No, Patch 1.0.6 did not address this issue. I have no clue what Zenimax was trying to fix, but obviously it wasn't a bug reported by players.

Good luck guys: we're stuck with this bug for good!

I AM SICK OF THIS!

Using Rapid Strikes will CONSTANTLY cause ALL skills on your bar to stop working. You cannot use anything. You have to reach over and hit "M" twice to get all of your skills back so you can fight -- and that doesn't even work all the time. You just stand there, break out the K.Y. and taking it in the tail pipe and die.

THIS IS GAME BREAKING, ZENIMAX - STOP IGNORING THIS BUG!

I do NOT understand WHY this is STILL being ignored by the game developers. I think I can honestly say I speak for a lot of us - WE'RE TIRED OF WAITING ON A FIX!

This bug alone is about to make me quit and find another game. I don't have to spend my $15 a month with laziness. This should have been addressed in BETA, but you ignored it then.

    When player uses Rapid Strikes:
    • Animation goes off, but no sound (indication you're about to lose all skills)
    • Animation goes off, but no damage (indication you're about to lose all skills)
    • Player will lose all ability to use any skills equipped
    • Pressing "M" twice will *sometimes* resolve the issues
    • Issue will continually come back in the same/next NPC/Mob fights

    Personally, I feel the game has far more important bugs to address, but it would be nice to have this one added to the 'to do' list.

    Just hang in there bro, this is a new game.

    Didn't realize that this bug was caused by rapid strike... no wonder it bugs out on me so much! LOL Although I've heard other classes have this problem as well.

    I'd have to agree, well said Zike.

    k, so throw this on the pile after all the other broken abilities and passives. Just because it affects you and others don't doesn't mean it's more important.

    I just had my butt handed to me by a rabbit because of this bug.

    Seriously though- fix this bug please as it really takes a great animated skill and just ruins the fun .

    Why would you just stand in one spot and let a rabbit kill you? You must have been after for hours while the rabbit scratched you for 1 HP per hit.

    If this is the case, you shouldn't leave your character afk botting because this will be what happens.

    Sounds like this guy needs a better botting script.

    Ahhh I just got this skill last night, didn't know it was this causing that issue...this bug was killing me. I think it may be fixed in the next patch?

    I read some patch notes for 1.1 and it doesn't look hopeful...

    This bug...Ohh this bug. Damn this bug to HELL!

    Today I had it happen several times again and it got me wondering:

    I wonder if this is related to the Full Screen Windowed Mode the game forces (currently the game does not support True Full Screen)

    It wouldn't surprise me, and likely.

    I wish the Zenimax employees spoke English so they would read our English forums :(

    On a side note:

    Ashen grip set special animation cancels Rapid strikes too.

    Rapid Strike bug on my Nightblade too. Sick of Dying.

    I am experiencing this bug too. You can hit "i" and switch your weapons by klicking the arrow. After that all your skills work again and you can switch back weapons with your defines key. But i died many times because of this so far. Hope it gets fixed soon

    reloadui also helped while i was using it, but damage meter says that i have more dps without rapid strikes anyway.
    I dont know what is worse...

    Fixed an issue that caused some Nightblade abilities to become unresponsive when you were engaged in combat with a large number of enemies.


    At work so someone test and reply ;)

    the patch update was not deployed.
    The maintenance is complete, and the European megaserver is now back online and available. However, due to an unforeseen issue during the maintenance, patch 1.0.6 was not deployed.

    As our team is We are currently investigating the issue encountered that prevented us from rolling out patch 1.06. The previously announced maintenance scheduled for on the North American megaserver is cancelled and will not happen for today, Tuesday the 29th of April 29th.

    The patch didn't go through today. There were problems and it was canceled. Probably going to be the downtime for later this week.

    There was an issue with the patch so it wasn't applied today.

    Well, it's nice to see it will be patched soon. BTW, pressing ESC twice quickly also breaks the unresponsiveness and is the quickest way to keep yourself from dying when this crops up.

    GUESS WHAT JUST BROKE AGAIN?

    RAPID STRIKES - NO SKILL

    I knew Zenimax wouldn't be able to fix this bug. Looks like we're stuck with it for good folks.

    its not just that skill, or perhaps its the way that skill triggers, but there are others that will create this effect as well.
    they were reported way back in early beta, ofc

    Ive abandoned my sorc and NB because of it and am levelling a workaround DK with a specific build to avoid the potential to freeze, so far so good with zero incidents

    Your beating a dead horse my friend. ZoS is aware of these bugs already. Making posts on the forums, rather then submitting bug reports is futile. Plus they have more important game breaking bugs to address before getting to the minor ones.

    Hang in there, eventually this issue will be corrected. Perhaps try a different class.

    This has gone on long enough guys! How are we supposed to believe this bug is back after being fixed if you don't post a video of it happening, or some other proof. I'm beginning to think you all are making this up.

    I almost ragequit today due to this death by slow motion, and have come to seek out answers to whats wrong.

    I was wondering why I got this combat freeze, and this seems to be the answer. On my dual-wielding Dragonblade I sometimes get a total freeze in using abilities - which leads to my character going into a slo-mo so I even won't be able to escape the attackers. After such freeze I keep moving like a zombie and have to relog to clear it out. I use the rapidstrikes ability, and it may be what triggers this. I'll log back on and remove the skill for now - and hope that there isn't anything else causing the problem.
    For one depending on DPS to survive a bug that freezes your abilities IS a gamebreaker. This need proper attention.

    After 1.0.6, ive actually been suffering from this more than before! Used to happen few times a day, but just now, before i logged off, it was happening even twice in the same fight.

    Its my favourite "spamming" skill, hope the bug is really fixed soon, its making Nightblade not so fun to play currently.
