Fix Coldharbour Siege Weapons, Please?

Molag_Crow

When? Imperial update? someday? some year? when will the long-time bugged cold harbour siege weapons get fixed?

I don't know about PC, but us console players can never see the red aim mark from them, nor the animation of them firing so it's an absolute joke when you're the one not firing them of course.

I asked about it in the ESO Live thread so hopefully it'll get addressed next live feed. However, I asked if it was intentional or not and if they say it is then we are screwed.

It is terrible. Absolutely wrecking PvP right now. Can't believe they can't hotfix this.

I quite like the stealth aspect of the bug. Taking out outposts in complete silence with max 5 people.

Also the danger, looking out for every catapult, treb or ballista that doesn't move thinking "is that moving? Is that pointing at me? Omaaagaaad ruuuuun". I think it's great

Until your 20 man group spontaneously dies because of that bug.

It's a bug that will be addressed, personally the best thing to do is video record pvp and when it happens save and send to Zenimax, it's easy for us on PlayStation because it records all the last 20 mins or so constantly. So I just save and chuck an email to them.

Anyway I have no issue with a one shot siege etc, its merely the fact it doesn't have a red ring to say you've been shot at that gets me.

I think it adds an excellent element to the game, obviously others will disagree but I say let them stay.

I was on the lookout for one the other day as I knew the keep I was at was being attacked but I could not see from where exactly.

A quick stealth mission revealed a cunningly placed cold stone treb and about 3-4 NB's stealthing around it, naturally I got promptly murdered when trying to destroy it but I am not complaining because it adds another element.

If it gets fixed then just fix the animation, can we not have the red ring? Back in medieval times there was no 'hofark it's raining death' red ring so people had to use their eyes, maybe we can all start doing that and just have the animation fixed

It would be great if we could use our eyes, unfortunately it doesn't work like that, with lag and groups thrown into the mix it won't happen.

Considering in medieval times siege wasn't used against militia at all, and catapults etc wouldn't fire a tenth of how quick they do now, it's kind of irrelevant.

It should have w red ring like any other siege, it's a one shot kill, that you can't see incoming. What about people setting up trebuchets inside keeps? So they fire over the wall and you have zero indication other than death?

Or people putting ballista up inside of capture points? People still die by the bucket loads to them but it at least gives us a chance.

I see what you're saying there mate, I still like the aspect of it though. The fear of the unknown just adds that extra element for me and to me that's exciting.

I like having that one extra thing to worry about, maybe that's just me lol

And I am a squishy NB so it's good to see others squirm and get slaughtered in one hit for once haha

zornyan

I understand the element of danger, but to the majority it's unfair and a silly bug causing people to rage quit, it does get pretty boring running to a keep, and then being insta killed without seeing anything, then having to play horse riding sim for 10 minutes to have it happen again though.

I'm an Nb too, but everyone should have a chance to evade it.

Hell I've gotten many many kills with siege weapons anyway, it kills any unable to escape the zone, or not able to react in time.

I say don't fix them I like that their not able to be seen.If your on a flag stay in the outskirts of it and you can still Cap it while not being it.Play smarter not harder.Also get you some fire resistance and good armor you won't be 1 shooted.

Also its usually EP Zerg players I seen complaining about Cold fire I wonder why?

You will be 1 hit though, most of the time theres no dmg tick, so you die without seeing your hp drop despite it actually dmging your hp.

I have those moments when I'm defending a keep against a few players and instead of using my Coldharbour siege weapons, I'll use the normal ones because I'm like "Nah, it'll be unfair.." then, I end up getting killed by one ......

You can't expect people to counter a bug like this people are exploiting. Also shame on you for being against fixing it.

Now I know why I Die for no apparent reason. Being shot by a Siege Weapon with Incomplete Animations.

Its Problems like this that makes the Game feel like a Beta.

To be honest, that isn't so bad... I wouldn't mind if they fixed the animation of it firing but kept the red ring invisible.

Edit: I take that back, actually. I'm dying in situations where I'll be fighting a group outside a keep, doing well and surviving, etc.. then BOOM. 25k+ Coldharbour.
