It's extremely annoying having people glitch into outposts and kill all the guards before the outpost is already flagged.

It's gotten pretty old pretty quickly.

ZoS pls

    It's allowed.

    Tired of people getting inside?
    Stop standing by the ledge.

    Adds element of surprise to the game and I like it.

    Meh.

    Outposts should not be defended by players. Leave that to the NPCs. They are designed (by ZOS) to favor the attackers, not the defenders.

    What?

    I'm talking about people ambushing through the door onto guards or having guards pull them through with chains. You can't jump onto walls from people anymore.

    No matter how egregious or well-publicized the exploit itself or the exploiters, as long as it happens in Cyrodiil and doesn't involve XP, ZOS won't do diddly about it. The bans they sometimes hand out are just temporary; we see the same exploiters back in game after just a short time period. This has been an ongoing request for over a year now and very rarely gets a response much less action. Just accept it and move on, talking about it will run the risk of getting YOU banned from forums for some naming and shaming crap.

    The only way to put pressure on them is to post vids on reddit/facebook/any social media you can - that's the only thing that ZOS reacts to unfortunately.

    It's a pretty big difference, exploiting through the door of an outpost VS dragon leaping/ambushing/werewolf into a keep (not through a door)

    The latter is not exploiting.

    If it had said outpost I would of known right away about what was the topic.

    Sad but true
    "it's important to state that our decision to go with subscriptions is not a referendum on online game revenue models. F2P, B2P, etc. are valid, proven business models - but subscription is the one that fits ESO the best, given our commitment to freedom of gameplay, quality and long-term content delivery. Plus, players will appreciate not having to worry about being "monetized" in the middle of playing the game, which is definitely a problem that is cropping up more and more in online gaming these days." - Matt Firor

    You can do the former on both keeps and outposts, so again I reiterate the distinction is completely irrelevant and splitting hairs :p.

    Yeah you just chain your way on npcs into the inner keep, so yeah it is a problem, and the abuse is getting more rampant.
    You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

    Lol at all the people looking for ethics across the board in a video game. It is an exploited bug, the devs haven't fixed it yet, and players will continue doing it because they simply don't care.

    I don't know of any MMO where asking the community nicely brought about wide spread change. I've always known that the devs need to keep plugging holes and fixing exploits in order to bring players into line.

    Honestly, all the entering keeps and outposts through the exploits/bugs is annoying. But then I think about the individual doing it behind their screen and keyboard, I look at my biceps, and I laugh. True story.

    Considering that the nature of an MMO is to attract as many players as possible, dismissing those that promote ethics, and good sportsmanship seems a bit shortsighted. Cyrodiil is seriously lacking in the 'massively' part of a MMO, mocking people who'd rather take measures to encourage more people to PvP does anything but make you part of the solution.

    First off, I have never entered a keep or outpost, or main gate because I don't even know how to nor do i care to search around for the answer on how to.

    Secondly, yeah I am laughing about people looking for ethics and a higher level of etiquette in ESO or any video game for that matter. Players use exploits (more often than not) knowing it is an exploit. They do not care they want kills. It's up to the devs to bring the herds in line.

    they need to fix the LOS check on ambush, and add a terrain check to Dragon leap, Chains, and Pounce.

    Crit rush has the proper checks, ZOS use the data on that.

    If they were to make it a feature then I'd like them to bring back dragon leaping onto the walls, or chaining people down or up from the walls Along with other ways for classes to jump on walls and have fun (DK's cant be the only ones :c ).

    I personally enjoyed having people jump up on the wall, made defending a keep less of Siege v Siege, it couldnt really be exploited back then (unless a player jumped into the inner while the keep was flagged) The only thing that bothers me about whats going on today is a player can jump into a keep and kill all the guards, then flag it from the inside and if there is 2 they can capture it.

    This game has a good community, I've seen it since beta, the majority of folks are decent people, who don't exploit, or abuse broken mechanics. They're helpful, they're nice, and they want to see this game do well. It just so happens that they don't really hang around in Cyrodiil much these days. The individuals who subscribe to the 'win at all costs' philosophy haven't prevailed, they've just been left to rot in their own stink. Everyone else is moving on, or at least waiting for improvements.

    So yes, the overall ESO general playerbase has integrity. A metric S***ton of it. They're just quiet about it.

    For the record, I don't have an issue with players using plausible tactics based of their abilities: Scaling walls with wings and super human jumps to me adds some immersive qualities to combat - if you got the ability to fly, use it lol. Now if ZOS wants to eliminate these byproducts of skills, I will not argue with them.

    But this outpost nonsense is nothing like the above. First off it has nothing to do with wall in need of repair nor are they jumping up on the walls. They are manipulating a graphics glitch to gain access. It's cheating, plain and simple.

    Ban them.
