Purge is Broken in vHoF

greytday137 · September 2022

We are progging TTT on PS/NA. Last night we had our first run post patch. Unfortunately, it seems that the "efficient purge" skill is broken in vHoF. We've seen posts on this in some of our discords as well. We are using purge on the first boss to cleanse the poison debuff placed by the spheres around the room. Instead of purging the debuff from players, purge was removing debuffs from enemies. Self purges, such as ritual from templars, the netch from a warden, and expunge and modify on a cro all remove the poison debuff. It is only the "purge" skill that is broken. This is a new issue post-patch.

Also trying to prog TTT. People are already a bit bummed and frustrated with figuring out how to get through content with this patch being so drastic.

Please fix purge!

I used to wear Curse Eater for the 1st boss as a bandaid, it helped a lot.

It is a huge problem for our group. Playstation/NA. We were close to TTT pre-patch. Tonight we progged how to slow burn the hunter killer chickens. 😞

Curse eater can work as sort of a bandaid but it doesn't change the skill being broken unfortunately. We are working around the issue, but its not just that its not getting rid of the poison dot, its also purging debuffs from the bosses, including major breach, minor breach, and taunt. The skill seems to be working elsewhere, so its something that needs to be evaluated unfortunately.

We have both healers in curse eaters, which sucks before patch didn't even need a barrier to get through HK. Now we are doing everything we can, but purge being broke is making the fight far more difficult. Keep hoping for a fix during maintenance, sad nothing was mentioned. Good luck to all the other TTTs out there! Been rough transition.

Yes, It is not working in veteran Halls of Fabrication.
I have logs from 2 previous weeks.
Purge may cleanse 1 person, meaning Purge must be spammed by at least 3 people in group to try and keep up the cleansing of the group. Extremely difficult to manage resources and deal with anything else that is happening during the fight.

Please address this issue.
Thank you in advance.

@ZOS_GinaBruno could we get an update on vhof? I had hoped to see it fixed in an incremental or in the new pts but I didn't notice anything. 😕

UnholyFrijole · September 2022

@ZOS_GinaBruno yes please. It's a big issue, especially in regards to purge in vHoF on the hunter killer and triplets. Purge is not hitting group members at all no matter how many times purge is used. Some class skills work. But it has made hunter killers extremely difficult on prog groups and potentially impossible for groups learning.

greytday137 · September 2022

@ZOS_GinaBruno We also have POVs where you can see the debuffs getting purged from the Hunter Killers, even with Nazaray initially extending the duration. My understanding is that this is also confirmed on ESO CMX logs as well. Happy to provide more information if it helps.

Can we have the issue addressed please?

UnholyFrijole · September 2022

Wait someone saying hello was grounds to delete a comment? Unless I missed something? In good faith I'll assume there was something worse than that...

And we are left with no update and no mention in patch notes again.

The people here are still pushing hard content despite the heavy changes from patch 35. Pushing ourselves despite the frustration and making the changes work.

Acknowledging there's an issue would go a long way. Or I mean at least tell us to suck it up cause it won't be fixed would also be helpful, as then prog groups can decide how to proceed.

Some communication on something that is preventing people from achieving something they've been working on for months and continued despite patch 35, would be nice.

Thank you.

Hi.

VampiricByNature · September 2022

I'm going to try to remember to continue to post here. Purge is still malfunctioning. We are 34/36 vital in our prog, continuing with one healer in curse eater. I think it would be easier for groups to put both healers in it tbh. We have dps focus the spheres.

For some people this is their first trifecta attempt. We are close and will get it but many groups have stopped their ttt progs or lost many members. This is one of my favorite trials to do, to make people realize they CAN do this level of content.

greytday137 · September 2022

Adding on to this as well. This is our groups first trifecta attempt, and we very nearly had to rip this prog. We've have found workarounds, but purge being broken is putting a big strain on the healers and causing a lot of stress. Can it be done? Sure. But there is no reason why the skill should be broken and purging debuffs from the bosses. We are having similar issues on the triplets (aka Reassembly Committee) with the fire dot.

greytday137 · September 2022

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_Kevin Hate to sound like a broken record here, but vHoF needs some love ASAP. In addition to purge eliminating debuffs from the Hunter Killers and not group members on the Hunter Killers, now Melting Point (the fire dot) has become a one shot on the Reassembly Committee AND purge isn't working on the triplets either. I know this is older content. I know there are updates happening all over the place. but this is causing serious issues, delay, and frustration to groups attempting to work through this content. An update would, as always, be much appreciated.

Purge also isn't working on first boss vka. It makes poison totems a real problem.

greytday137 · October 2022

Looking at the patch notes, it doesn't appear that Purge being broken has hit the radar yet. Is this an issue that is being looked into? Is there any status update on this?

vivisectvib16_ESO · October 2022

Any updates? Communication would be nice.

This sort of thing just shows the forum team are only interested in moderating the forums whether it’s moving to a more appropriate channel or removing comments rather than helping with game breaking bugs impacting player progress.

Forcing players to beg for updates is shocking. If people bash fine remove but at least don’t ignore the issue like it doesn’t happen.

Agreed. It's especially infuriating when the comms team comes back at players as if they don't know what the issue is. The issue is transparency. Especially w/r/t PAYING customers.

AmishDefector · October 2022

Has anyone heard anything about this being fixed? Its kind of weird that purge would prioritize purging enemies instead of allies as the tooltip states.
Looks like theres another thread about purge not working in vka as well. Ive submitted a few bug reports and a customer service ticket in game which hasnt lead to any changes or patch notes etc.
Its hard enough to get TTT when purge is working properly. I would love to see this addressed, or at least garner a response.
I have to question the accessabilty of vhof with purge not working.
Would love an update please.

vivisectvib16_ESO · October 2022

please update

vivisectvib16_ESO · October 2022

@ZOS_Kevin can you please help us? We just want to know that this is being acknowledged and looked at. Thanks!

VampiricByNature · October 2022

With each small patch I'm hoping to see a fix. Our team is usually *very* talkative and chaotic. Lately they've been getting quieter and quieter. Honestly, if we had a date on a fix it might give us hope.

AmishDefector · October 2022

Its really demoralizing. It would be nice to know if anyone at zos cares enough about their players to reply to such a detrimental bug.
This thread is a month old, the bug even older, this thread has almost 2k views. And zero response from devs.

AmishDefector · October 2022

(2k when combined with the other thread about purge in general being busted)

AmishDefector · October 2022

Perhaps they could nerf the damage over time of venom inject to accomodate purge targeting enemies instead of allies if purge is too difficult to fix?

greytday137 · October 2022

Another day, another run of vHoF where purge is still objectively broken. This week I've also submitted two bug reports in app. I know others are having the same issue. Ya'll got on the visual glitch about how long the Explorer Celebration was going to be going on for literally within minutes and on this, complete radio silence. Can ya'll even acknowledge the issue at this point.

Our run is still going. 2 deaths off right now. 1 death to purge on the chickens, 1 to the purge on the triplets. We try to just finish one run each evening so we don't destroy ourselves just resetting. [We clear in around 33-35 min. Then we reset on death for the remainder of the run time.]

The slow burn on the chickens is definitely harder. If we get a little too dps crazy, we kill ourselves when tons of spheres come out. It's the hardest if we have a sub who isn't necessarily convinced of the current state of purge. [On console, misinformation is crazy sometimes. The nefas video that just got released confirming the purge issue will help to diffuse some of the controversy.]
