Magnb and BROKEN SHADE

Datthaw · February 2019

Shade always seems to have some problems. It has finally hit a spot where it was working well. Then with murkmire..... it breaks........again. I will not go into the past bugs but this new one, is quite annoying.

Shade is broken on the y axis in keeps and resource towers. Just now in ash keep I have a shade placed bottom tier on my fear trap and I am on the 3rd floor. I'm a light armor magnb using 1 shield and dark cloak, that shade is my life. I have two stam metas come up there and dbos and begin the steel potato spam. I block the dbos, but being light armor mag toon, im one cc from death in my stam pool. I hit my safety line, my well placed shade two floors down.... I pop my safety shade......"INVALID LOCATION"..."INVALID LOCATION"

I mean come on....

Things like this that never get fixed and never addressed are killing my class and magnbs get no love because stam is so overturned.

Anyway... just want yall to know...this is crap...

Intended change.

@gabriebe was messing around with shade (no enemies) in and near Brindle a couple of weeks back. There was no vertical issue on the palisades or cliffs. Shade really didn't work well on the keep walls and towers, possibly even without vertical difference some of the time. Sadly those are the locations where you'd want to use it far more.

Yeah I mean I use it all the time still, but it's sad when like my only viable defense outside of cloak spam doesn't work in keeps. Not that cloak would have even saved me vs the barrage of steel potatos.

It's just really stupid how it doesn't reward smart play. Shade is always broken and it's an escape tool that actually takes some thought.

@NightbladeMechanics mebe kena could shed some light?

I thought this is working as intended since they disabled the ability to teleport on walls, the converse would be true. Otherwise you could technically set your shade on the wall, cloak down, burst a bunch of attackers down, and when they start counterattacking you recall back on the wall.

I've only played nb since launch, so this isn't hate but exactly how I'd do this.

Datthaw · February 2019

I mean that was the whole point of shade, jump down and port back up or w/e. Plus they just make a new skill undo that can be used in the exact same way so idk if that's what they intended. I think they broke it

Then they need to say this. There’s over 20 tags to devs for months now with the only information being from Class Rep Notes. I tried almost every day for a month straight to get at least a “ we’re looking into it”. A bug like this is crippling lol. But they either don’t care or don’t play a Mag NB that relies on it.

Not just change it then ignore posts for a few weeks.

I have this same problem, however you can at least do this if you are on ground level in a keep. Porting back through the wall or a door if you set your shade on the other side of it.

The y axis does work in Pve though. Which is weird.

What I also dislike still is that flame reach doesn't toss people of walls anymore. Only if players stand toe over edge.

So.... Is this a fix shade thread, or a nerf stam thread?

phaneub17_ESO · February 2019

I see my shade disappear into solid ground then reappear back again every so often. The one you can teleport to hasn't given me issues, its the melee one that seems to vanish most of the time and not in a good way.

It's a fix the damn shade thread. I was just bringing up the point that people dont take magblade problems seriously because stam is overtuned. We get lumped in with them and screwed over.

I thought that was pretty obvious point of view

InvictusApollo · February 2019

This should be fixed.

Datthaw · February 2019

We get class reps and they talk about better communication but then we get snuffed on simple frigging questions. Like

Is this intended?

Like it's not hard for them to give and answer. But they won't because......? I honestly don't know. I get more angry from no answer then of they just went " that's how it is" atleast then I would stop frigging posting about it

Datthaw · February 2019

I guess it says load when our "class rep" plays a frigging sorc in the rep vs dev bgs

Developer comment:

Being able to reliably port to your shade was an old bug and has now been fixed. We´ve no clue how to fix the issue so we went with the route to change to skill tooltip so that you sometimes port to your shade
