Looks like the 'skilled' people have found a new crutch.

EDIT: Thought I recognized a name from an incident in the past. Lo and behold...

Edit: this sort of talk means players don't take you seriously when there really is an exploit going around.

The sound effect though, dear god, nerf the sound effect, nothing else in the game is that loud.

Did you watch the clip? I believe the comment you are replying to may be implying the user is exploiting. The tarnished did hit 30k. Update just landed on xbox but I may have to try it now 🤣

Yea my bad I only read the 2nd post, which was from a player who really needs to learn the lesson from The Boy Who Cried Wolf when it comes to this stuff. Tarnished doing 29k doesn't sound right at all lol, heres a screenshot from the video.

Since update I was twice in Imperial City and both times I was killed multiple times by some nightblade (don't know if it was the same person) which used some wild combo with merciless resolve and Tarnished set. He one-shoted or almost one-shoted me many times using bow!

So it looks like now you can be bombed from distance.

I like this set for PvE fun build but it should be damage for non-player character only, because it's just broken in PvP and nerfing this to ground it's also not a solution.

Seems there's more than a few folks using a new exploit to make this thing overperform. Which is bad no matter what the gaslight brigade claims.

A pity ZOS isn't more aggressive in disabling sets that are doing things they're not meant to do. It'd make it easier for the legitimately skilled players to stand out from the one's who give them a bad reputation.

Please don't talk about "skill" if you think a 7k tooltip in a 35k+ hp meta is a problem.

It's got literally bugged interaction with proxy det and it's morph's, it's got nothing to do with perception of skill of people using procsets. However there's a ton of bombers now abusing it in PvP

Yea like I said above, my bad, there's apparently an exploit involving Proxy Det, here's another thread showing it, looks like the same group of players doing it too. I don't want anyone banned, just fix the bug ZOS.

This is also why you don't cry cheats every time you can't figure something out. Nobody takes you seriously when real exploits happen. It's the lesson from the children's story The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

Nobody's crying wolf, there's an exploit and people are abusing it. I've reported it before even creating this forum account. It needs to get traction and fixed fast coz it's disruptive for PvP gameplay.

You're missing some context but it's not really on topic, yes this should be fixed ASAP before it spreads.

@ZOS_Kevin are the devs aware of this Proxy-Tarnished bug?

ZOS_Kevin · March 28

Hi All, thanks for flagging this. The team is aware of this and in the process of resolving. We are going to close this thread since the problem and solution has been identified.
