Maelstrom Arena Bug(s)

Xerton · September 2016

So first of all i want to say i love the Arena and have done it so many times i can't recall.
After finishing it with all classes on magicka builds i now startet to try and do the same with stamina builds and while doing so i not only realized that, at least for myself, it seems to be way harder, but also that there are still so many bugs in the Arena that just frustrate so much and make you wonna break your keyboard or at least yell at somone (which unfortunately i did at some point...)
Just to show one of those bugs i made a short video (i had to remove audio for copyright reasons, as i listened to music).
In the top right corner you will read 'Euer Ziel ist außer Reichweite' which is german for 'Your target is out of range'
This happens at soooo many points in the game!

An other thing, which i currently don't have on video but if needed i will try to provide one for that too, is the way the targeting in the game works and i have to say it is just so broken!
So i use the ingame key to lock a target which in my understanding means, that my character should now attack the enemy beeing locked as my target.
What really happens is that, when the locked target is in front of me (and in attack range!!!) and an other target stands a bit in the way, that target is being attacked.
Well one could argue it blocks the way so it has to be killed first, but lets be honest, that is complete bs.
On the other hand, when i am on a ranged weapon and have a locked target in my back and attack a minion in front of me, my character breaks his arm to attack the locked target in my back, which is off screen.
Now please explain me your logic?
When i am looking at my locked target it is not guaranteed that i actually attack it, but when my target is in my back, it is???

Maybe some of you have other bugs and or can provide more videos for ZOS, so they can fix this

I know this bug too.
It's really sad when you're with your Templar in Cyrodiil and no Heliung arrives because you do no dmg because you "are not in range" ....

No sure if bug or what but NBs on the last level have infinite range soul tethers and cremo guards match you speed whatever it becomes.
Also mobs animation cancel in there, sometimes they don't animate at all sometimes their damage comes at the start of the animation rather than along their animation.
Sometimes a sunken platform in the frozen rink doesn't reemerge if you die and reenter. It's there but it's invisible.
I think I ambushed inside of a shrine totem on the spider level. Couldn't move.
Yeah the targeting is infuriating.
sometimes with a clear screen and only 1 enemy in your cross hairs you still gap close onto something in your periphery because of the enormous and invisible hit boxes.
Enemies not being dead when they are actually dead
You not being dead when you are actually dead

Actually this does not only apply to mobs it also happens e.g. when you use Sorc finisher. The animation has not even started yet, but the enemy already died.
Or to be more accurate he did not as far one can see, but you already here the sound you get, when finishing a stage.
And as you here the sound either this is a bug or the game already knows the mob is dead before he actually is

I did not even come to the problem of hit boxes, but as we are there let me say they are completely messed up.
For example when you stand right in front of the Ash Titan in stage 9 it is almost impossible to get any other mob as a target even so you are cleary looking at them.
The hit box is just ridiculously big and extends way over the graphical model.

@ZOS_GinaBruno is there any chance i could get a response to this.
@ZOS_KaiSchober even a german answer would do for me

Because in my opinion you are sending a wrong message, when responding to insulting threads, but seem to ignore the ones being polite and written in a calm manner.
At least to me, this is an urgent matter, that needs to get your attention, so these problems can be solved as fast as possible
