How temporary is the fix on volatile familiar?

This was a more damaging (and working as intended) alternative to volcanic rune in PvE content. Without it, I don't even feel like playing my sorcerer. So when is it going to get fixed? By Update 3, I hope?

    I wouldn't expect it any time soon. Probably not with update 3.
    Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?

    As temporary as the "fix" for quick siphon ult gain (going on 2 months now), and Cyrodiil mercenaries (going on 2 months). Most likely the same patch they fix Dark Cloak. So sometime between a few weeks and forever. ;)

    I must admit the "temp" fix is somewhat annoying. Certainly I can appreciate the attempt to mitigate a serious issue but if it does not blow up twice it is nothing less than a massive nerf.

    It is a great power despite so many players saying all pets suck. VF has always been a sweet skill if used correctly and a very unique ability offering interesting strategies.

    Hope this fix comes soon. I haven't played the game much recently for a few reasons but after reading this temporary fix in the patch notes it truly let the air out of my sails and did not help me want to play by any means.

    It'd be swell if it gets fixed before 22 August, because that's when my sub runs out. I'll just sink time into a stamina build character so I don't feel *as* broken.

    Ah do I love the "temp" fix and "working on it" statements..

    I have learned to simply read what is broken and expected to get updated, but not expect an ETA on any of it at this point. You are much less upset doing so.

    It's interesting that they reduced the damage as a temporary fix, but they failed to temporarily reduce the cost to cast the ability. I mean, we're basically getting screwed because of a glitch.

    Oh, are your complaints the only one with merit? forgive me for my insolence. It won't happen again. That's sarcasm by the way.

    Hm, no maintenance on the 28th. Hey, ZOS, can you email me when you fix this thing so I can come back to the game?

    Didn't see it in the 1.3 patch notes. I assume it's still broken?
