Fun with the crazy damage scalating (bug)

Atreyu · August 2014

Zenimax, get your *** togheter please.

Lyrro · August 2014

I think I'd feel more let down if Zenimax didn't introduce a nice sized handful of bugs with each update. It's like that really ugly wart that you want to get removed, but after you spend some time standing on a dock staring, lost in thought, over the lake while listening to "Dust in the Wind" you realize that in some twisted metaphor, the wart defines you.

*Edit, guess I should post something related to the topic.

Even if he was using the bug to exploit in pvp, taking advantage of it in order to give his alliance the upper hand, he at least posted it in the forums and included a video. 99.9999% of players would've just said "sweet, I'm going to do this every time from now one", so I can easily overlook the fact that he enjoyed himself while he made the video.

For all intents and purposes, despite his honesty, he was definitely exploiting it at the time. He wasn't charitably lending his time toward producing this elucidative video, he was helping his alliance take the map. His zone chat seemed to reference it, actually directing the "imba people" around. It seems he wasn't the only one, but good on him for reporting it.

I guess when you get bugged like this, you should just log off and not play until the game is fixed, which could be 2029. But keep your subscription active!

This comment could be a whole thread in its self. So many disappointments from ESO/ZOS and they just keep on coming.......

I had a new bug in cyrodiil that the longer i play the more damage my abilities do, this bug just happens to be just before a crash to desktop (maybe a new memory leak bug or something with my skills setup).

I don't know how to reproduce it and it only happened to me 2 times today and always after a long session of pvp and also always this bug precedes a crash to desktop. I notice my skills start doing more damage than normal and it can last around 10-30 mins the damage goes scalating till the game crash. And btw the damage goes increasing with all damage skills (magica and stamina).

In the video the issue beings to be very OP at the minute 2:15 or so also you will see a 6000+ a 7000+ wrecking blows, 3000+ charges and also a nice caltrops at the end.

Also I suppose that i am not the only one with this bug, but i didn't see this commented anywhere.

PD: I don't know how to reproduce the bug so don't bother to ask.
PD2: I am sorry to all the people that suffered my charges/wrecking blows, but was very fun

HAhh nice. I can hear this: "OMG an NB hit me with over 4k damage" just because you ambushed em from hidden.

And you arent NB lol....
BTW this happend with a lover level friend of mine, in pve too.

Just if u see this happens, dont use it. relog or something, because you get reported and banned.

"just because it's currently allowing exploiting doesn't mean it's okay to do. "

so better stop

Dont want to defend em, so dont get me wrong, but i played 3 mmos, and all was like this.

new patch: fix a thing, broke other, some get OP crap. another patch: fix a thing, broke other, unplayable. never ending circle

OFC its unacceptable, at least they should work much much faster on a fix.

ItsRejectz · August 2014

it seems to be an issue with Critical damage. Watching your video and non crit hits seem normal, then when you crit its crazy high

crislevin · August 2014

lol, PvP failing all over the place........

Erock25 · August 2014

For the people telling him to not 'exploit' and log off .... yeah he is supposed to log off and get back in a 10min+ queue because of ZOS mistakes? [snip]

Yes but we dont want him to get banned because using that. Abusing this while he knows he should not ........ He killd like 20 ppl, and many will report + SS or record it, and he wont play anymore, and he wont have a queue.

No, it's a problem with base damage. I got hit by him with a 816 pt light attack. I have full heavy armor in soft cap. It's not just crit.

Zero_Tolerance · August 2014

That's the *** that was happening before the patch, and one ex-emp is apparently on 30 day 'holiday' for doing this. Maybe the 'how' was leaked out and more ppl are using it, maybe you just got unlucky, twice

gendarkb16_ESO · August 2014

update: It is happening also today. After lets say 15-25 minutes of playing all my damage starts increasing. Its not only crits or stamina skills, its all my damage including magic skills and siege weapons too.

I try to relog once it starts to get really op 1500+ charges or so, but right now the queue to join pvp its starting to get serius so i can not do 10 mins of queue and then 5-10m more of playing and then having to relog again "just in case", by tonight the queues will be long.

I am really sure i am not the only one with this bug, so don't kill the messenger :P

PD: also i don't know why i should feel bad when "ejem" there are tons and tons of people insta killing me with other stuff like bow issues, animation canceling, invasion perma stun, op skills like bats or other stuff.

Tremulous · August 2014

I feel like you're one of those 2 star boss mobs that one shots people with over head strike.

+1 for posting this video it should help the dev's find a fix.

cf398ub17_ESO · August 2014

very cool but ill i could think was how smooth your game was running in pvp

ZOS_GinaBruno · August 2014

Hey folks, thanks for all the helpful information. We're aware of this issue and are actively working on a fix that we'll roll out as soon as we can.

Smajestic · August 2014

Simply, please Zenimax, after the correction of theses bugs, reset all campagn, and make new one.

zazamalek · August 2014

Despite the bug I must say I love your playstyle and setup. That charge + blink is an incredibly impressive combination.

My main vr12 Sorc is also a 2handed user like the one in the video.
I was pvping for well over 10 hrs since patch...and i HAVE NOT......I REPEAT.....HAVE NOT....experienced anything like this.
PLEASE don't nerf or 'temp fix" or TOUCH the 2 handed OR sorc lines because of this video.

This is not, i repeat NOT a wide spread/common bug.

By all means. Please investigate and fins out why it happened. But please don't just....."Umm theres a rotten apple on this tree....BURN THE FOREST TO THE GROUND NOW!!!"

Read this post 10 times, forward it 100 times to the guys who fix stuff. make sure it SINKS IN.

Thanks.

So what you are saying is you recorded yourself using an exploit and posted it on the forums.

I don't think playing the game normally counts as an exploit. In this case it seems the only way he could avoid doing it would be not to play.

Abusing a bug is an exploit. you and all know its not normal.
All cheater say the same: "it's in game so it is not an exploit." but it is and read my signature.

eventide03b14a_ESO · August 2014

@gendarkb16_ESO‌ do you use any assault passives? I wonder if it's a problem with continuous attack maybe where the duration is not expiring and it's just stacking the damage bonuses.

Badea · August 2014

There have been a lot of low level characters (meaning level 10-15) running around in Cyrodill doing incredible damage. Far more damage than I at V12 with Legendary gear can manage.
