vampire feed gank...

olsborg · January 2015

This happened to me today, been a while since last time, but heard alot of guildies had this happen lately too.

Some vampire sneaks up behind you, feeds, unbreakable stun for 5 or so seconds, other player soulstrikes you or batswarms you. No way to get out even at full stamina, youre pretty much guaranteed to die, lame tactic, but people are abusing it.

Should make it so you cant take dmg from anyone else(but the feeder) during this time, or make it breakable.

I had this crap happening to me a couple of times, I smashed my keyboard into oblivion, I'm surprised its still intact.

Zergging or grouped fighting is not everyone's preferred play style, not everyone has fun playing this way, I don't enjoy grouping for pvp mostly because I get no real satisfaction for killing someone 10 - 1 or sneaking up in a gank group and sniping someone riding along. I have been perma cc'd a few times, I like facing people for a proper fight and the vampire feeding tactic is the abuse of a broken system.

Look for a fix in 1.7......

It is annoying and frustrating because you cannot do anything, BUT the vampire will loose one stage. So this is limited and has kind a cooldown.

Maybe Zenimax could change this not breakable CC in a CC that "just" goes though blocking?

There should be no feeding on pvp players. It is cheesy.

Roechacca · January 2015

It's very hard to pull off . Unless their in a group spamming roots so your back stays turned or you just don't move in pvp very much .

Mukuro · January 2015

I like to cloak up and feed off strong tanks so ppl can stop wasting time hitting theyre faces against his/her shield and just kill em already...

Not very hard to pull off. Even easier to pull off while you're in invisible batswarm.

Don't know why you can't CC break this ability.

Vamp feeding then gank is beyond stupid, but when someone does it in my group its funny so Im conflicted =\

gibous · January 2015

The current prevalent combo looks like this: vamp feeds and cc's you for an eternity while at least two others stealthed spam lethal arrow.

Extremely wack. Could probably be fixed in code via HTML.

Vampire losing stage does not make it limited. A vampire can feed regardless of what stage they are at.

Bouvin · January 2015

If you're outnumbered, they should have an advantage. Maybe even a large one... but it shouldn't guarantee a death on your part.

ZOS seriously needs to consider immunity timers for Stuns and Fears.

Sypher · January 2015

Just for reference.

I had no idea what the hell was happening to me when this happened, luckly my side killed his side before I went down but still very annoying. Then again I am sick of Vampires in PvP ever since they use to spam bat swarm 10 times and kill other players in a single second.

The fact you openly admit using this knowing it's an unbreakable CC and find it fun to use shows the type of player you are and character you have. Disgusting.

Sotha_Sil · January 2015

Imo they should just deactivate vampire skills in pvp and your problem (and a lot of others) would be fixed !

Taking it a bit seriously, eh?

gibous · January 2015

Any person with a forum account posting on the reg is taking the game pretty seriously I'd say.

I wouldn't agree with that. Sometimes you just have extra time at the office and in general the ESO community is filled with decent people.

Probably for the same reasons Fear is the only unblockable hard cc, also probably the same reason you can't interupt resto staff heavy attacks that let them just keep restoring magic. All these reasons are dumb reasons mind you.

I hold out hope that the next patch rectify these issues. If AOE is blockable, and yet resto staff heavy attacks are not interruptible, and fear us not blockable, and vamp feed is not breakable, I probably will just rage and not enter cyrodiil anymore. I'll just finish whatever new content they bring out, and then leave till the next content.

Those are really the big issues in pvp. I can handle everything else, even the sorc pathetic damage, but those three things listed above are deal breakers for me.

So wait, all of us have to suffer because a few people are [snip]? Mass punishment still alive and well I see.

so that means.... about half of the playerbase has to forfeit their playstyles?

what a fantastic solution

well, you said you got fed by vampire and his companions killed you while you are stunned. it seems not that unfair. you are killed by 3 ppl. you must have been killed whether or not vampire feeding. oh! are you able to survive against 3 ppl? then, it seems that's unfair. and it's funny to see Sypher whinning about vampire feeding while he is playing OP dk. lol woo! surrounded by ton of ppl and still being able to tank them is much much op than vampire feed lol.

and only nightblade can feed somone in combat by using shadow cloak.
it's clearly limited by situation.

Any class with invis swarm can feed on you. and they can kill you by themselves if they swarm and begin the feeding while you're low health. Also, invis pots, sneaking, it's just easier to do it with a NB.

Also, I'm not whining, I'm just pointing out a broken mechanic. Don't worry, they're nerfing the big bad DK soon, but guess what they're not nerfing, player skill.
