Wuyu really opened my eyes

Teridaxus

So i made a huge mistake.
It was pretty early, not many people online and i wanted to do morrowind dailes like every day for the motifs.
I was lucky and a cp 450 dps joins immedialty. We waited 2 minutes and since i'm a tank i thought we would have no problem...except the daily was wuyu, a hunger worldboss.
Hungers have a health drain ability which heals % based which is massive in case of a world boss.
Normally you can break free, but not wuyus drain. He can only be interrupted by a second player.
During the fight are no adds except when wuyu disappears and regular hungers spawn until you killed 7-8 of them so he reappears which means there is no pressure on anyone except the guy with the aggro.

He used his drain on me and no interrupt, i asked politely for a bash/interrupt first, but no reaction. Wuyu healed 75% of the damage dealt and it happened over and over again.
In the meantime more people join, a 100-200 cp guy, then a lvl 30-40 guy but no bashing. I even said to click on both sides of the mouse for an interrupt but nothing. After he used his drain ability with it's duration for the 4th time wuyu was slain.

This is not the first time i have seen this with wuyu. I have seen up to 8 people during this fight in which noone interrupts the boss.


Yes, every 2-4 weeks a doshia nostalgia thread appears but buffing the stats is not enough/needed.
Force mechanics on the players in the overworld already instead of frustating teammates in a veteran dungeon.
Make a healer npc heal 10 times more with the option to interrupt. Throw more and stronger ground aoes. Let a boss become invicible unless you kill that totem/whatever across the room.
Weak light attacks but powerful heavy attacks which need to blocked/dodged.

You can't have both overland which can be done with bow light attacks and veteran dungeons like the upcomming nord ones at the same time.
Either make overland requiere atleast some braincells or let us light attack thought dungeons too.

This is why I hate WB zergs.

On side note, nothing wrong with having both faceroll easy and keyboard smashing challenging content but there needs to be a learning gap between the 2 but currently there's none. WB could be one but when people can't solo/2/3/4/5 man it they just call for more people and zerg them down. Oh how I wish any of the open world content actually hard forced mechanics on you even if you're zerging but that's not gonna happen because the uber casual community is way too strong.

A girl can dream though...make WB scale with the amount of players! Make Hunger heal 100+ % of the damage done unless bashed, no matter the damage he recieves! #makemechanicsmatteragain

Maybe a pop up hint like, "bash boss now" ?

Stuff like that would help, esp on overland stuff

This already exists, it's called tutorial. The game even reminds you on it afterwards. But people don't play the tutorial. They just go through it being brainafk and then complain when they get problems easily solved by playing the *** tutorial.

On Siren boss in Vvardenfell there is a mechanic that will one shot you unless you use a synergy. It literally says it right in the middle of your screen - "press X to blah blah"(probably a different key on console but the idea ought to be the same); it also conveniently disables all your other skills and whatnot so not just it's the logical thing to do, it's literally the ONLY thing you can do. Every single time I see pugs there they ALL(well most) die on it. REPEATEDLY.

It won't help, people are too damn used to doing whatever they want and to hell with mechanics.

To be fair I've died countless times even though I'm smashing X over and over. Apparently sometimes it just doesn't register.

Well on that mechanic its does a aoe damage when you x out of it so if you are near someone and they hit x first you get the damage... Also a good way to kill the adds as it will hurt them as well.

So you met 'Vus.'

Welcome to Vvardenfell.

Tried him when he was on PTS. Myself and another (who kept dying) had him at 5% for what seemed like an eternity.

He's something of a ***...which a world boss probably should be.

Hi I'm rather newbish, but are talking about the attack with the red graphics that signals you to bash to interrupt? If so, how could anyone who got past the tutorials not know what needed to be done?
