Broken recall to Shadow Image with Murkmire patch. Please revert it to pre-patch!

reActor1 · October 2018

After the patch the recall to the Shadow doesn't work in many cases.
At least 3 times in 1h of playing.
I don't know in which situation the error is triggered but it happens for sure, and it completely kills this kind of gameplay.
This is the most clear situation, since I'm very close to the just-dropped shadow on top of the wall.
You probably can't see that I'm pressing the skill button but, I swear, I was spamming it before dying! You can also notice the error notifications on the top right corner when I try to recall...

Simply revert any modification you made to the shade, please, don't let us wait years for this!
I'm already disheartened cause I know this won't be considered anytime soon, but here's my 2 cents.

i hope they'll fix it before new years eve (2020...)

Every new DLC or nerf the same old story. I was not looking forward to this new DLC and you can wonder why. Good luck on getting the Shadow Image problem fixed in a timely manner.

Not Again, we had this broken for months before ZoS fixed it. it worked really nice last DLC, How is it possible to screw up an ability that havent recieved any changes? really ZoS?

That's been my first thought but unfortunately it's not that easy. I recalled with success leaving the shade on a high rock and jumping down... more and more.

Unfortunately it did receive a change...

Shadow Image: Fixed an issue where the Shadow Image's summoned monster would despawn or teleport to unreachable places if you went out of a certain range. The Shadow Image will now never move from their original placement.

OMG not again. This is just....sad

John_Falstaff · October 2018

Was it like that on PTS, I wonder?.. Or it was a last-minute change?

olsborg · October 2018

Confirmed now by myself, it fails more often then not when trying to port up or down.

This was broken last year from like June to January.

Looks like round 2

olsborg · October 2018

Please fix it asap ZOS

dagonbeer · October 2018

Please fix ZOS. It's the only saving grace to playing a magblade these days.

Shadow Image teleport is not working majority of the time. I have narrowed down the scenarios.

It doesn't work if
The shade and the player are not on the exact same elevation. Even if there is a slight difference in elevation, it doesn't work. The majority of Cyrodiil and BG maps vary a lot vertically, making it useless.

When you don't have direct line of sight of the shade. It is very wonky in such situations. Sometimes, the teleport animation fires, but you remain in the same place. Sometimes, it just summons a new shade. Rarely, it works correctly. This kind of beats the purpose of the skill.

This happened several times to me also, but only in cyro for now

Your options without shade in PvP on a magicka nightblade are now A.) run mist, which will get you killed more times than it saves you and B.) spam cloak, which will get you killed more times than it saves you and is an unfavorable, cheesy mechanic to use.

Shade is useless in this state and needs to be fixed, ASAP. Please don't give us that "we're working on a fix for a future patch" garbage, there already was a 6 month period where shade was bugged in the past year and a half.

Tonno_SenSei · October 2018

Totally agree, the skill is bugged and need to be fixed asap

dagonbeer · October 2018

Keeping this in the spotlight.

UP @ZOS_GinaBruno , @ZOS_JessicaFolsom
We dont want clockwork city deja vu, when we needed to w8 3 monthx for fix.

Jakx · October 2018

Its horrible how this game can allow reported bugs to go through and not get fixed for months. It should be top priority to fix skills not working correctly.... again. Its the type of negligence that reduces customer faith and engagement with the game. Its actually sad that players know ZoS' tendencies to wait months just to fix important mechanics in the game. Completely unacceptable.

dagonbeer · November 2018

Great job getting the dot-enchant change in so quick. Now would be great if we can get some acknowledgement on this issue
