Regarding the issue with Molag Kena proccing, we were incorrect that this was something we couldn't reproduce (blame Monday?). This has been bugged internally, and we're working on a fix for it. Sorry for the confusion!

@ZOS_GinaBruno
New information about kena? Will it ever get a fix? When you cant fix it, please fix the skills that doesnt work or change the tooltip...

@Xantaria any plans on reviving this thread? Bugs keep piling up and ZOS def does not keep track of them lol

ok rip

Xantaria · June 2017

HI ... I guess I might be reviving this thread since I got unbanned.

Xantaria · June 2017

OK the thread is live again, feel free to add any bugs you find

I deleted all old bugs (~200) and am starting froms scratch to make sure that no fixed bugs are included anymore.

Don't read the spoiler.

Incoming - ZOS' brilliant moderator with green copy+paste message regarding necro threads and pointing out to some noob bug thread instead.

The work I put into this thread will make it huge again, I hope ZOS remembers how big it was. And they themselves used it frequently and went through the issues, so let's hope this does not happen

Asmael · June 2017

Noice to see diz thread back

Let'z get rollin'!

Ballista's damage tooltip does not get increased based on Hawk Eye's charges. This is only a tooltip issue as the actual damage gets increased properly.
Oblivion damage enchants' tooltip get increased by Master at Arms CP star, however, the actual damage does not get increased.
Damage multipliers aren't all working properly. See more details in this thread
Forceful (2 hander passive) damage seems to benefit twice from damage multipliers, leading to parses with heavy attacks dealing up to 40k when the damage from this passive can reach 70k+.
Magnum shot's knockback can allow you to bypass certain doors.

Pretty sure I can find a lot more given some time...

Zer0oo · June 2017

Let's make the threat big again

The most annoying bug is player are invisible to you even though they are in the same dungeon/trial only if you port again to a player in your grp it will be fixed.

The second most annoying bug: getting stuck in HA and getting perm-snared because of that if you use a lightning or healing staff. (see https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/4263390)

Direct/dot damage classification:

Deep Fissure counts as dot and not direct damage
Twisting Path is counted as direct damage and not dot damage
Swarm is counted as direct damage and not dot damage

Magnum Shot can double cc players and knock them back twice

Sometimes when a grp wipes all players can rez because they are still in combat (dunno what causes it)

The ice skills of warden don't crit right.(~10% less crit than your spell crit is)

The feeding pit achievement in vSO is bugged and cant be done. You can no longer place the meat to activate the event

If you summon your sorc pet and immediat use it's special ability it will be desummoned and resummoned again(sometimes you can also get 2 pets that way)

if i get bored i may post a few more

batters92 · June 2017

let's start with the sorc!

there are some issues right now which i am not sure about if they are intended or a bug, but i will list them anyways.

daedric tomb: even if the boss has a huge hit box, sometimes not a single mine hits the target (eg. 3rd boss in vHoF, all 3 mines are beneath the boss but don't explode)
daedric tomb: i got the feeling that something is wrong with placing the mines, because they don't spawn exactly at the position where you aimed at. most of the time they appear at the same position around the target which is in range of the ground targeting circle no matter if you aim behind, in front or to the sides of the target.
again daedric tomb: the mines of rank 1 and 4 are way more spreaded than the mines of rank 2 and 3. the mines of rank 2 and 3 are extremly close together and all 3 always hit the target. (i don't know which version is the bugged one)
summon storm atronach: most of the times this ulti doesn't appear. there is the animation and sound, ultimate is gone, but no atro. it's not only a visual bug, because there is also no damage.
combat pets: they still don't scale correctly with the spell critial chance and @ZOS_GinaBruno promised at the bug report thread (created back in february) that it will be fixed with the next big update (which would have been Morrowind)
combat pets: if you are currently summoning a pet and press the button again or directly after the pet spawned to use their special ability they despawn and you start to resummon them instead of activating the special ability
combat pets: their auto attacks don't scale with ancient knowledge passive (could be intended) EDIT: i just checked that they also don't scale with other modifier like CP
summon twilight tormentor: if the previous point is intended, then activating the bonus dmg to high health targets is bugged, because it doesn't scale with ancient knowledge
conjured ward: the morph hardended ward doesn't remove speedbuff, but empowered ward does. i guess it's not intended.
mages' wrath: if multiple sorcs use this ability at the exact same time only one of them (i guess the very first one) applies the debuff to the target which triggers the actual execute. we didn't test the other morph or unmorphed. sometimes even 2 sorc applied the debuff, but never a 3rd. (tested with combat metrics combat log)

Another huge bug:

if you cast something like purge which only hits 6 player, most of the time you won't get the effect of this skill yourself.

Thats what i have in mind right now, i will check later if i forgot something.

In the event of Ruins of Mazzatun where you have to save the elders right before the final boss (associated achievement: Savior of the Su-Zahleel), multiple characters can press the same button at once, causing multiple waves to spawn at once.
Dawnbreaker no longer hits targets who are dodge rolling. This is not consistent compared to other AoEs. (Take flight was changed specifically for this).
Battleground group queues keep throwing messages saying that someone declined. This is most likely a bug, as this can keep going for over 3 hours, when grouping while solo will almost gurantee a group in less than 20 minutes (sometimes no more than 3 minutes). This has been consistently experienced by about 20 different people I asked.
The Unstable void explosion during Rakkhat's fight will stun you, regardless of whether you got a CC immunity going on or not - be it immovable potions or break free CC immunity.
CANNOT REPLICATE CONSISTENTLY: You may sometimes lose the Major Expedition buff from potions. I think this might be related to an interaction with snares and / or Shuffle which removes the buff. Will give further information if I get to test it. Note: with 3/3 in Medicinal use, you should have 100% uptime on it, so it's definitely not an issue with the buff running out due to time, as I often lost the buff 20 seconds after consuming a potion.
Trying to join a battleground while a group member is offline will wrongly throw a "You or members of your group do not have the DLC unlocked for this activity" error message.
Using Equilibrium (and most likely Ravage health potions, swimming in lava and fall damage as well) while using Bloodspawn will proc the set, generating ultimate outside combat.
The Mud ball pouch momento allow you to throw mudballs at allies. If they are dodging it, it allows them to regenerate ultimate outside combat. Another interaction to generate ultimate for the user (instead of the one dodge rolling) consists in throwing a mudball at an ally, then healing said ally.

Our blessing has been fullfilled.

Puryfing Light - If 2 Pury Lights are being stacked on 1 enemy, only one will deal damage. @EgoRush for more info. (has to be confirmed or tested again.)

Neaa · June 2017

casting purifying light from multiple templars on the same target results to only 1 getting charged up and deals additional dmg as it should. all the others wont do any dmg.

breath of life still has a 360° radius where you can heal groupmembers

Asmael · June 2017

Halls of Fabrication (Infight Bug) - Quite frequently it happens that you cannot resurrect even after the full group dies. This seems to only happen after the third boss, there seems to be something (possibly related to the spinning blades or lightning beams) that keeps the group in fight.

About that one, it seems to be related to assistants actually.

We had this bug multiple times, and when it happens, someone in the group needs to check if (s)he's still in combat, if (s)he relogs or leaves the group, the rest of the group can resurrect just fine, so it would be nice to confirm whether a pet, assistant or else is the cause.

PS4: Pack Leader direwolves are not respawning after you die , this makes them crap in BG.

batters92 · June 2017

one thing about vHoF:

rezzing at 4th boss doesn't work a lot of times. when trying to rez nothing happens and the character gets stuck for the duration a rez would usually take.

They won't even respawn on PC as well, also the pets don't heal back up anymore

Avran_Sylt · June 2017

Enchantments:
General
Low Level Enchantments placed on high level items get a damage boost that is vastly different from their tooltip.

Oblivion Damage Enchantment The Internal Cooldown of 4 seconds is not reduced by the infused trait. However, the Torugs Pact Set Bonus (1 second reduction) sill applies correctly.

Inverse Kinematics
All in-game Robes still use the old animation system, the characters legs, however, use the current system. This leads to clipping and stretching of the character's legs.

Jonno · June 2017

when ground aoe's (Liquid Lightning/Caltrops/Endless Hail/Destro Ult) are barswap animation canceled you still have the targeting circle on the other bar and cant use any skills until you barswap back again

RP - When entering certain instances body markings, face markings, hairstyles are removed

vHoF 4th Boss people experience extreme FPS drops

DreadKnight · June 2017

Xbox 1NA

Voice Chat - getting stuck in a continuous countdown loop and not able to change channels resulting in being stuck in toxic area chat.

Can sometimes swap channels by mashing the leave or join button at the 0 seconds point but can take a long time. Logout and re-log required.

Happening more and more often now.

Unable to launder a piece of gear that is marked as "stolen", PC.

It was odd that it was marked as stolen to begin with: I got it from a master chest in a public dungeon. I've never before opened a regular, locked chest and had anything that I took from it be marked as stolen .

When I tried to launder it last night, it said I couldn't launder that item. So I tried to sell it and it said I couldn't sell that item. It was about 10-10:30 pm PST and I'd been playing since about 7 so my 160 allowable fence items (which I hadn't used the day before anyway) should have rolled over.

So I tried to launder and then sell to the fence the item in question this morning. Same deal. But this time I took a screenshot, which shows all my unused fence transactions.

This happened with another item a couple of days ago, something that I knew was stolen, but I didn't keep track of it.

this happens everywhere. The issue is different actually. It only happens when you run towards a dead body and immediatly try to rezz. on your screen the rezz animation starts, on the server you were to far away when you started it, thus it doesn't work on the server side. The resulting desync cauzses your character to be stuck for the duration. can be avoided by running to the dead body and then waiting 1 second before starting to rezz

Great thread, but if anyone writes current exploits ZOS will close this pretty fast.

I would remove the world exploit from your title.

Cheers!

it has been fine in the past and exploits on this list got fixed kinda fast usually. The really extreme stuff will be reported to ZOS privately. I can do that so if you feel you have knowledge of something really gamebreaking I can contact them directly with it without sharing it here.

Look in the upper right corner of your screen. You have FCOIS lock (it is from using add on: FCO ItemSaver from Baertram). You can right click on that item (you have to see which option in that list that belong to FCO and not from in game lock by game it self) and change it status to unlock it and then you should be able to launder it.

*When you do an action and see that message it means that your have locked that item and game can not perform that action on item.*

You might need to adjust settings in FCO ItemSaver, so it will not lock too many item automatically (there are also settings which do this for craftstation which unlock item during that state when you are at a craftstation and have set item to decon in FCO ItemSaver. It will put a lock on it again when you leave CraftStation window, so you will not be able to sell or do any action then decon that item, until you change its lock; same for guild store lock etc).

Press ESCape to go to main menu options. Use Settings>Add ons and scroll through your Add Ons until you FCO ItemSaver. There is also Settings>Controls (add ons) if you want to make some keybinding for locks, instead of using right click.

Neaa · June 2017

when you complete the first random dungeon to get the undaunted xp Bonus and kick 2 members of your Group, the Bonus resets and you can Queue again.
