Nightblade CC unbreakable?

thomaswinkworthb16_ESO

Every now and then I get jumped from stealth by a Nightblade and I cannot break the CC, I spam LMB+RMB for like 3-4 seconds but nothing happens.

Needless to say, I die

EDIT! Read here

I just got hit by molten fist or stone fist from DK and couldn't break CC for the whole duration with full stamina bar...

Try blocking when you hear the sound of the ambush ability start.

The game isn't quick enough for that, if you want to block CC you have to be blocking at least 0.5 seconds before

If i ambush you and then mold cripple into it. Your cc locked. Its not just nightblades though. DK's do it with shield charge talons and sorcs do it with encase crystal fragments. Mainly this happens because the system doesnt know which CC you need to break, the stun or the root, resulting in CC lock.

There are many audio cues. I am usually able to block ambush, dodge roll out of the way of shield charge and pop reflective scales when I hear the audio cue for snipe, etc.

lol the audio cue for snipe is like 1.5-2 seconds before it lands, ambush audio cue is like 0.5 seconds

There's another NB exploit getting around that stunlocks you from range. We found a player doing it and got the same result every time. It does not involve Ambush as the player sits at range and just spams flying blade after stunlocking you and there's not a thing you can do.

I play a NB and have not figured out what's going on yet as I've only encountered this guy a few times but you can bet if it's an exploit and not a true hack there will be others doing it now.

I'm not even sure it's NB specific but I do know this guy (who used this exploit on a number of us) is a NB. It's hard to tell what the opening move is as there's no animation or audio to give a clue and the blade spam hides it from deathrecap.

Guys, this is impossible. Didn't you read the latest patch notes?!

"Automatic crowd-control immunity and crowd-control break immunity will now protect you from the same types of crowd-control."

Oh wait..they removed our ability to break out of this CC, so I guess we'll just sit here stunned until the next patch.

Hotfix? Not likely, a hotfix from Zenimax might result in the deletion an entire class.

Yes generally it is very unresponsive, I love the game but for some reason the lag or ability use responsiveness is one of the worst I have experienced in any mmo.

Strangely it also tends to vary a lot, usually it just feels sluggish, sometimes it is a total mess, and rarely there are these moments of clarity when my character responds to my control beautifully. Why?

This sums up my experience with the game. I can experience whole days of smooth, responsive fun then.. clunky, laggy, microfreezing instadeaths for days.

I would have chalked the NB stunlock I mention above to that kind of lag except that my allies experienced exactly the same thing from the same player. Perhaps he was just testing the bug before reporting it... over and over and over... :P
