last saturday I got a smurf while fighting at BRK (TF). He was in the inner keep, up the wall, while I was at the other side, helping to smash the inner door. He was snipping our forces, something had to be done, so, I climb up the stairs and I sent him 3 flame reaches to make him back off. The first hit him, the second pushed him down the wall while the third got him in the air in less than 4 secs. Fall dmg and KO.
I have to admit it was a nice kill. Wrong, but nice... it needs to be fixed
Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly
I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
Used the wrong method with the wrong technique
I noticed this in PvE as well (seen ppl post who said it affects probably only PvP).
In vet Maelstrom Arena it happened to me quite often. When I take a WB or other kind of CC with full health and shield and no matter if I CC break or not, I will get immediately CCed again.
Result: once had 2-3 melee NPCs on me that threw me around the room with WB until I was dead and dozens of other less noticeable deaths that could have been avoided.
Also, many times WB hits me halfway through the casting animation... but this is another issue.
Today in non-vet Cyrodiil EU I stunned enemy WB spammer with Fosilize and immediately after he broke free, but still under the effect of immobilize he's been hit by another DC player by WB ... of course he went airborn even under visible effect of CC immunity around his feet.. poor guy got wrecked
Few minutes later, while defending Bleakers I ve got knocked down by Invasion and immediately after breaking free, while still holding block, seeing the WB comming, and with my stamina half-full, I was knocked back, fell trough the ground bars above main door .. killed by fall damage... So with CC immunity AND while Blocking .. WB just sometimes doesn't register anything...
Between...
- CCs that you can't break free
- WB hitting thru dodge rolls, at 12+ meters (tested, I'm not overstating), ignoring blocking and other things...
- Weapons swap that stops working almost all the time when there are more than a few guys
- The lag
- CC immunity that doesn't protect against CCs properly
...everything is completely broken.
Thank you, I'll come back when ESO hits release and not alpha version.

Poke @AsmaeI (last letter is uppercase "i") on PC EU or Asmael#9325 on Discord and receive a meow today.
and here is another bug related to break free and CC immunity
With break free (not working) and blocking (sort of working) being initiated by the same key, seems the game thinks you want to bash/block, when you actually want to break free ... so instead of breaking free you get a nice block (not shown as animation is either cancelled) again by the next attempt of break free, which gives you a bash (with another cancelled animation here instead of trying to break free) and so on
The really bad thing about this is that - especially for a stamina build - with that non-intended block, you are without stamina regeneration for 2 seconds (minimum) thanks to the newly introduced "no stamina regen while blocking" feature.
So you don't get a break free, the block isn't worth anything as it isn't held (or easily by-passed and in any case critable, not like shields), the bash (without a shield or skilling for it) isn't doing any real damage either and in any case you won't get any stamina back up for at least 2 seconds so ... you won't have any stamina left for break free or roll dodge or fighting ...
In short - and with the stamina bar more often than not desynced anyway - you are dead any which way.
Is this really working as intended?
Edit: *hates autocorrect*

Watch 2:05 - 2:10 ... 2 WBs to 1 target, both give knockback .. and if you look carefully you can even see the whirling effect indicating he has the CC immunity while he flies after getting hit with the second WB ...
