Dawnbreaker Breaks the Game!

As you can see, I would like to congratulate ZOS for being proactive in their fight against lag by making dawnbreaker blind those who use it during lag. I believe it is time to demand this feature be added to all ults, so that everyone may witness the blinding light of Judgement Day.

Working as intended.

Laggus

Or..maybe its the company you keep!!

Sacadon

That' would drive me crazy... It doesn't do that for me. I wonder if it's how some GPUs or settings are handling the pfx. at 6:03 lol

I discovered that a few weeks ago, reminded me of counter-strike 1.6 when some clown on your team starts each round with "Fire in the hole".

Its the visual atmospheric effect of Dawnbreaker itself. At the speed of a snail.

Why did you keep using the skill after the first time it blinded you?

Xeniph

I discovered this a few months back. It only happens to me in lag fights. Quite annoying.

Obviously because our inner monkey demands it.

Turn off Bloom for one thing.

So, ZOS is to blame for people that intentionally lag the server and get strange results when they spam ultimates while it's happening?

Here is a tip for ZOS: watch video, write down the names of everyone in this guys group... check logs on each and every one. Half of them are bans... at least.

Funny.

Minnesinger

Yeah I gotta say say the obvious it is not the skill that is breaking the game. Funny though when I have witnessed lag any of my skills doesn´t work.

Sadly this is the root cause of the issue. Only had this happen once with dawnbreaker and its because FENGRUSH was battling said group. Was quite shocked to see the white light when it happened, its very bright.

Same thing, I thought my 970 blew up for a second.

LET THERE BE LIGHTTTT!!!!!!!!!!

Claiming our 17 people are the reason for all the lag is asinine, you can see in the very beginning of the video there is a yellow blob easily twice our numbers doing nothing but spamming heals/purges/ult while we are quite spread out in comparison. That aside, there was a large keep fight going on across the map, which had the ping up to 600+ before we even engaged. Of course this being the forums, I don't expect anything beyond the knee jerk reactions. But sure, keep blaming a small group of players as the cause of all your lag, instead of holding ZOS accountable. It's not like there was a lighting patch that degraded everyone's performance and was never fully fixed - and it's not like 1.6 made lag reach even stronger levels.

Why do I keep using dawnbreaker? If I didn't there wouldn't be a psychedelic video.

WTB more Dawnbreaker revelations!

If the answer is no,

1. Caused by Havoc, HavocLag, Lag, Divine Intervention, Packet Loss, most likely attributed to Havoc

If the answer is yes,

• Write an essay outlining apparent knowledge of the games network logic without contextual sense, whilst secertly blaming Havoc.

Ghost, can I add viva la Venatus to my signature too?

Of course you can Kate

Maybe your group had "17" players. There wasn't just 17 of you there. I was there and it wasn't like you were outnumbered at all, and you were wiped twice at that general location before you showed up and lagged everything out, whoever it was did it intentionally and we all know it. I make an appearance in your video, I was there... and I was there before the lagattack began and you all got stomped.

Only reason you keep going is you can still rez people as you move from hiding in a house to hiding behind a house to hiding behind a tower. There is nothing to be done to stop you from rezzing people, as everything is desynced from a damage perspective.

If you have no idea, you ought be wondering why exactly it always happens. Because it doesn't always happen... It only happens when certain people are around. I had bigger fights than that fight the same exact night, no lag (or acceptable lag).

The white out happens during the normal usage of dawnbreaker btw. It's just when you spam 6 of them or more (or whatever) they seem to overlap and create the ridiculous white out in your video. But if you watch it's normal usage closely you will see the white out it causes, it's quite brief.
