MASSIVE BUG/EXPLOIT Why havent you shut the servers down?

eovogtb16_ESO

There is a huge damage problem/exploit that is actually game breaking going on right now that needs to be addressed. The servers or trials need to be shut down until its fixed.

If you have a team with 12 DK's your team will be practically invulnerable, you probably dont even need a tank. With only 5 dks in my group last night I was able to tank bahsei hardmode hits in LIGHT ARMOR with ~10k resists where they would instantly kill me previously.

DPS have also tanked xalvakka HM, due to this bug.

You can get every trifecta in the game right now just stack it with DKs and standards. As long as you can survive the crashes.

So PC? New patch? All games including consoles?

Maybe just a bit more detail would be helpful.

It’s pc from the new patch. It’s really bad. I’m very much hoping its fixed with the hotfix.

In content or with the dummy. Because there is a known "parse" bug for dks where they can do 400k or something but in numbers only. Supposedly if you display out going damage you can see the actual numbers in real time.

eovogtb16_ESO

It is not numbers - you can kill oax hm in 1-2 mins, bahsei hm in a 1-3 mins and xalvakka hm in ~3-4 minutes, hardmode. Just rockgrove hardmode for an example.

What, did they nerf boss health another 10%?

eovogtb16_ESO

Buffs keep stacking and dont drop on dragonknights so damage potential has no limit.

Inquisitor_Wind

Seen many groups that poped up overnight where everyone was DK and got their first HM and trifectas doing 270k+ dps from each DK.
It's pretty sad.

Eso youtubers insist this only on parse dummies.

I wanna say, I cant say for certain, but I wont because speculating is against the forum rules now, how am I going to say this.

Better not I guess, because that would be speculating, which is against this forums, fml.

@jtm1018 this is where bureaucratic corporate speak can help:

“I anticipate….”

“It may be possible…..”

“Current projections point to….”

“Early estimates suggest that….”

This one may or may not have written in jest

I would like to guess that you were jesting, but that would be me speculating which is against forum rules, so I will not guess, for the record, I am not speculating anything.

You do realize players abusing bugs to their advantage risk their entire accounts to be perma banned. Especially repeat offenders. Abusing bugs like these is a huge risk, I wouldn't advise ever doing something like this.

Be very careful!

bluekaramelz

Why are you using a screenshot of a former prog group and tell that people are getting trifectas and first time HM clears?
I mean, yes, there is a chance that there are groups getting their first HM clears for specific content. But trifectas need way more than a bugged ultimate. And quick heads up: As far as I know, that specific group stopped raiding afterwards as they did not want to risk a ban.

jtm1018

To show that there is actual problem in game.
Kudos to the raiding group for stopping their raiding because of this bug.
That screenshot is to show proof that there is a bug in game that should be address immediately.

boi_anachronism_

World's first solo plansbreaker!! Let's goooo 🤣

Matherios

@ZOS_Kevin Any news about this? I wouldn't like to cancel raids just in case the bug is still there and i am not gonna ask people to change their classes for the raid till it's fixed.

eovogtb16_ESO

@ZOS_Kevin @ZOS_GinaBruno Are we going to be banned for playing the game or should we just uninstall for the next month in order to be safe?

I have raid teams who generally play every day, if this is going to get us banned for playing the game we pay for there isn't a point in us playing.

What happens if we play and get every trifecta in the game right now will we be banned?

Can you please let us know what is happening? Thank you.

This is constructive.....

Troodon80

We've got upcoming raids where our group predominantly has the class responsible for this damage boost (it doesn't just apply to the target dummy). As others have asked, are we going to be banned simply for playing the class how we've played it for the last 2+ years or is there going to be some form of address to this?

No one in end game is going to take clears seriously during this period of time, but there are, sadly, some people out there deliberately pushing for Swashbuckler Supreme and other trifectas while this extreme damage boost exploit exists.

eovogtb16_ESO

This *** is still not fixed.

This is actually ridiculous. You should shut the servers down and you roll them back until you can get this stuff figured out.

Matherios

@ZOS_Kevin Apparently there is a bug with stampede where the initial hit doesn't always crit , when you roll dodge you drop block.

Lucozade85

They did say they wanted to increase accessibility

Block in general is extremely janky with this update, including with sprinting and channelled abilities.

The fact that we had to have a, well I'll not call it a debate, but a discussion prior to our initial pull in vDSR HM prog group on the pros and cons of potentially everyone getting banned and how this has completely broken the content all the while silence from Zenimax is pretty telling. You guys saw that this was a bug on PTS, and didn't do a damn thing about it. Seriously get your stuff together, as this looks hilariously bad for you guys, and that is saying something considering your prior history.

Don't worry, we had half our group crash 3 times back to back before we even left the boat after we reset the instance and people changed toons or reskilled their DK's and then disbanded.

Veinblood1965

I soloed a few trials last night it was a blast. (sarcasm folks).

Edit - Seems the damage is back to normal after day 2 Maint.

It is not fixed.

Myrddin1357

DKs are so broken that there is no way to avoid this bug if you play DK at all. My group did vDOM HM on DKs to see what all the fuss was about. Using standard just almost immediately tripled our normal dps numbers.

We decided to simply stop using the DK ultimate halfway through. Our damage numbers did go back to what we normally see. But my DK took almost no damage from any of the mechanics.

This is such a serious bug that I'm surprised there isn't a lot more discussion about this on the forums.

SaintJohnHM

At least with the DK buff you can clear content that the new block bug made more difficult.

SeaGtGruff

I thought mentioning a bug exploit and explaining it in enough detail for players to go duplicate it was seriously frowned upon, as in, considered ban-worthy bad?

Cadbury

So...I'm guessing in a few days maybe the devs will make a post and some DKs ingame will mysteriously disappear/take a vacation?

Either way, I suspect a drop in DK players soon...
