Uppercut glitch

Spearshard · October 2017

Npc enemies that use uppercut are glitched pretty bad currently. If you get hit by it you are sent flying and often get send through the ground to get stuck there. Anyone else have this issue with the update?

ZOS_GinaBruno · October 2017

@Spearshard What area are you in specifically, and which type of NPC or monster did you discover did this to you? It would help narrow things down for us to investigate. Thanks!

Spearshard · October 2017

It has happened in stormhaven, from an alley enforcer in wayrest, as well as npc enemies in the farangels area and in a few delves.

ZOS_GinaBruno · October 2017

Ok, thanks!

happened to me on stage 4 of Maelstrom...made me laugh

and then sent into endless loading screen...which did not make me laugh

@ZOS_GinaBruno I just experienced this myself fighting the Thane in the Coldharbour Full Flagon quest. The Thane hit me with uppercut and it sent me flying through environment until it finally activated a loading screen that sent me to nearest wayshrine.

Happened to me in Hall of the Dead. Don't remember the name of the NPC but it was the female Lodorsbane in the stairway. She uppercut me back to the stairs. Was actually pretty funny. Hlaki i think was the NPC.

So you're saying ZOS buffed something for once o.O

Sounds like some pretty strong NPC’s. They’ve been making gains I see. Getting uppercutted as far back as to the nearest wayshrine? They’ve definitely been eating their vegetables.

Imagine the "fun" in pvp with this.

I got uppercutted to the outer atmosphere* by a NPC at the Village of the Lost (Coldharbour public dungeon) earlier today.

* Not really, I flew some 30 seconds in the air until my character bumped into a wall and died from 43k fall damage.

EDIT: NPC was one of those 2H dremoras.

Seems balanced to me, if the gap closer doesn't fall through the floor and crash then when he uppercuts, the victim will fly through the sky and crash. LOL...

I was in Mephala's Nest delve in Stonefalls and some janky goblin uppercutted me and I fell out of the map back to the start.

I fell for like a solid minute or 2 before anything happened.

ZOS_GinaBruno · October 2017

Just to update, we're testing a fix for this issue to hopefully be included in next week's patch.

TheRealPotoroo · October 2017

I had a couple of glitches that are consistent with this. One was in the Forgotten Crypts, as I was heading up the stairs out of the group area. I was beating up the mob on the stairs or thereabouts when I got walloped into the wall and had to use /unstick. The other was in Obsidian Scar, I was brawling in the vicinity of the High Seer when I got walloped into a blank background for a minute or two before getting dumped back at the dungeon "wayshrine". At the time I thought it was a server time jump but maybe not.

Is this a new incentive to dodge or block uppercuts?

Blocking didn't work for me, i still got shot out.

Maybe I blocked late tho?

lailoken · October 2017

Same thing happened to me. A few random heavy hits or uppercuts sends me across the dungeon maps (Forgotten Sheriff sent me back to the main entrance, the first combat NPC after entering Sanguine Demense knocked me to the Fire-Eater area, which I won't complain since there were two mini bosses to fight to get a chance for more of those witchfest containers)

Beyond that, it'd annoying to almost down a boss (as was with the Forgotten Sheriff), only to have the fight reset after getting knocked across the map.

This shouldn't be a wait until next week fix. This happened to me twice, and a few others in my guilds has reported the same thing.

Ashtaris · October 2017

Yep, this happened to me as well when I was in Coldharbour doing a quest. One of the daedra hit me with an Uppercut and got shot into orbit and died from the fall damage. Needless to say, I started paying closer attention and dodge rolled their wind up after that

I hope this is not active from other players. If so, the 2H guys are going to have fun in PVP.

Shantu · October 2017

Has happened to me also about 4 times now. The last time, once I landed and was killed from the fall, I couldn't move anywhere in the direction of the dolmen where it happened. So I just logged out and back in. Once back in, I still couldn't move in the direction of the dolmen. Transporting to the nearest wayshrine resolved the issue.

Hope you will reset the maelstrom leaderboard in case anyone exploited this bug ... cause you can litterally skip the stage 5/6/7/8 to get to the last stage.

AngryOldMan · October 2017

I experiensed this in Stonefalls, two-handed npc sending me flying trough the air. Was kind of hillarius, my character kept screeming for 10 seconds before i died from fall damage. Roll dodging attack maybe prevent it until fix. For me it seems to be two-handed npc`s that are causing this bug

Malakor · October 2017

happened do me last night doing the northernmost dolmen in Auridon. All of a sudden I was flailing through the air and landed inside a hill. Wound up having to teleport to another group member to get loose. That was a serious hit

ThatSpazChick · October 2017

I just got uppercutted by an NPC at a dolmen in Shadowfen. He knocked me through the world and into a loading screen. I’ve been in the loading screen for 20 minutes and I have an XP scroll running. If my XP scroll runs out before I get loaded back into the world I need a new one. I had 30 minutes left on a 100% XP scroll that I spent real money on.

Next week? I can't to the dungeon end today.

Sin_Arcain · October 2017

I had the same issue when I did the quest in Shrouded Vale. Some of the wood orcs used Upper Cut, knocked me down the stairs, through the wall where I died because of fall dmg. I foolishly revived on the spot. Needless to say I couldn't get out of the wall.

In the same quest line when I went to fight the leader he knocked me through his freezing circle spell, which killed me immediately and other occassion through tents and into the middle of other mobs. I had to ask for a friend to help me kill the leader.

Amnastaria · October 2017

Next week is here, and bug is only intensifying.
Happening to me several times, in different areas - last time in Greenshade, in the city held by Maomer. Happening with different kind of mobs, including regular sea elves and veiled heritance fighters.

Anazasi · October 2017

I heard a player in pvp was hit and knocked from BRK all the way to Alessia.......

Darkhorse1975 · October 2017

Im sure the monsters and enemy NPCs are just as confused as we are!
