A List of Everything that Homestead Broke.

BeardedOrphan · March 2017

Just wanted to compile a list of everything that i have run into since homestead has come out that seriously makes the game hard to play sometimes. Please feel free to elaborate or correct anything i put in this list or add on your own list of things that you have found broken since this update or before.

1. Broken Maelstrom Staves - when more than one person in a group has a maelstrom stave equipped only the first person to place down wall of elements gets the enchantment buff.

2. Vet Maw of Lorkaj - any one that has set foot in this trial since the launch of homestead knows that the DC bug is back in full force, this trial is so difficult to run with the dc's that i can't even tell if anything else is broken due to having half the group re-logging throughout the whole trial

3. Vet AA - these are the only two trials i have had time to go into so far this patch so im assuming the other two are broken as well just cant confirm, but i have found two bugs so far in AA that make doing the hard mode version very difficulty. during the final boss fight on hard mode the 12 man group buffs such as ebon, worm and sanctuary will randomly turn off and are unable to be re-enabled until the inevitable wipe, this is especially bad because without the ebon buff during execute the mage can one shot any dps in the group. the next bug is equally as frustrating and has to do with the axes, during the last boss fight when an axe is taunted it will just randomly lose taunt immediately after being taunted and as soon as a new axe comes up an axe that is already taunted will run away, this makes it so once 4 axes are up there is almost no point where all the axes are taunted at once since one is always losing aggro earlier than it should.

4. Guild Trader Search Option - Currently for some people including myself when you go to search for a piece of gear in a trader it does not give you an option to specify which piece you would like to search for ie. head or chest or other armor piece. this makes searching for specific items extremely tedious.

I know i have more than just these four that i have listed above in my head, but it is late and im drawing a blank so ill leave it to the rest of the forum goers to fill this page with all the annoyances that they have found and if i think of any of the others that i have encountered i will update the discussion.

I'll link the thread I made when Homestead launched: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/320219/volatile-familiar-does-not-hold-aggro-anymore#latest

The ability for pets to take aggro off of players onto themselves has been nerfed in a major way. Still unconfirmed whether this was an intentional change or not.

2.1 Sun-Eater's negate sometimes not rendering
2.2 Vashai and Skinrai's colors not rendering on players (90% of all the wipes)
2.3 When a sorcerer negates a Sun-Eater, Sun-Eater can negate the negate (don't know if intended)
2.4 Rakkhat should be more OP

VMA Bow still consumes gems like crazy, but, Stam sucks now so who cares.

Orbital · March 2017

Please fix vmol

Koolio · March 2017

Soul Assault Purgeable
No heal on Healing Ward shield expire (25%)
Streak

TARAFRAKA · March 2017

Its not jist AA and maw. ALL of the trials are broken. Tried running vhelra tonight, froze twice on bottom boss causing wipes then lost tank then me as healer again. Usially.going in at daytime made it semi possible to do helra but apparently that doesnt work anymore either...ALL OF THE TRIALS ARE BROKEN.

Kammakazi · March 2017

Please fix the Maelstrom Bow enchantment bug.

Makes playing my Stamina characters a little annoying.

Problem number ###
I went to view my bank inventory and it was empty and read "0/240" had to relog to see it again.

Problem number ###
Afformentioned guild trader search problems in which after search results appear the disappear for and search is reset.

Problem number ###
NPC guild stall vendors in Elden Root take 5 seconds or more to load after you travel from wsyshrine to stalls.

ZOS . . . you SHOULD allocate more resources to server maintenance and patching. Problem's should be fixed on a daily basis with smaller incremental patches, also fix your servers, fix, fix, fix, fix, fix, fix, fix, fix . . . my frustration is rising

SublimeSparo · March 2017

Yep, currently running vmol with a progression groyp on NA PS4, and it has regressed back to how it was 6months ago when i first cleared it on EU.
Multiple screen freeze crashes upto and on the first boss, suneater negates still invisible 50% of the time, no notification of armour shatter from savages.
No colours on the twins, or visual clues/ notifications of conversiond.
No 'unatable energy' notification's at rakkhat
Rakkhat becomes invisible to players returning from the back yard.
Tank not receiving the lunar bastion buff, despite being the only person to touch and be on the correct pad (this was a new one today)
Random screen freeze crashes throughout the fight.
And a return of the infinitely recurring screen freeze crash- a random player will get a screen freeze between pad 1 and 2, no amount of restarting, relogging, rejoining group fixes the issue, however i did find a work around albeit not an ideal one-
Have said person start the encounter facing the wall on near the entrance, and only move over and join the fighting once rakkhat moves to pad 2.

On the plus side, despite all this BS the group has progressed well, and got rakkhat down to 200k hp before a wipe today, so fingers crossed for tomorrow

Vaoh · March 2017

If only they would fix these issues before Morrowind.

Actually nevermind..... let's just hope they fix these issues period. We ask for fixes, yet these issues have yet to even be acknowledged.

I might add that since homestead my GF lost several items from inventory and bank. Once traded a at that time expensive purple housing item inside my house, logged both off then. At the other day we both logged in and the item was just gone from our inventories.
Also dropped some dozend glyphs for leveling in the bank, logged off right after. Next day after logging in, the glyphs where all gone. Little damage involved in that one but it still makes me question where my other skoria helm is I am just unable to find anymore. -.-

Trading items inside a house can cause this bug. The traded items can totally vanish.

I purchased 48 Tempering Alloys inside a friend's house recently. The seller was a random dude I was grouped with at the time. Neither of us knew then, but had this bug occured, it would've been an absolute mess.

The group finder is utterly borked at the moment

Stage one: wait a year for a group in a game that other than dungeons only encourages dps, so almost everyone is one
Stage two: get a group, click F to show ready, then wait while one player never clicks in and the group is auto disbanded
Stage three: repeat stage two for about ten to twenty minutes until something finally kicks in
Stage four: port into dungeon, where upon it imidiately flashes up the removing timer and throws you all back to zones!
Stage five: MANUALLY port BACK into the dungeon!
Stage six: not be able to get the quest completion because the other three refuse to wait and I can't interact with the blasted quest giver because it's still busy nattering away

Magdalina · March 2017

STREAK. It gets me killed almost more often than saves me now, and I've seen it bug in PvE now too.

Groupfinder. Remove people from the instance->unable to queue is the best of multitude of bugs they introduced to it.

Weapon swap while in character menu/inventory will result in your toon stuck with their hands out like if holding weapons but weapons sheathed. Doing anything with your weapon fixes it but it looks dumb and wasn't there before.
While on it, I'm seeing the good old bug of both weapons looking the same or being purely invisible a lot more often now and that does affect gameplay - I kind of like knowing which weapon I have out without having to double guess. Reloadui usually helps.

Missing cc immunity when letting a mob cc lapse on you - seems either completely or nearly completely gone now, not sure if intended or not, nothing in patch notes about it being removed.

Oh missing random dungeon reward if queued with a friend/pre-made group, near 100% guarantee to fail now.

I'm sure there're more I can't remember atm/haven't run in yet.

Seraphayel · March 2017

To be honest right now I wish ZOS would revert the servers back to a time before Homestead.

I read that the Lich set proccing doesn't actually increase your recovery. It boosts your stats, but doesn't really give you more resources back on recovery ticks. Didn't try it myself, but a guildie tested it last night and said that was the case.

His 780ish magika recovery was only proccing 1500ish magika return on a recovery tick with the lich proc active

Also, I guess it never worked in the first place, but you can't build a dueling arena out of anything inside a home. Any knock back effect sends your target through placed items (if you have an elevated plank that you fight on, they fall thru it).

I think I read that the proc only works while being in combat.

lostavalon · March 2017

One thing i cant figure out hiw they broke it so much (not game breaking ways) is the goblin costume o.O

Yeah, the bug where someone coming in from the backyard can no longer see or target the boss is very irritating, has caused multiple hard mode wipes up to this point.

Yeah i have heard that hel ra was broken as well, just couldnt confirm since i havent been back in there since homestead.

Getting off a mount and sometimes just closing menu (depending on what skill is set to circle on the weapon bar) on PS4 makes my character attack. I've got bounties from this, so it would be nice to see a fix.

When hidden sometimes NPCs see me anyway and I've got bounties for stealing when I'm completely hidden. NPCs also make snide remarks about my presence after breaking and entering even when fully hidden.

boredom

?

I not entirly sure its becouse of homestead patch things wannish bought stuff from crown store and stuff wannish and zof still havent get my items I paid real cash for .....

Magdalina · March 2017

Given today's patch fixed nothing, adding something I forgot.

Crystal Frags proc is borked, not just the UI notifcation but even the visual proc itself seems extremely unreliable, roughly half the time I cast it following the cue it's a hardcast, and sometimes when I gamble and try it without actual shiny hands, it works, implying there was a proc but it wasn't visible for whatever reason.

Not sure if that goes into "things Homestead broke" given it was only added with Homestead but the master writ boxes in the writ boxes are bugged, they show you "0 vouchers" if you mouseover them.

Messy1 · March 2017

We should keep bumping threads like this to get ZOS to take some action . . . we're not asking for much are we? Just a smooth gaming experience and bug fixes!

agegarton · March 2017

Bugs.......?

I think the word you're looking for is "features".

Pallio · March 2017

These will continue to be ignored, so they can focus on getting more $$ out of everyone and tweaking the "future" bugs they will soon implement and then ignore.

Turelus · March 2017

You forgot to mention my heart, it broke my heart.
