BUT HOW ELSE WILL THEY MAKE THE "PVP" UPDATE SAFER FOR PVE CAREBEAR FARMERS TO WAIT FOR THE ZERG!

RobboEU

sort this out

So you want ZOS to get rid of the only way to protect players from dieing while in the loading screen pretty much. Wasn't there a thread just as "silly" as this a few weeks ago. Want to gank go out into Cyrodiil and try real pvp were the players can actually fight back or is that to hard for you?

The safe zones at the bottom of ladders are needed in my opinion. Been killed too many times before I even load in.

However that being said they are currently a little screwed up. If you load in with enemy faction it's like a game of chicken with players running out and back into the safe zone drawing mobs and trying to gank and just generally playing like tools. All this because you can leave and re enter the safe zone.

Simple solution...safe zone applies when you load in. The minute you leave you cannot re enter. Problem solved

I was so confused when I first ran down some sorc who tried to gank me and ran to the ladder...

Yep, because this happens when gankers are close of be ganked....protection anti ganking, turns in protection for gankers.....

Arena District Ladder in Thornblade EU Ps4....yellow gankers in safe zone when a huge group of reds come back to alliance base....

But seriously, it's people like you why these safe zones exist.

Edit: I was probably a bit harsh, but god damn I hate nightblades.

In Ps4, Thornblade, is normally full red, and some blues and yellows gankers come to IC for ganking reds in ladders

This yellows was there ganking reds....but they run away to safe zone of the ladder when we come....look to the guy laughing in the right side....

I am not a ganker, so maybe you needs to think (and read my last comment, not only look into a pic of hidden NB ) two times before to talk stupidities....

If you hate NB, the problem is yours, not mine

Leave the room with the ladder in it..."problem" solved

Solution seems pretty simple to me. You can't gain the invulnerability while in combat. Would protect people zoning, but not people who run back to the ladder trying to exploit safe zone.

A 7 or 10 second immunity timer for when you enter the zone would be good enough. Ample enough time to decide if you wanna gtfo or not.

They already tried something like that I know because I heard the sound sometimes and it would always force me out of sneak it wasn't enough because loading screens where way too long and varied resulting in...you know what.

That's exactly my thought

remilafo

oh i though this was going to be about those little spots in the water which are safe..

Lava_Croft

Every single *** you have nearly dead will run to one of these safe zones to regenerate his resources.

Yeah, one less reason to ever visit the IC again besides grinding for mats.

I dont understand why the safe zone buff works without accessing the ladder.

Its fine to have the safe zone buff after you come down the ladder but after you move/use a skill the buff should disappear after 5 seconds.

@ZOS_BrianWheeler please consider these changes, its destroying the little pvp thats left in the sewers.

If you go into IC, you should know what you're getting into. The immunity is necessary for people to enter without dying before they load, but once they leave the area or cast a spell, they should not be able to run back and be kept safe.

The immunity is being abused at the moment, because it was poorly implemented.

There can be better implementations of this. It's not black or white.

Not exactly. Given the current layout with ladders, they were almost necessary to avoid ladder camping.

The real solution? Gate access to the ladders depending on who controls the districts..... but that is another discussion.

Edit: Oh and of course remove the safe zones once this is done.

I don't disagree, but my statement isn't false.

Imagine this...
An Imperial City campaign...

No CP...
No pve monsters...
No pve bosses...
Capturable districts...

We need more reasons to go in IC. Safe zones are ok, you have enough opportunity to catch/kill players outside safe zones.

Zimm

I can't stand those f***ing things. Even when I'm the person grinding I'll have a NB come up on me, they atk me, get stuck in Defensive Rune, I apply curse and start my weave for that Frag Proc and what do they do? B-Line for the closest f***ing ladder. I don't mind someone trying to kill me in the sewers, I pretty much only play PvP and the risk of the sewers is more fun to me than grinding mats in Wrothgar, but those infernal ladders. The gankers just sit there waiting for you to go back to grinding and follow you, the second you put them on the defensive they run right for it. Smh.

I had one that claimed to do 1vX, but in reality he just ran for the safe zone each time. I love it!

Gotta admit, when someone told me this was a thing I thought I was being trolled. Turns out this was apparently actually implemented. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.
