Yep it just happened again. This time I noticed I got the message 'Cannot log out while engaged in combat', some more weirdness to add. Yes I'd like to get a ZOS acknowledge on this. Maybe it's not affecting enough people for them to respond?

And yes.

Same here.

Archery is not registering any damage but is dealing it.

Bow is seriously bugged, as the target health bar does not show the damage inflicted.

In PvP, you can fire 3-4 snipe attacks at an enemy and enemy won't recognize this till its health drom from 100% to 0% instantly.

I was having this problem as well, but I think I found a fix. I refunded my skill points to get some of my ill use points. After I re-spent them and tested to see if the skills worked well together. When I attacked an enemy it registered the damage like normal. I also noticed the the arrow was actually being shot. Every bow skill I use is working normal and light and heavy attacks are working as it should. I tested every non morphed skill. I also tested these morphs:Magnum shot, Bombard, and Focused aim. Hope this works for you guys!

Note: As I was typing this out I went back in game to see if this was still working. I shot randomly, and saw that the arrow wasn't being shot. I then took a wayshrine to a near by mob location and shot randomly again and my saw my arrow was back. Damage is still being registered so long as an arrow is seen.

Update:I re-logged to see if the fix would still work and it seems to be working fine.

My bow is dead

Well this is a start at least. They seem to fix most issues on this list, hopefully its coming soon

Just got into the game after patching 1.3. I hit an enemy with the Snipe ability and it seemed to do no damage. FTC registered damage in the fly text, but the enemy health bar wasn't even phased. Also tried poison arrow, draining shot, light/heavy attack, and none of them seemed to be dealing damage to the mob. Then, suddenly its health bar went from full to dead. Is there some disconnect between me and the server? Maybe lag, but everything seems smooth on my end. No ability/movement delay. It just seems that the server is taking longer to register what I input into the game.


I should also mention, this doesn't happen with my DW setup, only with bow. I also just noticed, If I unload with everything I have like normal (Snipe, Poison Arrow spam) the mob will just stand there and I'll get the 'you can't do that sound' and then the mob dies with a full health bar.

simple answer really,the bow has been discarded by zos in favor of the flame staff and sword/board.Its no suprise if you see the massive damage differences between these weapons.But jokes aside,i would like to see alot of bow abilities rewamped/strenchtened or buffed,snipe can stay as it is.

Exact same thing is happening to me also.
Very frustrating.
Poor form, please let your community know it's being looked into.

Same same

Same problem and its definitely not lag, my bow simply doesn't do any damage at all...

Oh no... the bow does definitely do damage. Just keep plucking away at it and eventually they'll just drop.

It really sucks in PvP, as we don't even see being hit by a bow, and I've started using one at times now that I can swap weapons (Sorry!; I want my Bow mage! Need to use the bow to get better at it right?), so we'll go from high health to dead w/o even knowing we're being hit.

So hopefully the patch today does help in this regard.

-M

Heads up!
It seems that the damage meter and swapping were fixed, but there was one more problem that's still rearing its ugly head: If you play long enough with the bow, eventually you lose the arrow animation, and it looks like nothing is being fired from the bow!
I believe, from the short time I played today, that this only occurs on the light and heavy attacks, and not on the skill-based attacks like poison arrow.
Please keep an eye out for this and post if you notice this happening to you.

I have no arrow animation right from the start, and i was just wondering... was it that way before the patch... then you don't have arrow in your bow at to shoot

Yes it was like that for me, no arrow animation when the bow/ health bars were messing up. Is the damage registering on the mob?

Last night I got sort of the same thing. Damage would register, and the sound would of the arrow flying would be good, but for animation all I would get is a little 'puff' of green as it fired (i use Lethal Arrow). Also, Draining Shot seemed like it had a little lag when knocking the enemy back (that could've been regular lag I think).
