Soloed a Resource - Stone Treb

Goldie✭✭✭✭✭If you get hit with a Horse Sized Stone going 50 Miles per hour its going to do some damage, guard or not. Its more realistic this way. If you don't like players soloing resources then get your *** out there and defend them! Or

✭✭✭all this nonsense about "one can only siege now" is completely false. I did plenty of close quarter combat in blackwater blade tonight, where a fire balistae can one shot someone if they dont purge the DoT.
you just have to learn to avoid the red circles of humiliating death(:D) once this is accomplished, fun will be had.Edited by Cody on March 25, 2015 3:09AM1 -
MADshadowman✭✭✭✭✭The problem is: everytime something new comes to the game that is not balanced well (and siege damage is not balanced), everyone will jump on it and use it excessively. Not because it is what they wanted, but they get easy kills out of that.
I hate lazy play styles. snipe glass cannon builds are the lamest thing ever, just sitting there and pressing one button over and over again. And people get rewarded for being lazy? this is not ok in my opinion. You have to work for your rewards, where i come from.
Of course people will use siege now, with a dirty smile on their face, that's what they have always done and always will do.
Here is the short history of lazy gameplay:- Oh bat swarm is super strong, i'm gonna use it
- Oh dragon knight is super strong, i'm gonna play one
- Oh silver bolts is bugged and procs 100% of the time, i'm gonna use it
- Oh snipe is super strong, i'm gonna use it
- Oh suddenly nightblades are super strong, i'm gonna play one
- Oh stamina became viable, i'm gonna switch my build
- Oh 2H are ridiculously strong, i'm gonna use one
- Oh radiant destruction does insame amounts of damage, i'm gonna use it all the freaking time
- Oh siege weapons are hopelessly overpowered, i will put one up wherever is enough space
Guess what, i'm playing my old build again, from 6 months ago and it works very nicely even in 2.0.2. No new stuff, no cheap tricks, just straight up classic play style. You just know, what you got.
I guess what i'm trying to say is, siege is for keeps, not for players. Just engage in real player vs. player fights and don't try to score some easy kills with 30k fire treb hits.

I solo'd a whole raid in a resource tower with one fire ballista. Wait till they entered fire ballista charge them aoe to finish them off. Was stupid as he**. Reduce the damge. a level 20 could have done what i did1

✭Just to report in: I solo'd a resource last night using nothing but Fire Ballista.
A few shots, one patrol charges in, but died on the way to my spot, and few more shots to clear the flag, i hit the one on the tower, sneaked to the flag and stayed there for a minute.

✭✭The problem is not the damage delt by the siege weapon to solo a ressource, the problem is the shield casted by npcs to mitigate its damage.Frozn - Stamdk - AR50

Just to report in: I solo'd a resource last night using nothing but Fire Ballista.
A few shots, one patrol charges in, but died on the way to my spot, and few more shots to clear the flag, i hit the one on the tower, sneaked to the flag and stayed there for a minute.
Voila.
Anyone want to tell me where the skill is in this? Not putting you down i have done it myself just to see how stupid it is. Honestly i could run around naked and take resources now. Heck a level 10 could solo resources now. This is no longer PvP. its PvSiege. And its pretty boring.
Everyone wants to say "ya its great its realistic now" My answer to this is magic, tiger mounts, talking lizards and cats.! You want realism go play Battlefield! This is a game set in a make believe world with wizards, living skeletons, necromancers, zombies, giants, trolls, gargoyles, Giant lizards, and monsters made of rock, ice and fire. Tell me please where is the realism in this game? Ill wait...............1 -

✭✭✭✭✭You dont need a siege weapon to take a resource alone. Just careful planning and a wee bit of care, and its not too hard.

And where does is state in the ES lore book that you should be able to stand in red circles without consequence? Oh, it doesn't. Because that would be "unrealistic" even by ES lore standards that does include wizards, skeletons, necromancers, zombies, giants, trolls, gargoyles, giant lizards, and monsters made or rock, ice, and fire.
Force weapon swap to have priority over EVERYTHING. Close enough.
Make stamina builds even with magicka builds.
Disable abilities while holding block.
Give us a REASON to do dungeons more than once.
Remove PVP AoE CAP. It is ruining Cyrodiil.
Fix/Remove Forward Camps. They are ruining Cyrodiil.
Impenetrability needs to REDUCE CRIT DAMAGE. Not negate entire builds.

LMAO the unrealistic argument again WOW people! This is the problem with the game. People want a fantasy game thats realistic. Do you see the irony here?0 -
Aimelin✭✭✭ZOS_BrianWheeler wrote: »There have been other things being discussed for the guards regarding their ability ranges and upgrades. It was a known factor that the guards were going to be significantly weaker compared to the Siege damage changes going in. The guards are currently intended to be a deterrent for players without siege weaponry but if you do have a weapon, have at it.
In the overall scheme of things with the current focus on spreading people out as Paul mentioned, if more players can take resources requiring less players to do so with the aid of siege weaponry than could before, this can encourage players to do so.
All that being said, we are looking at the server performance and gameplay experience after these changes and will adjust them if needed
Congrats, you made 1 person spread off the entire zerg to go fire 2 rocks at a flag, then rejoin his zerg ......
how long did you guys brainstorm for that one? a year?1
But I'll wait.
