Armor set bonuses only working when keys are mapped to default

Blackout_STi · June 2014

I was trying to get the final 'God of Schemes' quest to work when I stumbled upon this little gem of a bug... I have a 5-piece Ashen Grip set and a 3-piece Death's Wind set equipped. I tried the quest like three or four times. Someone told me to try to remap my keys (controls) back to default (to see if that would let me trigger the special ability that makes Molag Bal release you. Well, that fifth time through the quest (after setting keys to default mapping), I noticed that all of the sudden, my toon was spitting fire and knocking back enemies when I was low on health. I do no know how I missed this before. Wasn't paying attention. So long story short, it appears some set bonuses to not work unless your keys are set to the default mappings. How does this even happen? Can someone verify this for me? I get the magicka recovery just fine, but the breath fire and knock back bonuses only work with default keys...

What keys did you remap? Did you remap the 'E' key?
There was a bug a while back in early beta when items that 'triggered' stuff (like armor sets) triggered a hidden command via the E key.

So there was a hidden pop up "(Please E to trigger this armor set effect)"
And then E gets auto 'clicked' and the armor set triggers.

This was for 'testing' the armor and code then gets hidden (and should be removed when goes into prod)

Maybe they only hide it and not removed the 'E' command.

I have remapped keys and had a ashen grip set on PTS and the fire breathing effect worked just fine.

I haven't made one on live yet, but if this is the case, that that would really be a major bug.

I suspect a *lot* of people remap their keys!

Does it happen remapping the 'R' key? I remap it to '7' to get away from accidentally setting off my Ultimate. And does this only happen with the OP Molag Bal quest?
