The Fabled GameMasters existed once, apparently.

ArchMikem · July 2017

Didn't even search for these, they just randomly showed up in my recommended list. It's a shame these guys aren't meandering among us today, sure would be nice to watch them work, though I can understand the need for them on PC during the early days.

The Devs, or people who work for the Devs that police the game, making in-game moderation against rule breakers.

"Antibotty"

I like it; it's clever.

Sanct16 · July 2017

small indie company can't afford to hire Gamemaster.

captainwolfos · July 2017

I figure it's supposed to be a play on "antibody", but seeing "antibotty" just makes me think of someone who is against butts.

Yes, this is absolutely relevant >_>;

people banned for minor stuff and mutes make so you cant talk and all kinds of COP type action all around you.

They got replaced with a programm which caused massive lag for over one year and when the lag improved, the bot problem came back with a vengeance.

freespirit · July 2017

I remember way back when they also made appearances to aid player's to progress in bugged quests......

It seems so long ago!

Edit:- Mind you there were some game halting bugs back then!

Glaiceana · July 2017

Wow, I didn't know they looked like this, saw a screenshot of one before I think, and they weren't all ghostly in that. Thanks for sharing

I would love to see one.

Yet they can afford to give a million bucks to some scrub player who never even reached max level and probably doesn't even play anymore...

If youre a rule breaker then yes, you dont want them. But im too much of a goody two shoes to care. Do i have an urge to cuss or troll in chat? No. Do i need to play shady like CoD scam? Of course not. I dont see the problem.

MasterSpatula · July 2017

They used to personally answer tickets in chat back at release.

You know, like you do when you're a company that deserves to be running an MMO.

BraidasNM · July 2017

only devs ive ever seen were on the 1.6 pts cyro event

Nordic_Pirate · July 2017

I haven't had a gamemaster sighting in this game yet. So far I have only spoken to one in UO, and LOTRO. The things they can do...it's insane. The LOTRO game masters had a base in the clouds that was always there, and they could look down on the world and had a bunch of tool boxes up there.

Wrecking_Blow_Spam · July 2017

I would like it so I could dizzying swing them then teabag their corpses

wolfxspice · July 2017

that old frost clench animation, beautiful, and lv. 50 cap, amazing, i bet he was wearing old hundings to, what did it give? crit and 20% weapon damage, back when 3 pieces were a thing, i miss 3 piece sets.

HeavyMetalAngel · July 2017

That would be cool to see.

This. They'd also show up and remove players that were harassing other players. But Zenimax no longer cares about that and reports of harassment are ignored.

MarbleQuiche · July 2017

Seen this - very awesome!

Bots used to farm delve bosses by standing at their spawn point and spamming templar aedric spear puncturing strikes thing. Was really annoying because it meant nobody could get an attack in in time to register a kill contribution. I reported a group of a between a dozen and twenty of them once and the GM was there in like a minute. Poof, they all disappeared

These days you put in a report and get a canned response 20 days later. I guess they mothballed their GM team.

DRXHarbinger · July 2017

They don't use them anymore. Sometimes they just pop up on their own characters to check stuff out. They did it for when pig farming was such a thing. I know for certain. We scattered like roaches under a light when we saw the red Z. This was on XB EU.

Yeah, I really hated it when one of the GMs showed up in a dungeon where players were trying to kill the boss to finish the delve, but no one could get a hit in because of the mob of bots 4 deep around the spawn point. The GM showed up, told everyone not a bot to move away, and nuked everyone who didn't. It was glorious. Zone chat was flooded with people thanking him, actually. [in case you can't tell, I really didn't hate it. Saw it happen more than once, and really thought it was fantastic]

I wished a GM would show up at the dolmens that had dozens of bots heavy attacking the empty platform continuously. I wished a GM would show up to nuke the bot trains running through Shadowfen. Unless you are chronically doing things you shouldn't be doing, you shouldn't be worried that a GM shows up. Note, please, these are actual employees, and not privileged players who could abuse any powers given to them.

LadyDestiny · July 2017

Lies....all lies. There are no Game masters in this game!

oMrRust · July 2017

I actually seen a gamemaster in game this year. Gamemaster Zeal i think? He was in alik'r desert whiping out the dolmen bot farmers.
