Funniest bug you have encountered so far

Post » Mon Mar 03, 2014 10:17 pm

I'll start this off. Found it worth sharing.

I was in a group not too far away from the Banished Cells dungeon. I activated my Silver Bolt skill and flew faster than superman across the world, past what looked like the map, and landed in the ocean. There was no land around me that I could see in max distance settings, and my partys arrow icons were barely visible. When I was laughing about it in TeamSpeak, something in the water appeared to be eating me. after a few seconds I was dead, and I unlocked the "Devoured" achievment. I couldn't locate it in the achievment list, so not sure what it was for. Had the icon of a pirannah.

Yeah, so THAT happened.

What stories do you have?

In Cyrodiil, as I was running over open terrain, my character suddenly flung into the air (like I was hit by a giant in Skyrim) and wound up literally ragdolling through the air from Feragyl Keep (southern part of the map) all the way up near the Daggerfall Covenant border in the northwest (my group mates could see my indicator on the map travelling at light speed. :tongue:) Needless to say, when my character landed, I took lethal fall damage and died. I still have no idea what made it happen. Near as I can tell, I was just running over flat land.

-Travail.

I think this was pretty fun http://i.imgur.com/BqXkxYP.jpg

I was in an enemy outpost in my own shard.

If I had some siege equipment I could have soloed it :) But I was logged out, luckily I was sent back to my own keep.

next time joined up with our forces and was killed. Now I managed to finish my kill 20 enemy soldier quest while dead and trying to get respawned.

Using the Templar's Javelin Spell in Cyrodil and i Hit a Ebonheart Pact Player who was low health killing him, but the knockback effect sent flying back off the screen.

It was like I was the God of The Lighting and I just knocked someone off the planet.

In Daggerfall at the Keep I jumped on one of those crenellations (the teeth at the top of the castle) and was shot up into the air for a full 2 minutes, only to magically land in the harbor so I didn't hit land, a boat, rocks or slaughterfish (though in their defense, I don't think they were implemented yet) I /bug'd it and sent in a photo... but.... didn't photo the blue sky in the jump

I DID get a photo - buts its just my character and a blue sky.

Once I fell through the world - and fell and screamed and fell and cried and struggled ... and Tamriel above me got smaller and smaller until I was surrounded only by clouds. This only stopped when I typed /stuck to respawn at a waypoint after watching this for about 10 minutes.

A friend slipped through the stairs walking into a building and then stood on the sand below. Only his head could be seen in the room and he couldn't leave the building's area.

I didn't see things like that since Horizons - and that's a looong time ago.

Stairs, in general, were pretty buggy. I managed to kill myself due to fall distance by running down stairs that were are bit to steep and a bit too long. By the time I realized my character wasn't playing the running animation is was too late and... SPLAT!

Yeah, friend constantly looked like he was riding his horse by jabbing his foot in its spine, then riding the air like a Harley.

The same thing happened to me, but in Bleakrock Isle. I jumped over a static pile of logs at Deathclaw's Lair and got catapulted sky high, then hit the "roof" and rocketed down into the ocean, where I was then devoured by Slaughterfish :blink:

I spent a lot of time trying to climb mountains and find all the nooks and crannies at the edges of things. During a period where things were lagging/dropping, the UI froze mid-jump, so that I ended up with just my hands and feet stuck in a cliff wall. I looked like some weird metal bug.

I was in Cyrodil and we were retreating from a castle siege. I ran back to a friendly keep, checked the map, ran to another keep. Was watching the trebuchets start tearing down the wall when all of the sudden I got hit from a DK chain from behind, fly across the map to the keep I retreated from like 15 min ago, and die with nobody standing around me. Dat lag lol.

First beta in January I fell through the bridges in Stros M'Kai a few times. Mostly I have only encounted quest bugs since then. Like the man you have to call at the bottom of a mine by ringing a bell. Bell doesn't ring so I was trying to hit it with my axe.

Not a bug but I did land on/in a deer yesterday. Was leaping over some rocks and bits of ruins and I went down and landed right on/in this deer that was at the bottom of the rockface. Was just a bit strange that I didn't get any good venison for my troubles.

Funniest one for would have to be when I was sneaking around and another player ran through me and I fell through the floor.

In Cyrodiil by the fissures in Chorrol, I used my shield charge ability to attack one of the flame atronachs and I fell through the earth. I hit the bottom and died from falling damage, but resurrected with a soul gem. I was now able to walk underneath Cyrodiil. I could still see bits of the landscape and small specks of people standing around. When approaching buildings in the world above me, I could see the NPCs right in front of me that were supposedly inside.

Not a bug per say, but I just busted out laughing last night a couple of times. Once in PvP when the lag monster was raging I was button mashing like a fiend thinking I was actually doing something then got the death screen and about 20 error messages saying "You can't do that while dead!" So all that time I thought I was doing something I was really dead and didn't know it! Next time was when I was using a ballista on a Keep door. I'm firing away and seeing the Keep door health stuck at just about a quarter. I fire off a few more shots and then suddenly I catch up to the rest of the zone and my ballista fires off in rapid succession. Someone next to me who had just come out of the Keep says, "So... I guess you can stop shooting now." We had the Keep for I don't know how long but I was stuck in some crazy lag spike so just kept right on firing my little ballista!

Good times. :banana:

I saw people standing on horses as well. It seemed to happen when they were looking at their map.

I also fell through the ground once and was catapulted through the air a few times.
