Great pvp trap used.

crowfl56

Last nite while riding to help a keep take I see what I thought was a dead enemy player.

So, I ignore him and ride past, big mistake, he he.

He/she pops up, and throws a few arrows my way and dang im dead.

Well I would like to say , WtFG player for an inventive trap .

A couple things to look out for:

• Dead players land on their back, not their belly. (/playdead)
• Dead players won't have an active health bar.

You should make another thread asking to see more creative, ingenious, stratagies and tactics.
They really sold me on pvp

Lol I bet you had the play dead guy in stitches. You definitely made his day

Ectheliontnacil

The enemy alliance icon is greyed out on dead ones.

Also why would you play dead in the hope of some noob (no offence) riding past, when you could just enter in stealth and be invisible to all your enemies? Not a very smart trap tbh. It's fun though.

If you see a dead player between keeps that means some ganker is nearby

That is actually pretty funny.

One of my favorite things to do in IC. Take your group in the districts and walk over to a sewer grate leading to the underground. Have one player out in the street with his bags open (clearly not paying attention). Everyone else on the sewer door. On the count of 3, the players on the door go into sneak mode, making it appear as though they are entering the underground and will be on a load screen. Wait for the inevitable ganker on your lone street player. When they appear, jump the ganker with your superior numbers. Wait for the hate whispers. I call this "gank the ganker"

Lol! The first time I ever entered PvP I saw an enemy running away, chased him/her over a hill, and was met with simultaneous snipes from 12 ppl....I wasn't even mad, just like wow this is pvp...

I will tell my greatest (almost) trap story.

I was riding along between BRK and Sej. I see a columbine right in the middle of the field, and not gonna lie, Bear breaks for columbine. I get off my mount and go to loot the flower and it was nothing but worms. I immediately get a burst from a ganker, somehow recover, and manage to kill him. We engaged in a little discourse after the fight, and he admitted that he had got quite a few people with that trick. I thought it was pretty good.

I've definitely been dead on my belly before.

Never paid much attention to enemies really, but pretty sure enemies who are poisoned clutch their throat, drop to their knees and fall forward.

Yeah I've had it where they get a friend on another faction and lure people with this, bit low if you ask me

There was a loan night blade on his horse, facing the other way. I thought, nice, low hanging fruit...mistake. As soon as my light attack hit him and I came out of stealth, a gang of DC became un-stealthed and disposed of me quickly...

You tricky tricky DC you...

I'm sure I've died on my face loads of times. But maybe I'm just remembering wrong!

The_Brosteen

I did /playdead once hoping the zerg approaching me would think I was just bugged. It worked until a sorc pulled me out of the emote with hurricane >.<

8/10 would try it again

only second option is apropriate. several times I've seen dead players standing, sometimes looked like "turned into stone statue" during run or jump

Have ya'll ever seen when someone dies, and I guess they re spawn or something, but their corpse is just moving around like they are running, but it's just their corpse sliding all across the floor? *** cracks me up!

Yeah, it drives me nuts because you try to rez them (and can't of course) and then notice they're running around with the little + sign above their heads/corpse...

I was running around on my own in Cyrodiil and decided to tag along with a DC group. They all but one stealthed up by a tree and the one sat on his horse out in the open. Was obvious what they were trying to do so I got a safe distance away and watched for a while. Sure enough an EP jumped in on the lone DC player and the DC group rushed in for the easy kill. That was a mistake. The lone EP player was bait just like the lone DC player was bait. DC all died in a hurry. I watched as the DC group fell for the same (or similar) trick three more times then went off on my merry way as it looked to happen again. No matter how the DC group played the trap the EP group was one step ahead.

Was fun to witness.

I was at Chalman Mine a few years ago and I was surrounded by EP. I ran into the tower and typed /playdead on the second floor behind the tower. To my surprise, 3 EP just ran by! Sadly as a 4th (sorc) ran by their damn pets attacked me and ruined my sad attempt at surviving. RIP

those traps are ok.
trap I hate is, when you see mate from your aliance fighting someone from another. you decide to help, so you're approaching and... your "aliance" stops "fighting" and you're killed fast by his opponent and 2-3 more hidden at rock above

That's not a trap, that's treason!

Wait. What? There are loan night blades in this game? How did I not know this? How do I roll a loan night blade?

Syncronaut

Hm...maybe he meet me.

I sometimes /playdead to trick low cp players to come close to look.

It also works well if you get chased and out of combat to trick the enemy player that doesnt use setting to show gain on kills.
