Hi I just finished reading the patch notes. Maybe I missed it but I didn’t see any mention. Has anyone went in to see if purge has been fixed in vHoF yet?

SteamKitten01✭✭✭I can confirm that purge is fixed in vHoF on PC. Did a run on Sunday and purge worked as intended.

✭✭✭✭✭based on codes explanation of what is happening in the bug thread: purge is capped at 6 targets, but it does not prioritize targets well, so it will only hit the same 6 people on every cast and suggested the strat where the group splits in half and burns down the twins separatelyplays PC/NA

Just use two people with purge?
if you split into 2 groups of 6 and stay on opposite sides of the area
if your stacked into a single group thats where it doesnt work well, because the targets chosen by purge might overlap between 2 people casting it, and the issue that seems to happen is that the purge picks the same target every time and doesnt prioritize targets
if you have 12 people stacked, theoretically 2 people with purge would cover everyone, but with how things work both people casting purge could be hitting 4/5/6 of the same people, leaving the remainder of the group under their own purge power for the entire fight
if you split into 2 groups then purge doesnt have to choose between random targets because it only has 6 targets to choose from
linked here are the posts from code which better explain the issue in the original bug thread

✭✭✭✭✭Yeah, this is something that the PvP community has had to struggle against for years. There are stealth target caps on most AOE buff, healing, and debuff abilities found in the game.
They are EXTREMELY COMMON and most players don't even realize it. It's the same for sets as well - many of them are capped at 6 targets.
Why ZOS provides basically zero documentation for the actual mechanics of abilities (including basic information such as target caps) is a mystery that only they know the answer to.Edited by YandereGirlfriend on November 3, 2022 2:50AM4 -

✭This is not good or correct information. Self purge also doesn’t work in Halls… neither does curse eater, neither does the cp slottable.0
