    I was dps testing and no way that Maelstrom Bow bug was the real thing. Just a visual bug. What the issue actually was is a mystery, though..

    Well at least i was able to to assign my cp, get in to a delve and grab one new motif. Still is this kind of thing why they have a test server for a month?

    A game this huge can't be bug free. No matter the game... there are cracks that bugs slip through.

    How to test a major update ZOS-way:

    Step 1. Don't waste time for internal tests. Just push the patch to live servers in prime time.
    Step 2. Wait 4-5 hours for players to test the patch.
    Step 3. Find out the most obvious bugs.
    Step 4. Shut down the server for maintenance to fix these bugs.
    Step 5. ???
    Step 6. Profit!

    It amazes me how entitled [snip] people are. By all means, please enlighten us on your extensive experience with testing major software. They don't take down servers lightly. However, in your estimation, they have no idea what they are doing. Go you! You are an expert on the internet.

    I was wondering where the hell my gear went on my Orc Alchemist alt when I saw him at the preview screen!

    Um, yea. The patch came from PTS (over a month there). Anything serious that was not detected but needed a fast fix could not be re-tested there.

    I could provide a similar list in rebuttal but it would seem just as absurd.

    I remember back in the before times when there was an update related to your bank space and it caused people to lose purchased bank upgrades and items stored in the bank. It was quite a thing to deal with on supports part. If the issue is anything like that again (maybe something wrong with the mats being moved into craft bags or something) then please, take steps to fix it.

    Perhaps not necessarily. If this is something that can be fixed via maintenance it may be something that can be fixed when the consoles get patched.

    It amazes me what entitled jerks people are. By all means, please enlighten us on your extensive experience with testing major software. They don't take down servers lightly - they did it because an exploit was discovered. However, in your estimation, they have no idea what they are doing. Go you! You are an expert on the internet.

    I have stopped being surprised over how stupid some people can be. If they do not know anything about game development as massive as ESO, they should really keep quiet. It is OBVIOUS that not all problems can be found in PTS as PTS is different than the servers Live. ANYONE can understand that, at least one would think. But no, people have to be complete *** because things are not going the way they want. (pretty childish, yes..)

    What I really can not understand is what they are really doing here? If it is so bad, why not just drop it all and leave, and let the rest of us play in peace? I believe ESO would appreciate that as well.

    is it an exploit now? i just read an item related issue...

    btw... were you ever on the pts? did you already take a peak at the posts from today talking about bugs that have been reported during pts phase and still made it to the live servers? maybe there's a good reason why people are making posts like this...

    Point being... there are 2 other platforms that could be vulnerable. Yeah lets tell the whole world about our weak spot! Give them time to fix and confirm.

    Someone in there noticed that something is wrong and decided to shutdown for a hotfix, so this person knows what's going on and he/she didn't tell you?

    It's an item-related issue introduced with this patch that we need to address.

    hey @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

    would you mind providing more information. i mean there must be a good reason to bring the servers down for this issue right after the patch and it shouldn't be possible to exploit it when the servers are down, right? (and afterwards fixed right? is it embarrassing? did you reintroduce some old bugs? just guessing here)

    so absolutely no reason to not tell anything?

    This could be a really bad exploit. One you can do while the server is down. You don't even need a computer/console. Just thinking about it is cheating.
