Meteor Wars Online

Do I need to explain this? 3,2,1, five guys first wave of meteor pls! Second wave! Third wave! Damn this lag!
so basically this is what's happening in cyrodil...
Then the next wave of enemy train comes and uses it again.

Can this be stopped?

It also crashes entire groups of players. It just happened to our group.

This is the mmo with the least skill required on the market.

I don't know, aiming a meteor into a group of people is pretty strategic. Just ask the movie, Deep Impact.

Climb down from your rock, stop spamming jesus beam and join our duels.
Or what about small scale PvP?

It doesn't require any skill if you brainless follow a zerg or shoot soul assault and jesus beam on everything what moves.

Actually I think that skill makes a huge difference in PvP, just look at players like magica or doge.

Small scale? You mean taking a resource and nuttcupping NPC's for protection to hope to kill a few scrubs there before you get overrun?

This game is full on zerg full of silly abilities to negate pvp entirely for instance meteor, beam and soul assault. I've started using them to complete my quests then log out.

Well, he didn't actually say it doesn't make a difference. He said it's the MMO with the least skill required, which judging from PvP in 1.6 probably isn't that far from the truth. This obviously doesn't mean that skill is not a factor, as evidenced by players like Doge and Magica.

Is "nutcupping" futbol slang?

Well I mostly duel and skill is a huge factor there.
But please tell me which new MMOs actually need more skill (p2w Arche age?).
I think eso is more skill based than other games, at least in duels and small-scale (real small scale)
It's not like that our group is always at Ressources.. Gate, mountain, houses we using everything and that very successful as you probably know.

A long time ago I said removing aoe caps will not help with reducing lag or solving trains. Only way to do this is by introducing friendly collisions imo.

The game has not enough abilities like meteor bc ppl are still running around in idiot trains and in return complain that the game requires no skill (pressing 1 or 2 buttons over and over indeed does not).

I have yet to die to a meteor. Its complete rubbish against competent players i´d rather use soul assault and everyone knows that one is crap against someone capable of pressing the right button.

However is fun to pop it into a group of archers and watch 2 or three of those snipe scrubs instantly melt.

They did not remove caps but added more serverside calculations (6 nearest on cast - 24 next 50% dmg then 30 yadda yadda)... So everybody kind of knew their "cap removal" would not work?

I'm still running in small groups so it's hard to go against zergs without using meteor since you can't regen that much ulti anymore..however, they also have ulti and they all use meteor

And let us not forget that it wasn't some filthy reflective wings, or jesus beam, or dark cloak, or streak that wiped the dinosaurs. It wasn't even snipe.

It was meteor.

well i died several times to it thx to it creepy behaviour - rolling out of its impact area just to be warped back in or ignoring blocking and get caught in an cc denying every break attempt afterwards overwhelming my shields and hitpoints :P [bloody non existing resistence of light armor^^] but thats only a problem related to ice comet, shooting star is working fine though.

they did not remove caps they only increased cumputation numbers.
and no collision detection is the worst you can do as it would completly *** up the servers as it alone would multiply the number of computations the servers have to solve by factor 50-100

I agree with this, block doesn't seem to work all the time, I've been CC'd by the impact multiple times even though I was holding the block button. Damn thing is so irritating...

We have always been able to out-cloak a Meteor. However, we can now also out-cloak our Lord and Saviour Jesus Beam!
