Should also like to point out that the initial assesment of it being only Khajiit Nightblades wasn't accurate. It's any race and any class. Here's my magsorc brutalising a guard. (altmer magsorc)
Imagine getting hit by that in PvP?
Under no circumstance can this, or any part of this, hit 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.
It's very easy to replicate. At first it was described as needing a build saved with the Armory system, then adding Dark Cloak. Initial assumptions were maybe Nightblade passive for having a Shadow ability slotted, or being Khajiit (incorrect), or both combined. But after a few (a long few) hours of testing, none of those were accurate. It's actually a very simple process that can be done on any character (regardless of class or race).Based on Screenshots and your report of class/race etc. - I'm assuming you're able to recreate this bug in many scenarios?
If anyone gets banned for something on the PTS, ZOS needs to really consider what the PTS is actually for if not to test stuff and report it. I won't go into why people might get banned on Live, though. That's a ToS issue.Watch out releasing those bugs/exploits.
They banned lot of people for simply pointing them out with tickets or else.

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.

Maybe having too high stats should trigger something to prevent bugs like this, however, it is worth noting that all the numbers used for combat calculations are only 'real' on the server-side, which is why you don't see hackers with crazy high stats.That an error leads to something like this is one thing, but that the values themselves do not immediately trigger an alarm on the server is another.
In my opinion there must be an upper limit and a check on it, because otherwise a hacker can certainly generate such values in another way.
I really wonder how many players are already using increased values (by whatever means) - if such obvious fantasy values are possible.
I wasn't aware of that fact - but that is good to hearCyberOnEso wrote: »but it wouldn't matter, as you need the server to think you have that much magicka, which is what is happening here.

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.
Sincerely, Rootmender Inky.
How does one get offended by wombat nimbles lol
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?
if you can't see how *** is a more offensive word than *** than i feel very sorry for you
