well you'd think this would be the forum to talk about PvP issues since it is the alliance war forum. but whatever gets the job done.

I went through the forum and bumped every Caltrops thread , its staggering that with 8 separate threads, huge views and comments there has not been an official update since 'will be fixed after Craglorn'.

This is ruining pvp.

Unlike some threads , such as the 'bolt' ones where there are arguments for and against I have not seen one post that does not want a fix for caltrops.

As its clearly not working as intended what's taking so long to fix it, disable it on a temporary basis, patch it, tell us when you will patch it- but do something, the silence is very annoying...

Please bump this if u don't mind , we may all eventually get a comment ...

ZOS Logic:

Exploit in PVE where there is no competition: Perma-Ban for exploiting
Exploit in PVP where competition and balance keeps it alive: Awarded AP for exploiting

Along with caltrops and mercenaries, I'd also point out an issue with oils. A single player - vampire can abuse vampire invisibility to push through a zerg of players, drop and oil pot behind them and burn them fast, then quickly mist again onto another location and oil burn again - then repeat the process of using oils while being invisible and practically invulnerable. If the vampire is an emperor on top of that, he can oil spam kill entire groups without them being able to even scratch him.

And there's also blinker sorc. abuse. A single sorcerer can blink into a group, stun them all and blink away (escape) unharmed without a scratch. One player having fun provoking groups that can't do much about it unless they get a lucky root on him.

I must say I noticed a massive drop in number of players joining PvP these days. Can't remember the last time Auriel (EU) was locked full to be honest.

If a player drops oil, and you stun them in the act the oil will not do any damage. There is no way to drop oil while not being visible.

Anything gets fixed in time, I was hoping for a more specific, days , weeks, months type of answer, surely an estimated fix date is not to much to ask ?

This guy is a pve mage and sees the ESO world as a bright and shiny place.. He also enjoys chatting to those flying characters stealing your mats since no one in his guilds will talk to him, so no need to rush them out of the game either.. *giggle*

This is really horrible response time.

This isn't some minor balance issue or an obscure bug.

Its a wide spread exploit that is entirely ruining PvP in this game.

Still no official comments.
