Is vMA broken?

zacvanm · January 2018

Keep getting killed in Frozen Blood round when she breaks the 2nd island...while I’m already standing on the 3rd island. 3 times in a row it’s happened. I’m gettin killed by an AOE that I’m nowhere near.

What't your ping rate while in the Arena? If it's over 400, the server might still be registering you on the second island. Not the first time VMA has lag murdered someone.

Idk actually, I’m on ps4. It seemed to be running very smooth. I closed app and reopened and tried one more time and it was the same. Not on 2nd island and still get killed =/

Could be a bug. If possible take a video (include your death recap of what killed you) and post it. If it's a bug, that should help Zos some figuring out what is going on.

The poison round needs to be looked at. If you get poison = instant death. Bleed damage is absurd as well

@xiZeroPointix No judgement right - but your statement is not right at all.

You have safe spots in that arean - which I show in my videos (not promoting myself) just a statement.
The bleed is real but can be easily mitigated with either defense sigil or healing sigil - as well as your ultimates on most chars.

I mean no disrespect. BTW

Playing vMA on my NA char lately. Ping is around 200. I noticed that AoEs hit me very often even if I’m clearly outside. The Argonian Mage streaked to me in stage 7 and I died several times, although I even anticipated and dodge rolled when he began the animation 10 meters away. Server lag really is an issue.

Has it ever worked without any issues?

Yeah there are safe spots..but the problem is that when you are hit by the poison, and you dont have a sigil already active. The dot will kill you before you can get to the cleanse. Literally .75 sec-1.2 sec and its a death. Its L2p issue but still the poison dot is overperforming lol. Of course this is a stam character in all medium and roughly 17k health. The poison dot hit for 8k per second so yeah u only have roughly 1.5 sec if u arent being attacked by a troll or the boss. Another thing is that when the argonian behemoth does his scream and u stand under the mage sheild..then a venom caller shows up and u get hit..ur dead because if u leave the scream will hit for 50k and the poison dot will kill u in under 2 seconds. Its the strongest dot damage in the arena and is ridiculous. My first time through i spent about 30k in gold for repairs and i was using soul gems ( not advisable) and went through 3 stacks of them due to the poison dot. They will also stack and when they go off create an un avoidable 30 meter aoe so there is no escape. I found ways around it and i have watched a few of your videos..excellent content by the way! Among others. The rest of the arena is doable and still retains the difficulty that vma should have. As far as the amount of damage recieved it is too strong. It needs toned down slightly to at least allow players to reach the cleanse. Unless you are standing right by the pool. You will not survive unless you have a sigil active or you have a really tanky build. One more thing..if u bash the behemoth to intterupt the scream, instead of standing under the shield you will instantly recive a bleed that has added up to 50k on my death recap. Its said 50k x12 which is roughly an 8k per second dot...dead. Too strong and overpowered compared with the rest of the arena. I mention it here because i had deathbrecaps from every round and stage...the poison dot and the bleed from the behemoth is stupidly over powered.

Just beat it again today in fact on PS4 NA, and once last Friday. No bugs at all, everything is the same.
Most likely your connection. Not sure what else it could be, but I can confirm VMA works just fine on PS4 NA.

ForsakenSin · February 2018

speaking of VMSA something weird happen on sat night on the last boss for some reason everything seamed to be sped up the damage my character was doing was amazing the crystal was destroyed way before the first wall came, my character movement was so quick the movement bar swapping ive never killed the last boss so quickly that me go wtf just happen .. ive managed to finish it in 1hr and 10 min or so

@xiZeroPointix

Yep but if you use the safe spots you won't get hit by poison - so I'm not sure what you mean "but the problem is that when you are hit by poison" - You shouldn't of got hit by poison in the first place if you use the safe spots.

You can also time the callers to not spawn during that phase... so that can be avoided also. This is all about pushing at incorrect times.
I honestly feel like everything in that round 7 can be easily avoided with enough practice and knowledge it's all about timing that one.

Nope if u stand in them without the poison. The mobs that come within a certain range of the pool will not take damage anymore. The get a damage shild of somekind.
