PTS: PvP Slaughterfish 3x damage test. Conclusion: One can still glitch through it ...

With the 3x increase of the slaughterfish damage in Cyrodiil, i had been wondering if the glitch that allows you to bypass the slaughterfish damage was patched by ZOS or if one could still exploit it.
Without going too much into detail, this can be done by *any* class, it has nothing to do with shields or class abilities like streak. I also didn't record any video because that would obviously show how it's done.
Instead of picking one of the new destroyable bridges, i picked a spot where one has to swim through a *lot* of slaughterfish infested waters to reach areas that are supposed to be unreachable.
In fact, this lets you get behind enemy lines and freely explore the outside of the Cyrodiil map.
None of this is new, this has worked since beta ...
Trying to get "out of the map" at this spot will get you killed quickly be slaughterfish.
To proof the point, i did a initial try without the glitch.
As expected, i didn't get very far ...
Now lets try this with the glitch. And voila, we made it to the shores behind the ship ...
But wait, can we get even further to the island with the tower in the heart of the Topal Sea?
And from here, we can still go even further south, east and west along the bottom of the map and eventually back up north to get behind each alliance's starting area.
So in short, the 3x damage for the saughterfish has not fixed this.
The glitch makes the damage increase completely pointless for those who know how to circumvent it ...

Well yes, of course people can still kill you while you're in the water. Just trying to point out that slaughterfish as a means to block people from taking certain paths is not going to work as expected if the player(s) know how to glitch through the slaughterfish damage ...

It’s more like balance “whimpering”.

✭✭In case you haven’t seen this yet. Exploration outside the map is in jeopardy, @Apherius.
I had fun with this glitch. ( No exploit )
When they released the Aldmeri grotto I created a thread about the next house coming thank to this glitch ( Psijic house), hope I saved people's money.
Sad they fix it, I always like to see what is hidden behind invisible wall or beyond the slaughterfish.
But it's probably a good thing, it will prevent exploits in blackheart haven lel ( fight 15 min agaisnt slaughterfish or rush the dungeon in 10 min).Edited by Apherius on September 20, 2018 4:28PM0 -

Pulque✭✭✭It’s fun to go out of map. As long as guilds don’t exploit this to steal keeps, it looks fine. Also you can blame these slaughter tanks for all lag and disconnect. scapegoat found!
Really fixing this is like bottom priority compared to lagging, texture missing, infinite loading and etc.
Consider these, out of map architectures east eggs. You don’t get gold from them, you don’t level up for going there. I mean it’s fun to have guild mates get together and explore these strange places.Edited by Pulque on September 20, 2018 6:23PM0 -

It's a lot of fun. And this pretty much guarantees it will be nerfed. ZOS has a long-running bizarre obsession with sucking most anything fun out of this "game" they develop. It boggles the mind.1
