NBO: Nightblades Online

Treasure_Goblin · September 2015

please change the title of the game to better reflect its playstyle and community.

It is abundantly clear nothing will be done to keep Nightblades from crowding out every other class in PVP, so why even try to sugarcoat it? Change the name of the game.

An alternate title would be "Stun cloak fear stun cloak fear stun cloak fear"

Someone just got smashed by a nightblade :-)

MyM16sHot · September 2015

I've had luck using Immovable and detect potions to counter this but thats just me. I play Nightblade and I still think those abilities are worthless.

Callous2208 · September 2015

I got smashed by one last night. With 2 teammates! Dude was just better than us. Maybe had a bunch of cp's too, I don't know. Don't even think we got him to half hp unloading everything. Props to him though.

Edit: Original post may have sounded like I was implying nb's are op. They are not, this guy was just good and I suck, that is all.

HairyFairy · September 2015

you want a wammy burger with those french cries?

phairdon · September 2015

For those of who have not died from a nightblade attach, can we have an option to keep the original game title?

frenchyuk86 · September 2015

Nigh blades don't give me my kill. I get them down to below 25% then they vanish to never be seen again

Kobaal · September 2015

I still like Equestrian Simulator Online.

Nightblades are in fact really annoying.

As a Sorcerer, I don't have any abilities that will reveal them so I'm forced to enter turtle mode. I have Detection potions but the window to find them is pretty narrow. Your walking speed is much slower than a Nightblade's Concealed Weapon sneak speed. So all that time that's passed on the potion, you're spending more time trying to catch up with him as he runs away and it'll run out (About 13.1 seconds max alchemy VR 5 potion)

Since most Nightblades are Stamina in IC, they'll have plenty to cast Cloak if they become low on hp. They run away, regenerate resources back then go back in the fight.

It's the new Sorcerer.

I wish people, like the OP, played a NB so they'd understand the weaknesses that go with their strength.

So very true. This is the reason Why I have one of each class. Granted my templar is only lvl 19 at the moment.

It's evident to me that if you have played multiple classes and understand their strengths and weaknesses your tendency to QQ goes way down.

Xendyn · September 2015

A nerf Sorc thread this morning, a nerf nightblade thread this afternoon.

We should just call it "Nerf whatever kills me today Online"

HungryHobo · September 2015

AoE's are a great counter. I Steel Tornado as soon as one cloaks, they cloak again, I tornado again, they cloak again... then when they are almost dead they turn to fight and get tornado'ed one last time. If they get away, good on them.

UrQuan · September 2015

You know, I haven't taken my nightblades to IC yet. Perhaps I should give it a shot and see how it goes.

GreySix · September 2015

So, Nightblades are sneaky, attack folks without warning, and then fade into the shadows?

Say it ain't so!

Every class has the ability to reveal them. The skill is in the Mage guild line & is a morph of Magelight, not to sure what it's called but I'm sure it will become very popular

They aren't all NB's, also a TON of pvp-ers using dual wield because Deltia said so...

I love finding a sorc with dual wield and him literally not doing anything but frag/curse because he can't weave.

sagitter · September 2015

Dude what's going on, every thread about yours it's a QQ .

Strider_Roshin · September 2015

You want my honest opinion? Nightblades are annoying, but if you uncloak them, they're easy kills. Right now I think Dragonknights are overall the toughest class to kill in imperial city with Templars being in second. And that's because these two classes don't rely on damage shields or cloaking. They're just naturally tanky. The exception are the ones that wear all light armor.

I think templars in Reactive armor are the hardest to kill... Period.

Try a SMAW from above...oh wait..

Meanwhile Magicka DK continues to be the most oppressive, odd and bizarre experience ever, just like Magicka Sorcerer, Magicka Templar and Magicka Nightblade.

Nightblades are free kills just like they always have been, with Radiant Magelight and detect potions and the only thing you have to worry about it is disconnecting and developing headaches and migraines from starting at a monitor for extended periods of time where the sound of your keystrokes become ear-splitting.

If you had been playing TESO as well as TESO:TU you'd have much clearer perspective and would be able to more eloquently portray your refusal to build your character against the Nightblade class.

Nightblades are not a problem; the problem is refusing to create a character in order to remove your weaknesses as best you can as opposed to augmenting your strengths as best you can.

Refusing to acknowledge build diversity as well as the outright refusal of players to get creative and create builds that can work in awkward situations is the main cause for concern. You need a balance of numbers across the entire board to be effective in this game, this goes for all attributes, regeneration, damage done and damage taken; you need to achieve the adequate golden ratio for that specific build including all glyphs, item sets and everything mentioned in this paragraph.

As politely as I can possibly say; if you're going to refuse to encourage, facilitate and advocate constructive discussion you're never going to understand how to stop yourself from feeling anxiety and creating these negative and emotional forum threads for the entire community to see. Tamriel Foundry has a wealth of theorycrafting threads with loads of helpful information so you can actually understand what's going on and how to make your experience always a positive.

TESO:TU seems to be moving in a positive direction, why go out of your way to to make a positive a negative with such bizarre forum threads? Giving the mods more stuff to worry about and unnecessary extra work.

Wait until you see the new crop of lag induction nightblade cheats.

They fear you and fear you again and use concealed attack from range in multiples.

Same lag cheaters, new magicka based nightblade to cheat with.

Greatsword · September 2015

Just wait for the NBOTU release...

JDar · September 2015

Some stamina nightblades only use one combo and don't know how to do much else. Learn to deal with a crit-charge soul harvest surprise attack combo and you have handled most of them.

Jim_Berry · September 2015

I'm happy sticking with PvE content

I started the game as Nightblade at release of the console version, and I'm kinda glad that I tossed her to be a tank/dps. I no longer felt exclusive as there are a ton of Nightblades now. Because I was Nightblade, many people wanted me to do PvP, which I was not interested in.

Stravokov · September 2015

Imperial City is the ideal habitat for nightblades. this will all fade once Orsinum comes out and no one bothers with IC anymore.

flavor of the month always changes.

Agreed. I foresee fotm to be Orc DKs in 7 heavy/ogrim's set with maxed out health regen to counter the shotty heals we're receiving since the update. They will outlive everything. I'll be prepping mine shortly.

Mage light STOPS ALL STEALTH STUNS and counter stealth bonus damage if you don't want to run it that's your problem just keep dying, fear gets DKs, Templars and Nightblades off me, Mark stop nearly all Nightblades not as useful vs other classes we all run powers to not die to OP play styles mark or caltrops and enemies or me just die.

OP: OMG they have no heals or shields and they can kill me it's not fair I forgot how to use Mage light, Green Dragon's Blood + really anything, Harden Ward + mines, Blazing shield + Jabs, Mark + anything.
