Lost PvP Campaign buffs again after maintenance/reboot

Same as Thursday, but then were back next day.

Hopesfire campaign. Only Emperor buff, missing all others

fyrefenix

you know from a look at some of these posts, being a smarty pants or rude to the community manager(s) is not going to get a problem fixed any faster... i know bugs are frustrating and bots are too but there is no need to be immature and rude. state your problem and ask for help but don't bash the people from zenimax here to help. and im not white knighting or taking any sides truth be told... im on a eso vacation because of the difficulty of veteran 4+ content and the recent double nerf to templars. so just try to be patient and respectful.

Purchase

Still no achieves

lotharlocnar_ESO

The anger and frustration is aimed at Zenimax and their ability to produce an MMO of which we feel is actually worth the money they wanted up front. The level of frustration is mainly (for me) due to money for product difference. I fully agree we have no idea which dev or tech is responsible for what failure within this MMO all we Jhon Q. Public knows is that there are bugs that should've been removed weeks ago, and some should've been removed directly after/before going public. If ones car doesn't work after buying it one takes it back and yells at the dealership, even though it's not those individuals who "made" it. It's called a pecking order, customers cannot go directly to the person who designed it/created it, but we can voice our anger to those who can quit beause of the lousy company they work for.

Nothing about adding the correct level of provisioning mats to vet level area containers?

Or fixing excessive gear repair costs in a game that forces grind at vet levels.

Or giving players a decent amount of space to store the stuff they need to craft with/research...not to mention lack of space for social things like pets/trophies/costumes.

Or fixing the broken container loot and the pointless diminishing returns and nerfed drop rates which does nothing to stop the bots (just punishes players), instead actually helps the bots sell more motifs and gold in a broke ass economy where nobody but the exploiters and people who buy from the bots can get the things they want?

I am sorry, I have to agree with @Hilgara on this... If your repairs cost more money then you get from completing quests + Loot... Well, clearly you are doing a lot wrong. Maybe it is time to go reset those skills and give a hard look into having some additional health, maybe better armor.

May also want to work a profession or two... Seriously, making gold in this game is easy, maybe even easier then it was in WoW... With nearly no efford I can make over 40k gold a day... The only reason I am staying on the 100kish mark is because I've reset my abilities about 10 times, force leveled enchanting (seriously... that alone cost about 100k... pain in the butt to lvl) and bought all the motifs >.> Not to mention golden mats.

TLDR, learn how to play MMOs... Repairs is one of ESO's obvious gold sinks... And seriously... The game need those cause making gold is really easy!

p.s. Also... bag space issues? Really? LOL

This guy speaks for nobody, if he is on PTS please kick him, he's useless to us. Cheers.

I dont agree with the gold part, but the fact remains, if you need to spend thousands of gold pieces on repairs, then that means your dying a lot. You might want to check your skills and possibly consider respecing. The whole "storage space" is a bank. It works now.

Bag space I can kinda understand why he/she is complaining if they need to spend their money on repairs. Yes, vet levels need vet level materials, and food, and drinks. Not this level 1 stale bread and so... many.... rodents feet...

And to the comment above mine. Wtf. That was a very low blow and you should feel ashamed for trying to downgrade somebody.

Do we have any word when the achievement fix is coming through? I realize it is a minuscule issue compared to some of the other things going on, but I would like to be able to at least get my title for beating all the Quest achievements in Daggerfall Covenant, as it is impossible to go back and re-do these missions with my character.

Can we please add the multiply reported-on glitch on 'God of Schemes'? Numerous people have reported the glitch before the final fight against Molag Bal, where he either picks you up and repeatedly shakes or uses you as string-less marionette.

Iago

after I downloaded the patch I realized that my Charachters hairstyle and eye color have changed. was this supposed to happen? Can it be fixed?

Don't forget the times he wants nothing to do with you and just drops you and kills you. such an annoying bug hindering A LOT of progression.

Drephin

2nd time this week that i've been locked out of the game. Every log in attempt gives error 301. Tried having a friend more than 1000 miles away in a different country log into my account to verify that it is not an ISP related issue (as they tried to have me believe last weekend). Friend received same error message on my account but his account works fine. This is the most frustrated i've ever been about any bug in any MMO i've played (17 yrs of playing MMOs) and yes i played beta and launch of WoW and DAoC, neither of which were this terrible.

I post here because it looks like the Devs set up this thread to discuss these issues, but i notice there is basically no Dev communication at all after initial post...... anyone else feel like we're being ignored? I might as well take my 3x $5 bills next month and wipe my ass with it rather than pay these frauds. I feel cheated and ashamed that i looked forward to this games launch. I guess i'll start looking for a new MMO to spend my $$$ on.

Sertari

Could you please also fix the stuck in Combat mode bug? It's getting annoying.

AngryNord

And PLEASE fix the weapon-swap bug!! So irritating to fast-travel, or relog, and then all of a sudden have a different weapon!

priecher

I am in Bangkorai and the first part of Cadlwell's Silver there is broken. I believe it is defend Evermore. The quest for Imperial Infiltration is where I am stuck. After marking the three spies the quest just disappears. It does not allow any progression past it.

I have tried killing all addons, running the advisor, repairing the game, logging in and out, reloading ui, and even trying it on different computers. I have tried it on 3 windows computers and 2 Mac Clients and it is just broken for my character.

This is the absolutely last quest I have and it is bugged. The only thing I can do with my main is PvP (gets old after a while) or kill random things to get EXP (I am not going to do that). ALL PROGRESSION for me has stopped. PLEASE FIX ASAP or at least give us a workaround.

Below are some of the in-game issues we are currently working on fixing. Note that this list is not everything we’re working on, just the highest priority ones.

General

• Botters - We are continuing to improve our process and security behind-the-scenes for combating botters in-game. This is an ongoing work in progress that we are fully dedicated to. Please keep in mind that we cannot go into detail on the various actions we’re taking to combat botting, as doing so could put our game and security at risk.
• EU Server Lag – Some of you have been experiencing latency while playing on the European megaserver. This is something we are aware of and are actively investigating.
• Achievements – We are aware that some of you are having trouble acquiring all the achievements for Shadowfen and other areas. We plan to have this fixed in our next patch, and you will receive any previously missing achievements retroactively.
• Eidetic Memory - Some of you may be missing books from your Eidetic Memory Collection. We are aware that this is an issue, and are currently working on a fix.

Gameplay

• Nightblade – We have many fixes coming to the Nightblade in our next patch, including fixes to abilities and passives that weren’t working properly, and adjusting the responsiveness in high-intensity combat. We’ll continue to monitor the Nightblade after we push these fixes live.
• Weapon Swapping – We’ve seen your feedback that weapon swapping lags during combat, and we are currently testing a fix that significantly improves the responsiveness. As this is caused by a number of different factors, we want to be confident in the change before pushing it live.
• Passives – We found that some passives would stop working when you die, including many of the vampire passives. These will be fixed in our next patch.
• Werewolf Ultimate Pack Leader – Many of you have expressed concerns that this ultimate is not working properly. We have identified the root cause of this issue, and it will be fixed in our next patch.

Quests
Below are some quests that we have identified specific issues with and are working on fixes for. We’ll push the fixes live in a future patch as soon as they’re ready. Keep in mind there are many more quests that we’re working on, and this list is not all-inclusive.

• A Walk Above the Clouds
• Castle of the Worm
• Halls of Torment
• Haunting of Kalari
• Master of Leki’s Blade
• Will of the Council
• The Army of Meridia
• The Dangerous Past
• The Den of Lorkhaj
• The First Step

Update - 5/19/14

We've been keeping a close eye on this thread and on the forums in general, and wanted to let you know where a few other common issues currently stand:

Cyrodiil Loading Screens - We know many of you have been plagued with long loading screens when trying to enter Cyrodiil. We're happy to say that this will be fixed with our next patch.

In addition, we are currently investigating the following issues:

• Broken world bosses, including Lesser Circle in Alik'r and Summoner's Camp in Bangkorai
• Issues with Provisioning, including finding low-level items in Veteran Rank containers
• Getting stuck moving slowly in combat

Remember, the issues we're listing out in this thread doesn't include everything that we're working on, just some of the more prevalent issues. Thanks for your continued patience!

And templars? Working as intended?

stmalkb14

The Liberation of Northpoint please. This quest is dead because of Darien. It makes the whole Rivenspire storyline dead.

Argruna

Currently cannot complete the the quest 'Thwarting the Aldmeri Dominion'. I gave the tools to Tamien, activated the pillars after and have been trying to enter the Lower Ruins for a few days now. Reloading, logging off/on, questing then coming back, leveling up then coming back have not worked to make this quest progress on.

I also realized I am missing achievements. That or I was able to level right past Stormhaven and get to Rivenspire without doing a single quest.

BruceW1939

A huge quest that they've left off that list that has been broken in many ways since launch is "God of Schemes..." THE LAST FREAKIN' QUEST IN THE MAIN STORY LINE!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? WHY IS THIS NOT A PRIORITY??? WHO CARES IF A LOAD SCREEN TAKES A BIT TOO LONG OR IF A BUILD IS TOO POWERFUL WHEN A GAME HALTING BUG PREVENTS ONE FROM PROGRESSING THEIR CHARACTER THAT THEY'VE PUT SO MUCH TIME AND EFFORT INTO? But no, lets just nerf things that people like and work on load screen times. Who cares about game progress any ways.

Revi_Nightfire

Imperial Infiltration is bugged AGAIN after the patch.

Upon killing all 3 spies with the crows the quest drops off, and when you return to the queen she gives it to you again in a eternal loop.

This is probably a minor bug, it just make all veteran contents unavailable for people who meet this bug, that is only half of the game contents actually, so there is no use to treat this as a priority...

SypherDiass

on 'god of schemes' final quest people have forgotten to mention the times when he drops you and you dont die but you have no control over your character at all ...

i did get a semi reasonable offer of a possible in game bypass from customer services , but it was the last part of an infuriating email suggesting i try stupid things that will not do anything that i had already told them i had tried , so i ddint read it til after i replied , in which i told them to just email me when its been fixed cos i am bored of waiting around for ages for fix after fix on bugged quests ..... i have been back on the game for 2 days after waiting for 7 days to get 'the endless war' fixed .... and now i am facing the molag bal issue like so many others , including guildies and friends , most of whom are also getting tired of all the broken quests that dont seem to be a priority for being fixed ...

as someone said above , why is nerfing templars or reducing loading times even on the 'to look at' pile when there are soo many fundamental quests with bugs ?

RatsnevE

This 'critical thread' concerning current status of bugged quests and characters is NOT being updated by ZOS timely and that is not acceptable. This thread should be kept updated on a daily basis without exception. I am beta testing your game at my expense. I have a damaged NB class acknowledged by so many other gamers and you have refused my refund request.

It seems to me that Bethesda's left hand--Zenimax--doesn't know what its right hand--3rd party Technical Support--is doing and the other way around. I think this 3rd party support is exemplary running 24 x 7 over the phone even but that's not good enough if it is running a week behind what Zenimax is doing fixing only part of the problems while introducing new problems.

I want to know if my NB is now fixed in single player boss battles 100% and on par with other character classes or if she is still broken TODAY and not last week before the 1.1.3 update and who knows what other hot-fixes were applied. If the NB is not fixed I want at a minimum compensation back in the form of added free days of playtime because as of yesterday I still cannot reasonably get through single player boss battles and I am not going to play a Khajiit NB made out to be a light armored staff wielding Sorcerer stuck in the game because you won't refund!

THIS has to be one of the highest priority bugs in the game. A complete, utter show stopper from which you cannot progress or exit, meaning you cannot play your character. And the number of people reporting it make clear that it's affecting a significant part of the player population.

With no comment or reference to this in "Known Issues", CS reportedly telling people they can't help, and all during the launch week of Wildstar? What are you guys thinking?

RatsnevE

Wow! This is a game changer for me but I can be totally relaxed about all these problems now. With references to my ESO complaints I've been experiencing with single-player boss battles and numerous other quest bugs GameStop with little question is fully refunding my $59.99 cost.

It is now up to ZOS to decide whether they want to close my account now and waste the $30 I recently spent for 60 days of gaming or leave it alone and let me continue to beta test the Khajiit NB character which might be invaluable to them as my play style is more on the casual side then the deep strategy side hardcore is always drawn into--I hope they leave me alone and let me do this. But I feel almost euphoric now that I'm not being screwed in these single player boss battles and quest bugs.

I'm going to continue to revert my Khajiit NB to its character norm with medium armor, sword & board, assassin/dps, self find enchanted gear and blades, amulets, and rings, and alchemy the only craft right now. I'll buy better stuff if that really becomes necessary...or pick up the passives and proceed to craft.

Most pressing next is needing to understand and use Guilds. It seems to be some challenge to understand as a casual gamer because when I open the Guild window it is empty!? And I need to learn how to effectively join a group to take on the private group-only dungeons and quests? However this will always be a solo PvE game for me. It will only be the ultimate end perhaps if I ever taste PvP.

Quest: Rites of the Queen (Auridon, NA server)

Still bugged - when you complete you can't exit the dungeon. Frankly I'm tired of reporting the bug in game as this is my 4th play through & nothing has been accomplished by reporting it. Possibly it has something to do with the reduced reticle radius (I've tried running into the wall as close as possible).

infraction2008b16_ESO

Achievements still not fixed after latest update....

Grim13

How about you add skills just flat out failing to work in PvP on a regular basis to the list.

SypherDiass

A guildie told me he found somewhere on the forums that molag bal fight has been fixed .....

he managed to get through it when he was stuck yesterday also .....

i logged in and went to fight him , got past the usual stuck points , got into the ground combat with him , being a ww i wanted to get some screens of me as ww fighting him .... except the ww transformation glitch kicked in and left me with arched back and ww moves with a bow in my hand i cannot use ....

needless to say i died , when i res'd i fought him with bow an sword an shield til the titans came ....

then BUGGED AGAIN ...... i couldnt hit any of the titans ... chat wasnt working , waited afew mins for it to crash , but it didnt , it just sat there not letting me do anything ....

GREAT FIX WELL DONE ....... and thanks for the email notification of the fix i was assured .....

GO AN TRY MOLAG BAL IF YOU ARE STILL STUCK THERE ..... dont know why a dev / mod hasnt been in here to suggest it , but i guess this is the thread they ignore ......

Search distince (a.k.a. "Item interaction distance") problem: Around the time of patch 1.1.2 I immediately noticed that I had to get much closer to containers/items to loot them. Next I noticed I was not receiving a "search" prompt for containers I had looted in the past. So upon closer investigation, I noticed I still could loot said containers, but had to get much closer, and could not loot them if my viewpoint was below them, regardless of whether or not line of sight was broken. This means that I now have to jump and time my pressing of "E" just right in order to loot the aforementioned containers that are on eye-height shelves. I have to put my face right up against some containers in order to get the prompt, where I used to get the prompt at a perceived distance of about 4-5 feet - including the containers on the shelves. It seems to be global, affecting all alliances maps (except I didn't check Cyrodiil). It affects all my ( 8 ) characters.

A good example is the barrels on the high hanging shelves in the Fish Stink tavern in Davon's Watch, Stonefalls. I used to be able to loot these without jumping. Now the "E" prompt doesn't even show until I jump. I am not using short height characters. My wife has this same problem, and she plays on a different account, on a different computer, unmodded. I just want them to fix it, either put it back the way it used to be, or find a happy medium. Right now they seem to be breaking more things than they fix, and I don't care about the added content for groups. I just want them to fix things that affect most players, as they should have instead of working on added content that only a few players will use.


I put in a help desk ticket, the guy said he noticed this too, and will "escalate" the issue, but cannot help me at this time, and I should submit a "bug report" about it to inform the developers.

reference code is: 140525-018766.

RatsnevE

I've some of what you describe too but I guess I've grown use to it. I'm feeling sorry for ZOS today. There are so many problems on its plate with this game.
