Infinite debuffs

There's been an ongoing issue since Flames of Ambition with infinite debuffs being placed on characters. This occurs in Cyrodiil for me. I don't really play much else so I'm not sure if it happens outside the war.

It occurs when a debuff is placed on your character, though not every time. I've had the debuff be mortal coil (which makes no sense), and a few others which were more weird than anything but tonight I had minor maim applied to me for an infinite timer. By infinite I mean it started at -1 second and counted down. When I finally signed off because it was hampering my damage, the timer was -14 thousand something.

    This has been an issue in one form or another for years. Luckily it's just a UI error and doesn't actually have any affect on gameplay.

    Not true, depending on the debuff it might affect your ability to run and to bash. Possible more.

    Last night, my friend was under constant CC status effect. He was able to move unhindered however, and was granted immunity on demand from a false CC.

    At first he complained, but then I was like: "Dude, you can have cc immunity on cooldown" lol. Meanwhile my burning status effect burns exponentially bright, like:

    My record was 8 infinite debuffs. However, I could still run, so that was a bonus.

    It actually is impacting gameplay. Not sure what debuff I had but my character would run slow unless I broke free every 5 or so seconds. It was a years long debuf. Had to log out and back in to remove it which put me back into another hour long queue to get back into Cyrodil.

    I've seen this so much more recently. Had four of them on me at once and my walking became stuttery, couldn't sprint. Happened right in the middle of a big keep battle. This was on PC btw.

    Mine happened on Xbox Na, so it seems to be across platform. I know people on other threads said that this has been going on for a while, but it seems super sized right now. At one point, my character could not move or use skills. Once the debuffs were removed, all was well the rest of the night.

    Just today I had several rebuffs again for that 40k days period. When I got the soul tether debuff, I wasn't able to bash anymore. The character would break free including the stamina cost (!). The debuff would stay and I could "break free" again and again. No running, snared. Until I got into a delve - reloadui and dying don't help.

    ZOE hasn't even acknowledged the Bug although it exists for quite a while now.

    I highly recommend to write detailed bug reports when it happens. Maybe some day ZOE will figure out what is causing this.

    I get this pretty regularly in Cyrodiil. Usually mortal coil debuff being something like 49k days or some ridiculousness. If you go into a delve and exit, it usually goes away.

    I love that over the years this has gone from streak bug to infinite debuff bug to infinite buff and/or debuff bug. So not only has this bug not been fixed, it's gotten worse.

    Nice work ZoS, really killing it

    I wear Ring of the Wild Hunt and when I'm out of combat the debuffs cause me to slow down to the in combat speed, long after the battle has ended and I'm out of combat.

    Has this been addressed by ZOS? I know it's not fixed yet. I left the game for 6 months because I was sick and tired of the mounting number of unaddressed bugs and overall lack of communication.

    one way i know of clearing it is going into the volendrung training area, but this can be very inconvenient

    another upside is the red CP tree slottables that grant you buffs based on negative effects still count these "infinite" debuffs (like sustained by suffering or the one that gives dmg mitigation)

    @ZOS_BillE @ZOS_Kevin Is there any word on if this is being addressed by the team? This has been an ongoing bug for a while now.

    For a purpose of clarification on this issue, is this a UI bug or are these debuffs actually being applied to the character until removed?

    Thank you!

    The one that keeps you from sprinting is definitely more than just a UI bug.

    Those debuffs don't behave like the usual debuffs/status effects, however, they CAN have an impact on your character. For example, what could happen, you can't sprint anymore (very serious) or when you try to bash you get a break free animation instead and use the stamina accordingly, even when no enemy around! It depends on the debuffs and just the obvious one you will probably notice very soon - maybe some debuffs have impact you don't notice that easily.

    I wonder about the one that makes your health bar all crackled, where you take something like 5% more damage, is that real? I can’t remember, was it major maim, minor main, something like that? I can see it on other players health bar too a lot.

    that visual effect is usually for an armor debuff

    the "infinite debuffs" show their visual effects, but dont functionally do anything (except buff you running the CP that gives you bonuses for negative effects lol)

    Not sure we are taking about the same thing. The one I mentioned is an infinite bug judging by the 49710 days on the character sheet and did specifically say take 5% more damage.

    Nope - I've had to leave and re-enter cyrodiil multiple times when stuck with an infinite 'walking through treacle' debuff. The stuck in combat one also does not appear to be visual because you can't mount and death dealer's fete is ticking along nicely all the time.
