ZOS, are you ever going to fix anything?

Carbonised · August 2018

Just passing along a few things that you could have focused on in today's incremential patch:

- Alinor chalice, silver still has the wrong Culanda requirement. This was reported to you way back in last PTS
- Can't respec skills unless you have 50-100k gold on your character atm
- Still not even a word about pets looking like this:

Lest we forget the hordes of filthy animals cheesing vAS +2 on Xbox NA for weeks on end with no attention given to the matter by ZoS.

Crown Store works - where's the issue?

(and yes this QA is getting to me as well. or rather the total lack of it internally and failing to listen to reports on PTS, let alone in the bug reports section or from tickets)

You can't? I can. Each one is usually responded to within a couple of hours, and then the hotfixes.

Skill respecs are not something that is significant.

There is more than enoughs skills points to go around so instead you can focus on gaining more skill points while respecing the morph.

But they fixed those chairs in Summerset so you can sit on them

That was obviously a high priority

Koolio · August 2018

You mean the biggest issue in Pvp right now

Sprint Bug

Here are some other bugs that ZOS clearly doesn't think are a priority, as of the 8/20/18 patch:

Random kicks to the login screen with no error message. This has been happening since Summerset release.

Yokeda Kai in Hel Ra Citadel has some kind of damage reduction bug. It fluctuates randomly, but it is making killing him and his splits very difficult.

The buttons that you must press to remove the immunity shield from Archcustodian, the giant spider in Halls of Fabrication, are not interractable.

The orbs to activate hard mode on The Mage in Atherian Archive are missing.

The weekly trial was NOT changed to something besides Asylum Sanctorum, even though it was closed all week due to another exploit.

There is no point in playing any dps class besides a nightblade right now. They do a significantly larger amount of damage than any other stamina or magicka class, respectively. This has been brought up at number of ZOS round table discussions, and they have admitted it is a problem. Yet there has still been nothing done, at least a month after they admitted the issue.

For someone who plays ESO endgame content, these issues are COMPLETELY unnacceptable. The content is either broken, unaccessable, or unenjoyable at this point in time. I am exploring other MMO options because the number of problems continues to grow, as ZOS focuses on crown store fashion items instead of rewriting their spaghetti code of a game.

"Forums, are you ever going to stop complaining?"

They're both moot questions, aren't they.

^^ This basically.

But it's all cool, we will have another reskined mount to buy in the crownstore next month.

In all honesty, for me, it is getting harder and harder to justify spending money on a sub when patch after patch, new content launch after launch, they just break more and more of the game. Then to top it off, there isn't even a "woops our bad we will be looking into it right away and rolling out a fix as soon as we find it". No they just leave it broken and hope we will all forget about it and stop pointing it out.

Deafening radio silence... Apart from that time the new Horns of the Reach motifs were broken in the crownstore and they were taken down within a few hours and hotfixed a few days later...says it all really.

TheInfernalRage · August 2018

ZOS, please fix my life. I'm so sad right now.

ADarklore · August 2018

I would like to know what they did to pets as well, making them look like they've constantly been 'snared'?!? Did someone ask for this? 'Oh, we increased their speed and decided to add some bizarre animation effect'... it seems that ZOS cannot just add something without also adding something bizzare to 'be a constant reminder that ZOS made an improvement'. It's like the 'we're giving you a buff, while also nerfing something else'.

qbit · August 2018

I hit champion level Sunday. Finally exceeded level 50 as a new player. So I’ve never experienced a crash in game. And I’ve played many many hours questing. I even deleted my first character at level 40 because I’m an OCD and like to waste time!

I don’t power level. I’ve properly spent like three months in the game. Or however long since the Steam summer sale. However, I was glad I read reviews and bought it for $10 direct from ZOS! Apparently it doesn’t work on Steam.

So point is it has never crashed ever. Now since hitting the champion level it’s crashed three times. Proper crashes that show the ZOS crash reporter to send info to the devs. There is surely a correlation here with the CP code paths maybe being unstable.

However, it appears that I now move very fast. I haven’t spent any CP on anything that should affect movement speed. And I’m like CP 45 now. But I move noticably faster. And now I can cast that storm sorc ability that’s purple with the squiggly lines coming out of character on the icon and sprint across town like I’m super charged. It’s like comicly stupidly fast. Lol!

Now ZOS will nerf my movement speed... should leave it though since I’m a subscriber.

Is artaeum takeaway broth with dubious camorean fixed?

this isnt getting fixed per @ZOS_RobGarrett this is intentional the broth is mislabeled and is actually food

You should take a look at Stormrage on WoW and get back to me ha.

Jameliel · August 2018

Servers still disconnecting players enmasse during large battles. Skills and potions won't fire off even though the potion sound plays. Ultimates go off but do nothing. Logging back in takes numerous attempts. When you get back in, you're at the gate instead of where you got tossed out at. AP is not received when you get disconnected as keep is being taken. I've literally been robbed of millions of AP. That is not an exaggerated number. Group finder in PvE is still busted. Sometimes it won't port you into dungeons. Even when you run to the actual dungeon port it sometimes still won't let you in, and you need to relog. This game needs some serious quality control by someone with integrity and the ability to lead and direct others.

Meh, this game is already dying a slow death, has been since 1.6, rip eso.

But the bug could have been avoided easily, with almost no coding what so ever, mail everyone a Re-spec Scroll, but that's so simply no-one could see it!

And it is the solution every time HE who cannot be named gets involved

That's all they've every cared about in the recent years. That and censoring forum posts that say "crap".

That's just how it is, though. I mean you must've encountered the Bethsoft titles: same old story going back to forever. Even when they supposedly change the engine you still see the same old glitches over and over; I'm sure some of the annoying bugs like jumping being very temperamental and instant lockpick breaking go back to at least Oblivion and FO3 if not further back, and in the days of Oblivion it was so often a case of "oh, that bug was in Morrowind too and even then it wasn't new."

It is frustrating when fixes are easy and are sometimes handed to them on a plate (e.g. Oblivion's game-breaking "a-bomb bug": a user-made fix could be downloaded on PCs but console users were screwed) but they consistently refused to do it. I would've thought with ongoing subscriptions in a game that already has enough built-in annoyance they would keep on top of it a bit more but I guess not.

Also "they": obviously I mean the decision makers and not the people doing the work. Spent many years at companies like that myself.

Devs can't even fix the Cyrillic font for almost 2 years, and you asking them to fix such "complex" issues. I wonder how the hell they decide, what is worth fixing and what is not.

In my head, there's a large wall covered in post-its with a bug written on them. Sort of a pin-the-tail-on-the-problem situation. But there's also 20-30 post-its for each legitimate problem that just read "Make a new cat", so the results are heavily in favor of "new cat".
