Bat Swarm - This is going too far

We were defending an outpost with about 40 people, fighting off about 60, eventually they broke a postern door and 1.. ONE! guy came in while the entire zerg stayed outside and he killed everyone that was on oil ready to counter, then he moved in on our siege up top and killed everyone there, we knew he was going to come out so we had mines, AOE fields and all that crap waiting at the entrance, NOTHING hit him. That's when the enemy zerg came in and it wasn't until he killed off all the oil on the flag that they actually moved in to capture......

THIS IS COMPLETELY KILLING THE FUN IN PVP

If you are not punishing these people in any way then DISABLE THE *** SKILL until it is fixed. We are tired of this happening.

This is in my opinion exploiting or bug abuse and anyone that does it knows exactly what they're doing.

    why would they punish them? they arent doing anything illegal. its a broken mechanic, yes. its op in its current state, its not an exploit tho. they are doing nothing that uses any unintended mechanics, nor are they using any 3rd party software or any glitches in the game. all they do is put a specific gear set on and use a skill. its up to ZOS to fix it. dont blame the players for using tools given to them. every pvper with abit of a brain would do this and theres nothing wrong with doing so. asking for bans on those ppl is just very immature.

    It's an obviously unintended consequence that anyone should be able to walk into a fully defended outpost and single-handedly take every defender out just by walking around (including taking out people through walls). Most people prefer to win a fight without

    And for someone to say that "every pvper with a bit of a brain would do this" is plainly wrong: 99.9% of people are NOT doing this. Some perhaps because they cannot, but many because they do not want to play a competitive game with this kind of auto-win function.

    This bat swarm thing is killing PvP enjoyment.

    ZOS have said in that reddit Q&A, that they will be patching vamps this week, hopefully on monday, so that they can patch them again on thursday to fix whatever they broke.

    Just report them. Any scumbag still using this known exploit should be banned.

    Resistance is FUtilez
    Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.
    Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.

    1) this is not a competitive game. the skill ceiling is way too low.
    2) everyone who is serious about pvp aka not a noob will always use the best possible build available to him, period.

    That's the hilarious part, I don't know why they don't just disable it. Not like it will ruin anyones build except the scumbags abusing it, since you have to bounce between stages 3-4 without logging/zoning and equip "Of the Dragon" and "Seducer".

    They should disable it for the time being until they can implement some more balance, it's more than just frustrating when one player takes out 20+ VR's
    Been here since Feb 2014 - You'd think I'd be half reasonable at this game by now...
