It's starting to, yes. But it's mainly because of boredom and zones being empty every new vet zone I go to. I don't mind solo questing in this game but I don't play MMOs to be alone and never find people for group content. Three months after release, at that. EQ eventually gave players npc mercenaries to group with when pops dropped but that was almost a decade after release. This is just ridiculous.

I even today, for the first time since starting, had a look at my subscription page today to see how much time I have left. 10 days to decide if I really want to stick with this. I also picked up watchdogs in case I want something new to do. Haven't started yet but probably will in a bit.

Bored-quit is probably a more accurate term. But yep.

Nah. This game brings out my bi-polar, schizophrenic, running around naked in a straight jacket side. Other than that I enjoy it.

3rd edit lol

Should at least TRY a heavy attack after blocking heavy attack.

i think the vet areas are just dead because everyone has figured out its is to hard and non rewarding to stick with so the start a new avi in hopes that they will have it fixed by the time they get back to the vet areas.

Oh, I'm sure, but this game is so linear I'm really not interested in starting an alt. Any alt I start will be in another game. lol Plus I craft on my main and want to keep building. His build in general. Love my toon. Just bored with doing the same thing over and over and then having to constantly backtrack to dolmens and bosses when there are finally people around, etc.

There is really no good reason for the upper levels of an MMO to be empty 3 months after release.

Nope. Have never rage quit a game in my life. Difficulty to me = challenge/puzzle to overcome.

Hehe. Yea, me to.

This boss is CC immune, not that I have any on my char. And yes, I have tried heavy attack after blocking and it doesn't knock her down or stun her like with normals.

Was wearing 5 L 2 Heavy, might go for more heavy since I still had magika left every time I died. Health is basically softcapped.


The story line's pretty fun, I guess that's why, in spite everything, I slog through it.

lol I love how you kited the boss to the stairs, died to the restricted area, then complained about it. cuz thats zenimax's fault.....lolol funny video

No offence, just being honest with you.

I have seen a couple player mistakes (it happens).

Never said I didn't make any. Sorry I was performing at the limit of skill, whatever that might be. Have you ever recorded your own boss fights and watched them back frame by frame? We all make more mistakes than we think at the time.

In some situations you were a stationary tank , doing nothing useful just blocking.

Don't know if you can see at youtube quality but power attacks come often... besides, with multiple adds it got to the point where all I could do was spam heal and try to dodge what I could. Auto attack if I can but I need to preserve my power and stamina.

Some moments you could have been more efficient and get some advantages out of certain situations. Like switching earlier get away from mob while refreshing hots and use some damage skills while kiting before switching back to shield.

I was frantically busy mashing buttons as it was.. I don't have the kind of reflexes you talk about. 250ms on average, I've cheked.

And why did you pull and then cast mutagen instead shortly before pulling?

All those little things costs you HP and time for overall dps.

Stress ? Panic? My first go was the first ever go and the boss caught me unawares, I didn't know where she'd spawn. I was trying to swap to my sword and shield bar then use my armour buff skill Ransack, but Mutagen is on the same button and the weapon swap never happened. Meanwhile trying to move and autoattack and block.

And why you try stuff on a narrow place like known issues with stairs (as your comment says). So basically you know that narrow places will cause problems when dodge or dealing with adds, why did you pull them to stairs then if you know that some trouble awaits you?

Because I was getting murdered by the ghosts, I asked for advice and no-one mentioned ghosts being a problem, I thought I was getting the adds when my guild mate wasn't because of my positioning. It turns out he just nuked Vox down so fast no adds came.



I never said I was a good player or that the boss is impossible for good players to beat. But the way deaths that occur due to lag spikes and user interface issues frustrate more than others. When you know what you need to do but can't make your character do it = more frustrating, than just doing the wrong move or not knowing what to do.

It's also a lot more upsetting witnessing your character death in this game than some faceless marine in a FPS I find. Particularly as these games, the death never occurs in the protagonist's timeline... you go back to the last checkpoint, everything was as it was before the unsuccessful encounter. As opposed to running back from the rez point with holes in your armour , stepping over all the corpses of your previous failures.

Stress and frustration... that's kind of the point Eivar.

Which i'm kind of experiencing still and so stop gloating. I never said I was perfect.

Btw. where are your buffs when you really need them and have some time to refresh em? And why did you pull first and then cast mutagen instead shortly before pulling?

All those little things cause senseless HP drops and costs time for overall dps.

And why are you kiting stuff to a place you can't deal with, like well known narrow places like stairs tons of collision detections that cause some trouble.

As well you were standing at some places for a very long time, why did you decide to pull them all over the place but then stop on a specific narrow place like stairs? What did you try todo? What was the purpose of moving and then being stationary again, your timing was really weird.

Good advice.
I'd also say try moving around more. I don't think your build is capable of being that tanky. Pick a predetermined, open path to run around in.

Forget about the spirits. They are pointless. Don't waste anything on them. Just keep immobilizing them and create some separation from them. Drag the boss with you and focus on her and keep your buffs hot.

I know nothing about high level templar play, but I would only suggest that you use Quick Siphon on the boss on your second bar with resto staff. Just keep that on the boss at all times, really helps and works much better than Degeneration. Also, you can try using volcanic rune if you want to keep those spirits at bay. That fight sucks regardless. Like a lot of veteran content, it seems over-tuned since the 1.1.2 patch. Good luck.

Yes thinking about it, fire rune/volcanic rune would have made things much easier. I could handle the boss fine. Think i'll finally put some points in it. Can you tell me what that quick syphon does on your toolbar? I've googled it but the generic tooltip gives me no idea what the magika cost is vs heal amount on a similar level character.

Degeneration is pretty efficient and can be stacked on multiple mobs , which is what I was doing when getting ganged ..

On my character, Degeneration does 264 damage over 14.4 seconds.

It has 3 ticks of 89 health restored, and a 15% chance of weapon attack healing player for 115% of damage caused.

For 118 Magika that's a bargain.

Soon i'll be perfectly prepared to face... the last boss I fought, not the one I am going to be facing next.

Yes. In fact its someone elses ragequit thats caused mine.
