Things that make you say "Oh Come On!"

Emothic · December 2016

Hello, I'm Emothic and I created this thread to see what your reponses are. I decided to create this after what happend to me a few days ago at the time of this posting and became curious as to what others my come up with. Now I like to see things that happend to you that makes you say "Oh come on!", "Wow really!", "Are you serious!", "What the *", and so on. Not things you hate about the games that makes you say. Like: Oh come on he's using a proc set. or What the * my game crashed again. Nothing like that just things that are left up to chance, luck, and coincidence. For example:

I'm doing the daily undanted pledges to grind for a monster shoulder piece. I'm doing my last daily given out by that female orc chief who gives out the DLC dungeons in the game. I can't remember the name of the dungeon though, Its the new Shadowfen dungeon with lots of spiders, darkness, and that ugly final boss spider. I hear it is the 2nd hardest dungeon in the game. Anyways, playing that on vet with that statue activated to get the 2nd key. The group I'm with spent 3 hours fighting this final boss and we finally defeated her. Yes! 2nd key awarded. I take my keys and head to the reward chests. "Okay I need Engine Guardian with Impenetrable in either Medium or Heavy armor." I said to myself hoping it gets me an extra boost of luck. The first key is no good. The 2nd key, final key of the day. Yes! Engine Guardian with Impenetrable... light armor. "Oh come on! 3 hours of fighting the final boss with the added challenge for the 2nd key. And I get the right set, the right trait, but the wrong armor class." I ranted and complained.

So now what about you, I'm sure many of you have something that makes you say "oh come on!".

Stopped reading here.

I hope lovely Velidreth wipes you over and over for eternity after this nasty comment.

The most common 'Oh come on' from aussie players at least is dying to a red circle when you're clearly outside of it on screen (pve), or slow/buggy cc break/weapon swaps (pvp).

250-300 ping has been keeping the pc peripheral industry alive and well in Australia for quite some time!

The RNG is what usually gets me the most omg wow kinda responses. Especially refining. Ill refine 1000 ore and get no temps. And then 10 wood and I get a rosin

Grinding for literally hours getting Fighter's Guild up on alts in the overworld and farming resources for ages while waiting for queues to pop and no Aetheric anything to show for it.

When I'm playing my tank in vet ICP and the final boss is nealy down, only me and 1 dps alive, we can do it, and then my game crashes....

VDoom1 · December 2016

Things that make me go "...-_-..." probably Cyrodiil the most. Sometimes the lag is so bad I get a loading screen in the middle of a battle and when its done loading Im dead. Like really?

DC spawning at Bleaker's or Sejanus when it's unconnected to the rest of our keeps, while we are losing our home keeps and scrolls.

People, out of jealousy, refusing to defend emperorship because they dislike the particular individual who is emperor, so our entire alliance loses a valuable buff.

People not ressing others when it will only take them about 5 seconds, cost them nothing, and give them the chance to turn the tide of the battle.

People sitting in stealth watching their alliance members fight, and then running away.

AD and EP fighting at the stupid bridge, also when DC has Emp.

Arriving at a keep with one or two full groups of allies and not a single siege machine.

Catching a double/triple proc damage set NB off-guard and smashing him down, only to get hit by 1 surprise attack and 1 light attack, double Viper and Velidreth proc and dying.

"Oh come on!"
This I yell all the time when someone is killing me in Cyrodiil and I cannot even fight back.

Blo0dstorm · December 2016

More than one year ago, I was playing some pvp, I thing I was in the EP alliance, I met as I was stealthed a group of 30 or more of AD players running to the keep I had left.
I just did what I do in that case I warned in chat:
Yellow incoming at <location here>, at least 30.
Some guy replied "don't say yellow, that's racist"
And added: "I'm asian, I find that offensive"

Never knew if it was serious or supposed to be a kind of joke (I'm not good at that kind of things, I mean making the difference between a joke and something serious), I just kept my mouth shut though some people in chat started to argue on the topic.
I was like"WTF!"

Crashing in dungeons.

When I sneak and it says detected but theres nobody around and when I'm trying to pickpocket/use blade of woe and a mudcrab detects me.

When I dismount at a door and press X to enter, but I automatically hop back onto mount, sometimes more than twice in a row.

Every time I hear "THE BAD MAN! THE BAD MAN! THE BAD MAN IS DEAD!".

oh, a new one for my list - a loading screen when in the middle of a PVP battle. Bad enough long loading screens when you transport, but to have one when you are in the middle of the fight is the ultimate 'Oh Come On'

I have one similar to that. I was in my guilds PvP group of about 24 players. We were sieging the inner wall at Alessia and the wall went down. As soon as the wall went down our entire group of 24 players got hit with the load screen. By the time we got out of it our entire group was dead and the enemy was already repairing the walls. Really? our entire group got hit with the load screen but the defenders didn't, and they were able to come out and kill us.

Kram8ion · December 2016

When there's that single player by himself just standing there next to a rock or tree unbuffed, on my way to a keep battle and think well that's just silly being exposed like that maybe he's afk....yay free ap and then Bam Bam Bam his friends appear and wipe me that's when I say "OH COME ON WHY DO I KEEP FALLING FOR THAT?"

This. Don't know if it's lag or procs or whatever, but sometimes when attacked no matter what buttons I press (or rather mash wildly in the hope of my character being able to do something) I can't do anything apart from die.

And then I was swearing at the game last night when I kept getting kicked from Cyrodiil & then could not get back in.....

Lag. Loading screens that sometimes turn into never ending ones.

First, congrats on completing vet CoS. Doesn't matter if first time completing or not. Yes, it can be a tough one for newer or folks not yet used to the dungeon. Ok.. now then. Not getting what you want from just two keys is really nothing to rant about, though. I had 30 something keys left over for the transition into this current pledges/3 chests setup. I was looking for a Selene shoulder (which I have the helm), but no shoulder after all those keys. I got 20 something more keys and still no shoulder piece. Not one.. not even one crappy training or prosperous shoulder piece. Currently, I have about 90 keys sitting in my inventory, and I am hesitant to even bother to begin using these keys again in pursuit of the Selene shoulder piece. Got lots of other monster pieces, though, but utterly useless because I don't have the head piece or like the traits.

However, I do understand your frustration. I can empathize. When you finally beat a grueling event, you want to be rewarded or at least get a better drop. Unfortunately, drops do not correspond to how hard or how much more efforts it had taken to complete an event. You would think, or it would just be so awesome that, if you had soloed a dungeon or world boss (because more efforts are being put forward) that you would get a better drop. Ha ha, not so, my friend. Not how it works in ESO.

Well, bottom line is, I believe.. although, there are lots of good monster pieces and other items/armor/weapon/jewelry pieces, not getting that one you are looking for or pursuing, is what is so heartbreaking and frustrating; particularly after many repeating tries (i.e., yes vMA deserve an honorable mention here.)

I think you're reading into my story a little to much. I didn't rant because I didn't get what I want, I complained because I got close to what I was wanting. I got 2 out of 3. Now yes I spent 3 hours and didn't get what I wanted, I would of felt better if I didn't get the shoulder piece at all then I would if I got 2 out of the 3 requirements for it. Basically the best comparason would be: You spend $1 on a scratch off ticket, you can win $50 but you have to match three numbers to win. Your first number is a 7, and your second number is a 7. You scratch off the last area and see a 6, so close.

Now to compare. That $1 you spent is that of the 3 hours of fighting the final boss. Winning the $50 is the reward or item that I'm needing, that being the Monster set shoulders. And matching the three numbers to win are compared to the chances of me getting the 3 requirements I need to use that shoulder piece.

So in short, my "oh come on!" moment was because I was so close but yet not quite there.

Fischblut · December 2016

Many things, funny and sad... Some I can remember clearly as the most recent.

I had 33 keys left and I just wanted to use them on that chest to get a sturdy Bloodspawn pauldrons... Should be easy to get a sturdy trait with game's awful rng?

...33 keys later, not a single Bloodspawn shoulder at all, but few sturdy Sentinel's and lot of Maw of Infernal in all weights...

Or when I grind for defending Werewolf Hide weapons... and get defending lightning staves few times

Or when I easily killed Khephidaen in nCoS solo two times, and never was able to kill her solo again on that character...

It's a mystery which makes me mad, as I didn't even consider her difficult those first two times.

Or when I see "masterpieces" of smart loot system:

Or many times when:

Oh, you're right. My apology.. ranting was a bad choice of word on my part. It was meant to parallel your experience with my rant. I get you, though
