Current Block Bug

dosco · April 22

I'm also waiting for an update on this

Thursday night vCR training group. Nocturnal's favor... had 4 where the block bug occurred but I had enough health/shield to survive. Had 5 where I died.

Dear ZOS - PLEASE FIX THIS. 13 pulls. 9 unblocked heavy attacks, 5 upstairs tank deaths. Your game is killing the team.

Did vCR0 again. Only had three block bug deaths this week during the Z'maja fight. Had a few with the minis, though. I wish someone from ZOS other than ICY was reading my posts. Would be really nice if, when working through hard content, I did not get killed by bugs in the game I want badly to enjoy playing.

And sadly, it never will.

So, vCR prog night again. We did a +0 where I had 5 unblocked heavy deaths, one of which might have been me. Then we did vCR+1. I had 12 unlocked heavy, 2 were my fault. I'm considering quitting the game, since I really prefer tanking and simply cannot do my job like this. I've stopped recording video, because it tells the same old story. Every. Single. Time.

It's been six months since I first reported this bug and I have exactly ZERO indication that anyone is looking into it. I am really disappointed with the dev/support team.

We have the same problems with the block bug. Not just in Vcr but all raids. Have many Video proofs of my char being obviously in block, but I still get one shot by a heavy. Also, heals do not respond many times. No matter how much I heal my self or the healers try, my bar doesnt go up and I die at the end. Yesterday was the worst when even all my attacks turned dark and I coudnt press anything despite my spot. This game is full of bugs right now, no one seems to care about, that makes tanking hell. Tanking is no fun anymore, and I really consider canceling my subscription and leaving my raid group and this game for good. @ZOS_GinaBruno

Just mentioning this still occurs exactly as it has since last year (or longer)

Sorry to bother you all, but is there any way to know if there is any status for this issue (including, as disappointing as it would be "not a high enough impact bug to schedule resources against")? I can still easily repro the lack of blocking while holding block for any instant cast on any character at any PC I sit down to (there are harder repro cases which are likely the same underlying issue).

I kinda wish this were an actual bug tracker, so I could see assigned status/priority/severity... Some million posts earlier in this thread, Kevin said he would look into the in game bug reports I created (mentioned elsewhere in the thread which had been closed with "Thanks for the feedback"). I hadn't heard anything support/bug related since.

I've provided more video and information than I ever get when I have to deal with a bug reported from a live title, so I really hope you've been able to reproduce the issue. If I thought I would ever be in the neighborhood (I'm not - different coast, different country) I would offer to drop in... repro only takes a second.

I don't play a lot anymore, and I doubt anything will repair that, but occasionally I find myself wishing for closure here. I cared a lot back when I first posted this.

Hope the holidays are kind and quiet (and lacking in data center power outages, etc).

Just a note to remind/clarify; if it is not an instant then it does NOT show the issue. Even arcanist flail with a 0.3 cast time does not show the issue.
