Nb was stealing jelly beans. How do you target a specific Nb in game especially when they are sneaking around ,seems like he would get killwd anyways.. Just happens that someone is,counting now. So now you habe to stop killing Nb because someone is,counting. How does,that work? Sounds like you just need to steel someones tell var and you get a free pass. Lol.

Seems to me players die in ic anyways. Seems odd that you habe to stop killing Nb when he gets to,keep killing.

So here the other day after a long day of work, i decided to go tel var farming in IC sewers. So i when i got there doing my route i noticed it was only chests with simple lock all the time (alert!) So i keep running and i dont see anyone else there so i decided ignoring it and continue farming.

After a few hours of farming (still only simple chests around) i fall down to 25% hp on the next mob group and bam! A bannana NB stricking from behind and im down, lost 12k tel vars

I got so pissed i got some guild members to spam kill him everytime they encountered him in IC, and now the count is they killed him 62 times the last 2 days.

Is this overreacting or would you do the same? Anyone else had experience with these annoying NBs in the sewers?

First of all its pretty dumb to runn around with this much telva. Secondly this is a pvp area so yeah ppl will attack you! Third, people like you are the ones that cause all this saltyniness and anger in this game. That guy got the telva fair and square cause you messed up! Starting a witch hunt on him you shows what kind of person you are. You should be banned for this! Bulling other players like that aint cool and and goes against the community.
All the guild members who joined should be ashamed and I hope this happens to them so they see how dumb this is.

Everyone plays this game to have fun and or relax. By trying to take that away from ppl you are just showing what kind of dip**** you are.

Even more amusing is he made a post about it and advertised how much of a chicken doodle he is.

Got killed in a pvp zone
Gambled with his Tevlar and lost
Rather than man up and taking it as a learning experience he instead calls in the troops to avenge him ..rather than take care of it himself.

It's a PVP zone and your guild is tormenting someone for them participating in valid PVP. Sweet.

It's a PVP zone and his guild is participating in valid PVP.

Once. A few times. Sure.
The way the OP is worded and 62 times would almost certainly be considered griefing if that person were to report it.

Good thing there are no rules that says how many times u are allowed to kill someone in a pvp zone

They are rules against harassing other players and it applies to all content.

Very well, so if u were in my shoes what would you do?

When I am in IC I accept the risk of possibly losing some due to being ganked, zerged down, or being out played. Fight the fights that happen, win or lose; and move on.

You admittedly got your guild to set out to make this person's experience in game bad. Couldn't even sack up enough to try to settle it yourself.

Of course i tried finding him myself, but apparently he was good at hiding .. apparently hes not up for a fair fight.

Yes i did, but waiting around for another player to waste their limited hours, just so u can steal that from them, and prevent their progression for your own benefit. How is that much better?

Taking other people's telvar when you kill them was explicitly designed that way. It's on purpose. It's part of the game. That nightblade or anyone else that may have come along and wrecked you is playing Imperial City for how it was designed. If you can't handle that, at the least keep it to yourself, if not removing yourself from the zone entirely.

He/she validly took your telvar by way of the game design and a purposeful mechanic of the telvar system and you got goon squad to harass over it.

The guild system is designed so that people work together towards one goal, whatever it is, trading, trials, or hunting a particular character. It is designed that way, it's on purpose. It's part of the game.

Does that include harassing?

Who said anything about harassing? Hunting down a person for revenge is harassing? Do people not RP these days?

If you dont see how killing a guy for 62 times or whatever by getting your guild to do it for your noob asz, is harrassing then you are either plain stupid u gotta rethink on this matter.

Inb4 this thread's inevitable closure...

8 pages is FAR too much attention for what is clearly a nonsense hypothetical scenario by the OP.

No nightblade was camped and killed 60+ times over the course of 2 days.. please.

I dont care if you are eva angelina and your guildees have the thickest of neckbeards, no half self respecting player is going to dedicate the time and energy to hunt and keep track of a kill count on a single nb over 2 days who happend to score some chump change tel var on you. That kind of *** happens every few minutes in IC.

You couldnt pay anyone enough gold to roam around ic for a specific nb and zerg him down on multiple occasions across multiple days.

Maryal, I'm guessing you weren't around before IC got nerfed and the flags were put in? It was a dangerous and wondrous place back then, with PvP happening equally upstairs and in the sewers. I would be against turning the sewers into a PvE area.

I'm not sure you can really appreciate nightblades, until you've played one. When I'm NOT playing them, I think they're an absolute pest, but playing one is not that easy. Their natural playstyle favors stacking damage, and their buffs operate in a way that makes it hard for them to be tanky (short acting, and tied to your rotation). I agree there is something cowardly about their playstyle, but then again disengaging from a fight with shade, or cloak, is how a nightblade manages their health and resources. The ultimate expression of that style is the ganker, who only engages at opportune moments in the first place.

I think people make some unrealistic assumptions about how to fight nightblades. Specifically, the only really good way to detect one that's not already engaged in combat, are potions. Those have adequate range and they won't alert the nightblade. I don't find Radiant very good, and Inner Light / Expert Hunter are downright pitiful. What those skills are good for, is keeping the nightblade from disappearing, when you are already engaged in the fight. In addition, here are some of the lesser known, but effective, counters:

Consuming Trap (Soul Trap) prevents the NB from cloaking properly. Also excellent for resource management when farming trash mobs.

If you put a DOT on a nightblade, and they cloak away, and you have combat text enabled, the combat text will give away the NBs position when the DOT(s) tick. I believe this is the ZOS combat text - haven't tried this yet myself. I got this tip from Gilliam the Rogue.

Actually, I've played a stamblade for well over 2 years. I remember when IC first came out ... the mob difficulty was much much greater and both the sewers and districts were brimming with pvp'ers, so much so that for a short while, Cyrodiil became rather empty.

I don't have a problem with NBs in stealth or any other class sneaking or using invs pots when in an alliance war area. When you are getting ready to go to war, you prepare for it ... pvp gear, pvp pots, food, bar abilities, etc., On the battlefield you have to be prepared for almost anything, including attacks from assassins ... the ones we lovingly refer to as 'gankers.'

IC isn't what it was when it first was released. After a while, very few folks went there ... it was kind of a dead place to go. Very boring. However, things in the district area picked up a bit when ZOS turned it into a battlefield extension of sorts by making each district capturable. This resulted in a decent number of skirmishes that go on in the Districts as part of the alliance war.

Although ZOS could have, they did nothing similar to the sewers (nothing for the alliances to fight over in the sewers). The sewers continued to remain rather empty, and this is probably one of the major reasons why more pve'ers started to venture there (for pve purposes). I think we forget sometimes that IC is the only place you can go to get tel var stones, and there are a lot of things you can ONLY buy with tel var stones ... things pve'ers would like to have. Sigil of Imperial Retreat? Costs 10K AP. You don't have 10K AP if you are a pve'er.

Detection mechanisms are fine if you are an experienced pvp'er that knows what to do (and is geared up to do it), but sadly, detection mechanisms may not be too much help to folks:
1.) with no meaningful pvp experience,
2.) wearing pve armor,
3.) whose skill bars are set up for pve, and
4.) whose health-bar still takes a dip when fighting sewer trash mobs

I know that voicing my opinion about sewer ganking on these forums is not going to win me any popularity contests. But, sometimes you just have to do the right thing and call something out for what it is, popular or not. The bottom line is that these sewer gankers are cowards .... clear and simple. They are bullies. If any of their victims are brave enough to voice an opinion in these forums, the sewer gankers 'gang up' on the OP and that person gets victimize again.

nope kill all nb's i have showen guild how to deal with them, no one who goes now gets killed by nb's

MANY players are quitting this game because nb are one shoting or killing targets in 2 seconds, period, this is the truth, and they need to be nerfed into the ground, both magika and stamina nightblades

This is a joke, right?

You quit because Sorcerers were underpowered?

eh

Sometimes I take my werewolf into the sewer and circle the enemy's "toilet bowl" a couple times if an enemy zerg is farming bosses. Good stuff.
