You know what really grinds my gears?

Alucardo

Time for a rant thread to let out all of your frustration, but let's try to make it constructive at the same time so it might be somewhat useful information for ZOS.

1. You know what really grinds my gears? Delayed to the extreme ultimates

I let my ultimate loose during a battle, 15 secs later I die, end up at the wayshrine and this happens



2. You know what really grinds my gears? "Helping" hands
You'll be killing some easy mobs, no problem, then some Hero blows them up with an ultimate, as if to say, "I got your back bro". Seriously.. let me kill my own mobs. I don't care if you go ahead of me and clear the entire cavern with your steel tornado, just let me finish the ones I'm killing ffs.

3. You know what really grinds my gears? Forced group world bosses
This should be optional - Solo or Group. I can NEVER find any one to do bosses with, so I literally have zero complete. I got through the first wave of Spheres at that Nyz-something-rather, and thought YES! Then another wave came out and blew my face off.
To be honest, I got further than the VR16 guy before me. He turned up, threw down caltrops and insta-died. I think he logged off in shame.

The point here is, if you're going to have achievements with cool costumes, please, PLEASE don't make it mandatory to have a group. Yes, yes, I understand this is an MMO, but some of us still prefer solo so we don't have to rely on others. I just like to get stuff done instead of waiting hours for help.

4. You know what really grinds my gears? Snares, and that ridiculous unblockable root thing NPCs do
So OP. Nothing else to be said here. I now see why Stampede is pretty hot right now.

5. You know what really grinds my gears? Pernickety chesters
Oh, you found a chest? That's awesome! Wait, why did you leave it open? Don't walk away. Please clear it so it can respawn. No? kden.
Yeah, you know who I'm talking about.

6. You know what really grinds my gears? Eat-my-dust public dungeon rushers
Nightblades that cloak through hordes of mobs, or those sorcs that streak right through them, all the while my DK slowly drags his feet behind clearing the entire path solo. I'm sorry, but I hate these guys. Maybe it's envy of their mobility, or just the fact they leave me to clean up the mess that I find sickening, but yeah.. I don't like it.

7. You know what really grinds my gears? Jumping


I hate you.

8. You know what really grinds my gears? DK Chains
I want to love this spell, I really do. When it works, it's great.. but some times I just stand there jolting like an idiot and nothing happens. I can deal with the fact the target gets free immunity, I can even deal with the fact it's not as good as a true gap closer and can be dodged easily, but please just make it do something 100% of the time so I'm not doing some kind of weird dance.

9. You know what really grinds my gears? Stagnant Stamina gameplay
My two stam builds are a DK and Sorc. They don't have any class related DD abilities, so the setup is almost identical. It's boring, so I go back to my Magicka DK, and then I remember why I made stam alternatives.. so I go back to those, and I'm back to square one.
Please give Stam sorcs and DKs something else. Wrecking blow doesn't make me smile the way it used to.

I feel like this every time now



What grinds YOUR gears?

A lot of things "grinds my gears", but I am confused about a couple things on your list.

In number two, you say you hate helping hands and don't care if people run ahead of you. But then in number six, you complain about NBs and Sorcs sneaking and bolting through the mobs allowing you to solo them, like you mention preferring in number three.

How can others know when it is ok to help or not ok to let you solo?

1. Having to rely on Elusive Mist in its very, very broken state to have an escape on a DK.
2. Having to tone down the graphics on my very, very expensive gaming PC in order to have the game playable after a "performance update".
3. seeing the same assets used over and over and over and over (in Wood Elf land there are quite a few dungeons that are exactly the same just with different mobs. I haven't noticed it as strongly elsewhere, but it may just be i notice the same trees more).
4. The Craglorn quests that force you to have at least 3 people. I have successfully soloed two or three of these, but only after asking around in chat for people to come and stand on tiles to open a door

I was talking about streaking through public dungeons, whereas helping hands was basic single mobs

You Know WHAT REALLY GRINDS ME:

You see a chest or a node of VR16 Materials, HOWEVER there is an NPC guarding it,

I attack the NPC and while i am killing him, RIGHT NEXT TO THE NODE/CHEST some SCHMUCK sneaks in and steals my NODE/CHEST!!!

I am not you Freaking PERSONAL assassin/Clearer of the way/Murderer OF EVIL/LOOT GIVER,
YOU LOW DOWN ROTTEN SCOUNDREL....

Wish i could press a button which enable me to be able to kill you, YOU SLIMY LITTLE cockroach,

Wish the FLEA's of a Trillion Camels infest your armpits and tour fingers turn into FISH HOOKS,

Change you freaking Faction and return to the hole you crept out of you EP/AD Vermin of DaggerFall....

Go and sleep with an argonian called Shares-My-Wares-With-You and see which wares get shared with you..

No offence to EP/AD,

I'm always kinda amused when I see people do that, "Why you sneaky little basterd...!". But after that, of course, it's on. I'll be waiting at every mob so you get the agro and I can check the room for chests at my leisure. I can enjoy that little bit of competition. It's just a regular chest anyway, I don't see why people get so worked up about it.
