Invisible mobs, instant death...fun

alewis478b14_ESO

So I keep getting attacked by mobs I can't see. I only know this because I see the red dots on my compass and I start moving at combat speed. Then I see my Mana and Stamina instantly drain to zero, then I fall over dead.

This is stupid. Step up and offer refunds.

Yup this just happened to me and I just logged for now (but even before that I had a bugged quest so yeah...) soooooo will log back in laterz.

Same thing here, died 3 times now to invisible enemy. Apparently it can happen with quest npc too, and requires the player to exit completely, simply logging out and back in wont clear it.

This really sucked in Cyrodiil during the betas. Thought it was fixed for launch but guess not.

Guess it is a good thing I just keep CTD'n in Cyrodiil.

Had this happen in Coldharbour at the very start With at least two of my toons, haven't experienced it elsewhere thankfully

killerbeex

game cashes every 2 hours of playing on the mac.. so every 2 hours i will have to force quite ..

it sound like your in one shard of the server and the enemy is in another.. it sounds like a server freak out.. too many players.. i guess they needed to invest in bigger servers... more locations..

I had this issue three times in Glenumbra, open world and dungeon. Relog will not fix this, i had to close the whole client and launcher to fix this issue.

There might be several issues related, one could be the phasing/culling problem; and I've come across a weird physical problem: it seems that when you are hit back on the stairs, you will receive a good amount of falling damage, similar things happened back in Skyrim before causing insta death. If this is the case, this must be the physical engine havok's deadly problem that Zenimax/Bethesda could not solve.

I never experienced this in 6 months of beta or early release until today. Getting killed by invisible mobs. Entered a cave quest area and couldn't see any mobs (just red dots on the compass). They could hit me but I couldn't hit them. Entered the bank in two cities and couldn't see the banker. Did a quest turn in and invisible mobs spawned that I couldn't see or hit but who could kill me.

Relogging seems to fix it temporarily but then it happens again within minutes. Trying a repair on my install to see if that does anything but I'm not exactly optimistic. This thread is almost 3 weeks old so did anyone figure anything out about this?

Still happening...i'm getting this tonight for the first time, and i've been playing daily since early access. Tried relogging multiples times, quitting the game completely and restarting, still invisible npcs and mobs...can't even see my characters at the start screen.

I have a lot of issues with stuff appearing on screen very slowly or not at all. Invisible NPCs, Invisible Enemies, also collision not loading properly, DC is horrendous for this, I have died many times due to the bridges both in Daggerfall and Wayrest - and it's NOT a problem at my end, I see plenty of other characters stop before walking onto the bridge, gingerly try to feel their way across it, then disappear into the stonework and have to do /stuck. See loads of people jumping over steps, or waiting for a few seconds before ascending, or getting stuck themselves so I know it's not just me.

This really does need some sort of fix, I don't mind dying to a mob because I tackled the fight badly and had poor tactics, but I do mind having to suicide myself because I fell through a bridge.

I can confirm the slow appearing/loading of stuff. Although I haven't been killed by invisible mobs, I keep falling through stairs (and getting trapped in them afterwards). I too have started to wait before a stair and gingerly feel my way up or down it.

This only started about a week ago but is very annoying. Especially in cities where the wayshrine (to which the /stuck - command transports you) is far away from the market.

What has been around longer is the fact that once I arrive at the market, I have to wait around 15 - 30 Seconds for the Seller actually appearing.

Ouch, that's bad, worse than being killed by invisible mobs, because the mobs aren't all the time.

Had the dot problem in Rivenspire & Alik'r - fave ws the Alik'r one where I had a guest (Talia?) who actually had quite the fight with thin air and killed the dot... No loot though...
