What on earth did ZOS do to cc break? Console Wrathstone patch

Hey ZOS,
Thanks for fixing the draining shot bug. But guess what? That annoying cc delay has now some how been implemented in any hard cc that knocks you down, not allowing you to breakfree.
Guildies have also reported the same issue and I remember hearing it in @Thogard stream that he was also experiencing a cc-delayed bug similar to the old draining shot, but applying on EVERY skill.
Anyone else reporting similar issues? Is this being looked into or what?

As you can see, full stamina, I'm spamming breakfree like crazy yet for a solid 1-2 seconds I cant do anything.
Will upload other videos soon with different cc's to show that its NOT just rune cage but any hard-cc in the game, especially those that knock you down.9 -

✭The same on PC EU. Since Wrathstone many of my guildies and friends are saying that break free doesn't work. Though I didn't notice the issue.One of the two of us definitely has gone mad. It only remains to define whether this one is the whole world or just me.

✭✭✭✭It's definitely an issue. I noticed it with fear a few times. Can't say I did with anything else though0 -
HidesFromSun✭✭✭Yep, us on PC have been trying to get it noticed, as the ones who play with gamepad have the exact same issue. Sadly we were not heard.3 -

Yeah I figured it wasn't just exclusive to console.
Regardless this bug makes solo play borderline unplayable. If you are in a 1v5 and get ccd it's a death sentence now. Oh well maybe ZoS intentionally did this to kill anything that was left of solo play.4 -

✭Fear has always been difficult to break, full stam bars and nothing, should be removed.
I have noticed break free is definitely not working on a lot more CCs since this update though.1 -

✭✭CC makes the game more fun but not when its used on you
Playing your character the way your character should play is all that matters. Play as well as you can but never betray the character. Doing so would make playing an mmoRPG pointless.3 -

Not new, fear breaks whenever it wants. Has been that way for months."I don't know you, and I don't care to know you."

bol✭✭✭Not just limited to console or gamepads. I play m&k on PC EU and same issues. Worst of all is fossilize where you cant break the stun and then if your still alive cant even dodgeroll out of immobilize. On many ocasions after trying to roll the stamina gets consumed my char moves a bit but stays immobilized. The fears, the knockdowns, char keeps in place waiting for CC to expire with full stamina. And is not a latency issue since the combat until the point of CC seems fluid.
This was happening since as long as I play, but its gotten much much worse lately.3 -
Exodium✭✭✭✭It’s been like this since launch?
Yes cc's have always been buggy I agree. But there was a difference between cc's sometimes not going off and cc's being plain broken like the draining shot CC and the old rune cage CC.
Now, every single CC basically acts in the manner of rune cage/draining shot where you will press breakfree but the game won't register it.3 -

Disabling or hindering a player is something nearly all game designers use sparingly, because stopping a player from doing anything means they are not playing. Sitting there not-playing is not-fun.Xbox NA2 -
dtsharples✭✭✭✭✭Not just on console. Happening on PC also.
There are also some new ground-effect bugs that are perma-rooting people in place.
Gotta love all the new 'Features' every update brings......
Oh and the invisible keep walls are kinda back too!! Saw a few of those yesterday \o/0 -

✭I've had all sorts of bugs since Wrathstone release.
-unable to break free
-Disappearing attacks
-unable to CC targets that are clearly not CC immune
-I killed a templar then dropped dead to their beam execute a few seconds later, not POL but the channeled beam that was non-existant because the player required to channel it was already dead
-resource recoveries intermittently dropping to 0 for no apparent reason
-damage seeming to spike randomly or drop out randomly
-weapon damage enchant overwriting weapon damage set proc

✭Heh... try using psijic ulti. It doesn't work at all.
My sweeps ulti will require multiple attempts to fire it off as well.
I think they should increase base CC immunity to 10 seconds. There's zero chance to breathe with 6 seconds. You go into defensive phase and by the time ur ready to go back offensive you get CCed again. It's not fun, especially when CC abilities deals so much friggin damage, they are incentivised to spam.4 -

Would explain me being perma downed in malatar by the dawnbreaker spamming adds during orb fight spend entire fight blowing stam trying to stand no immunity or ability to break free0 -

✭✭✭PS4 NA On Vivec last night it was pretty bad. I mean getting feared, full stam, press break free get no result with only a dozen or so people around, not like a massive fight that lags everything. Others in my group were getting it as well - the complaints were just way more frequent than normal.Heh... try using psijic ulti. It doesn't work at all.

Undo was failing to move me back to my original position, and also failing to return the resources. It would still use the ultimate up like it went off.
I can accept being a turtle on its back unable to get up if I don't have the stamina. Otherwise, its just very aggravating knowing you did the right thing to stay alive by saving the resources to use and the game failed you.Fear is the Mindkiller2 -

I actually agree with this 100%. In open world, 6 sec immunity after break free is not enough time. CC's and Roots have become the number 1 must have skill for open world group play - I.E. Ball Groups, Small Group, Largescale Defensive, etc. because more roots/CC's means faster kills.
Also, I have been experiencing the CC Break glitching as well. Sidenote *I have also noticed more of a "delay" on using the action button in menus, such as in Trader I have to press A or X multiple times to actually register a selection....
All menus seem delayed.2
