Red rings on bosses

richo262 · October 2016

I can only assume this is lag related and not a bug.

Every boss that has a red ring damage that emanates from themselves always causes damage when I am clearly outside the ring.

It is not the end of the world if the ring is not insta-death, but when it is, the game really just becomes pointless for people with higher pings, because all information you rely on tends to just be blatantly wrong.

I'm not asking ZOS to defy the laws of physics and fix lag entirely, but work around it?

Can ZOS do something about this mechanically? For instance, have the final meter of every boss ring do no damage (like a saving grace for people with lag)? Or adjust these bosses so the damage in the ring is less the further away from the center you are? Because insta-death when not in the ring at all is getting really tiresome.

I have the same problem 90% of the time and I always have around 80-90 ping. I think the telegraph is just not lining up properly with the actual AoE.

It's not lag related unfortunately. There is a slight problem with the distance calculation though.

I've always thought they should add a second yellow ring around the circle to indicate the limbo zone where you may or may not be safe/ dead depending on how the game is feeling at any given time.
The ring needs to be approximately 2-3m

I figured my 300ping was the culprit.

If it is unintentionally wrong by design, then they should make the final meter of the ring do 0 damage, that way, all the damage that extends beyond the ring would do no damage, and maybe, just maybe, the ring and the damage, might mirror up. I still think insta death on the edge of the ring is bs and should be nerfed.
