Before I begin. I did not know where to post this subject at specificly. There are three different subforums for PvP but I did not think that this question really fit anywhere into it.

Okay. PvP honor Guards.... Why do the have the abilities of a Dragonknight, a Mender, and a Mage Guard? I mean I see them cast Harden Armor, Dragons blood, and Magicka Negate. I mean What? Magicka negate? They also cast that black bubble around your character that reflects damage back to you and the CC that bounds you in a holy bubble that traps you for a few seconds. The only thing this AI doesn't do is use any nightblade attacks.... that I'm aware of. Why does this AI have the skills of 3 different player classes?

    The bigger question is why does this NPC spam cc like there's no tomorrow, and why are there two of them at every resource?

    to torture and troll us :p

    marginally larger question even still, if you're solo - why does it have to take a flipping half hour for the stupid flag to change banners, ugh...

    To prevent players from "solo" taking over the map. The developers want players to travel it groups, not solo.

    Why is it an issue. Doesn't really stop groups, even small groups, unless they're still learning how to attack stuff in Cyrodiil.

    Didn't say it was an issue. Just trying to figure out why this NPC as three differenct class skills.

    Though it can be annoying when you're soloing a resorce.

    it's even worse in IC where you can literally see the enemy platforns...

    I'm much better at writing about playing eso than actually playing eso - so, standing at a flipping flag by myself, alternately staring at a district entrance door than staring at an enemy platform, just waiting whilst it's turning is absolute agony...

    They are annoying but Honor guards don't prevent solo players that know what they are doing from taking a resource.

    Used to be possible to solo keeps. Probably still is but they needed up guards as a result.

    BTW, final boss in vDSA ends up using Templar, Sorc and NB skills.

    If you solo attack a level 0 (zero) keep it should be possible. Just need to be careful. Have to kill all fall NPC's as quickly as you can then try and take the flags.

    I am pretty sure it is the tower guards that cast the bubble on you.

    Anyway, I think it's fine but for the fact that there are no stamina counter parts to these spells. Where is the stamina silence, or stamina bubble?

    I hear it's called Cc Spam. Make the other guy constantly break free.

    CC spam effects both magical and stamina. Only skill that bothers me is the reflect damage bubble. It's just annoying but not that bad.

    Probably just to prevent nobody zerglings from soloing resources.
