Food Vanishing or Losing 1 Hour from Duration when Porting Into and Out of a Trial

guarstompemoji · April 23

What it says. Multiple group members reporting. No setups were changed. Anyone else encountering this issue?

It's not just in trials, it happens randomly in overland content, delves, and dungeons.
Not sure about PvP as I don't really go into those zones much.

Can confirm - very annoying

This bug is costing us a lot of gold.

Happened to me a couple times when porting into a dungeon - the foods affected (if it matters) were witchmother's potent brew and jewels of misrule. It was not just a UI issue, as the health / resource / recovery buffs from the food were actually missing.

Xbox NA. Was working on trifecta pulls in Black Gem this past Sunday night Eastern time. We all ate fresh going into the first run and the tank had Smoke Bear Haunch. Upon going in for the second run, all four of our foods were missing. We re-ate for the same food which upset the tank as he had to eat another expensive food. On the third run, the same behavior occurred, but this time the tank said, fool me twice, I'm eating for Jewels now. But the strangest thing happened on our 4th run... all of our original food returned. The tank was back in Smoked Bear but the time left on it was if he had been in it all along.

I have had food disappear on me when finishing a group dungeon and porting out to reset it and back in. This was just a few days ago.

I have also logged back into a PvP character that left Cyrodiil the day before and was fairly certain I had food remaining when I logged out, but it was gone the next time I logged back in. I can’t be as certain about that one as the previous case where it vanished just 10-15 minutes after a quick and easy normal dungeon run.

Updating that this bug is (apparently) old. However, it seems to occur more frequently, now, and to more at once.

I really don't like to do this, but.

@ZOS_GinaBruno Sorry to tag you.

Adding two additional data points:

On Wednesday, June 10, on PC/EU, I was doing pledges with friends. The first two pledges went by without incident, but when we entered the third dungeon (Depths of Malatar), all of our food buffs disappeared.

On Sunday, June 14, on PC/NA, I was running Rockgrove from 6 to 8AM EDT.

I ported into the trial and consumed a 2-hour drink (that lasts for 2h50m due to CP and provisioning passives)
After clearing the trial, I ported home to recharge ultimate while the trial instance was being reset. Drink was still active in my home.
Upon porting into the new trial instance, most (but not all) people (including me) reported losing their food buffs. (No idea what was different about the people who did not lose their buffs.)
After clearing the second trial instance, the instance was again reset and I ported into the third trial instance (this time directly from the old instance into the new since I did not need to charge my ulti). This time, most people (including me) noticed that their food buff duration was significantly reduced. However, I noticed that the remaining duration on my food buff was consistent with what the original drink that I consumed at the start of the first instance would've had if it hadn't disappeared, and so I believe that the food buff that I had in the third instance was actually a restoration of the original buff that disappeared.

So, in summary: enter instance 1 -> consume drink 1 -> enter instance 2 -> drink 1 disappears -> drink 2 consumed -> enter instance 3 -> drink 1 reappears, replacing drink 2

This is similar to post #6 where the missing buff just reappears.

It's almost as if the second instance failed to both load the drink buff when entering and save the drink buff when leaving.

Tonight in Opulent Ordeal, happened to two players.
PS/NA.

@ZOS_Kevin @ZOS_GinaBruno Can we get some acknowledgement that this is known? Thanks.

Fischblut · June 16

I had a food buff disappearing (and then randomly reappearing one time) when I traveled between many different delves in base game maps

I never had that happen before Update 50.

Emeratis · June 21

Had this happen several times again yesterday porting in and out of vlc for a gearfarm. I've had it in other places but never this consistently happening. Other players had it happen too, but some were unaffected so I don't know if this will help narrow down the bug but it still is out there and happening sometimes fair warning.

birdmann1230 · June 23

Has happened with battlegrounds too.

DragonRacer · June 23

Our TTT prog has been experiencing this the last several weeks. Port out to reset instance, port back in and fresh 2-hour food is gone. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the original food comes back randomly after another instance reset. Very strange.

Finisherofwar · June 23

I can confirm I've encountered this bug dozens of time in update 50 when I queue into battlegrounds. Please fix it zos.
