New addition to the fast growing Bug family

Shadowhorn · July 2014

So I was in Cyrodiil and this group of EP is approaching us slowly while we wait for the right moment to strike. There it is. We engage and the clash of weapons and firebolts and thunderbolts all over the place.

....but wait a minute. My spell bar is all greyed out. What the... cant do anything. Going low on health... oh no must cast heal... come on... nope... dead. Happened to me a couple of times today in Cyrodiil.

Anyone else experiencing this? Because if this is a new thing after all the FPS issues and such then its only getting "better".

There are no bugs in ESO.

That is a new feature they added to the game to make combat more exciting.

You are welcome.

@Shadowhorn I have not seen this personally. Just make sure you /bug it.

I hope it get's fixed soon.

In before "stop whining," "this never happens to me, therefore the problem doesn't exist," etc.

It sounds like the old OMG my abilities are greyed out! I can't attack! Help! bug. It happens in PvE as well. I can't remember where (Dev forum? Reddit?), but ZOS has stated they're working on it.

Shadowhorn · July 2014

It just happened again. I have absolutely no idea what may cause this but it sure got me out of Cyrodiil. I lived through the FPS issue fighting enemies ranging from 4 to 5 FPS but now I cant even fight back.

Everything seems ok. I charge ( Toppling Charge ), spell bar greys out, spells do not react and cant even swing weapon. I wouldnt call this out if I thought there was a problem on my side but since the game is fine all the time until I engage combat with enemies in PvP Id say the problem is not on my side but rather somewhere in the game.

Have to check if it applies to PvE too.

Hello there, @Shadowhorn‌. Do you have any add-ons currently installed? If so, please try disabling them and seeing if this resolves it.

Shadowhorn · July 2014

I only use(d) SoftCapInfo and HarvestMap and both have been disabled since 1.2.3 patch hit since they went out of date. I am going to try one more fight simply because I like to PvP. Lets see how that goes.

Sori men dident notic it mai bi that spellz.

Shadowhorn · July 2014

Played around a little and took two screenshots.

No idea what causes it. Sometimes it just greys out and you cant do anything which most of the time means you die. Wanted to test some more but then 5 FPS again so I just turned off the game.

You are right, they appear to be nuclear hardened cockroaches with advanced intelligence. Every effort ZoS makes to eradicate them results in an increase in population.

Happened to a lvl 24 toon of mine in PvE last night as well. Took several unnecessary dirt naps.

you either got hit by negate magic
or your character is locked in sprint mode which disable all your skills, you have to sprint again to unlock it.

Neither is the case. I rarely sprint in PvP I prefer sneaky approach. Only sprint may be to run and hide not really to charge into people. Negate magic? It happened like 6 times this morning then I simply turned off the game. As you can see on one of the screenshots im 1v1 a nightblade so.... what negate magic?

olsborg · July 2014

Ive had that happen to me sometimes after a death...what fixes it is dodging or blocking. Not saying its the same thing that happens to me, but the ability bar is greyed out etc.

ArconSeptim · July 2014

How they do not understand(probably someone does I feel really proud on those 2.5%) that PvP or PvE in combat is not curently playable as it Should be with min 35 40 fps and more . Now you get no matter which settings you use below 30 below 20 and finally below 5 fps and those three change every few secs. In addition to that your animation desync from sounds and your poor fingers pushing buttons 1 2 3 4 5 R nothing is really SO SMOOTH AS YOU PROMISED!

Yep ...

Plus if ZoS had a useable quickslot system - I probably would not use any combat addons.

Yes, and this has happened to me - last time was after the previous patch.

This happens to me alot when I use volcanic rune and grand healing. Really any spell that allows you to set an AOE ring before firing it off.

If you get hit or do something else while the circle is on the ground, but before you cast the spell your bar gets greyed out and you can't move.

I can repeat this 100% of the time with volcanic rune, 50% of the time with grand healing and 20% of the time with shield charge for some strange reason. Not sure about shield charge, but it does it too if you cancel the skill by blocking.

EDIT* If you get no-move but not greyed out, you can re-cast the spell and it will unbug you.

Hmm, for me it was Toppling Charge probably but not sure. Its not like the enemy players will let me test it lol.

I've been experiencing this one since the last update, as well as no notices of quest progress, achievements, skill leveling, world bosses, you get the idea.

Well, my lack of notices was cleared up by disabling add-ons. However, I did a re-spec on my char at VR1 and gave it a new skill tree, so I don't know if that fixed the position lock until next rune cast (that's the one that 'unlocked' mine).

@Shadowhorn‌

Yesh

TOPPLING CHARGE I
Cast Time Instant
Target Enemy
Range 22 meters
Cost 46 Magicka
Charge to target and stun for 1.5 seconds. Casting targets are set off balance for 5 seconds. Deals 20 Magic Damage.
New Effect:
Always stuns and casting targets are set off balance.

Very similar to shield charge. If you get interrupted or interrupt this yourself you will bug out. my experience with shield charge is about a 20% chance.
