Dear ZOS,

Since you have decided to suck the soul out of my game play experience........ can you at least FINALLY fix the weapon surfing bug that you SAID you fixed several patches back?

    What is weapon surfing?

    its a bug that occurs during weapon swapping where the weapon you should be holding disappears from your hands and the one you swapped from teleports under your feet.

    I use an addon that fixes it. :/ Unfortunately I’m not on my pc to see what it’s called. But i guess if you’re on console, you’re SOL. Sorry. :s

    It can generally be avoided by never porting to a new zone/into a dungeon while you are on your backbar. If you always tp on your frontbar, it usually won't happen.

    That being said, this should not be a thing players have to actively deal with themselves.

    Meanwhile you can "hide polymorph helmet" even on console to not deal with the bug. Don't ask me why it works, it's zos.

    What's coming in 2023 to ESO!:

    Weapon Surfing! A great new minigame where you can compete with both NPCs and other players alike. That's right, we are introducing Weapon Surfing! You will race others on your chosen weapon for the top prize. No more riding your boring old mounts. No more running everywhere. Ride your weapons!

    Summary:

    This is a new feature (albeit very early), not a bug!

    Yep, can confirm this is a decent fix. This goes for doors on houses, literally anything that makes you fade to black for a second.

    I just thought it was because my sword wanted to look up the skirt of my Bosmer.

    This^

    And I've also found that if I go through a loading screen with my backbar equipped, to get my frontbar weapon back I have to unequip my frontbar weapon (my bow) and re-equip it again.

    I've actually had this happen at least once that I can remember, the weapon was a bow iirc and just zoomed along the ground under my Mount.

    This bug has been fixed and reappeared idk how many times over the years, it's amazing haha.

    For anyone wondering how to fix it, update your appearance, unequip and requip the weapon or hide and unhide your hat from the collections menu, change outfits ect ect. I put hide helmet on my quickslots for easy use when the bug appears.

    There's an addon called Clutch on Minion that almost flawlessly fixed this issue for me. In all the months I've had it installed, I think this bug has happened just one time. It hasn't been updated in a few years but works super well for me.
