just got hit by a bow shot for 47,560 damage - bow line needs looked at

jeradlub17_ESO

Above in the upper left corner you will see the damage done to me. I just got hit by a bow shot for 47,560 damage. It appeared to be possibly poison arrow from the cloud effect that accompanied it. Obviously ESO needs to take a look at this weapon and figure out why it is doing that ludicrous damage. Now I know why I see so many sorcerors using bow instead of the slow as hell misfiring staff. Really sick of dieing due to game bugs and broken abilities.

I'm guessing the archer used snipe/lethal arrow from stealth, and probably had some damage buffs up. But yeah, being 1 hit killed before even getting a chance to enter combat isn't right.

Phyrdrin

Oh noes! It's the nerf herders :O

Or the previous hits were the arrow and you got struck by a ballista for the high hit.

I just want to know one thing... how can I replicate this issue? I simply would like to run tests, so I can properly report this bug.

Grygnak

No where in your screenshot does it show a bow did this amount of damage. Are you purposefully singling out bow users?

BenjaminKacher_ESO

Why does it show you took more damage after that hit?...

Check his combat log in top left corner.

I wish my bow did that much damage

Don't you know? If you post anything approaching a complaint here, the standard response is "You must be new to MMOs."

Oh I remember now - that must have been my Patriot Arrow

The combat log doesn't report the weapon.

I did see the combat log, it says "You were hit for 47560". Nowhere does it say a bow did this.

Side note: your light armor looks awesome what motif is that?


Hmm i think thats not a bow. Ive been hit by a vr10 night blade on cyrodiil with snipe and their -75% resist thingy and it only did 12k dmg on me as a lvl 15 healer.

47 seems too much

So, where exactly is the proof that a bow hit for 47000 damage? The combat log doesn't indicate the source of the damage. It could have been a siege weapon for all we can tell from that screenshot.

Just everyone posting "I am really sick of X".
It's a MMO. Bots, ocassional Bugs and Spam belong to it like the Servers, the players and the need for Internet connection.
It is a MMO in the third week after launch. Everything annoying about MMO will be more pronounced in the first Quarter after launch.
And I fell almost silly having to point that out, as if I was saying "humans need oxygen to live" or "things fall towards the planet". I don't like being captain obvious.

Also, while the combat log says "You were hit for 47,560 damage" it does not say from what source.
For all we know he jumped off a really highcliff, used /stuck, was hit by a siege weapon and the combat log entry is from that event (instead of the bow).
Or any of the other possible users errors when reporting "a bow did 47,560 damage to me".

Two more things that make this report doubtfull:
1) Combat Log is a addon. Addons can be faulty too.
2) Combat Log by default shows the Source (Character) and Ability of the damage. This function was disabeled, but that might have been for better view reasons.
As I do not use it I am not certain if one could just have re-enabeled that information retroactively (it might only be a filter for the data shown and not the data stored in backend varriables).

Grygnak

Good points zgrssd! I think we can all agree the OP is attempting to start a fire where there is only water.

Bangstin

So this was just an attempt to feed some misleading information to the devs. Too bad, hopefully no one at Zenimax wasted any valuable dev time to investigate this.

No there was no one else around just me and the archer. It was a bow hit. The damage after is from another fight before i reported. CLS doesn't display what did it in the log though it could be in a file somewhere.

If you are familiar with CLS you will know that it is a little limited in that it does not tell what hit you. You just know at the time what was going on. I've been hit by poison arrow other times and that didn't happen. Not sure what was different but we were alone.

Further fights after I rezzed before I took the shot. CLS doesn't have time stamps or who shot you or what the ability was. I do know it was the bow cause when i died to the green mist cloud effect from the arrow i immediately looked at the log and was shocked.

Siege don't hit for that much either. Siege 800 at the most. It was the bow I looked immediately unfortunately CLS is a bit limited. It is a bug. They just need to check and see how that happened.

Soloeus

Is it possible you got hit with some kind of big, fierce combo? Could multiple hits have stacked at the same time? Could your mod have misreported the damage you took?

I am simply asking because I am an archer sorcerer and have NEVER had that kind of... well, call it luck or whatever.

If this is the case, then why would you not have a screenshot of this incident occurring at the same time you were engaged with this Lone Ranger.

You are just full of false accusations and obviously have no familiarity with CLS. It has no option to show what hit you just shows the damage you took. If it could I sure would have had it on so I know better and can more clearly show what it was. Don't be so insulting to everyone. You think I wouldn't know the difference between an archer in the middle of a field and a piece of siege? We were alone. The damage after was from when i rezzed and ran back out to get them then ran back in to take the screen. And saying you are sick of bugs that kill people does NOT make a report doubtful. This game may be playable but there are tons of mechanics that SHOULD have been addressed from beta but were ignored and now we are constantly dieing to broken mechanics issues they are promising to fix that have been reported for 6mos or more. This particular bug is new to me.

Grygnak

So you encounter 1 incident with 47k+ damage out of the entirety of this game going live without proper proof that it was a bow that did this, then turn around and call out Zenimax for not fixing broken mechanics issues? It sounds like you just want to start a discussion with no real base.

I didn't ask for a nerf fool. I said they need to look into how it happened and find the bug.

Well you can definitely tell who uses a bow above from their trollish attempts to divert any looking in to it by ESO.

More or less. The fact that he kept taking damage after the so called 40k hit should be another indication that something else is at fault here.
