Please get rid of mud (or nerf the stuffing out of it)

sarbonn

If there's really any reason I'd probably quit this game, this is at the top of the chart, which means there's not a lot of reason I would (but this might do it).

Throwing mud at people serves absolutely no positive purpose to the game whatsoever. If it was a season thing, fine. Then end it at the season. If it's for an event, end it at the event. Giving this to people to use indiscriminately completely screws up the game for others who really aren't enjoying it. I can't literally go from one part of a town to another without at least two people throwing mud at me. Even the sound effect is annoying.

If you're a roleplayer, you're roleplaying is completely destroyed because now you have to participate in someone's childish antics. No matter what. And then you get the guys who sit in front of turn in locations and nonstop throw mud at everyone who comes along. Endlessly, like they don't actually play the game but just throw mud all day.

Fix this please, and here are a couple of suggestions (that should fit in with whatever nonsensical reasoning someone came up with behind thinking this was a good idea in the first place):

1. Put a timer on mud. You can throw it once every five minutes (or hour).
2. If you've been hit by mud, you can't be hit by it for another five minutes (or hour)
3. Turn off mud animation by choice on character settings. GREATEST SOLUTION EVER
4. Make mud seasonal
5. Have Molag Bol automatically banish mud thrower to Coldharbour forever. (my personal choice, unless they threw it in Coldharbour, and then banish them to Craglorn)

Are you serious?

As an aside, while typing this previous post, I got hit by mud twice.

More proof that people will complain about anything, however minor. OP, you live a truly blessed life.

Mudballs don't seem to be a problem on PS4 NA. During the festival players would use them, but it has since stopped.

OP, brah, this thread is really really silly, even for me. I will agree that you should be able to disable the effect and animation of YOUR toon.

Well someone is just being a stick in the mud.... I only throw at people I know or those who throw at me first. Personally, I've always thought it was kind of fun. I'm sorry you can't find any enjoyment in it.

I will throw mud at who I want, give flower crowns to who I want, and throw birds at who I want. You can't stop me. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Posts like this are why there's still lag in cyrodiil.

For some reason at some point..mud stopped doing the animation on me. Truly weird but awesome cause it doesn't effect me.

I'm easy to find. I'm the only one in a crowd of people with mud all over me.

This really only bothers me when some tool stands by the dye station and mud balls everyone using it. For some idiotic reason, ZOS hasn’t made it so the mud doesn’t show up while dying armor.

ForsakenSin

OP i don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for fix, I can tell you it will not happen . But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long completed events.

Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let this thread go, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will throw mud at you.

I so want to toss a mud ball at the op right now...

Rainraven

It died down a month or two after new life last year. I'm sorry you're running into so many mud enthusiasts, and it would be pretty nice if we could toggle the animation sequence off when mudballs are out of season (being covered in mud is funny enough right?)

Side note: I'm sorry about the crows - they don't actually die when they splode after divebombing you, and they get really loud and unhappy if they don't do that once in a while, so I'm afraid it's completely necessary. For medical reasons.

I was hoping we’d get a snowball this year

Soooo..

What is your platform and IGN? Asking for a friend...

Armatesz

I think the most annoying thing (really only annoying thing to me) is that when you are mudded and you were in 1st person view that you are immediately shoved into 3rd person. Which can mean that you were trying to talk to a merchant and you just accidentally stole a dagger or bow or whatever. Yep I have had that happen more than once. So remember kiddos don't throw mud at people at merchants.

Armatesz

Btw have you seen how being mudded interacts with your character look? That is some really deep thing they made into the game. It is not a standard mud look. Look at weapons and clothes and interaction with light.

Cage_Lizardman

I like to throw mud at people with fancy skins/titles when I'm just standing around at a wayshrine waiting for something. But the mud doesn't get applied properly to the vHoF/vAS skins. That's the only problem I have with it.

Jayman1000

I got hit by a mud ball once, I didn't know it at the time but thanks to your post I remember it now and can positively identify as a victim of a malicious mud ball slinger.
