Character locks up in combat

Lord_Wrath · February 2017

Occasionally during fights my character appears to freeze up for 3-4 seconds, ive noticed this looking at other players. You stop, cant use skills, no dodge roll or break free, no potions, but you can weapon swap though. Then suddenly youre able to move again. During this, i notice no CCs/roots are on me.

I haven't experienced this before homestead. I want to say its a bug/glitch, someone suggested it is packet injection but that is one person thats talked to me about it.

I've been experiencing the exact same issue and have never seen it before.

PvP is feeling very pre-alpha right now between this and invisible players.

Iyas · February 2017

I noticed that Bug when I got rooted near keep breaches and in tower doorways

Minalan · February 2017

I experienced this in a dungeon, during the mighty Chudan fight. 5 seconds, no skills or healing, and bash did nothing.

This release has a LOT of bugs to work through.

PathwayM · February 2017

I've been experiencing this as well lately in Cyrodiil on Haderus PC NA.

Joy_Division · February 2017

K, it's not just me.

Also noticed it seems to happen around doors/archways.

Wollust · February 2017

It happens around doors and narrowed spaces when rooted/snared/in some ground AoE and when you try to streak. You get "stunned" and don't streak.

@Joy_Division @Wollust

The last time this happened to me was right outside arrius mine in the open.

If you try to streak to some sort of gap or something like that, even if it's just between two stones, it happens. I've never had it in pure open world, but always in "gaps".

Hmm...

I only got locked up on my sorcerer, not my templar. I vaguely remember trying to streak. You could be correct.

My group with 4 sorcs has been encountering this bug since the patch is live. We're pretty sure it's streak but we can't exactly determine what else except the gap thingy. I have had it happen while standing in Volley, while being rooted, while standing in templar houses, inside DK banners. And most often while fighting in towers because there is so many doors and stuff.
It might be snares, roots or just some ground AoEs. We can't tell. But we also haven't actively tested it yet.

I was getting locked up on my Stam DK around Drakelowe Farm last night.

Eirella · February 2017

Yeah this has been happening to me too when trying to use Streak through a doorway (though I feel like it happened a few times when not near a doorway.) My sorc will just freeze and stand there. Super annoying.

Yeah, each time there was definitely root, snares, and all other stuff going on in heavy combat. Perhaps some combination of streak, the "gap," and snare/root.

Getting this too. I was just mentioning it in /guild chat after streak just wasn't, well, streaking - noticeably when trying to get away from large numbers. A few times, the opposition went through 2-3 cooldowns worth of attacks while I was trying to mash streak - and it didn't happen.. Now I wasn't hard-cc'd as I was moving (slowly) - probably a tremorscale proc or something..

Noticed it again later when being attacked by 3-4 others, but this time i'd given up on streak so was just shielding/running - Again was heavily snared (but definitely moving) - didn't see any evidence of shield being successfully cast - but for some reason I took a long time to die - so maybe they were cast at server side, but it not showing on my client or something... its weird...

But streak is the worst - I've even took it off my bar.

Oh, and it wasn't a standard 'lag-freeze' where everything stops for a split-second... With this, everyone who was beating on me seemed to be moving/animating nice and smooth - but my skills just weren't happening.

Biro123 · February 2017

There's some other weirdness too.. Quite often since the patch I can instantly drop from fully-shielded full health to dead - and I mean instant - yet looking back at the combat logs thinking 'what the hell did that kind of burst?' I see 3 seconds worth of small hits coming in. This is from multiple players - but its 3 seconds worth - yet the animations were smooth, apart from seeing all those people suddenly attack you at the exact same instant and you suddenly die - but with 3 seconds worth of damage from them all??

The just happened now - lunchtime - a fairly quiet time for the server - pings and framerate were both good.

Something IS off...

Lord_Wrath · February 2017

I think there are random deadspots in the game. Im in Old Orsinium, and pin pointed a spot where streaking caused this freezing. I kept doing it over and over and over with no nearby enemies or doorways. Some other sorcs came rolling by when I was going to ask them to test streak in that spot, I went to show them the spot and it stopped happening.

@ZOS_GinaBruno - this is a weird issue!

I've been getting locked up in fights heavy and light. Overland PvE is a mixed bag, sometimes it works, sometimes the game slows down, freezes and rubberbands. Last night's vet HRC run was abysmal. Skills weren't firing off. Block was working intermittently and boss attacks weren't rendering. It's a wonder we even finished it.

Lord_Wrath · February 2017

I agree. Ive found so far this isnt a pvp-only issue. Its like all I can do that doesnt screw up is farm materials.

Quantum_V · February 2017

Yup, had that too.

The bug with Streak is that it now breaks in the same locations that have been breaking Necrotic Orb (causing the balls to vanish in thin air) for close to a year. Most easily reproducible in milegate tower doorways.

I'll have a detailed video explaining the bug when it's done uploading.
