After update all chests are bugged:(

7gonago7nrb19_ESO · August 2014

After today's updating, it is impossible to hack any chest! During breaking in attempt to record one "doggies" of the lock it instead of fixing or breaks a master key, or in 98% simply on simply jumps aside at once in initial position. And it is so absolute with all chests.
For the sake of check I broke on a "simple" chest of 30 master keys (!) and so I didn't open it...

Works just as before the patch for me, i opened at least 20 chests since the patch, no problem and no change in behavior that i can tell ...

Sadae · August 2014

Besides the fact I can't understand what the OP is saying, chests are still working fine for me.

Purchase · August 2014

The actual pick of the lock seems to behave the same but now I break picks on simple locks.

Mix · August 2014

Lockpicking seems the same as pre-patch to me as well. Plenty of chests to open on Khenarthi's Roost where I am leveling!

I'm having the same issue on the NA server, it seems to be due to increased lag for me.

It's not actually bugged, it's just that lag seems much worse since the update. Either the pins do not move smoothly so I cannot see when to release them, or sometimes it's actually rubber-banding me mid attempt.

I also had this issue last night when playing for the first time after the patch. I only tried one simple chest in VR stormhaven and it was near impossible to open. I broke about 10 picks to eventually get it open. I'd be happy for an increased chest opening difficulty..just not sure if it was intended..

opened a few since the patch and nothing seem to be different for me also...

WTH did I just read? O.o

"Hacking" chests? Master keys? DOGGIES?

It doesn't even sound like you are describing the right game.

However, as others have said, I noticed no change whatsoever to lockpicking and treasure chests in this patch. They are still working perfectly fine without issue.

Nothing has changed for me with chests, Iam able to open simple to master without any picks breaking.

LOL @AlienDiplomat. If you can't read this how do you call yourself an Alien Diplomat? I would think speaking the language would be essential in this job.

I think what @7gonago7nrb19_ESO is saying is...
After today's update, it is impossible to unlock any chests! While attempting to pick a lock the tumblers "dodge" the locking position instead of fixing it into place and it breaks the lockpick, or in about 98% of attempts it simply jumps past the position after you release the lockpick. And this happens with all chests.
For the sake of testing I broke 30 lockpicks (!) on a "simple" chest and wasn't able to open it...

There are multiple posts about this patch, lag and lockpicking. Some people are getting lag spikes/latency while picking a lock and the tumblers are not responding when releasing the mouse button. It makes it look as if the tumblers are continuing to lower out of position on their own and breaking lockpicks.

Nidwin · August 2014

I had no issues with unlocking chests. Everything worked fine for me and for multiple zones. (simple up to advanced ones)

EU player on the NA server

7gonago7nrb19_ESO · August 2014

Very probably on a strong lag. It is necessary to press the button "to lock" lock "doggie" much more in advance than it is shown visually: (On another not to open a chest at all.
Anyway lags amplified with moving "pseudo Euro the server" to Europe. And is even stronger after the last patch.
And the strangest that in fight and as a whole during travel on the world of any delays and lags isn't observed. They are only when opening chests.

AlnilamE · August 2014

While I have noticed breaking more lockpicks, I don't find the chests to be more difficult, but other people in my guild have made that comment.

Maybe it's because English is not my first language, but i had no problem understanding what the OP was trying to say ...

Read the forum name too.... whaaat? Is this a bot complaining it can't bot?

ChuckyPayne · August 2014

I have issues with unlocking chests and my wife too. (EU server). Almost impossible to unlock. When u use the lockpick the spring is shrinking, and after, the spring is vibrate but when u press the button it is too late, or the spring doesn't vibrate. if you miss, you can start over again, but now first you release all mouse buttons before start again because nothing happens.

Moonshadow66 · August 2014

I can confirm this, too.
Usually I have no problems to open any kind of chest, but after the patch, the lockpicks tend to break one after the other.
Also, the available time for opening a chest seems to be way shorter, and it takes much longer until you can try again (although I could be wrong there since I rarely have to try again).

SkoomaBandit · August 2014

I open every chest I can find, and will even farm known chests. I don't see any difference. I go through about 10 picks a day, but I still always keep over 90 in my inventory, so I don't see a difference at all.

I have heard that people who use right click to lock the tumbler in place are having issue doing this now. I never learned that method, I just press down with left mouse till the tumbler jiggles, and starts to make the nose, then release my left mouse button. It's really easy once you get the hang of it. Even master locks are really easy for me.
