Things That Make You Cringe In-Game

That quest where the hagravens cut the little wood sprites eyes out. That was cringeworthy.

The other quest when the real big Orc dude ran that huge sword through that guy picking him up off the ground. That one was brutal.

Some random was chatting about how noob I was dying on a vet CoA boss farm. That made me mad. So when he died because he's so awesome, t-bag corpse spamming Vigor and siege shield and light bow attacks. Then t-bag it some more.

People always talking about BiS and meta builds. I don't really see how a small amount of higher numbers make the game more fun.
Its not fun to play like every other player do. Almost always try to make my own build and out of the box. It make the game alot more fun.

PVP:

-Jesus Beam spamming from 40 meters
-Keeping jesus beam spam even after interrupts
-zone chat (LF big group plz)
-Permablock tanks (and "they don't deal any damage just ignore them" stupidity)
-Proctards

PVE:

-Light attack spam
-Double bar Bow
-Using 2H
-Play the way you want

So for PvE you like all to play with meta builds or what? Some people like to play bow builds

I like to use bow builds. Lol. It's called Maelstrom Bow with Endless Hail and Poison Injection. That's where the bow build ends.

Dueling. Everywhere. If players insist on measuring each others ding-*** in pve zones rather than joining the war in cyrodiil, then just make a nice shiny arena for them.

Yeah, like my stamblade in divines VO is gonna duel you

I hope you just mean DW on front bar. DW on back bar is pretty meta for magNB and magDK, if you have no ultra rare sharpened MA or Äther, BSW or Moondancer staff. The Sorc-Elegance-build is outdated, but for burning down stuff fast it was good once.

Ugh, nothing worse than seeing 2 Khajiit in their skivvies, jumping up and down on a bed while trying to loot the place... lmao

The fact that you really "can't" play the way you want in game.

The idea that "Play how you want," meant all build approaches would be viable for all content. Play how you want meant, near as I can tell, that no matter what your approach to the game, there would be endgame options for you. If you wanted to collect endgame gear, you didn't need to go to PvP or run Dungeons, you could craft, or farm drop sets.

It's not quite as true now, because there are things you simply cannot obtain, that are useful for your build, without running a lot of content you might not enjoy, but the general idea is still true. You can play the game how you want, you just need to tailor your build according to what you're doing.

You can play how you want...the problem isn't really that you have to use certain skills. The problem is you want to see all the PvE content and there are optimal builds. Since this is and always will be the truth people will always want those optimal builds since it should result in the most consistent level of results.

I mean in general. I've always used Destro/Resto, unless it was my MagPlar. And once I got my Master Staves and Maelstrom Staves? Best believe it continued. Lol.

In fact, do you know how the whole DW for magicka builds came about? It came about from a PvP'er looking to do more damage, at the cost of sacrificing his sustain. It turned out to be quite effective, and this became the poster build for specifically MagSorcs. 2pcs. Torug's Pact swords. It was never meant to be used in PvE. But was adopted for GLASS CANNON builds in PvE after seeing just how effective it was. That is the origins behind the whole DW for magicka builds thing. There is actually a thread about it when it first emerged, but i have no idea where it's floating around at now (as it's years old).

Edit: Had to fix a word incorrectly placed. Damn autocorrect.

Issue is, it is still very effective in PvE when you don't need to park destruction skills on your back bar. I still use it on my magNB and my magDK (not on my Sorc though, because you need to set your Elemental Blockade on your back bar). Maybe the next patch will change that with the upcoming passive destro changes. You may already use a staff on back bar as a magNB now, because usually you play a mag NB as a ranged DD and just with a staff you are able to weave then. Depends on the fact if you are able to weave any skill not just your spamable or a few.

It's no rocket science. Equip 2 swords and look on your spell damage value.

Can't say anything about that in PvP, it's not my world.

stam based healers or healers that use a bow
DPS that do nothing but spam Uppercut or Snipe
magica class using great swords
tanks with no shield in their inventory
players below 100CP that complain about other's DPS
players forming as group that require 500+CP when they only have 120Cp themselves
players that want armor crafted and expect you to just give them everything
any phrase in text chat that contains the word Exposed

Izaki · January 2017

The final chest in vMA.

People telling me that stam builds aren't worth running in trials.
The same stam DK telling me everyday how stam NB suck when I pull more DPS than them (last time I checked pulling 39.9k self buffed on a stam NB is better than 38k buffed on a stam DK).

Madamova · January 2017

People spamming in zone chat selling things for ridiculous prices hoping that some idiot will buy it - something like "Want to sell Argonian Racial Motif for 10k" Ha! And even worse when somebody actually does buy it!

When a group of twelve magicka templars starts light attacking you with destro staves.

You know what's coming next. Just. Run. Away.

Vanthras79 · January 2017

The whole wood elf meat mandate thing. Wood elves enforcing the green pact, when I am collecting plants. Rude orc guards. Abnur Tharn's snotty humor. Doge roll/vigor spamming back to full health in seconds.

Tanks trying to run away from Dranos' power and spin attacks in CoS.
That guy has the most predictable move pattern and is easiest boss to tank there.

PurifedBladez · January 2017

Go into rawlkha and here some kid talking about "roasting" some random while he frequently uses the word lit. Super loud, can rarely talk over him.. Xbox kids man.

Or just today in Rawlkha some sorc keeps talking so much about the skins I don't have and, how I haven't been emperor only to last in the duel for like 5 seconds. Sorry bro, but that stuff really doesn't matter to me.

Also people that spam bow light attacks.

I do that sometimes when I'm kinda bored, lagging really bad and just farming mats. Which means I've been doing it a lot lately since I'm dealing with six to eight hundred ms ping on a regular basis this month, and that is something that makes me cringe.

I've been having it on a regular basis this month as well. The game is much more enjoyable to play when it's responsive and lag free. So annoying having to hit my abilities multiple times for it to work - or wondering why my weapon did not swap and I'm using the wrong ability. So if anything is cringe-worthy right now for me on this game it is this lag.

Honorable mentions are those who talk politics in zone chat. There are political chat rooms for that kind of thing.
