Nerf Skyshard, ZOS

This is nothing compared to the hell of the SWTOR datacrons.

I always used to try and solve the hints in the achievements when the game first came out. I think I ended up doing every EP zone only using a guide for one. However the Silver, Gold and DLC zones I sadly moved to an add-on as time wasting became more of an issue for me.

This thread blew my mind.

Use the walk function and your problems are solved.

Why am I getting e-mail notifications from this post? I dont have anything to do with this, so weird !!!

Nevermind, I favorited this post somehow...

I am one of the few that actually liked trying to get this skyshard.

Anyone who had to get the holocrons in SWTOR find the skyshards to easy. Especially the holocron on a small ledge on Correlia where you had to jump on a very small moving platform > <

And yeah, holding block is the solution. I did it jumping backwards.

Yes. Title is not a joke.
And ESO should not be an arcade game, depending of player's jumping abilities.
I mean skyshard in Murkmire, south of Dominus Fatum, locating at sharp, tiny peak of the rock, unnaccessible from below. Player needs to jump down correctly.

Maybe it's funny for someone 20 years old, esperienced in arcade games. For me, over 50 old guy with slow fingers, is not fun trying time after time and repeatedly fall down to water. And go around to try again and again. With first alt I've done it accidentally maybe at 10th attempt. And I have 14 chars more. Need this skyshard to be done at each of them, as I need skillpoints

sorry for you..............
I am in guild where we lately discovered that we are most oldies, speak over 50, the eldest is 67, and guess what, we can do it^^
just take your rollator and get moving!

turn on walk + block + walk over the edge = literally land on skyshard

Xarc

Are you serious ?

Also my first thought, I never got them all, wasn't worth the frustration. This shard took me three times, toggled to walk did the trick.

or lore books placed under objects so you cant getetem

deLioncourt

Walk to the edge, hold block, land on skyshard = win

rexagamemnon

make sky shards account bound and lore books

Many of the skyshatds were like this in beta. The very first skyshard you came to in the starter tower made you jump across a wide gap at the top of the tower. You died if you didn't make the jump.

There were others as well that would make you walk up beams, jump to another beam, and continue like that.

I sort of liked the idea, but the issues with movement, stuttering, and lag made them sometimes impossible.

Valrien

Did you guys try toggling walk?

Please change the title of the thread for something less ridiculous.

From my perspective all skyshards should be placed in a way like this or even harder reacheable, because (following what Turelus wrote above and I agree) "this is nothing compared to the hell of the SWTOR datacrons".

If SWTOR some of the datacrons were reachable only with another people equipped with a grappler. Some required a proper team play mechanics. Datacron runs were the most interesting guild events I remember from SWTOR. So much happy jumping and falling down and trying again with helping each other .

I never understood the doing the same thing on 14 alts style of playing. I’m like get the absolute minimum skill points and then go fight.

That's because you're playing a main plus alts that you want for the endgame. The players that you're talking about play multiple characters all of whom are equal individuals rolled for the full game.

Didnt have a problem, got it first time - people seem to complain if anything in the game is not easily obtained - just like in RL.

I did this one last night and I roll-dodged right over the edge. I was trying to make baby steps but hit the "W" key too fast. Fun times.

Edit: Also - at least it's possible to get to all the shards. Imagine a fun little Easter egg where 1 odd shard (i.e. an extra one) was inaccessible and was placed there to torment players. Oh, ZOS - you so funny.

i totally missed that one the first time, landing in the water. Did a block-shuffle to the edge the second time and landed right on it.

I would disable the double tap roll dodge and bind it to one button

And there was one Skyshard where you HAD to complete the entire Reaper's March story. They eventually changed it at some point to just be sitting on a nearby rock

hehe, I remember a guy failed this one. I laughed a bit. But can understand frustration. Solution here is to hold block while walking.

Maggi12

just use block and walk forward slowly. it is very easy.
