Another topic on VD. In case link doesn't work...death recap shows sap essence 700 dmg followed by 3 vicious deaths for a total of 26000 lol. I understand it's bugged in that it's not supposed to be showing at all but what caused it to show 3 times from 1 person?

Necrelios✭✭✭✭✭Your guess is as good as mine. I have a strong suspicion death recaps are not entirely accurate to begin with though, working with some kind of "best guess" voodoo in order to string together the last several hits from all damage sources with all sorts of lag problems thrown in both from other players and then server lag on top of that. Whatever calculations happen on the server end then return the data to the client could also be off somehow too.Terms & Conditions ["We revoke permission to fictional legal constructs or private/public persons for selling of any private data, censorship, surveillance, personage or conversion as a trespass of law.

Necrelios✭✭✭✭✭On closer inspection I do see three dead bodies surrounding your character. If the same player killed all three of them in rapid succession that could explain being hit three times by Vicious Death.Terms & Conditions ["We revoke permission to fictional legal constructs or private/public persons for selling of any private data, censorship, surveillance, personage or conversion as a trespass of law.

It *is* supposed to be showing, if the VD explosion that hit you was caused by a nearby ally being killed by an enemy wearing vicious death set.
What is bugged is that VD explosion triggered by your own death is showing on your death recap, even tho it only happened after you died(your own explosion does not damage you since you are already dead, and thus should not be showing on your death recap)
As to why it shows 3 times from one person: magicka NB used sap essence on your group and killed several of them near you - for every enemy that he killed, you got hit by a vicious death explosion.

xblackroxe✭✭✭✭✭Thats not a bug. You see the name of the person that has VD equipped in the death recap. That means even if 2 people near you explode you will see those 2 hits + the one that procces on your death in deathrecMember of HODOR

✭Same...
VD+VD+VD+FIRE BALLISTA
All from one person when charging a breach.
Its collateral damage from the people exploding around you.
VD isnt just anti zerg.
Its anti breach too.
Thats why its bad.
Because sometimes you HAVE TO cluster.
Entering a breach is not bad game play.
Its essential game play.
Rather than stop zeging all we did was made breaching hard to impossible.
If the teams know what they are doing.
Hence my 2 hour stand off at sedj a couple of weeks ago.
The breach was simply a kill box.
No one who entered lived....friend or foe.Edited by Rune_Relic on May 9, 2016 11:08AMAnything that can be exploited will be exploited1 -

Well you shouldn't just run anywhere without being prepared to get rekt.
Prepare yourself as a group (barrier, heals, whatever mitigation you have).
I don't get why people hate so much on that set. Prepare or get rekt whats the bad thing about this?

daswahnsinn✭✭✭Just some death recaps, I'm not saying it's bugged or what not, but it procs often. The last one is the same player hitting me.

How many times you see it on recap depends on how many players around you died from the VD user.
If all of them died from the same person, then all VD on your death recap will list the same person as source.

Thank you for that answer, I didn't think of it that way. I just didn't really understand how the set was working, but this makes since.| | daswahnsinn | Vet 16 Nord Dragon Knight | Bow/Dual Wield/Two-Handed Sword| DPS | | Warrior of the EbonHeart Pact | |0 -
Sunburnt_Penguin✭✭✭✭✭Three times tonight where each I thought "okay, this time VD proc'd and killed me" however yet again, it was just health desync and UI error on the recap.
If you guys really think it's incorrectly killing you then simply record it and do the maths. Otherwise it's working as intended and these QQ threads need to stop.2 -

✭✭I mean there's a video showing it execute someone at 20% HP.... so I'm not sure how it isn't bugged especially when the poster claimed it occurs multiple times.
The set imo needs to be fixed as I experience it too, I'll see the flames of VD proc on me but it doesn't kill me until whoever was attacking me finishes me off.不動の Steadfast - Unwavering

I didnt realise they were 100% mitigation vs 1 siege siege let alone 10 siege.
Exactly how many siege shields do you think one person can dump ?

Oh you mean prepare as in stack in a zerball with all the purge heals and barriers.
At a breach point pummeled with siege, prox det, VD and oils.
Yeah....doesnt work so well now
