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

I'm not disputing the fact you encountered 47k damage, just simply pointing out theres no proof a bow was involved. I fail to understand where the trolling is...

Well you can definitely tell who uses a bow above from their trollish attempts to divert any looking in to it by ESO. I am surprised some of you can remember to breathe.

I found a screen shot of the incident, but it still doesn't prove a bow was involved.

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.

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.

I already explained the damage after in posts above this. I went back out after rezzing to get them before I ran inside for the screen shot for safety. The damage after tells you nothing. I'm not screaming nerf the bow never said that. I asked for them to look into how this ocassional bug hit happened. As I stated in the original post it looked like poison arrow and I've been hit by it before and never had that happen. Just asking them to look and see what the heck in rare moments is causing that.

Trying to suggest that someone doesn't know the difference is just flat stupid. Ballista is a big ass flaming arrow falling out of the sky from far away and has a huge ground effect. An arrow is a little tiny pling shot fired at you from a person near you and has a totally different graphic. As I stated before we weren't even in range of any siege. Played these games since DAoC I know the difference. I wish CLS could show you more but it doesn't have the capability yet and ESO didn't build it into their UI.

Obviously, you are new to MMOs.

So anyone announcing bugs and possible exploits shows obvious signs that they are new to MMORPG's?

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

The irony is, that those who write "You must be new to MMOs." often are players who haven't themselves played that many MMO's. So they don't know when stuff could be so much better.

Can't remember what addon it is as I've not really played in almost 2 week, but the one that gives experience pop up beside your char after you kill something or complete a quest. Sometimes it won't pop up and that experience builds up and up and eventually it will pop up with 3 or 4 mobs worth of experience. I'm not saying that all your hits were not accounted for but it i possible a calculation could of recalculated all prior hits or something, or something went haywire.

Now something like that could be possible. However I have never ever seen this addon produce an error in a reported number. Maybe even the game itself might do something like that.

Here was a shot for 15383 also accompanied by a green cloud looking effect that killed me. Despite the death apparently the server is lagging in damage registering so much that all the other hits thrown at me at that time still "landed" and registered immediately after. There was no siege shooting at us though we had some aimed at the wall. I saw the hit come in and the guy that did it.

Here is a second shot that hit for max reportable damage at 47560. I say reportable damage because based on a responders comment I opened the lua file and looked at it's settings and saw a line where the max damage reportable is set to 47560. It does not save or track damage in a log so I was at least able to see that the suggestion that somehow it was recording and saving hits up then reporting them all at once was not true. It does not have a way to do this. Why they chose that number I don't know. I also double checked to see if there were any settings I missed to display weapon type and there is not for an incoming shot so as to what it came from well you either have to trust my report or test it/start watching for yourself. timestamps are the only option for incoming damage. However this one shot and instant death again with a green gas cloud with it from an archer and apparently maxed out the reportable damage so it could have actually hit me for more than that.


It appears to be just that one shot type doing it. Every time you appear to get one shot there is always that green gas cloud although the server does also lag in damage application I have been seeing in the log.
