The Werewolf is riddled with bugs.

KORJ · April 2014

Absolutely everything in this game is broken.

Darkholynova · April 2014

So I bit someone on April 9th... looking at the debuff "Bit an Ally" now shows a timer of 46 days remaining until I can bite a friend again... one more bug for werewolves to get screwed by...

Dimie · April 2014

has any of you notised that your Max health stamina and Magicka have gone down too? before I was a werewolf I have 1643 health now I only have 1230 health mana and stamina have gone done and I have with race and class skills more health % and the gliffs on my armour don't seem to work any more. I was way mroe tanky before I was a werewolf.
I took the packtleader as me and my friends where thinking of doing a werewolf packt and all but the packtleader seems to be the buggiest werewolf I have even had it that I worked my ass of to get my ulti up and as soon as I killed the last mob it dropt to 0 as I did not wanted to wasted it on a one strick kill.
I do realy hope they fix this as it feels like become a werewolf is only weakening your self to other players.
Vampires realy got the better work around my friend is one and he hardly has problems with it he can easely tank bosses in 4 man dungeons with ease whiles I get one shoted since I got my werewolf.

Patrice · April 2014

ww is still broken... always resets ultimate, and if you can morph you just have 1-2 seconds.

That is the biggest problem that just makes it difficult to ignore all the other problems. I mean Vamp has a lot of bugs as well, but overall it's pretty solid(while maintaining access to other skill lines for versatility).

WW costs 3-4x more than other great ult choices, yet it makes you weaker by stripping away your versatility and doing nothing to make up for it. Not only is your mitigation stripped away, but I would also argue that your damage is lowered if you compare it to other glass cannon builds.

I'm really hoping when they release Craglorn it is accompanied by some WW fixes. Though it would do some good if they at least acknowledge the current problem with a dev response.

THE WEREWOLF IS RIDDLED WITH BUGS.

I can attest to that.

Dimossa · April 2014

So i was a ww before. Yesterday i switched to vamp, played a bit and didnt like it. So i cured vampirism and got bitten by a ww again, but when i enter hunting grounds for the ww quest and morph into ww to take down a prey i cant atack, only block. There is similar bug when you need to press c, enter or escape 2 times when you in regular combat, but it seems ww is different story... i can atack in human form. tried to relog, revisit the zone...abandoning the quest. I did wrote to customer service guys and response we aware we are woking on blah blah... It seems my issue kinda uniq, it seems i cant even find anything online or in the game with similar issue. I was wondering if its come with 1.05 patch and if anyone encountered it before. Its a real pity its broken...like everything else in this game.

Will try to locate Rift shrine and check if quest broken there too...

Dunhilda · April 2014

Wait a darn minute here, no one said anything about fleas? are you kidding me?

Man this communality is lacking.

Azriuel · April 2014

So, do anyone know anything if something is gonna change? Did a Developer or someone say something?

GunemCleric · April 2014

has there been any acknowledgement at all of these issues from ZOS. I am trying to work with others to combat WW bite selling, but cannot because very few can effectively level WW to do the bites for free.

Not to mention WW is starting to look more and more like a curse...i mean being owned by lower-level spiders is more insulting than going down to a mubcrab

Westcoast14_ESO · April 2014

It really needs to be reworked. WW form is currently a handicap, and that's without considering the loss of an ultimate slot, blowing 1000 ultimate and the poison vulnerability, and vulnerability to the Fighter's Guilds skills. A well thought out character build can be stronger in virtually every way than WW form. I just haven't encountered situations yet where having or using WW form seems advantageous.

For me, the relatively complete failure of WW as an ultimate can be summed up in two short sentences. Ultimates are abilities reserved for hard fights. WW form is only suitable for use in easy fights.

As an aside, I currently play a NB, which in its currently highly bugged state is hardly a powerhouse class.

Orchish · April 2014

Becoming a Werewolf was a big mistake in my opinion now that i've had time to try it out. Not only am i much weaker in Werewolf form compared to my normal Orc form, But i keep getting a bug where if i pounce and the target moves out of range or gets to close i get stuck in the pounce animation. I am UNABLE to attack at all whilst this happens and just have to wait until i get slaughtered, which doesn't take very long at all when in Werewolf form. The cost for this so called Ultimate is absolutely absurd.

aRealClassAct · April 2014

@ZOS_GinaBruno, @ZOS_JessicaFolsom I know you guys are swamped with all the major bugs that are impeding progress for many players as well as the bot and exloiting issues, but are the issues posted in this thread also being looked into? I hope they are addressed soon so that it is viable to remain a werewolf

thesawolfb14_ESO · April 2014

sad werewolf is sad..

Yeah.. lots of werewolf issues right now.. I'm staying werewolf tho.. nothing like werewolf raging (as long as my damn ultimate charges don't reset on me right away like normal) in a public area

aRealClassAct · April 2014

@ace_sin Can you add the infinite devour and WW form to your list as well? Pretty much you can just devour and interrupt the channeling by moving while still gaining the boost to your WW form meter. By doing this you can forever be a WW as long as there is a body to eat (yes interrupting the channel means you can eat the same body over and over).

I think we can all agree that you SHOULD be able to be a werewolf as long as there is a corpse to devour, but you shouldn't be able to reuse corpses you already devoured and interrupt the channeling of devour but still gain the meter bonus. I'm all for infinite WW form as long as I am killing fresh meat at a fast enough rate to sustain it

Inifinte WW form ftw! Not all the bugs are bad haha. I went berserker so that I wouldn't have to deal with the pack leader bug myself, but I don't think my WW skin has updated to being black like it is supposed to

thesawolfb14_ESO · April 2014

@aRealClassAct yeah.. I went berserker too and no dark wolf skin either. The infinite devour is interesting tho. Most of the times I run into issue where I'd devour and ALL corpses in area wouldn't be devourable for a little bit (usually right until my werewolf form was expiring). I might have to run into this bug by accident myself..

Yeah you just move as soon as you start devouring. That's it. If you leave a body unlooted in addition to this then that body wont disappear and you can just come back and keep devouring it. Like I said, I agree with infinite werewolf form being possible if you are killing and eating new mobs constantly, but right now the only way it's possible is by this bug. Though the WW tree is absolutely terrible, I was able to rank up in it pretty damn fast thanks to that bug so I say it's an even tradeoff and I'm excited to see how they rework the wolves in the future.

murklor007neb18_ESO · April 2014

Sigh... So I'm trying to level up werewolf, turn into one, kill a mob, feed on a corpse for the first time ever because its taken ages to get that far, yay!

Pounce on the next group of mobs with 80% time left... And turn normal again when they start hitting me.

Fantastic. Wasted the ultimate and died because of the confusion.

After like 30 minutes of charging it again, I turn into a werewolf and quickly dispatch and feed on the mob so I can pounce on the next mob with almost full time left.

... And turn normal again as soon as I land.

Fantastic.

I'm not even seeing any talk of werewolf in chat anymore, its all vampire this and vampire that. When running around in the world, everywhere I look there's a vampire.

aRealClassAct · April 2014

@murklor007neb18_ESO‌ Use the devour bug I listed above you. Until they fix WW that is really the only way to possibly level. Prior to getting devour, the best thing to do is farm up your ultimate and then go to the chicken farm in Eastmarch, pop ulti, and run around murdering chickens in one hit (critter kills rank up your WW at the same rate as mob kills)

seaef · April 2014

Of course the werewolf is riddled with bugs.

Fleas.

That's because there is a cooldown after you eat. You will notice that after some time there will be a noise(sounds like releasing steam or something) and then the bodies will have the red circles around them again. Which is also another bad design. As long as there are bodies I should be able to eat them. Not just for the WW timer, but to also recover my health.

@aRealClassAct I updated the OP.

nijino · April 2014

honestly, the bugs never occured to me until i morphed into pack leader, oh man its so bugged, its not even worth using, as it takes too long to charge and kicks me out of form quickly. beserker seemed fine, just no color change. this really needs a fix. they maintenance twice a week, howabout we get a fix already please?

Ace_SiN · April 2014

Werewolf
Savage Strength I: The stamina bonus this ability provides from kills has been decreased. Savage Strength II’s bonus is unchanged.

Out of all the bugs that needed to be fixed...This is what we get.

Nitratas · April 2014

This is more than ridiculous

PurpleFox · May 2014

Just because this is my favorite thread and one I really care about. *Bump*

articwolfgirl · May 2014

Bumping for views, I hope this gets looked into. WW's tree needs a fix along with the fleas. xD

PurpleFox · May 2014

WHAT. THE. ***.
ZoS you *** ***!
I log on today 5/5/14 to find that nothing about the Were Wolf skill line has been fixed except for "Endless running" WTF!?

If you want to fix things fine!!! But that's a another *** debuff for us! Instead of taking things away from us, ADD and FIX what we already had!!

For anyone else who cares to read, i'm gonna vent/rant a bit on a different thread...

Couldn't agree more, instead fixing the glitches they are fixing something that was minor. What about the form glitch where we are stuck in humanoid form after building our ult? What about the devour annoyance where you have to sit there over a corpse for a bit just to gain that extra 10-15 seconds in the form... They really just need to cut the **** and make the form a toggle.
