Bugs bugs and bugs evrywhere..

Ryuho · February 2015

During my few hrs of testing 1.6.3. in cyro i found several bugs..

1) Sounds bug - sometimes after few intense duels/battles u lose all of the sounds in game
2) Ultimate generation bug - after sounds are gone u won't generete ulti anymore (if u relog u will generate ulti again, but sounds still gone)
3) Bashing bug - after few weapon swaps (i am not sure it's casue weapon swap, but it seams so), your bash dmg are insane high (15k - 20k per bash), saw few players whos kept wpnswaping like crazy and then killed ppls with single bash
3) 2H bug - still insane dmg bug
4) Deadric mines bug - after using ice comet on mine field, ice comet snare debuff applies to mines, and if u replace them they still snare your opponent (like for 2 minutes) - happend twice to me
5) Wpnswap bug - sometimes u are stuck with ur main or off hand wpn for several seconds (after using skill with cast time or long animation - crystal/mines for me)
6) Mount bug - while riding u can't use map anymore, if u do, u are constantly moved back to place where u started to use it (pressed M button)

That's all for now.

I have to admit, this is the buggiest patch I have played on PTS

McDoogs · February 2015

No way they can release 1.6 by the end of february at this rate.

Seraphyel · February 2015

Another bug I noticed... every character I created and played had a bald head. Males, females, all of them. And no, in the creation they had hair but once I logged in, their hair vanished.

Previous updates sadly show they likely will.

WarrioroftheWind_ESO · February 2015

not sure if this is in the new build or not but one thing I noticed while sneaking around is my footsteps sounded REALLY loud. Like instead of 'tap tap tap tap' like I'm used to, it was "clop clop clop clop". Very obnoxious and immersion breaking. This is while wearing light armor mind you.

I want to give you a legitimate lol. But the option is gone. That's a weird but funny bug

stefan.gustavsonb16_ESO · February 2015

"Weird but funny" bugs still make the game look bad for new players and reviewers.
I hope for a rapid improvement. I still think ESO is a really good game beneath all the bugs and mismanagement issues.

Kragorn · February 2015

Whilst this may be amusing, seeing such bugs appear (and the one the patch notes mention about the character creation bugs) is very concerning: how can such horrible bugs with a 100% repro. bet into what are supposed to be the final builds of a game supposedly a week away from release?

Is it any wonder we saw bugfests with nearly every update since release (see the Patch Note collection since launch day to see this) if this sort of thing slips past QA; assuming there is any QA to speak of.

jamesharv2005ub17_ESO · February 2015

Im hoping you guys used the bug report tool right? Its hard to fix if people dont report it the proper way.

stefan.gustavsonb16_ESO · February 2015

I still report bugs in the game where I encounter them, but previous bug reports on the PTS were mostly ignored. In effect, the developers have trained their testers not to report bugs. Besides, when bugs are large, plentiful and game-breaking, there is really very little you can do except throw your hands in the air, say "BUGS" and stop playing on the PTS until the next patch.

The large bugs obscure the little ones. A general imbalance makes play testing a frustrating experience, not a fun test drive you can expect people to do for free. The current build is definitely not a final beta, even though they may still treat is as one and release 1.6 too soon. I hope they have fixed their release process, but frankly, it has been broken for a year, and it looks like a fundamental problem with skill, resources, structure and management, not something you fix overnight by a simple change of policy.

Alright here are the bugs I had in 3 hour gameplay last night :

1] my Dreugh king slayer shoulders were unequiped and became dreugh king slayer boots. I dunno how this happend it was the first thing i noticed that my character didn't have shoulders on and I was missing the bonus weapon dmg.

2]when applying evil hunter then removing it from skill window , then swap weapons the weapon on bar 1 appears on bar two with the 2nd weapon animation..so what I see for example is my toon holding 2 handler and shooting arrows.

3]sometimes sound disappear except from sound of camps and fire dunno why,all volume is set to max, reloging doesn't solve it, need to exit client completly.

4]when you try to teleport on map [pressing m and choose wayshrine] if you press E instead of clicking it will play the short animation for teleporting then cancel it automaticly without teleporting, this is not new..happend also in 1.6.1

5]I'm not sure if this is a bug or not..but chef shops have the same ingredients?

6]not sure if this is intended or not...Archer npc that use the skill TAKE AIM hits like a truck for 15k on full medium 10k on medium + shield :S does that make this skill hit harder than vet dungeon bosses :P ? btw the npc archers that killed me were in craglorn anka somthing.

7] weapon swapping still bugged and ruins gameplay completly .

8]for people who can't access haderus cause one of the their characters [which belong to enemy faction] have it set as home campaign, we try to use group que, the que works but the game crashes in the first couple of tries. dunno why happend to me alot.

They can, but they shouldn't. 1.6 is almost unplayable.

Dracane · February 2015

It is very buggy unfortunately.
I get shield bashed for over 40k damage and 2 handed damage is still very high.

The worst bug in my opinion, is that blocking with a shield mitigates damage to 0. You receive 0 damage when you block with a shield and it does not seem to cost stamina.

Alcast · February 2015

ALL the PvP testing is U S E L E S S due to the 3,6k CP. Do not even bother to try testing stuff atm.

And ye, Bugs literally everywhere

I think. the 3.6k CP thing makes stamina builds so extremely strong. 90% of the people I have seen yesterday, run medium armor and 2 handed sword, the other 8% sword and shield and 2% magic. (okay, this comparison could be a bit wrong, but it's very obvious)

That's not new. Archers in Craglorn will one-hit you with Taking Aim in 1.5 already, hitting for up to 3k damage

But I think it's fair and makes combat more interesting. They first will announce their skill-use by saying "Taking Aim" then they will charge for about 10 seconds with an orange/red glow. If you don't interrupt them for the full duration and don't dodge roll or reflect the arrow, you are dead

Durham · February 2015

Two handers should do the most damage ... They take the most risk + plus the slowest attack rates...Yes I know the damage is over the top (bugs) right now but two hander DPs needed a boost from live servers. Block casting in this game is still king don't fool yourself.....imo

jamesharv2005ub17_ESO · February 2015

The whole two hander dmg thing is a bug they are fixing as we speak. again tho this is not the right place to report this stuff. If you want it fixed type /bug in game.

At least some things are intended, or at least already known. Not saying there are no bugs, but if it's announced in the Patch Notes, we should not report those "bugs" here or via /bug.

One big problem I have with it is the sheer randomness with which there's something in containers. I check various containers and there's something in them, then 5 minutes later without anyone else or me having touched them, all are empty. Or what was in there has changed to something else. I had an Urn that changed from Empty to having apples in them to having some Greaves of Magicka in them.

Outside Vulkhel Guard there's a Maormer invasion camp and South Beacon filled with goodies. Well, the containers are filled when you first trek through there, but chances are high that when you next go on a shopping spree, that all the containers are all of a sudden empty.
