I just want my play experience to not be a buggy mess after an update. I'd bet a lot of people feel the same way.

oh, and I also want things that are supposed to be fixed to actually be fixed when I test them. I can't trust the patch notes and that frustrates me.

Postern doors still bug.

Most of the time you simply can't believe the patch notes. I still have weapon swap delay. I still get broken postern doors.

Then there are actual bug fixes that they fix without even listing them in the patch notes. Thank god they finally fixed the bug where Mages Fury explosions would be reflected back on you when a DK had reflective scales up. There was nothing more infuriating than to have to kill a DK under 20% HPs with heavy attacks and curse due to that.

the postern door bug was fixed with the update from what i understand.

its only been 2 days, but i havent seen it still around. screenshots plz

Hey dude Posterns are bugging alot.

Actually for me if I am in the area when a postern house is repaired it seems to be bugged out for me, don't know if that is related to it.

u mean the aoe dmg would get reflected too?

Yes.

Although after thinking about this maybe they didn't fix it. I switched my morphs after the patch from the one that returned mana back on kill to the one that increases the AOE damage.

They apparently originally "fixed" the mana return version ages ago which had always worked for me and ironically then broke it. Then when they finally "fixed" it back to how it was originally working the DK reflective scales started reflecting the AOE back on me.

I've had other DKs tell me now that none of the mages wrath is being reflected again though so I'm inclined to think it is fixed for both versions now.

Well I take that all back.

After today's "Hotfix" mages wrath is now bugged yet again and the explosion is now being reflected by reflective scales again. I don't understand @ZOS_JessicaFolsom and @ZOS_BrianWheeler how every time you "patch" the game you break more things than you fix. You actually fixed a bug for once and a day later it is broken with a hotfix that was aimed at fixing guilds?

This is pretty frustrating.

The last game that saw a greatly decreased TTK like this was SWTOR with the 1.2 patch and it turned PVP into a pure frag fest. Even fully defense specced tanks died in just a few seconds. No one could heal through it. Everything became an alpha strike slugfest, seeing who could blow people out of their boots the fastest.

ESO already has enough alpha strike issues with ulti drops, but this is making it ridiculous. I want some level of tactical combat, not insta gib messes that go to the biggest zerg.

I was actually sort of enjoying SWTOR until 1.2 patch. That patch ruined the game for me. Was stupid.

guild bug which like you say, is fixed thus doesnt count.

No, it clearly counts. Managing to actually fix a bug (that they, yet again, introduced into live) for a change does not suddenly mean it doesn't count. What an utterly comical suggestion that it doesn't.

Lowbei wrote: »

so it seems you failed to list any new bugs (other than unverified door issue?) and certainly not as many as the fixes, so perhaps you should stop with the whining.

...so lets see other than the door issue which you apparently haven't heard of (lol so it's unverified because you alone haven't heard of it yet?), stamina and magicka regen stalling, weapon attacks building up damage and then releasing it in one go (you know, the topic of the thread you're in) creating instant death kills, Vampires getting stuck in invisibility after using batswarm, weapon swapping not displaying the right weapon (sometimes even a weapon you don't have equipped), Night Silence loses its bonus and requires re-logging to fix...

I could go on, this is boring now.

Macroing = insta-death.

I'm thinking hacking/scripting. My experience last night:

• Vampires are now rampant, they are back to their broken state: they can easily kill everyone around them in 2-3 seconds. The obvious solution is silver leash - using it made me notice that these players either instantly recover from stun or, presumably out of stamina, continue to move around and attack while lying stunned on the ground.
• Multiple heavy attacks in less than 1 second (usually 3). From the same player. Charging a single heavy attack usually takes more than 1 second.
• Back to the vampires. A guildie experimented and was able to permanently sustain bat swarm, dealing 500 sustained DPS over 12 minutes (previous emperor buff and passive granting ulti from player kills). Vamp swarms aren't always showing in the death summary even though I know it's what killed me so fast.
• Soul Siphon. 500 DPS to a single target. I find it hilarious how to community complains about a nightblade skill but the vampire 500 AOE DPS is not a problem.
• Magma Shield. 3200 damage in one tick. Again, I don't see anyone complaining about this. Bugs like this are A-OK if they only give DK/Vamps an advantage.
• Stunlock is back with a vengeance. If you are not "magically" instantly recovering from every stun (or ignoring them while you are faceplanted) you are practically permanently disabled. Stun break, immediately hit with crystal fragments, immediately stunned, repeat.
• Stamina is wildly inconsistent. I'm either going out-of-stamina after one or two ability uses or practically never running out depending on the fight.

Don't forget Soul Tether. And the fact that Bows are broken as hell.

1 point I'd like to make..

Magma Shield's dmg is indeed a bug they said they fixed but haven't. Who the hell said it's a-ok though? Seems like you have an agenda here because every NB issue you mention, you also mention sth about DK or Vamps in the same breath. It's not a frigging contest over what is more broken!!! I've got a v12 DK and I've filed multiple reports about the magma armor damage, it's definitely not a-frikken-ok...

I dunno what changed to the game mechanics, but the 200 magicka more (compared to pre-1.3 patch) does not justify why my attacks are now doing a helluva lot more dmg. My Sorc's Streak + Bat Swarm damage is indeed much higher than before and I don't think that's healthy at all.

I mostly agree with your post, it's the sense of bias I get that peeves me.

Edit: I take issue with ultie generation in this game. People shouldn't be able to have access to ulties so often in PvP, let alone be able to chain ulties one after the other. It's just not healthy for the game, it decreases the TTK too much. I think all ultie base costs should double for PvP (only) and also have a 10 sec cool-down starting from the second the last cast finished (both PvE and PvP). That's my 2c

Yeah, sorry. Just been a lot of QQ about the NB ulti on the forums, and relatively little about the vamps. Not saying it's everyone; but people generally only complain if it's not to their advantage.

The whole ulti system needs to be reworked. It's supposed to be an ulti - not a dime-a-dozen skill. AOE abilities should only generate ulti off of 1 - 2 of the targets that they hit, ultis should not generate ulti at all.

Soul Siphon (bugged NB ulti) is recuperating 45% of its cost from the damage it does.

Ninja edited my post to remove the QQ.

As a fellow NB I have gotten the bow glitch where the animation is wrong, gotten the one where attacking enemy players and npc do not show health going down, tried soul tether but was always in large battles so not sure how OP it is compared to other Utlimate yet. As for being able to stunlock with no problems, I am not seeing that one. Most of the time lastnight when I did ambush/cloak/ whatever attack the people were usually on the run before I could get that 3 combo off. Just letting the moderators know I guess that the same classes are not seeing the exact same bugs.

There are many issues with the bow at the moment. Which is not helping the archers or their targets to be honest. Animations bugging, damage not registering...just a total mess.

Soul Tether aside, which had been reported in PTS but ZOS did nothing, none of the other issues are NB specific. The unbreakable stun is another bug and DKs and Sorcs can pull it off as often as NBs. Nobody benefits from crap like that, it just makes all the players more angry.

Anyhow, let's hope that some fixes are on the way for the bow and the crashes first of all. The damage scaling of the ulties needs some serious looking into if we don't want fights to be dictated just by who gets an ultie off first, as opposed to combat skill.

Nothing else needs to be said. This guy hit the nail on the head.

upfront burst damage in this game was already quite ridiculous (e.g. NB stealth burst). Just another flaw of this crappy resource system without cooldowns in addition to sneak openers being crits.

Nothing about a burst nightblade was ridiculous. Just throw up block and cast either Dragons Blood, Bolt Escape, or Heals. Any class could survive a NB ambush if they were fully paying attention. Casting spells while blocking should be removed from the game.

It's the thing that having the opener with the stealth mechanics in this game 90% of the time decides if win or lose. This is true with every class, NB is just an example because they can abuse this to perfection. How often do you win an encounter when you get hit by 900 lethal arrow, 250 aa + 500 whatever from somewhere as you get dismounted and stunned on top of it.

A guy on a meatbag sieging at a basically no contest fort died with no one in sight. He was there one second full health right next to me and then just burst into flames and dropped dead. No lag, saw no enemies, no incoming siege circles. Everyone around was just kinda scratching their heads.
