/kill command

Browiseth

i think it'd be useful to have a /kill command that, as the name implies, kills the player instantly. i don't know if anyone else ever has the same experience but it seems zos has never really been able to fix how janky leaving combat with enemies can be, with dying often being the only way to de-aggro enemies

ok thanks bye!!!

Definitely a great idea. Although would also be nice to have a poisoned apple item a' la Elder Scrolls Oblivion, that can be consumed by a player or reversed pickpocketed onto killable NPCs (alternative way to kill NPCs for RP shenanigans).

This is why I carry ravage health potions with me. Too easy to get stuck somewhere stupid

I can see this being useful in overland, but I can see it being exploited in PvP and Battlegrounds etc, so it would have to be disabled in those zones.

Unless I've been attacked by another player who's slapped some kind of active effect on me that's supposedly going to last until the death of the Sun, I can usually get rid of aggro from mobs who are nowhere around by crouching and sneaking. It might take several seconds, but eventually I become "hidden" and am no longer "in combat," at which point I can come back out of sneak and hop on my mount. But it doesn't work if I'm afflicted by some ridiculously-longterm active effect.

People would just /kill themselves as soon as they thought themselves or their group or their faction were going to lose. To deny enemy player a kill or AP. ZOS need to fix the stuck in combat bug in PvP. Any workarounds would require enough checks to prevent abuse that ZOS might as well fix the bug. Like, "You can only use /kill when X and Y and not Z." OK, that might be an acceptable way to prevent abuse. But, in that case, why not just remove players from combat if X and Y and not Z? Any well thought out workaround would be better used as a condition to leave combat.

Make it a Memento? Last I checked those weren’t usable in PvP anyway.

Could have used something like that a few times.

~ player.kill

~ player.setav health 0

Wait, wrong game.

I would rather see that bug fixed, but at this rate we might see the heat death of the universe first, so I would settle with a "/recheckcombat", which checks again if you are supposed to be flagged as in combat and, if not, drops you out of it. Give it a cooldown to prevent the hamsters from exploding.

Agree, overland I found that an AoE as in hail or arrows or elemental wall anywhere tend to take you out of combat.
In Cyrodil you usually want to die during PvP that is players or npc guards, as it let you spawn at any location your faction hold. If you die from other sources say fall damage or in an delve you can resurrect on site or at the base wayshrine who is less useful.

Double rolling (I forget what it is called) can also clear combat status. Except in the Wayrest Sewers which get horked up at one door quite easily. Or the dungeon where you climb the mountain and you can get one mob aggroed, but stuck behind a wall.

Just wanted to mention in my last few runs of Tempest Island the guy behind the wall finally was granted a Major Courage Scroll from the Wizard of Vivec and now comes out to fight with the rest of the pack!

Players with bounties would just use a kill command to keep from staying on the server during the countdown, so guards couldn't catch them and confiscate stolen loots.

Being a Ancient Dinosaur (Genus Dagensaurus Rex ) My idea of a /kill command would be a bit different.

For those pesky times the game will not quit...instead of CTRL ALT DEL a simple /kill would hard stop the application.


I miss things like that in 80286 architecture....
