[PvP] Another 'This is rediculous' thread. One shot kills are becoming the norm.

SirAndy · July 2015

@ZOS Yes, you read that right, another thread from the whiner guy who needs to learn how to play.

This is happening more and more frequently now. Shield stacking builds that take 30 people to even scratch their health bar and 20k+ damage one shot killing snipers.

I like your hints.

Super useful.

technohic · July 2015

All kind of mute as we know at very least they are changing the damage being done just in Cyrodiil alone along with what sounds like a meaty balance pass with the update coming with the IC.

One shots are a problem.. however if someone can take on 30 players simultaneously through shield stacking, that says more about how utterly worthless those 30 players are than about the "shield stacker".

Yes, that's the spirit!
Blame the broken game mechanics on the utterly worthless players like myself ...

If a sniper snipes another sniper, does the target die because both are glass cannons?

Vizier · July 2015

If you were running magelight those hits would have been about 10k most likely. Your fault for not running an active counter.

That sniper probably wearing 1 million gold plus in gear too you know... just saying. They aught to get something for their money and time invested. Still you could counter it with a simple spell and or being more diligent.

Sorry... new PVPer here, magelight can cut down attack points?

Your going to complain about the NB yet we have healers and DK that are pretty much invincible even against like 10 people Ive seen it...fix that first NB is working as intended

Sorry to tell you... but no one had even mentioned NBs in this thread. Snipe is a weapon ability, available to all classes.

SeptimusDova · July 2015

LOL that happened to me soooo much today. I got rekt in the rektim by the snipes today. It was bad. When I go to sleep tonight Im checking the closet for Snipes. I had counters on but what can you do when its a firing squad of snipers? Not much but give them he11 and die well. It was fun. I didn't have to ride back to the keeps dying saved me the horse simulator.

Teridaxus · July 2015

This is the future, this is imperial city...

give me a stamnína magelight ...

SeptimusDova · July 2015

NO you dont get a Stamina Magelight you didnt eat all your vegatables and you broke the last one we gave you. Have a carrot and a green Campaign reward!

Oh and here is 500ap

P.S
One of the snipes who sniped me dead to death was a Templar! How do I know Because after the Teabagging of My corpse he gave someone the Jeezuz Beem.

P.P.S
It was mad fun today but the lag made me feel like I was fighting a dragonbreak.

P.P.P.S

Radiant Magelight reduces damage to and your allies from stealth attacks by 50%, and also prevents you from being stunned by stealth attacks.

Forestd16b14_ESO · July 2015

This along with some other stuff such as shield stacking is something that needs looked at. And to all those saying just run mage light yea I for one IMO am not gonna change my play style and runs skills the "pros" use just to live in pvp wearing a full set of heavy armor alone should be enough to cut it down 10K or less but heavy armor is sadly still lacking little bit in PvP.

Sausage · July 2015

Battle Leveling is coming to VRs too, thats what you get when you dont remove VRs, when you say you do. Worst possible launch for consoles IMHO. Ive not been able to 1-shot, but I can 2 or 3 shots quite often.

Morvul · July 2015

well, come the IC update and it's increase on the Cyrodiil damage reduction from 20% to 50%, those 22k snipes will turn into 14k snipes instead.
of course people will continue to accumulate CPs, so they will creep up to 16k over time - but that is still a lot more manageable

Molag_Crow · July 2015

Yep. One shots (even though I got 2-shotted technically, but still) are so annoying that I even recorded this one!

Radiant Magelight reduces damage to and your allies from stealth attacks by 50%, and also prevents you from being stunned by stealth attacks.

IMO it and heavy armour may as well not exist for some, In fact I'm convinced radiant is just plain broken.

The reality is, It's either one 18-22k or three to four 5-6k hits in such short succession you're lucky if you recover.

and I love the 18k heavy attacks from stealth too, again despite , magelight and being in stealth yourself

There was one who made this a trademark but he has several clones now.

must be amusing for them, joke kinda wears thin the 10+ time it happens for anyone else though, the troll works

SkylarkAU · July 2015

Riddle me this:

leepalmer95 · July 2015

Feel bad for stamina builds, forced to use a mage guild ability just so they don't get 1 shot.

The zos logic is funny though, instead of just simply reducing the dmg on snipe slightly, they instead feel the need to reduce all of cyrodiil damage..

Nobody should be forced to run certain skills in order to defend against broken and overpowered game mechanics.
Magelight is really only useful in stopping the stun from stealth, you'll still die from nightblades or any class that knows how to insta-cast 5 skills in half a second. Too bad the other 3 classes can't run magelight on their 3rd bar like a sorc can....

V14, 20k+ hp & heavy armour..

Leandor · July 2015

@SkylarkAU another one of those known bugs, albeit this time purely UI related.

If you get killed by expert hunter proc, only this proc is shown on the death recap. The abilities that actually caused the proc are disregarded, but still there. You probably have been sniped to death.

SkylarkAU · July 2015

Figured it was something like that, thanks @Leandor

Leandor · July 2015

You're welcome

F7sus4 · July 2015

Have you ever been killed by Know-The-Mechanics? I was and I took the advice.

OK wasn't sure, I wasn't trying to be sarcastic or mean or anything just trying to find out, I see they said you must have been sniped from above in the thread. They are lowering the damage output in Cyrodiil with 1.7 so you will take less damage.

Septimus_Magna · July 2015

Damage will be reduced by 30% so the 20k snipes will become 14k snipes which will make it easier for players to survive attacks from gankers. With the upcoming dodge roll changes I dont think gankers will have any chance to survive if they dont kill someone with their initial burst.

Hm, interesting numbers. The "patch notes" posted by Brian Wheeler said that the damage reduction within Cyrodiil would rise from the current 20% to 50%. That means:

22k / 0.8 = 27.5k damage without 20% damage debuff

and

27.5*0.5 = 13.75k damage with 50% debuff.

No clue where your numbers come from, but this is the math that was confirmed by ZOS.
