ZOS needs to implement damage squares to help the circle-blind. Apprarently the problem is more serious than we thought.

UntameableAngel

Ahaha, great video! This was probably the most entertaining 2 minutes I've spent on these forums.

Definitely some legendary quotes in this..


"WHAT, DO YOU NOT SEE THE CIRCLE?" "NO - I DID NOT SEE IT, OKAY!"

"That is bad circle. THAT IS A BAD CIRCLE!"

"Get out of stupid. Don. DON!" "I can't get out of stupid, it's following me!"

"JIMMEH!"

"God, you guys are really good!"

"Jim, you just ran INTO a circle!"


The final fight clip takes the cake though.

Pure gold.


I propose Jim changes his name to something more fitting!

Prefer cosmetic items to ones that actually grant armor? Do you loot during combat? Do people frequently leave your voip channel when you join? Do you frequently AFK during raids? Do you have absolutely no idea how to play your class? Perhaps you are one of the "Differently Geared".

In the first episode of the series, the "Differently Geared" bring you, Standing in Stupid.

I'll post my cooking series where I recreate the recipes of ESO in my kitchen. It features a real tiger, two strippers, and me. Good watch.

Omg that was so fricken funny! We have a guildie that I swear he thinks candy spawns in the red. I wish I would have recorded a VCoH run ..

Red - I can't help it something comes over me in combat...
My healers response "yea what comes over you is death you dumba$$"

Bawahahaha! But he's ours so we just make sure we have plenty of soul gems!

So funny LOL.

To be fair to Jim though, quite a few of those deaths were practically insta-gibs from the red circles, he dies almost as soon as they appear, and something I've noticed (and it's even in that video) sometimes the red circles only appear as a very thin red outline instead of a solid circle, that makes them quite hard to see, especially if you have poor eyesight which I have, I often miss the circles when that happens.

But yeah some of those deaths were simply not reacting quick enough and perfect examples of LOLWTF moments.

Sidenote: oh wow averaging at 16fps, how can you play like that? I get stressed if my FPS drops below 50, although anything above 30fps is perfectly playable, anything below that and I can't play.

this is what eso has become

Ohhh Jim...

Nice video ahha

That's basically how it looks like when I solo normal world bosses with my stamina builds when it's more than 1 boss.. after the IC update. I see more red circles and death caps than ever before. Result: I don't play my stamina characters anymore, I simply got tired of this.

azoriangaming

haha awesome video reminds me of so many of my runs.

We have a nb guildie who tries to aggro tank and solo a vet boss standing in stupid. And shuts his mic off if we tell him to move and turns it on to complain we didn't heal him... he seems to think he's wielding a bow given by akatosh himself that will anime style kill a boss in a single shot followed by a spirit bomb explosion...

effin' res circles man~
ahaha oh wow

There are a lot of frustrations for a healer inside a dungeon.
- People standing in stupid.
- Your whole team deciding to attack a different add, all in opposite corners of the room.
- People not blocking heavy attacks after which they expect you to heal them.
- "ow, you use healing springs... EVERYONE, SPREAD OUT".
- "Lord Warden has 4 shadows, lets all attack a different one".
- "If he heals enough we can keep standing inside stupid".
- "I use a bow and spam snipe, so why do expect me to stay close to you... Also, heal this damage the Adds deal to me".

A few days ago i helped some level 13 guys through Banished Cells (I'm VR16). Didn't do any fighting, only taunted a boss if that was needed. Just dropped down Purifying ritual, Rapid Regeneration and used Vigor to keep them alive when they fought.
In the end, at the last boss, they didn't even bother stepping out of the red zones because my healing healed them for so much they wouldn't even die.
Might have created a future "Jim" because of that.

This is why I don't group. I'm Jim.

Yup, as you say there are a lot of frustrations for healers, but on the flip side if you're a good healer you can ignore many of those frustrations. At least in ESO you don't have to worry about targeting those you want to heal, everything's group or area based so instead of "see low health, switch to target, heal" it's, "keep an eye on health and heal heal heal".

Thank you for pointing out why I don't count myself as an MMO player. You people are too judgmental and you want everyone to play a specific way.

I'd rather not complete content than to put up with people like that.

Dunkmeister

It's so funny cause we've all been there. Great video! Thanks for posting it.

maxjapank

Very funny! I can hear everyone start using the phrase, "Don't be a Jim! " " oh no! He did a Jim again!"
