    Also nirnhurn crux or however you spell it ignores 100% of enemy resistance, fix immediately.

    Remember how long they waited to fix the sharpened trait bug that did this exactly? I think it was 7-8 months. Only thing that helped was not too many knew about it...

    We are investigating this issue now, folks, and appreciate your continued reports. If you don't mind, to help with with our investigating, please let us know:
    1. Are you using addons? Does this issue happen without addons?
    2. What server are you on?
    3. Is there a specific campaign in which you're not seeing the icons or is it happening in all campaigns?
    If anyone happens to have a video, please don't hesitate to post it here so that we can take a look! We understand the frustration and we do appreciate your patience.

    1. With and without addon's.
    2. NA
    3. Haderus, Chillrend, Thornblade

    4. Sometimes they're working, and upon entering combat they will disappear and stay gone even through multiple reloads of the entire client.

    This IS gamebreaking for PVP, especially since we have no new content since beta. Wheeler has got some explainin' to do.

    Problem is with settings.txt here's what worked for me. The bug occurred after a long loading screen (that I alt-f4'd) out of. Usually I /camp and quit the game properly (to avoid any changed options mishaps.)
    • Rename Settings.txt to something else (Settings-old.txt)
    • Start the game.
    • Exit the game after gamma setting configuration (I didn't even load up a character)
    • Delete newly created Settings.txt
    • Rename Settings-old.txt back to Settings.txt
    • Make yourself a strong drink and get back into the chaos.

    I've had this issue but I fixed it.

    1. I'm using add-ons.
    2. North America
    3. I play exclusively on Lagblade Thornblade because campaign hoppers are bad people.

    How did I fix it? Someone suggested the following in another post:

    1. Disable alliance indicators/health indicators (This step probably isn't necessary but I did it).
    2. Quit the game completely. (ALT-F4)
    3. Delete UserSettings.txt from the ESO live directory under My Documents.
    4. Log back into the game.
    5. Go back into your settings and re-enable health bars and alliance indicators.

    This worked for me and I haven't had an issue for several days now.

    I play mostly on one character so I don't switch characters often (Just in case that's a contributing factor).



    My PvP guild and I have been using this fix (though we haven't been deleting the user settings)... Works fine and doesn't seem to happen again.

    Though after saying that I will log on later only to find them gone again!

    PvP Gamebreaker

    PvP is currently experiencing a game-breaking bug. Enemy icons have disappeared and desynced from enemy players.

    While this doesn't stop or hamper use of your abilities, it has destroyed the immersion of the PvP experience. You cannot easily discern who is friend or foe.

    I do NOT run add-ons, so this is NOT an add-on issue. This is something new. I have logged in and out repeatedly, shut down the game, cleaned registry etc. There is no fix from the user/client side that I'm aware of.

    I spend 97% of the game in PvP. We need a hotfix for this ASAP.

    @ZOS_BrianWheeler @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_GinaBruno
    Same thing happened to me last night. I had to exit the game and reload to get them back. It wouldn't be so bad if Thornblade didn't have a queue of 97.

    This was reported on the PTS back on February 17th.

    You need to understand how annoying it is (especially to PvPers) when things are reported on the TEST server, not fixed in Live and then you guys act surprised when we report them again.

    Same exact thing happened with the Radiant Destruction bug. I haven't looked, but I bet that someone also reported the nirnhoned ignoring 100% spell resist.

    VERY frustrating.

    1. Brian your posts don't show up on the dev tracker :( is there anything Jessica or Gina can do about this? Might be why people didnt see you answering stuff as much over the last few months. Don't know if this is the same for the other devs?

    2. Can you ask the UI team on an ETA? this bug is perhaps even more frustrating than the lag.

    3. Also before 17th could you give us some update on the status of lag and queues in PVP. Many people are worried that with the influx of new and returning players with the B2P system servers will be even more unplayable with lag then they already are. Also queues will be massive without incentives to play on low pop servers. It would be helpful if you or someone in your team could give us some sort of weekly / fortnightly update of what you are doing to improve lag / any ideas you could have us test on PTS. As you saw from the last PTS event we broke the servers in under 5m. I'm sure people would be willing to spend 30m a week testing lag on PTS. You don't even need to have the whole dev team playing just a few on each side etc.

    Note: returning players from PVP guilds want to see an improvement. Its frankly embarrassing to have to answer to them when they come back asking "how is lag / gameplay now bugs gone?"... "Well no its actually worse... but its still fun come back :<?" We have got some back into the game but its hard to keep them when people want to see improvements. B2P will be a big time to get people to come back and try it again. I hope there is something for us to say to them when they do?

    The fix I have used for this is to turn off healthbars option. Quit the game. Reopen game and turn on healthbars. The group icons, healthbars and alliance indicators come back for me doing this.

    Played for 2-3 hours, no issues.
    Lagged out and disconnected; upon relogging to my death screen, could see players all around with the appropriate indicators.
    Upon reviving my character, the indicators vanished.

    Let's also not forget that sometimes you get locked out of using potions when the cooldown is down. This was a bug from PTS which patch notes said was fixed. It's in live right now, and not at all fixed...

    1 -- Even without addons, but I use Wykkyds and a few trade and craft addons
    2-- NA
    3 -- Thornblade

    Others need to relog, but for me it seems to phase in and out in the middle distances mostly.
    Could I suggest that you all start playing in Cyrodiil so you actually see what is going on?

    I hadn't thought of that... ZOS, now you need to fix this! It breaks my immersion if the enemy can see my icon.
    Did you hear that? Breaks my immersion.


    Unfortunately, we run large pvp groups, and it is extremely disruptive to our raids for people to be constantly leaving to repair, especially when there is a queue to get back in.
