Shade no longer working in IC?

blktauna

I just hopped into IC and when I try to use my shadow imge to hop back to where I left it, nothing happens. the toom does the motion but I don''t snap back to it. Is it just me orr is anyone else getting this?

i usually use it to get back up to the tower in the arena district after doing a quick loot or quest stuff, do you know how far you were from the shade? as far as im aware the teleport to shade thing has a max range of like 28 meters, if you are outside of that range, you will just recast a new shade

i havent specifically tried using it like recently, but thats how ive noticed it to work

Thats exactly what I use it for and luckily I tested before I dropped down. I was not even 10m from it at the time. Well several times. I wasted like 5 minutes on it.

It did work correctly in Cyrodil so I'm mystified.

interesting, im not sure what would be causing this, though i know this suppression field has caused a lot of oddities for other things in the past (namely with gap closers), so it might be doing something weird on that front with the shade

Just checked on my main account and it doing the same thing. Works everywhere but IC.

off to do the bug report

Out of curiosity, is this the same bug that plagued a lot of charge attacks including the DK leap?

I know for a while they worked fine in Cyro, but you could end up with 'permanently out of range' in BGs or IC. We pretty much had to slot those skills after jumping down in order to get them to work properly.

Just to science it, have you tried not having it on the bar, and then slotting it after you jumped down? Does that get it to consistently work? Obviously not a permanent solution, but I haven't seen the 'out of range' bug recently, so maybe that might get fixed if we knew more about it.

It's possible but I was shading up and down platforms in IC perfectly well before Monday's update so I'm inclined to think its something ZOS broke this pass.

And yes I'd already tested the on and off from when teleport strike as borked before. But no luck.

Happy Xmas.

Works in sewers but still not in IC proper.

So like I'm the only person this has happened to?
