Update 50 is now available for testing on the PTS! You can read the latest patch notes here: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/categories/pts
Maintenance for the week of April 20:
• NA megaservers for patch maintenance – April 20, 3:00AM EDT (7:00 UTC) - 12:00PM EDT (16:00 UTC)
• EU megaservers for patch maintenance – April 20, 7:00 UTC (3:00AM EDT) - 17:00 UTC (12:00PM EDT)

Is This Really True?

1. Nirnhoned weapons in Cyrodil ignore all spell resist and armor.
2. People told ZOS about this in PTS.
3. ZOS let 1.6 go live without a fix.
4. It's still not fixed,

If the above are correct (and maybe I am wrong), this would be a damning indictment of management. Hope I am wrong . . . .

    It will be fixed in the next incremental patch. Not as big of a deal as people make of it.

    If that's true, I've seen no evidence of it. I have nirnhoned weapons myself and they don't seem to be doing any more damage than 2h swords.

    LOL I will assume that since you asked this question you are either

    a) trying to be funny

    or

    b) new here.

    Of course it is true. There are a number of bugs that ZOS was told about during the PTS that made it to live.

    What? There where bug reports and forum posts about it on the PTS thread and it wasn't "important" enough to fix prior to live and it isn't a big deal?

    Possibly a fix was applied, it just didn't work. But deadlines force them to push the update out anyways. Hopefully they can patch it on live. Nothing new, it's been like this since beta.

    Just because a bug is known doesn't mean it is easy to fix. Their entire spell penetration logic is one confusing mess. In the big scheme of things there were more important bugs to fix for them for the launch to go smoothly.

    And truer words were never again uttered on the forums. :) This is a pretty tame one compared to some of them. For the record, I would vastly prefer they hold back an update to get big issues like these fixed instead of letting them loose. Major known bugs like these shouldn't be pushed out to the live servers under any circumstances, in reality.

    Exploits suck. Don't blame just the game, blame the players abusing them!

    There were threads about this on the PTS forums... and it was reported, discussed and so on.

    This is not the only bug like this, but i won`t post the others here... anyway ZOS never really cared about bugs that are not VISUALLY disturbing as they assumed(correctly) that most people won`t notice them. So they let them pass to live and fix them eventually(last penetration bug took months to be fixed)

    Truth is they don`t care or don`t play enough to know why this should be fixed especially in PvP.

    Quality control needs so much improvement here . Deadlines should never supersede quality control . They will learn this lesson on console as all their updates will have to go through a third party's scrutiny inspection now . PC needs a company that over sights like console .

    This type of thing happens in all MMOs. I think it is weird that reported bugs make it to live,, but it is typical and not damning.

    Well, this reminds of the beta test before release. Did they do anything about the bugs reported in beta? NOPE! If they did I'm unaware of it. >..> I think they beta test with no plans of addressing issues prior to release of new content/so called updates. Their attitude is fu** it, we will handle it later MAYBE......So they add new bugs with updates/content and its anybodies guess when or even if their gunna fix them.
