So went onto PTS this evening and just so happened to find a bug where you can just stack stats on stats, please see screenshots below. I'm conscious not to share how to do it, but just want to get it known so that it can be fixed before live:
Can provide more images if needed. Managed to replicate it after logging back out, have some idea what's involved but granted probably things I don't know.
@ZOS_GinaBruno
EDIT: Managed to get the health to over 10m, with 40m ticks of healing, and a 1m TT on Crimson. Its not fake stats, can't upload screenshots as they are too large.

The you can stack your resources as high as you want, is just broken. I got bored later on in the night and ended up doing a dummy parse will 11million DPS on the 21million dummy.Edited by WombatNipples65 on October 13, 2021 5:37AMPC EUWômbat - Khajiit Magicka Nightblade - AR5011 -

Oficially youre the best PvE player of all time. Nobody can beat taht parse
LoL
Great insight though.
Needs to be fixed immediately.Say no to Toxic Casuals!
I am doing my best, but I am not a native speaker, sorry.
"Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game." - @AlexanderDeLarge7 -

✭✭✭✭✭Title said game breaking bug and I was ready for the typical hyperbole. I have to say, this is an actual game breaking bug. Hopefully ZOS fixes this before live or there will be plenty of people putting their account at risk for exploiting. It would be very tempting to one shot anything in the game, players, vet trial bosses, etc.6 -

Wasn't really sure how else to title it, issue is (like you said) there are too many posts from people claiming things are game breaking when in reality they are meaningless.PC EUWômbat - Khajiit Magicka Nightblade - AR504 -

I would watch a video of that if it's available. Would be great for a chuckle.6 -

Its very funny to see, these types of names are allowed, but a couple of my guildies were banned for way less offensive names (in this case, his name was sometwatonline, oh no so offensive :O ) and yet, you allow the name "Wombat ***"?
This has to be a joke @ZOS_GinaBruno
Please be consistent with your punishments / treatment of your customers. Its almost everyday I see people with offensive character names, account names and nothing is done about it.

Hmm i dont, im fine with it. But why does the forums censor it though? What is offensive about sometwatonline? its not refering to somebody else, its refering to him. why didnt my guildie had a chance to change his character name? it was an instaban with no appeal possible. tell me whats different between my friends name and wombat ***? why are some people benefitinmg while others cant even ask for help in the support section.
This is the kind of things that will ultimately break your game. shame too, this game is awesome. but customer support is utter trash. I just want my friend to be unbanned and treated fairly, is it too much to ask?? He already stated to Support that he wants to change his name, they never told him / let him do it. Why? Other people have been told to change their username/character name, but not him. Ah, also? First "offense" too. Can someone explain this?@InkySpots PC-EU0 -

Its only on the forums, I've already had 27 Character name changes + @name change + Warning on the game from this. No doubt it will happen on the forums now.
Enjoy.

Joking aside, you lose the stacked stats as soon as a basic mob dies. Which in itself if curious, I have to wonder what is happening on the server side when said mob dies. So while you can potentially get Immortal Redeemer solo and could potential get Gryphon Heart as a trio, the other, larger trials remove the stacked stats, meaning you could have to spend 10+ minutes getting them back before a boss fight.Quickly, do and record a Planesbreaker solo run on PTS!!!

Very much depends on what the name actually is. There are a lot of names I see on live using British Slang (some serioulsy offensive) that most people that aren't from here won't notice, no doubt the same for some of the Dutch/German/French players, they don't seem to get banned likely because ZoS don't actually know its offensive.PC EUWômbat - Khajiit Magicka Nightblade - AR500 -

I had a character with a very vulgar British slang as name for a long time, only recently I changed it.
It seemed hilarious to a very intoxicated me 6 years ago, but wore thin rather quickly. Alas name changes are not free...Edited by ApoAlaia on October 13, 2021 1:57PM0
