Gamebreaking Bug/Exploit - Bugged Jewelry Enchants

Decimus

Hello!

I hope this thread doesn't break any forum rules, but there is currently a little bug with certain sets and their jewelry glyph bonuses. Basically what happens is that these jewelry pieces still have the old weapon/spell damage glyph attached to them, but can be enchanted again providing a "double enchant".

In order to not break any rules on talking about exploits I will not be naming the sets in question, just hoping for a quick fix to this issue as these "double enchants" are currently providing free 834 weapon/spell damage for people.


Moderators/developers can send me a dm for further details!

@Decimus Thanks for sending this in. We are investigating this now and working toward a solution. If you would like to DM any additional info related to this, please let me know.

Stuff like this definitely needs to be fixed quickly, and I hope that it does...

But man, if this is fixed before the controller issues we've been dealing with for a month now, that is going to be disheartening. The entire combat system was drastically impacted by an irrelevant minor bugfix to gamepad, and there are new issues that have popped up and been reported which haven't even been acknowledged yet despite the initial "fix" being planned for next week.

It would be a shame to find out that ZOS cares more about a bit of extra stat density than a total lack of functionality in the core combat system.

I think this is a very old bug…if it’s the two sets I remember from way back, maybe there are more now. Either way I believe back then it was tested and determined that it was just a UI bug and that your actual dmg numbers didn’t reflect the additional wpn dmg. That was years ago though so maybe I am mistaken.

Have you tested numbers to confirm it is actually increasing dmg and not just a bug with the stat sheet?

Should still be fixed either way.

Tested and confirmed. Without going too much into detail... it's multiple sets.

What sets? Asking for a friend, definitely not to try it...

THIS! it would certainly lower my already low opinion on zos

Unfortunately, there's a few ongoing bugs and it's just too consistent with the nature of the game.

- Scav Maw can proc without poison dmg to trigger.

- Double enchants on named item jewelry sets.

- Purge CP which is bugged, working similar to mara's instantly purging all debuffs.

Hope this also put things into the right direction, please don't ban me or censor me because I wanted to report this to get it looked at.

How about fixing the bug where you're stuck in combat for 10 minutes in Cyrodiil after dying and teleporting to your factions base, not letting you mount or log out that's been around since the games release?

Fixing that first would be nice.

I hope the bug will be fixed immediately and everyone who exploited it will get a (warning ) ban for a month.

There are already a ton of people making "bugged jewerly" builds and exploiting this. I've been selling some specific rings for around 1m each and they are being sold pretty fast. I hope this gets fixed before the upcoming pvp event..,

Can't wait to see the "I got banned for teabagging" videos on the people they get for this exploit.

A "newer" streamer PC/NA just said they will do it once they find out how...that it's ZoS's fault for allowing it in game. Someone in their chat sent them a "how to" in Discord and said "most" players they know are doing it.

I love how half the people post on it now to be removed when it's exposed but talk very different and how much fun they had on it in discord lol. "Have you seen the sales of some of these being flipped for mills lol. No names

It’s always been the same players, except for the ones no longer around. They may not be downloading an actual cheat program, but when a set, skill, or mechanic is bugged they will use it. There are a small few who will send in private reports, like how the op has done. They seek to get the exploit quickly fixed. You learn after a while who is who, and yes, you can see them giving a very different talk in a few discords.

Mara or Rally Cry is one thing to get a advantage
but using this is a entire different ball game to get the one up on oppents. No fair fights in eso.

This bug is definitely making the rounds. A pvp guild I was formerly a member of was discussing plans to farm one of the bugged items in chat this weekend, with one member linking a Youtube video. ZOS needs to figure this one out asap and patch it if they want to maintain any semblence of integrity for pvp in this game.

The two options are that they don't know how to or can't cost effectively fix it.... or that it's working as intended. Unfortunately, this is one thing that they have refused to communicate with us about from the beginning.

If they came from XBox, I know who your talking about.
And, they have figured it out.

I fought some bombers on PC/NA tonight...they run in a large group with tanks that setup their bombs. It was nice to see how much easier they were to kill tonight...both the tanks and the bombers. This entire time they started to believe it was them and not their cheats and now they're getting destroyed. Painfully obvious after fighting them this patch over and over again to see what they are like without that extra damage or massive reduced cost exploit.

Looking forward to PvP this weekend to see how many formerly god-tier players are suddenly mortal again.
