Do you want the gap closer snare removed?

Lava_Croft

The existence of this poll should be an indication of my personal preference, let's see the preference of the voters.

[EDIT] Gap closer snare is a 75% snare for .75 seconds applied to your target whenever you use any gap closer. This effect has no counter and no visual cue. It is not a specific snare tied to an ability, like the snare from Lotus Fan.

thankyourat

Yes.

Get rid of it. It's a horrible mechanic

Bakven

Yes.

Almost everything snares now. It's ridiculous, I feel like I'm playing in slow motion. And that's without the lag added to it.

Bandit1215

Yes.

It is the worst feeling when you are trying to go somewhere, your character freezes for a second, and then you die to 10+ crit rushes.

lolo_01b16_ESO

Yes.

It should be removed or at least reworked in a way that snare immunity prevents those snares. It's just horrible when you have stun and snare immunity and still loose controll over your movement thanks to players spamming gab closers on you.

hobicabobjob

Yes.

Absolutely. It doesn't even make sense why I'd slow down to wait for someone to catch up to me. The negative experience it brings is one of the most frustrating things in ESO to me.

Ashamray

Yes.

Zeni wrote snares help gapcloser to impact. Pretty sure it won't be removed.

I remember them saying this. The problem is when the target is sprinting away-- the gap closer lands at the former location of the target. Same thing happens when you rolldodge an incoming gapcloser, or gap close at the same time to eachother.

I think missing a gapcloser to a sprinting target is reasonable and would much rather this happens than the current system.

Sanct16

Yes.

At the very least make it so you can't be snared by gapclosers while you are IMMUNE to snares. There is hardly anything more annoying than using mistform which makes you IMMUNE to snares and get snared anyway - because "Get Wrobel'd"

Vaoh

Yes.

Currently all gapclosers have a hidden tooltip.

It reads: "Snare target by 60% for 0.75 seconds. This effect cannot be purged or negated in any way."

Sounds stupid to me. One of the worst Dev ideas ever implemented.

Get rid of it.

NBrookus

Yes.

I like being gap closed spammed to death while in mist form. Don't you?

Dredlord

Yes.

But ONLY if you are already immune to snares because of a different ability ie. shuffle rapids mist etc.

altemriel

No.

nope

The_Protagonist

No.

The gap closer snare of NB teleport attack is the only saving grace of the class, I really don't care about the other classes, but don't even dare remove that NB Ambush snare ZOS

hobicabobjob

Yes.

We're not talking about a snare as a bonus effect. We're talking about how all gap closers apply an unpreventable snare while during the cast-time.

FriedEggSandwich

Yes.

Afaik it was never asked for and was a solution to a problem that occurred infrequently enough that the solution became more of a problem. Idk why gap closers can't work like frags; homing missile. My frags manages to reach its target over any sort of terrain without snaring the target.

FriedEggSandwich

Yes.

@Lava_Croft I have a suspicion the 16% of yes no voters has been inflated by people thinking the poll is about supplementary snares and probably not knowing about the global gap-closer snare. Either that or some people never get zerged down.

edit for error correction

GreenSoup2HoT

Yes.

The gap closer snare only really effects me when i get zerged down. The odd time you will get an ambush spammer on you but its warranted because they probably died to your blade many times.

Skitttles

Yes.

Why would anyone want to keep it lol

Jaronking

Yes.

I want it removed but more than likely like AOE caps ZoS will say its affects PVe in a bad way which is BS but its what they will say.

oibam

Yes.

Better: Snare target for 0.1 seconds.

HoloYoitsu

Yes.

InB4 Wrobel never replies.

Cathexis

Yes.

The worst thing ever implemented in the entire history of the game.

Gap closer is a gap closer
snare is a snare.

Could we have combo
push+snare [healer]
pull+root [tank]
gapclose+speed [DD]

then have
speed buff stack = snare/root debuff unstack
snare/root buff stack = speed debuff unstack

Or keep gapclose, push, pull, root, speed, snare separate

Joy_Division

Yes.

Going out on a limb there aren't you?

mtwiggz

Yes.

Gap closer snare should have never existed in the first place. Smart pathing is something in a lot of games, should also be in this one. If you use a Gap Closer on a target you should end up at where that target is, not where it was.

Their cheap fix to not spending time working on a proper mechanic like this was to include the snare. More cheap fixes, less viable gameplay - the ZoS way.

@Wrobel @ZOS_RichLambert

RinaldoGandolphi

Yes.

Well your able to gap closer down a horse so......

yes you read that right...in ESO your toon can run down a horse on foot...because EVERYONE is a faster runner then Usian Bolt....:(
