same place too, HOWEVER...

I'm thinking your observation might be a tad flawed. While we DID have one who was using a pull ability, I got pulled by one of those sphincter plants and IMMEDIATELY afterward I got a loading screen & ended up standing in the air, next to a large red block. As far as I know, I'm the only one who got yanked by a plant in the round. Same group as above, also in nDSA - it was in the swamp challenge area (the 3rd round of DSA). When we started crashing out in the Daedra area, one of my guildies ALSO ended up next to that block before freezing with the crash reporter window. I also got a crash reporter window. No one else did.

Came here to report what happened in DSA; also going to report in-game. Sucks because we all missed out on the remaining purple Plunder Skulls (plus I missed the one in the Swamp area) AND the Gold Plunder Skull for completion.
