Sorc's Power/energy Overload Light attacks
remilafo
✭✭✭✭
Bug report:
The light attacks of power/energy overload of sorc's ultimate are getting stuck. To clear it deactivating ultimate and then re-activating it works but this hang-up needs to be investigated.
You can cause the hang-up by doing this...
1. Initiating a light attack on a target (with your crosshairs on that target) and moving the cross-hairs off the target before the light attack animation completes. The animation locks up because it seems the game engine can't decide if it was a "hit" or a "miss" , or perhaps shooting at a target vs shooting at nothing.
2. Alternative method.... Casting a spell mid-animation before the light attack leaves the players hands. Similar to Light/medium weaving except with the ultimate. NOTE this method is more inconsistent...
Please investigate this animation issue so that my sorc's ultimate doesn't get stuck.

Peel_Ya_Cap_517✭✭✭✭Yes, I love this Ultimate but it has so many, many problems..
Another issue is, when you activate Overload, it reverts your skill bar back to some old set up, with different abilities.
I know you can activate hands, rearrange your skillbar, but man.. it can be annoying if you forget and bolt into a group of enemies while trying to press crystal frags lolN64 NA EP0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I've also had this happen with increased frequency. When it sticks, I can't light attack OR use any other skills. Please fix ASAP.0 -
remilafo✭✭✭✭Bump..... can we get an ETA on fixing this..
You've bother to address the traps bug, common get to this..1 -
Rapthorne✭✭this happens a lot to my girlfriend when she uses her overload skill, attempting to use lots of light attacks in quick succession instead makes the game to a continuous heavy attack, which really isn't ideal0 -
Gerardopg✭✭✭Yeah the same for me rapid light attacks make the overload glitch and put heavy attack then you have to block to start again, for me this start In June when the game came out0 -
Fissh✭✭✭✭✭This has been this way for months. Maybe all the back to 1.6, but I can't be sure. I am sure I though that as far back as July it has been this way.
In other words, don't expect a fix next patch.<X-Raided>0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I just necro'd another thread on the same topic before I saw this one... but yes, this is STILL a problem and needs to be fixed. I will have to keep the 'block' in mind for next time it gets stuck, but clearly this needs to be fixed because an ability that replaces your weapon and then gets 'stuck' preventing you from attacking is definitely a HUGE problem.CP: 2078 ** ESO+ 2025 Content Pass ** ~~ ***** Strictly a solo PvE quester *****

WitchyWarrior✭✭✭✭I have been playing as a Sorc for over a year now and Overload has never worked properly for me. It's exactly like you said, the light attacks get stuck. I just figured it was a L2P issue on my end and just never used it again after trying it a few times.
I love the concept but I hate just standing there looking like an idiot with glowing hands doing nothing.
Please fix it!0
