After having numerous odd experienced in VAA and in other areas of the game every since the NA servers were taken offline for that "fix/maintenance", I decided to test out a few things in-depth. Specifically things not working as intended, as I made a thread about. But come to find out, there are numerous other things that are pure broken.

The video above shows this perfectly against the final boss of VMA (Stage 9: Round 6). As you can see, I followed all mechanics beautifully. And when I go to activate Honor the Dead, the skill just isn't registering period. It shows it being activated, but it isn't being used. Also, take note of the random boost in run speed. I didn't activate the haste sigil, nor any mobility potions. Nor am I wearing any gear that boosts movement speed. So where did that come from??? The game is literally broken to its core. It's not just lag. It's not just poor net code. It's actually broken.

The boss himself has been behaving odd as well, and. It following his patterns of attacks either. I've seen him start off using his charged skull attack, to firing 2 of the big skulls you have to block or dodge at once. Instead of just 1 of them. I've had him push me back with his charged skull attack, even though I held block and didn't release.

I've seen tons of oddities occurring lately, and best believe I'm bringing videos of all this. IDK WTF ZOS did to this game, but they F'd it up horribly. And it's effecting the game on more ways than 1. Servers need to be taken down again, and thoroughly examined and fixed. This is ridiculous. Bad as it is we are plaugued with Minor Aegis and Minor Slayer being broken, and won't see a fix for another 2-5weeks. Now this?

Edit:
I just noticed after watching that clip again, I was head-butted by the Clanfeer even though I was nowhere near it. As the head-butt was the killing blow. WTF??? I wasn't even near the Clanfeer, due to the random speed boost I obtained. How was I even hit?

    Bugs? And then bugs on top of those bugs?

    And then bugs on top of the bugs that were on top of those bugs!???

    Sounds about right. :) I can point out a bug in just about every encounter I have no matter the content.

    Was fighting The Screeching Matron (giant clannfear, Elven Gardens district IC boss) recently and she bugged out big time. I fight pretty close up, but back off when she executes her dangerous telegraphed attacks.

    She was supposed to do her forward Charge attack, as signaled by the telegraph on the floor and her lowered head, but just stood there instead. I got close, and out of nowhere she does her Tail Swipe AoE telegraphed attack, right as I mysteriously take a ton of damage and get knocked down by the Charge attack she never did. The CC stops me from moving away, and the Tail Swipe connects. I find myself at a loss of like 16K Tel Var stones -_-

    Damn, that's a pretty huge loss. And yeah, the servers need to be taken down again and ASAP. This isn't just happening to us either. There's a lot of people currently on PS4-NA experiencing tons of these "oddities". When they did what they did to the servers recently in the maintenance, they screwed up what the SotH patch screwed up further. And now things are either a hit or a miss. If getting Flawless Conqueror or other completions of tasks done wasn't pure luck as it was, it definitely is now.

    My question for VMA is, how are you supposed to follow mechanics when the mechanics don't even follow their own guideline and script??? How you supposed to get Flaweless Conqueror, when your skills literally aren't coming out? And you're facing with the run speed bug, Minor Aegis and Minor Slayer bugs, etc. And yet, people say for others to "git gud", and learn to play. Meanwhile on PC and Mac there are add-ons, macros, constant hot-fixes, etc. =\

    Bugs suck, and they're frustrating. I have 3 nightblade characters that I play, and I won't forget that for weeks it wasn't possible to jump while sneaking. Or more recently, the stalker vampire ability didn't work for a couple of weeks. However, I don't see the bugs stacking and stacking on top of one another. I mean, they do fix them as they find them, and I'm not really sure how hard they are to find, but probably pretty difficult. Hell, just trying to find bugs in a small program (500 lines) can be mind numbing - I can't tell you how many times all that was missing was a semi-colon out of some 20,000 - 30,000 characters.

    Anyways, seems the best way to get results is to stay on em, and make sure they know... kinda like what you're doing here! Not tryin' to tell you what to do or anything,but remember, stay cool, they're people too! Hang in there, dudes.

    That seems the sprint bug, notice how your stamina is going down, thats why the skill didn't fire. You need to tap and untap your sprint button (i play on pc, dont know how it works on console), that fixes it.

    This was around like 1 year ago on PC, they fixed it but since Shadows of the Hist patch is back.

    ZOS won't listen, they are too busy making more drastic changes to the game when there is stuff still completely broken that they ignore....

    Instead of fixing what they have, they just keep throwing more broken things into the game that break even more older things....

    It's been a never ending loop of this crap since beta...

    Completely agree. I'm stuck on the final boss round as I get similar mysterious deaths. My death recap will show damage from things that are dead or I'll get damage from the Crematorium Guard's fire breath while up top with the boss.

    However the number one problem I've encountered lately has been that all the platforms remain lit up and I have to play a guessing game as to which one to kill the clanfear on. I've got a one in three shot and if I'm wrong, by the time I guess the right one, I'm nearly spent on resources. The round is hard enough without these kinds of bugs.

    I experienced this twice earlier. It's ridiculous.

    I love it when I bash the flame mages, only for then to teleport and incinerate me :open_mouth:

    Or when my attracts just don't land in the target :confounded:

    Yeah, I was just thinking that. I get this bug almost non-stop, and it dumps my stamina and all my attacks stop working until I hit run a few times.

    That bug looks like a simular bug we have on pc. The stuck in sprinting. Usually pressing the sprint buttun twice, breaks you out of it.

    Champ lots of weirdness happening. I thought it was because I'm still learning vma and I'm having moments of extreme Derp but I'm having crap like getting uppercut while behind, not being able to bash the final boss despite being at full Stam and so close to him I could smell his arm pits, et cetera. It's why I didn't run it this weekend bud.
