Defiling Corpses

ThatHappyCat

So they cannot be resurrected.

Camping dead bodies in case their friends are stealthed nearby ready to res them the moment they think you're gone is tedious.

Make it take just as long as ressing so people have a chance to interrupt/kill you while you're pissing on their corpse or whatever.

Or some sort of deployable tripwire/land mine so the resser gets a nasty surprise

You know really blows linking a broken item in cyrodiil zone chat so half of DC crashes.

That wouldn't help unless it 1. lasts for a long time and 2. stops the res even if no one's there to stop them.

Welcome to the option to do or do not do. I find PvP in Cyrodiil tedious, I simply don't participate. Well, mostly. Sometimes I'll go in and have fun until AD zergs and I crash. Then I'm back in PvE where I have fun.

It's an MMO, tedious is what the second "M" stands for! (If you can't see that as a joke you're an idiot. Just a warning to anyone who HAD to point out that the two words start with different letters... I know you're out there.)

Why are you in the AW section then?

Then this doesn't really concern you. For those of us who do PvP, we'd like a decisive victory to mean legwork for the enemy; otherwise it's just a never-ending skirmish that never gets anywhere, It's the whole reason why forward camps were removed (amongst other things).

New stealth detection is coming. Also; can't remember how long the timer is before you can no longer get rezed or if there is a time limit. Maybe that needs to be shorter?

It's 10 minutes before you're automatically ressed. Stealth detection isn't really the answer, especially since we already have that with caltrops (and it doesn't sound like the new spell would be much more spammable than caltrops is). I imagine it would still be pretty easy for a lone player to stay stealthed at a distance and come back to res all their friends when the coast is clear (which their dead friends can tell them, so they don't even need to be in sight range).

Ahh true on the caltrops thing.

I think the time limit for a rez should be shorter in Cyrodiil. That would probably help. 10 minutes is way too long.

An option to burn bodies would be amazing. Make it like a rank 8-10+ passive or something.

Eglath

Or something bought for AP like some magic gem, or simply a torch to destroy/burn/prevent this player from being ressed.

Jimminy crickets, no!

Have you played GW2? This idea identical to the stomp mechanic, and that part of pvp was just terrible.

Kaghei

Yeah, maybe take 2x as long as a normal res, and have an animation of chopping their head off, I wouldnt be against that.

It isn't like GW2 at all. GW2's downed mechanic is more like a weakened mode, stomping them is the part where you actually kill them (and you don't have to stomp, you can just DPS them down). They can still be ressed after they're killed/stomped.

Roechacca

I thought this was about teabaggin ... Turned out to be much worse .

RedTalon

Well while its a good idea, its easily avoidable, you basically can do a force quit or log out and bodies vanish...then a person logs back in after 10-30 seconds and can be rised while you think they just re-spawned.

So would have to fully block the quit option and logout while someone is dead also.

Just make it count down from 10 or you remain in the server. Yes it probably won't solve much for long battles, but an in-combat res could be the difference between victory and defeat and logging out to circumvent defiling (which would be just as difficult to do in-combat as ressing) could lose you the chance of a timely res.

FauxHunter

Trap Beast from the Fighter's Guild skill tree is pretty fun to use on corpses. Caught myself more than a few rezzers with it :P

MrGhosty

I like to drop a volcanic rune and wait for fireworks, or I just use /sweep on the corpse until it goes away, gotta stay tidy.

WarrioroftheWind_ESO

I could've sworn it used to be where if a body got toasted i.e. turned into a pile of ash, you couldn't be rezzed. Either I imagined it or they removed it? Either way I'd like it if you had a fatality such as melting into a pile of goo from poison or disease or being frozen and shattered would prevent SS rezzing and you could only revive at a keep. Or perhaps eating bodies with WW could leave a pile of bones instead. Reminds me of this Skyrim mod called Bloody Cannibalism that turns a body into a skeleton with the most satisfying crunching splat ever.

WraithAzraiel

Oh well, run with it. If a Necromancer skill line were ever implemented, this idea would fit perfectly.

Little passive ability that allows you to defile a corpse in Cyrodiil, preventing player rez for anything less than multiple soul gems, or just flat out preventing rez. Outside of Cyrodiil, it temporarily increases your health or magicka regen or something.

CP5

Not sure if this works but I heard that the Blackfeather Court Whistle could prevent revives. Trying to test that out but its hard to tell if people are trying to revive the target.

cozmon3c_ESO

maybe you can chop off there dead bodies heads with an axe and cut there timer to auto rez in half.

on another note, why do Blue camp bodies like crazy, i mean we're out in the middle of nowhere and we have a blue zerg dancing over our bodies for 10 minutes. dont you have some people to fight who are not dead lol. when this happens though i just get up and take a *** (pee) and get another beer, so i consider myself the ultimate tank, i take no damage and aggro a zerg lol.\

*pee instead of ***.

Because ganking with a group of like 8 people from stealth gets you a bad rap in zone at least. Most pugs get annoyed trying to ride somewhere and being 1 shot by half a dozen people from stealth.

^This. If anything, DC learned it from the Heizenzerg "gank" group.

Hey Columba, where is your post about EP pulse monkeys?

You usually fit one into every thread you post in.

Columba

Gankers are better than the EP pulse pukes. At least they don't exploit to win. Enough for you?
