Are you on PC or console?

I assume you're on console because almost every spell's visuals are bugged right now, though I think shooting star's visual effects have been bugged on the console since day 1.

Also while you're in Cyrodiil and you start to see normal spells and abilities lose their visuals, you have to close the whole game and log back in just to see them again, and I'm talking about spells like the visual ring of Purifying Ritual and Blazing Shield for example. The "hard-bugged" visuals stay there for good though, like Shooting Star.

These kind of visual/texture bugs have been with the console's version of the game since it was released and I don't even think ZOS know about it, since nobody has really brought it to light with a video or something.

All the bugs with no beams showing up (from Staff light/heavy attacks, Engine Guardian 'robot beam,' Radiant Destruction, Repentance etc) are/have been fixed but they won't be fixed for us live until the incremental patch this month.

Ok. Odd. This maintenance might fix it though

I'm having the same issue on PC. Don't see the meteor, but the cracks appear on the ground.

EU or US?

Out of interest, was this at SS rank 1? I had this problem, but it changed once it his rank 2.

It's part of the invisible beams bug that will be fixed in the next patch, unless they already did the patch and I wasn't aware lol in which case it should be fixed.

That issue is for console, not PC. I've noticed SS doing the same thing for me. It hits them, but the visual effect isn't there. The other morphs work fine, though.

I'm on PC, templar, using shooting star. Since the patch my toon does the animation but the ult itself does not. No ring (might be useful in pvp) and no other animations. I cast it and a few seconds later the mobs get knocked down. No sound effects either.

Hey guys is it just me or does shooting star make an invisible comet land on ur foes? Its like FTC registers the damage and i see stuff gt pwnt but i dont see any animation save the blueish cracks on the ground. Is it lag on my part or?

One of our guildies said the same thing yesterday in VWGT. It doesn't happen for him in non IC content though which is interesting. We are all PC NA Server.

I can confirm that shooting star animation is not showing (NA PC).

The only way you will know you're targeted by shooting star is by the ground effect animation and the fact that you're nearly dead.


Clearly bugged and being exploited.

Uhmm im on PC lol.

My buddies and I had the same issue. One of them said shooting star wasn't showing but ice comet was showing.

This happens on console for most skills:

Snipe/flare/meteor/funnel/jesus beam(s)/Crushing shock/frags/webs etc...

Pretty much anything the amount of times i've been killed by a meteor i can't see...

It looks like you may have already pinpointed the issue here already. SS was bugged for a very long time, doing exactly what you described. This was allegedly fixed a month or two ago, but it doesn't surprise me that there still be some lingering issues with the visuals not working properly. It may just be when it's at rank 1 when it's bugging out. I use shooting star on one of my characters that I just played yesterday and it functioned normally (it's at max rank on said toon).

Just on topic is the DOT bugged? On xb1 btw. I've been hit and it supposed to be each second damage but I've been Insta killed by one before recap said initial damage 8k then second attack was the same but the damage was 15k. I was the only person around and full health just in buffed. So I had around 23k health.

Bug or but down to some form of lag?

I just morphed to SS on Xbox and same thing, meteor worked but SS doesn't show except the rune on the floor..anyone know if ZOS have even accepted that as a problem? Or do we all need to log it.

had the same issue when i first morphed it to SS... get it to rank 2 and the issue will be gone... Dont know why but its rank 1 only that the animation issue is
