Player behaviour that drives you crazy ...

Seraphayel · January 2017

... share your stories!

Most times I am a pretty gentle and friendly player but when I see specific kinds of player behaviour I am getting insane. Some examples?

- Templars spamming Biting Jabs or Jesus Beam

- Sorcs hard casting Crystal Fragments several times in a row

- Sorcs standing around while their pets do the job

Etc.

Tell me what kind of behaviours bothers you in ESO!

Teabagging. Nothing does a better job of saying "I have the maturity of Butthead".

Lol. True.

But why would someone get upset with tenplars spamming jabs since it's designed to be a spam just like force pulse and strife are.

Jumping.
What are you a bunny? Hold your butt still for 5 seconds!

Players swooping in on nodes ... while you're fighting the mobs occupying said nodes.

When this "how they want" slow down the group, cause a wipe etc, yes, the group can complain.

1. Players complaining about how others play
2. People coming to the forums asking to nerf X or Y (in terms of PvP effects)
3. People who vote to kick or who intend to prevent players from doing content based on their level
4. People who try and convince others to PvP when someone point blank states they enjoy PvE and don't want to PvP

Analyze why you are upset.

Then realize there is no spoon.

Ok, serious - if you are upset because you are in a group there is a potential for conversation, just remember to be polite because the other player did not directly ask for your advice.

Yeah sure spamming ONLY Biting Jabs is what ZOS wanted when designing this ability, right?

So, you don't want to come PvP with me?

I'm not talking about content like vWGT. I'm talking about most other dungeons, which are rather easy to complete, even with a group member underperforming. I feel like using whatever abilities you wish should be encouraged in an Elder Scrolls game, but this is an MMO, so I understand both sides. My point is that some people will constantly nag about your build doing .1% less DPS than it should. I am someone who will grind for hours for BIS, but I understand that its not for everyone. Unless you do not know how to use abilities, if this is in a normal dungeon, it shouldn't matter. If this is a vet dungeon, then yes of course they should know what they are doing. They shouldn't be told to rework their entire build just for not being meta, however. If the difference is only marginal, unless you are doing vMOL, I say go for it. Try that crazy concept. It is just a game, afterall. Just because min/maxing is fun for you (and me), doesn't mean it is fun for them. Don't ruin their fun.

Play how you want is a lie.

Sucks but if you want -actual- play how you want there are better games for it than this one.

Dr_Resilient · January 2017

When people get one shot and blame my heals.

Or when i sacrifice someone to keep beaming the final boss(with few HP) to the death when we are near a wipe, and the chat is only ******* OMGGGGGG ****** hell.

They are called single player games.

Yeah, if you aren't allowed to jump like a flea on speed how would other players know how cool you are!

I sooo wish jumping would cost stamina, just like sprinting...

Runs · January 2017

Players attacking mobs they don't need to and dragging them closer to nodes to make it look like they did. And then when they cry about someone taking "their" node while they were killing those mobs that they didn't need to.

Players who complain when you attack "their" mob.

Players who complain that you didn't help them with the mob they were fighting.

Players who are attacking everything in a delve, so you start doing the same so you both get to the boss together... Then they wait for you to get agro and make a bee line towards the boss. Believe it or not that 800 plus CP player isn't slowing down because he needs your help on the boss, he is slowing down so you don't have to wait several minutes on the respawn.

Players who think they own the area they are grinding.

Players who enter and attack the mobs where I am grinding.

SolarCat02 · January 2017

People who feel entitled to insult and belittle others in their PUG veteran dungeon group, because: "I can solo this." Then go solo it. I would rather teach the mechanics to the CP80 trying out his first veteran dungeon instead of listening to you whine. In these cases, this dungeon is not big enough for the both of us, so if I can't vote to kick you, I am leaving myself, with apologies to the CP80.

"Singing" bad rap in area chat, meanwhile, will get you added to my mute list. I prefer to hear the conversations, not the people trying to increase their YouTube following, but that is easy enough to remedy.

Aside from that, I am pretty easy going.

what is up with that??? talk about breaking up your immersion - it's the weirdest looking thing in the world when you're fighting in cyrodiil...people are "hopping" around everywhere...

although, it is fun to target those people with different knock down moves so you can watch them go flying...

I don't mind if people play how they want to play as long as it is within reason. I don't wanna see a stam DK DPS running around with an inferno staff and a sword and shield. If they wanna play like that as a solo player then more power to them but if they are going to hinder a group like that then that is their own fault.

Omg yes. I get so annoyed about healers healing. They need to be kicked from the group.

@Seraphayel

There is a build that's basically puncturing sweep until execute that pull mid to high 40k in a raid. Can get hear 40k unbuffed. I've not breached 50k with it but a good player probably can. It's not expected to be as good next update.

So yes.

Stamplar don't have much other to spam. You buff, set dots and jab with light attacks inbetween.
If your taliking about pvp is only slightly different.
