BUG OR NOT?? Phoenix Set - Not Dying - FTC.

Crogster · September 2015

So with the Name Phoenix I naturally tried the Phoenix Set. I read recently on the forums that V16 Phoenix Sets was bugged and as I have never and will never play with Exploits I made a Phoenix Set but not all V16 to avoid this.

Today I should have died in a Battle a few times but instead I stayed on zero life and then I came back to life with lots of health (Like the Phoenix Set) . So i think to myself I must change my set and report this to ZOS thats its not just V15 but then a friend of mine is fighting not in a Phoenix Set and this same bug happened. The strangest thing is, we were a group of 3 and for one of the players they did not die. We are all using FTC so is this a Addon error not a game error ?

What does everyone think?

And I Am truly sorry to the EP on Azuras EU tonight.

This is a troll post right?

(2 items) Adds Max Magicka
(3 items) Adds Magicka Recovery
(4 items) Adds Spell Damage
(5 items) When you die, you instead turn to stone for 3 seconds and are immune to all negative effects but cannot be healed.
When the effect ends you heal yourself and explode for 4838 Flame Damage to nearby enemies. The effect has a cool down of 10 minutes.

No no troll post :P. You misunderstand. This is not activating the the Phoenix Call down. the Flame damage is not happening and it is all happening in one fight. So i didnt die 3 or 4 times in 1 minute to 20 reds

I do not think an addon could cause a bug like that

Kobaal · September 2015

Its a bug, they already know about it. They said so in another post.

Crogster · September 2015

I have read the posts but one player showed us with health and still receiving healing during this time but on two of the players it showed dead and then with 2/3 health.

Iyas · September 2015

Its still ig

Master_Kas · September 2015

It's a bug. Just happened to me

Was on my sorc, fighting another sorc.

Got him 4 times to 0 health (on my screen) without him doing the phoenix animation. It was like single target skills didn't hit him, he had no shields up and was CC:ed on the ground.

5th time he did the phoenix animation/explosion and he died shortly after.

So I think its a bug with this set.

Are you referring to when FTC health bars say "DEAD" but you're still fighting? If so, I believe that is just a syncing issue where the addon believes you've taken enough damage to die, but the game hasn't declared you dead yet.

Cinnamon_Spider · September 2015

I fought someone tonight with this set and he showed as having 1 health point left and he would not die to my beam. The set did not actually proc. He even seemed to regen health a bit (went from 1 to 400 something) while I was beaming him and then he evetually died to NPCs.

Kova · September 2015

Chiming in here. Fought multiple people with this set on. Same thing happens as describe above: Player gets to low health and no abilities cause damage or, in my case with endless fury, are activated. I have a video of these times, will post when I get out of this horrible job place.

ZOS knows about the Phoenix Set bug.
They are "working on it".
It's not an exploit if its bugged, as you are not creating a mechanism to cheat the game.

Yes it says dead on FTC so is this desync and then I have bugged set on top? God Damn it!!

From what i can tell it is only single targets so you can still kill them with AOE. I will let you all know if the bug is still there after todays patch.

Guess its the animation/fire damage that has the 10min cooldown, not the healing.

Yes maybe but only to Single target not AOE.....

Anyone want to take bets on how long this will be left in the game to be exploited at will?

Im guessing about a month. Will be patched mid October.

Docmandu · September 2015

You know the mantra... Exploit early, exploit often!

Don't worry, ZOS will fix this in patch 66.6 .. ie. the patch before the one where they fix the in-combat bug.

Yesterday I fought four Templars using that set.
As if it's not enough that it already takes ages to kill one of them..

I bet 3 months.

I bet 3 months as well. How long did it take them to fix nirnhoned, double mundus stones and etc? Riight..

I don't use phoenix set and I've been unkillable more than once. I'm not sure it's the phoenix set that's causing it.

Really, man? That is your opinion? I have no words...

sKorcheD · September 2015

ZoS is working on it. In other words, it'll be patched fully sometime in Jan 2016.

Kupoking · September 2015

And some youtubers are at it. I saw a notorious youtuber use it yesterday in IC. That guy switched from stam of magika and found it wierd.

Oh well, another one who will collect fame off broken mechanics and will edit videos to hide it.

Huckdabuck · September 2015

Just a side note as I've been running the set (V16 gold) since day 4 of the IC drop.......

My set has done the "can't die bug" a couple of times but I have actually died more than I can count due to the set not proc'ing when it's NOT on cooldown. I've noticed that in PvP is where I have the most problems with the set proc'ing/not proc'ing compared to PvE dungeons (it properly procs when off cooldown). Just wonky set being wonky?
