I can't see the destro ult til I'm dead

Lewandowsky

quick search I haven't been able to find discussion of the same, but I'd need 2 hands tonight to count the times I took destro ult damage without ever seeing the red circle telling me to roll out of the badness. one time in 1v1 without lag for 20k... didn't know there was a storm til I was dead. Happens every time I pvp is this just me? Suggestions?

Gilvoth

same with me and many other people, in addition to that, i died in less then 1 second from it.

Standard

I noticed everyone and their grandmothers are using that ULT

There is a huge red circle now. Really no excuse at this point.

However, if you are having SO MUCH trouble seeing the huge red circle, get Miat's addon. It has a sound alert and a huge popup when you are standing in a destro ult.

I'll keep looking. Swear it's just not there in my game though. If anyone else has similar weigh in please.

Wasn't there an issue with mistform making aoes invisible?

Dasovaruilos

It is a pain and I have no idea whatsoever how this was not addressed in the Homestead patch.

My group now has to keep calling "bad destro" or "our destro" so we can tell which one will kill us.

If this skill remains unblockable and hard to see for another patch round, I'll probably won't go to Cyrodiil at all for months.

Hopefully you are on PC, if so Miats CC tracker.

I've been playing since console launch and a while back, maybe Orsinium, they changed rendering when the game lags. A lot of times now it won't look laggy on your sreen but what you're seeing is actually a good 2 seconds behind what's being registered on the server. Thus you'll drop dead after not seeing the red circle or as often happens in my case it will just barely start to touch me, I'll dodge roll out and drop dead after taking 25K damage in what seems to be less than 1 second inside the AOE.

That could explain all or some of what is happening with my play. I mean I swear I'm good with staying out of the red circles I've maxed out undaunted on multiple toons, I really do know how to do it. Hm..

The worst part is not everyone has the same delay so if you have a great connection to the server you get a huge advantage over people with bad connections.

These Addons give PC players so much advantage over a console player.

Yeah, but you console players chose to have an uncustomized gaming experience on your couch. It's not like ESO was the only game that is far better on PC than on console^^

@Lewandowsky Are you on console? I'm not sure if the mist-form-makes-destro-ult-invisible but has been fixed there yet. If not, a fix is in the pipe.

But yes, they are very hard to see and sometimes just plain invisible. Lightning ults are easier but hard to tell friend from foe (or both!) when you are inside it.

Ditto the recommendation for Miat's CC Tracker - it's a big help.

Did you by accident de activate the red circle telegraphs in your options?

Yeah terrible game ruining addons and less comfortable seating is clearly better.

It's lag, mate.

People playing overseas with high ping or on poor connections won't get a chance to react.

Whenever a destro ult even goes off in PVP my screen stutters and lags out.

If I happen to be standing next to the guy ulting, it's usually over before I get a chance to see it.

I don't mind the ult itself. On a local connection it'd be fine. But the latency and frame rate drops it causes me and my buddies is brutal.

WTB Oceania server.

Playing from Japan can be brutal when the EOTS start popping!

It also happens with the black holes in AA. They are invisible, or flicker in and out depending on your look angle. Really buggy implementation. Thanks ZoS!
