Who else is fed up with shadow image posts?

I just wanted to say big thank you ZOS for having this skill so messed up! With Christmas and New Year almost at the doorstep I am looking forward spending some quality time with my family!!!!!


SHADE is so broken... that when I cast it in one room and go to my game room to play eso...and my wife finds out I am playing games vs looking after our child.... I get in big trouble... because when she walked in to my game room... my shade teleport does not work.... so basically I fail as a father, husband and magblade...


One post 1 @ZOS_GinaBruno said the following:

Thanks guys, just confirming we are aware of this issue and working on getting it fixed.

This acknowledgment was done on Nov 17 2017. This means it has been 20 days or 480 hours or 28,800 minutes or 1,728,000 seconds since the acknowledgment and this post.

Whoever plays magblade in light armor and no shadow image knows the pain of what happens if they are jumped by multiple enemies. Especially in gameplay where roots and snares are all over the place.

The list below is not even complete yet. There are much more that I did not include.

      Don't worry, if history is any guide they'll have it kind of functional again by Q2 or Q3 2018. And it's December, so lots of other games are on sale. Silver linings.

      Only 20 days, those are rookie numbers.
      • Party members invisibel(dungeons/trials) - since 1T and no eta on a fix
      • stuck in heavy attack(perm snared) - dark brotherhood/thief's guild(could also be longer) - also no eta
      • synergies - dark brotherhood/thief's guild - "they are working on something"
      • Feeding pit achievement - not sure but at least 1 year - also no eta
      • and many more

      Seriously do not expect to get a bug fix in less than 3 month. 6 to 12 month are more sadly more realistic.

      I dropped a shade in Stormhaven and left to play other games. I keep trying to teleport back in but apparently I broke LOS somehow. I can't teleport back into ESO until they fix shade!

      They could fix that by returning it to what it once was instead of a god awful charge you can spam a few times. But lets not get off track, back to shade.

      So...they fixed it on PC and didn't even mention console?

      Can you *** fix this on console as well or at least give some acknowledgement to it? Such a simple task, not being done.
      If you need hire more people to communicate with the community then do it!! I'm sure the 3 day storm crown crates can pay an intern for the year to do that simple job. Communication lol it's not difficult

      They break so many things at such an alarming rate it's pathetic lmao

      I main magblade and haven't even tried to play since they broke shadow image.
      I'm a PVE roleplayer concerned about my vampires stage 4 skin tone and keep getting load screens so I came here to distract people from major issues with a rant thread about my characters cosmetic appearance.

      The patch "fixed" the shade for a little bit. When teleporting now you might encounter loss of control. Only way to fix it is to reload your UI. Yeah...lets all reload in the middle of a important boss-fight!

      Except it still doesn't even flat out work in most instances. Not only do we have this new bug, but the old one wasn't even fully fixed. Cloak is still being broken by light attacks and bashes made before entering as well. The only two forms of escape on the Nightblade are broken, almost as if someone at ZoS is trying to make a statement.

      After last patch its... still buged. Now when you try to teleport back nothing happends, teleport isn't used at all so you can spam teleport back but it won't work anyway. I must admit it works more often now, but still its gambling, without this skill NBs are like sorcs without Bolt Escape -_-

      EDIT:
      About cloak being broken. I've said long time ago, the only way to sthap cloak from being broken by unwanted attacks is to use somekind of flag on skills - can/can't break cloak. Even when hit in cloak due to latency, delayed animation etc. cloak wouldn't be broken, only skills marked as "can break cloak" would do that, simple, fast and efficient.

      How do things like this pass testing to begin with (twice)

      Not knocking on you just generally curious. For some this is just a bug. Needs work. For others this is game breaking and makes pvp on a MNB very difficult.

      I suspect this is the reason. Their internal testing environment is different from the actual game we play in ways I'm not sure anyone fully understands.

      I can understand this on the first "fix" but after two it should have been caught and fixed.

      Well they need to figure out how to get that internal testing environment performance to the rest of us because that environment seems to have little to no bugs at all!
