My favorite Orsinium bugs (so far)

ontheleftcoast · November 2015

1) Random lag > 10,000ms that leads to disconnects
2) After more than a dozen potency runes I still haven't found level 10 runes. (And, yes, I'm level 50 enchanting with 10/10 potency.)
3) Waiting half an hour to start the main quest because the Chief wouldn't spawn
4) Randomly falling thru floors and dying
5) Quest givers in impossible to reach locations - Bagrugbesh who gives the quest for stew meat and killing poachers is inside a wall in Skalar's Hostel. (Update - logging out/in reset her position to normal)
6) Despite standing directly on Morkuldin Forge it's still not "discovered"
7) Grouping tool no longer lets you group for WB encounters which now require groups to kill
8) The outlaw refuge in Orsinium can't be entered from most of its perimeter, Clicking on it gives "The target is out of range". You need to find the one magic spot that let's you enter.

I'm not sure these are all repeatable bugs but I'm guessing some of them are. And I'm sure some of them are "by design". Terrible, poorly thought out design, but design.

I suspect you weren't standing on the forge. You were standing on the cliff above it

Isn't 6) unlocked by doing a quest? That is what I was told earlier (haven't got that far yet myself).

Half wondering if I should wait on buying this DLC. Looks like its a huge mess.

I bought it and 0 regrets. It is amazing.

jamesharv2005ub17_ESO · November 2015

I think I'll wait till they work out the bugs. I dont like being rolled back. Quests not functioning. Plus all the other bugs Ive been reading about. Plus it'll probably go on sale closer to christmas.

SantieClaws · November 2015

Some of the problems may be caused by the sheer load of people wanting to be in the same place at the same time doing the same sort of thing. This is the first scaled PVE area and therefore you will get a greater concentration of players in one place then you have probably ever had before.

I popped in for an hour last night and it was very busy. Won't get much chance to play more until the weekend and I would guess that people may be more dispersed around the area by then.

jamesharv2005ub17_ESO · November 2015

I find it odd ZOS didnt think of this when they made it so you could go at any level. Like usual they never learn from the past mistakes and keep repeating them.

Marrtha · November 2015

I don't know, I haven't gotten any issues so far..

But battle-leveling is the future whether you liked it or not. I just hope the next time the make the game ready for it.

SantieClaws · November 2015

I prefer scaled areas - gives more player choice. I'd also like to be able to play cross alliance. They need to have the code and the hardware for it all to work well though somehow.

I did all 6 writs and delivered to Orsinium, 5 were OK, the 6 box wasn't active. My journal said "Deliver to Belkarth"

Went to Belkarth, box wasn't active... went back to Orsinium, and this time completed the drop!

Had four rollbacks last night, one erased my victory over a world boss

But... running around in fresh air with new content! It's just so liberating

Yeah it is, but you can still discover the entrance if you stand right next to it.

My favorite bug?

Forcing everyone, especially v16s that are fully kitted out in gold gear, into battle-leveling in orc land.

Was rolling 3700/2900 spell damage for dual swords/staff in Mournhold when I logged on. Ported into Orc-land and suddenly my staff spell damage dropped to 2600 and my dual wielding spell damage dropped to 3000.

Truly a fantastic bug.

That certainly is a bug. VR15 and 16 should not be battle-levelled at all.

8) Which door did you use? I used the one on the outskirts last night and it was fine. (or I was SUPER lucky and just happened to click on the exact right place)

"you cant reach this" while staying on top of an interactable object ^^

Everyone has their own experience with Wrothgar.

Two days in and I love it.

you know how it is on the internet forums with the user reviews?
the ones who are unsatisfied write tons of posts and those who are happy and satisfied usualy don`t write a word.

so I would be very cautious if I were you, to make your opinion just from this forum. check out the other reviews, try it out on the pts and then decide for yourself

I discovered a lot of my latency was due to add-on's, may not be your problem but its worth a try turning off stuff like mini map etc...

If it were just me I might believe that. Maybe.

However when a dozen people in zone are also reporting several thousand millisecond ping times at the same time it's clearly not my problem but a systemic one. And much like ZOS blaming performance problems on addons that's a cop out. I've run into to these issues with and without addons.

Funny thing about this quest marker, if you are not close to Skalar's Hostel, the map marker indicates Bagrugbesh is found inside the outer wall of King's Cornerclub in Orsinium, somewhere below the player. It might have something to do with me having gotten the quest through another player sharing it with me.

Its only a mess if your outright looking for every excuse to complain. Overall better than 99% of the base game content.

I cannot relate to #1 as I play on Console but it does on occasion have some lag issues. I have heard about #2 but haven't really done any Potency Rune hunting on my Master Enchanter much, but I have yet to get a Rank 10 1 myself. #3 I didn't have that issue so must be a PC thing. Never had #4 not once yet on PS4 so perhaps Zenimax needs to hire better contractors for their flooring on PC?

#5 is rather common but instead of the wall it's the ceiling on console. #6 is indeed done by actually getting to the forge through Morkuldin Depths. #7... intended that way? #8 also cannot relate as I don't play PC lol

I do hope those bothersome bugs are fixed for you guys though
