Fun with the crazy damage scalating (bug)

✭Everytime ZoS takes a step forward in one aspect...its two steps back in another.Force weapon swap to have priority over EVERYTHING. Close enough.
Make stamina builds even with magicka builds.
Disable abilities while holding block.
Give us a REASON to do dungeons more than once.
Remove PVP AoE CAP. It is ruining Cyrodiil.
Fix/Remove Forward Camps. They are ruining Cyrodiil.
Impenetrability needs to REDUCE CRIT DAMAGE. Not negate entire builds.

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!!!"

Thanks.
You have no idea what you are talking about and you should not be giving advice.
Just because you haven't figured out how to abuse this accidentally, it doesn't mean that hundreds of other people don't know how to abuse this intentionally.2 -

He intentionally killed several dozen people in the video, who had no chance of fighting back, with full knowledge that a bug was causing his damage to be 10x higher than usual, which according to *him* was knowingly causing other players grief while calling it "fun" in his thread title.
If you don't think that is abusing an exploit, then, to you, nothing must be.
He should not use it, even if that means not playing PvP. Then he should go to ZoS and ask for some kind of personal restitution if he wishes. That is what a responsible adult would do.

GnatB✭✭✭✭1. Using it *is* an exploit.
2. If he doesn't log out when he sees it happening he is risking being banned.
3. His best option would probably be to start removing skills from his bar to try to narrow down which one(s) are causing the problem, and then to avoid using them until it's fixed (and send that information on to ZoS). Buffs are probably the first place to look.
4. Failing that, it may be a good time to try rolling an alt.Achievements Suck4 -

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.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vH55uvqlVIU
Also I suppose that i am not the only one with this bug, but i didn't see this commented anywhere.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.
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 in the video, but was very fun
If only there was a skill, that increased your weapon power.. and increases it even more every 2 seconds. dam.Edited by zScars on August 6, 2014 8:18PMFounder of Incognito Merchants.

gendarkb16_ESO✭✭✭If only there was a skill, that increased your weapon power.. and increases it even more every 2 seconds. dam.
If you read the post or watch the video... i said it was all my damage... magic skills like crystal shards, daedric mines, streak, even siege weapons, how is that related to weapon power ?
As a side note it happens to me random not always (just had it 3 times in the 4-5h that I played today) and i always relog when find i start to have the bug and my damage is increasing, but i right now there is a +30 minutes or more queue to re-enter my campaign... so time to go to bed.

Kvasir Silverpaw✭✭✭So what you are saying is you recorded yourself using an exploit and posted it on the forums.
yes he did. one of the few honest people around. now maybe it'll get some major effing attention by zos staff to fix it. shame on you for making him sound bad. you must either be one enjoying the bug and pissed he told about it..or just an old fashioned troll, either way poo poo on you!

Troponin✭✭✭Some of you folks are ridiculous. The only way he can realy avoid it is to just not play or change around his build. I don't see this as exploiting because he didn't and isn't going out of his way to do it. Give the guy a break.5

✭✭✭✭✭*sigh* what a state this game is in when a player can openly post six minutes of himself abusing a bug in PVP and ZOS don't care.
In regards to the question of should they log out every time they have the issue, yes they should. Sure it's annoying for them but this is video footage of bug abuse, not a simple one or two hits without realising, but six minutes of footage where it's clear they can see what's going on.@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver

I am sure the 30 people he one-shotted would disagree with you. They would probably agree that he, and others who have the bug should stop playing until it is fixed so they can at least still play in a fair manner.

A guy made video about a bug, reported it, put on forum so zeni can fix it. so fixing such bugs is nerf?
Silver bolts. It had a bug what caused to one shot vamps 100% of the time, and you say they nerfed it so they dont getting one shotted?

Fact is many people pay subscription fees just to play PvP in this game. At the end of the day, if there is an exploit like this, there will be many players intentionally or unintentionally using it. And that's noones fault except Zenimax.

Super_Sonico✭✭✭✭Hey OP, what's the addon you're using for the damage stats in the bottom right of the screen?0 -
gendarkb16_ESO✭✭✭Good news
Finally after 4h-5h of extensive testing (killed lots of zombies in cyrodiil :P) and tested all my skills/gear/sets, I found what was causing the increased damage on all my skills / spells and was increasing the longer i fight.
i am 99.9% sure that narrowed what was causing the bug and i am able to reproduce it (of course, i am will not say "how to" here :P).
Already reported it to ZOS in-game and if any deb need to know more information just ask me by mail, fix it before its too late.
Just wanted to let you know that "in theory" ZOS should know how to fix it.
And now a funny screenshot :P
PD: of course now that i know how to reproduce it i will not do it, but if you get hit by a 2100-2300dmg wrecking blow from stealth and you are cloth user thats "normal" in this patch.
PD2: the addon is called Combat Log Statistics

I don't know, if I was getting that bug and had to log off every time and then wait 30 mins in a queue... I might just go have fun with it.

Game companies do, in fact, give credit and refunds all the time if the customer can show there is good reason. If you think this does not happen you are not delusional, you are simply wrong.
In terms of whose fault it is? Well the programming bug is Zenimaxs' fault of course. But at some point you have to take some personal responsibility for exploiting it don't you?
Unintentionally using it? Zenimaxs' fault.
Intentionally using it? Your fault.
If you were killed several times by the same guy exploiting the same bug over and over, you would honestly tell me you would in no way blame that player? Really?
But hey, I don't expect some people to understand. The idea of giving up their own playtime/playstlyle so they don't screw over other people probably seems pretty ludicrous. There's like, morals and standards involved. It's way easier to blame the other guy.

I understand both sides. It would suck to have to just not pvp at all because of a bug you can't control, but would also suck to be on the other end of that bug.
Maybe there's a creative way to keep playing though. Maybe just scout and burn siege weapons and run if people attack you :?.
Doesn't sound like as much fun if you can't even hit anybody though.Dear Sister, I do not spread rumors, I create them.0
