Healing staff bug.

Please fix the healing staff bug.

This bug was in ESO beta for well over a year. It was reported over and over by my guilds and friends and I'm sure many other people who use the healing staff.

We are now a month into the real game. It is still here.

I can not play the game like this. I have to relog every time this pops up. This happens about once every 20 minutes.

Why can't you fix this? We just paid you guys over 100 million dollars. Hire some people and fix this bug.

Thank you.

what specifically is the bug you are trying to point out?

if its the "stuck" animation on the staff itself, that also effects lightning staffs, then yes im surprised it got out of beta... it also appears with certain abilitys like repentance... where if you trigger on a big enough group and move in and out of render range of the used corpses, the beam effect will retrigger if you re-enter render range.

that said. atm cosmetic bugs like this should be pretty low on the chopping block...

Its blinding and makes me regret I play first person and picked resto staff. =(

No, it shouldn't.

I can't play like that. It is a game stopping bug. Also, as said earlier, it has been in the game well over a year now.

does /reloadui maybe fix it?

GossiTheDog · May 2014

It's been there since 2013, I'd be amazed if it gets fixed.

When animations get stuck for me i do a quick double tap and roll and usually fixes it for me. That being said maybe press z to put it away when you are walking/explorong if it doesnt fix it? ... Might help playa ility a little

Artemiisia · May 2014

I just swap weapons, that works for me 99% of the time

Ker.Rakb16_ESO · May 2014

Bashing fixes that for me.

In the video you just saw that was my switched weapon. It never fixes it.

LOL game stopping bug. A game stopping bug would be a main storyline quest keeping you from getting VR ranks. A game stopping bug would be 3/4 of the nightblade skills and passives not working..... yes please unsubscribe because your staff glows some times when its not supposed too.

This does not affect your game, so you dismiss it. Fine. I deal with selfish posters like you all the time.

However, it is game stopping TO ME and many others. I have to constantly stop playing and relog. It is not a minor bug to players who have to constantly deal with this every 20 minutes.

BTW, why are you here arguing with me? Nothing better to do than to hope this bug does not get fixed right away? REALLY? Shame on you.

jayssenrwb17_ESO · May 2014

There are several animation bugs that have existed for a long time....perhaps one of these ridiculously long, twice weekly maintenances will fix it. ROFL

Yes you are correct. I do hope this bug does not get fixed right away and you know why? Because its a small graphical bug. When there are class skills and core mechanics bugged and core storyline quest locking everyones levling progress in the game. I play nightblade and 3/4s of our class skills and passives do not work. If they fixed this before an entire class works properly i would lose my ***. As I am sure most people would. Your problem is that your staff glows sometimes when it shouldn't...when it glows none the less when you use it. Noone in there right mind would call that game breaking..annoying yes.. but not game breaking.

The glow in the video is a small one. When its about 4 times as big and I swear my plasma screen maybe giving my a light sun burn is when I have to relog. Wish bash, roll, switching weapons worked to remove it.

Actually I listed why but apparently you stopped reading after the first sentence. Also my main is a restro staff using templar so it does affect me, but i just recognize the fact that there are much bigger bugs in the game than a small graphical glitch

I read it and gave the real reason.

B.S.

Or at minimal you don't play in first person view.

Merlin13KAGL · May 2014

In the OP's defense, the youtube video does not do this justice, especially when in 1st person.

Add the other arcane effects that may be in use, plus the various attacks being thrown at you...often in a dark game environment and it is significant...

Especially on a large, bright screen, it does affect your ability to focus on the world around you making it harder to use your peripheral vision, etc. (Play in a dark room for full effect and it's even worse)

Imagine if when you wielded your sword (or other weapon of choice), it was placed full vertical right in the center of your screen...

Would this not affect your ability to see/interact/dodge etc?

The horseback part is more of annoyance. The first person view does detract from the playability more than you may realize if you do not use staves. (And putting the weapon away also means you lose a second or two when defending or attacking later, with that second sometimes being the difference between surviving or resurrecting...)

In a brawl, the visuals are expected to be extreme to an extent...but being half blinded by your own weapon is a little much. It could easily be toned down when 'idle' and visually charge up for attacks/heals...

WoW, people will complain and threaten to sue over just about anything.

Threaten to sue? What thread are you reading?

GossiTheDog · May 2014

Guys - this is a bug which needs fixing. Not immediately, just at some stage it needs dealing with. You get a glowing ball randomly floating on screen when you're on a horse, it's nonsense

Fuzzylumpkins · May 2014

The very minute I saw this poster played in first person, I no longer cared. Want to fix a real issue? Fix pets so when you die to a mob, respawn and cast a fresh pet, it doesn't charge the damn mob and get you killed again. That is a real issue. Not this cosmetic garbage that annoys first person players.

Lovely · May 2014

Look, if the guy says the only way to stop it is to relog, than it is gamestopping. Because you actually have to stop. Relogging for different things is by far the most annoying thing in this game.

Character stuck - relog, npc now showing up - relog, quest not working - relog, nodes not showing up - relog, passive not working - relog, debuff stuck on - relog...

Because nobody plays in first person.....

Apparently the ones that care about cosmetic tosh, do. Grats.

Was that supposed to mean something?

Mephos · May 2014

hahahaha.. I THOUGHT I FOUND A REALLY SPECIAL STAFF xDDDD .. which is glowing really nicely .. never found it was a bug since I don´t play first person, but I see how annoying it can be ^^

aufischb16_ESO · May 2014

I really don't understand why people constantly feel the need to jump on anyone complaining about an issue.
This glowing resto-staff apparently is a game-breaker for someone who plays first person. So yes it needs to be fixed. ESO is advertised as a game that can be played in both first and third person after all.
I personally never play first person, but I can imagine how much it must suck if this is the playing style you love and are good in, but can't see hardly anything (not even the location of your enemys) because of what seems to be a small graphical bug.
It is not an issue for me, but it is as much a game-stopping issue for the OP (and probably other afftected players) as a bugged main-quest. Why not accept this fact and leave it at that, instead of jumping onto the OP?
