Could y'all show a little courtesy, please?

jssriot

Everyone's doing dailies for the event. Everyone wants to get them done ASAP so they can go do more. We all are.

But if you're in a delve and see 4 or so other players heading to the boss, could you be kind of enough to wait a bleeping second to let them get a hit in instead of immediately burning the boss down with your ulti and biggest dmg abiltiies and making anyone who was just a half-second slower than you wait for the boss to respawn?

Kthxbye

No

That just like asking questions in /zone, most likely nobody will care.

I actually do slow down and wait for others to join in on the fight whenever I'm in a Delve or Public Dungeon, cause I know what it feels like to be one or two seconds too late to catch up and then having to wait the full respawn cooldown.

And I feel like I'm the only one who does.

If you want to ask people for a favor, it's probably better to avoid "kthxbye" at the end ... just sayin'.

And as to your "request" my answer will be "no" for two simple reasons :
- If I wait, others might not and I'll be screwed
- If I wait for the next one I may also wait endlessly for the next... and the next... and the next... actually the first one I waited for might be the one who selfishly kills for his own purpose !

Also, there's no harm in waiting 3 minutes for a boss to respawn. Respawn timers have been an issue in the past, but they've been fixed.

I was raised to be polite, so I do wait for others to get a couple of hits in. Regardless of the rudeness out there.

This sounds like something the delve bosses would say...

strangeradnd

If I know someone else is in the area I wait or if I am already engaged in combat I will switch to evasive maneuvers until they can get a couple hits in. If I don't see them coming in time, sorry, I would have waited if I knew because I am playing for fun first and I know karmas a, well lets just say she isn't always nice.

but...what if that boss leads to a box that gives me something to sell for uber gold...and slowing down for you either
a) allows someone else to sell their before me and then may force me to lower my price to sell, or,
b) you get uber items with me instead of some seconds behind me....?

having said that....i'd a probably waited but farmers are in it for the gold i think...and the above thinking makes gold and sense!

This.^^ You are a rare breed too, my friend. Just glance through this post for reinforcement of that point. The entitled calling courtesy entitlement is ironic. I'm with you, I'll hold up a minute to make sure someone doesn't get shut out in hopes they would do the same for me...they usually don't, but I'd rather be bigger than that.

Sometimes I think people feel that being courtesy costs them something or...hurts.

Guess I'm not one of the "cool kids".

jedtb16_ESO

if i see non cp people going for the boss i wait til they get their hits in.

otherwise if i hit it first, it's mine.

Shawn_PT

If there are others waiting for a spawn I either go with light attacks or just drop a single AoE and let them do the rest of the job.

Nope, you are not the only one. If another player is in the boss room when I’m getting ready to engage the boss, I’ll usually wait a bit to see what they are going to do. Just courtesy and giving new players a chance to have some fun.

Kanar

I do a few light attacks and an AoE so other people have a chance to get their hits in.

Stopnaggin

The extra few seconds waiting for others is no big deal. I'm not going to wait while they clear an entire delve but if they are close ill give it few.

Sorry but this probably wasn't the best approach op. You will only get salty answers in here.

In general dvelves there is no reason to wait to kill boss, but I have been waiting for some time in group dungeons in Cyrodiil for some bosses to respawn again so the "old" group bosses still take some time to finish.

It is reasonable to wait in a group dungeon when you see other player nearby and you know it might take some time to get it to respawn again, so they can get it done.

OP: If you are in such dungeon, why not ask if there are some players around in zone chat that also wish to complete that boss with you and group up? That way you will trigger boss again faster when you kill the other bosses and for farming XP it is s more efficient way as gain loot and XP from all mobs.

I saw that, dude. It was pathetic and brutal. I truly hope the responses were from smarmy children...otherwise I'm compelled to spend the rest of my days underground in a bomb shelter. The gimme gimme mentality of the community on Xbox NA is fairly toxic most of the time. I'm not one who cares much about words, but a lack of logic and self-awareness pains me. I think most are trying to get it first so you can get it last. The attitude typically comes from the anti-social vendor types...which also tend to be the ones who try to sell gold for real money. One can only assume these are also the same type of people you see trampling someone at Walmart on Black Friday for some poorly made, cheap television that no one would ever want if it weren't being sold for 3 bucks and a jawbreaker. Pretty gross.

If I see other players in a delve, especially low level players, I’ll use zone chat to tell them I’m at the boss and waiting. I’ve even held back after getting a couple of hits in and just healed the level 7 guy trying to heavy attack the boss to death. It costs nothing but a minute of your time to be courteous, and can really improve a stranger’s game experience.

Cyrodiil delves are a totally different thing. There I always try to coordinate with other players.
But normal, PvE overland delves ? come on...
And no, I will not ask in zone for people to come for a boss that takes 3 seconds to kill (by myself and even in group dungeons) and 3 minutes to respawn. Courtesy is one thing, silliness is another.

Loralai_907

I always hold back if I know there are other people nearby. I'll even take a second to make sure I don't see anyone sprinting towards the boss. Especially during events when we are all trying to be as quick as we can to get things done.

vamp_emily

Just a reminder, I have a new monkey that gets very scared around players. Please, if you see me in Daggerfalls DO NOT try to run my monkey over with your mount. The last event my monkey bit someone at the Jester tent.

ZiRM

Courtesy online?! Very rare... I learned that when I was just a wee lass.

Gargath

I pretty much don't care about others in a delve when I play solo, since I was in countless situations when "my" boss was pulverized before I made a single shot. But the problem is so easy to be solved, if "your" boss was killed without you, stay there awaiting it's respawn and you will get your kill. Problem solved, nobody had to wait for you, no need for you to thank others .

WuffyCerulei

Gotta love the sheer amount of buttholery here. Can't yall act like decent human beings and be a little helpful in this event?

srfrogg23

I would, but... I don’t want someone else to kill it while I’m politely waiting for someone else to catch up.

i hope you realize i had to have 34 stitches because of that.... and therapy

can't you muzzle it?

Aebaradath

Oh, please! I'm extraordinary gentleman. I'm distinguished. If they made a Mini-Me, they'd have to cast Peter Dinklage.

I share all my dailies with others and double check by asking in chat before turning any in. Unless they're Elves. Ain't no Mer touching my dailies.

Jolipinator

I'll show you my little courtesy if you show me yours.

Recremen

Everybody acting like OP is entitled, naive, or in any other way somehow the bad guy needs a serious reality check. There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking for a little courtesy and awareness. It's fine to say "hey, I'll do my part, but no guarantees how others will behave" but pretend OP is in the wrong for trying to act like a normal civil human being is completely barbaric and lizard-brained (no offense intended to our Argonian friends). It's OK to have some empathy, develop some awareness, and act with some courtesy.

Nelson_Rebel

To be honest, I don't think people do it to be rude.


I think most are just thinking "Gotta kill this fast to get to the next daily"

Your situation paints it like you were a foot away, that's likely not the case in most situations. Where you happened to port to the nearest wayshrine and you ride out for about a minute.

If I'm there and I see no one else nearby, I'm killing then the boss dies. And then I move on.

I have several characters and waiting a few extra minutes everytime adds up over all of them
