So yeah the title is self explanatory, ughh people are casting 2 Storm atronachs, and dropping 2 nova's by just spamming their ultimate ability, not sure if ZOS even reads this, so it might be a waste of time, but yeah. I dont think you should release the patch with this in effect, and I definitely think this needs to be a prioritization fixed before it goes live. I mean thats why I play the PTS so I can test things, and report them so this feed back should be sufficient enough to do something about it.

    For all but Templars it's working as intended. Templars ultimates will be hotfixed to only cast one at a time within the next 24 hours. Thank you for your understanding and your patience.

    If you go on PTS, and you generate enough ultimate for atro, or nova, spam your ult button. It will drop two. I can make a video of it.

    There is a stam sorc on AD that drops duel Storm Atro's on live. Its already happening now. Its not something that the patch is introducing new. I was in a group with Krotha, and we all seen it. Its happening now. I think he live streamed it.

    Yeah I've seen it in live with various ultis, I think it was a stealth buff in one of the last patches.

    I agree i wish i took a screenshot but on my toggle death screen it was dawnbreakers from just one person the whole list down.... what a crock

    @pfalzer thats a different bug :)

    Our double ultimate fun refers to ultimates with target area indicators (nova + atro mostly), while your infinite dawnbreaker fun is caused by eclipse, which reflects the DB to the caster, while also letting it deal full aoe damage, as well as making DB cost nothing.

    You can insinuate things all you want, however that doesn't change the video evidence presented in this forums post. Of two ults going off, by just spamming my r button with my fingers, the ult casted twice, regardless if this is the PTS or live, why isn't this a concern to fix this, rather then accuse me of doing something i'm not. Or whether or not this is on PTS or live. This shouldn't be debated between us, this is proof that two ultimates are going off with the cost of one, regardless of what the accusations are towards me, even though I was not cheating and just spamming my ultimate button, the fact of the matter is that I am granted two ultimates, for just the cost of one, instantly. Why is that not a concern, this needs to be addressed.

    Damn, I can't even get one Nova to work right. I start to lag out as soon as I hit "r" and nothing happens, so I hit it a bunch more times, only to get kicked for message spamming. Happens all the time in trials and pledges. Only dawnbreaker and shooting star for my stamplar now. I wonder if I can get those to double cast?

    We spam the R button because we're used to the lag. It can take a few seconds for an ultimate to finally drop.

    It's takes me over 5 seconds to get my nova to drop ONCE in pvp on live right now, will these extra novas be retroactive ultimate payment? :wink:

    A couple of days ago I was leveling the greater atronach morph ultimate on live server and when I've used the ultimate 2 atronachs dropped instead of 1 too bad I haven't taken a screenshot of it.

    I've tried to replicate it but wasn't able to do it.
