Exploit in imperial city

oMrRust · August 2023

There's a exploit wardens are using to pull people off the ledge of their platforms in imperial city by use of that one skill. I can't remember it's name but yet, a warden pulled me off the ledge.

Let me guess you stood at your base and shot with a bow at everyone who was running below?

I will throw meteor followed by assassins will at people standing on the edge of their base shooting at me. Well played Warden. Well played.

What? Somebody shot back?

yeah that is not an exploit, its virtually the only counter tactic to tower sniping besides ranged burst dmg

wardens obviously cannot use the frozen gate if they are the one on the platform, but there is nothing saying it cant be placed up there from the ground, and you are not in range of the sanctuary buff standing on the ledge so your free game

ive spent a fair share of time tower sniping because im lazy lol

Nope. I exited from sewers to up top, just walk off the glowing blue protection area and instantly i'm yanked. pulled straight forward and then down. Can't even see that trap that'd pull people down either.

Seems like the Warden went fishing and reeled one in

You're only guaranteed safety within the silenced, safe portion.

Once you leave that, you can be hit from below by enemies and aggroed NPCs (I say, having been hit by a rock-throwing ogrim in the Arena District whilst on the tower.)

There is a reason why IC is a dead empty zone....

This is silly.

IC is dead because ZOS doesn't give a good enough reason to go there and have made poor design changes to the zone. The flag changes killed the population (a demonstrable decrease occured after these went through). Things like being able to exploit the queue system to avoid any of the risk vs reward, the fact that you can run around on a ganker with 0 TelVar and still collect from other players, and the lack of any sort of leaderboard or point system keep the zone from being fun for a lot of players.

A warden pulling down people that refuse to drop from their spawn is not why IC is dead.

Except that isn't what the OP said. They were immediately pulled down as soon as they spawned and stepped away from the safety zone at the trap door.

Edit/Addendum: Note, I do think they were fair game. It's a war zone, like it or not. Trying to get the daily district quests done while avoiding enemy players is just part of the game. And unless the OP was actually in the blue safety zone (which they said they were not), then what they described was normal gameplay rather than an exploit. Fun? Nice? No, and no. But still fair play.
