So after PC patch, Cyrodiil guards

Krayzie · August 2017

Are guards supposed to be able to use every skill set in the game(including siege merchants)?

Are they meant to be able to go to full health from 5%?

I was just wondering if these features since Morrowind were addressed in the patch or are they not a bug at all.

I thought this was fixed months ago

Marabornwingrion · August 2017

Are they still spamming CCs like crazy?

Not on console, 'm Xbox, and I doubt it was fixed on PC unless the patch fixed it, why I was asking.

They were doing this before Morrowind, so absolutely.

I just assumed this was intentional. PC NA

@ZOS_BrianWheeler any word on this?
Retaking resources solo takes a lot of time because guards are spamming CCs like there's no tomorrow (especially eclipse). This issue was reported in June and you said it's not intended. How many months we need to wait for it to be finally fixed?

Beardimus · August 2017

That was fixed a while back? Strange.

I don't know why you can't break eclipse now, can't tell you how many times I dawnbreaker myself even a second after eclipse pops and still hits me.

It's like they're purposely taking measures to eliminate small group/solo play and are wanting people to zerg in order to take keeps yet their servers can't handle it, specially on console.

It's now 10x more difficult to take an outpost with a small group cause at any point you can all get perma CC with 5 negates dropped on you.

Annoying indeed

Since Morrowind or so we can't break free of Unstable Core. I played as stamina character all that time and it is easy, but when yesterday I tried it on magicka nightblade... I remembered why I loved the day when doors were removed from resource towers

Are they meant to be able to go to full health from 5%?

Not sure about all npcs, but Honor Guards were always doing it - their version of Dragon Blood is very nice. I remember when I went to Cyrodiil first time and saw how they used this heal; it was intimidating

Drummerx04 · August 2017

Try taking a resource as a sorc and you'll start noticing some really fun stuff. Did you know that if you get a frag in flight and THEN get eclipsed, the CC will be reflected, but the damage will not?

Also, Eclipse can't be the trigger for a break free, but if you break free from another CC, it breaks the eclipse too.

Morgul667 · August 2017

That was fixed on PC last patch. Is it bugged again or just some reminder ?

LadyDestiny · August 2017

Lol broke again.....:D

Krayzie · August 2017

Been broke since Morrowind on console, streak still broke too

Krayzie · August 2017

Siege merchant just used warhorn?

Feanor · August 2017

It's still possible to solo a level 5 resource if you have an undisturbed 10 minutes and a bit of luck. But it's true, the Honor Guards have the DK skill set and can use Eclipse too. Also it feels like you get eclipsed every 5 seconds or so, and the Dragon Blood heal from 5% to full is annoying too. Definitely seems like the bugs are back.

Edit: DK chains, Vampires Bane and Eclipse don't apply Line of Sight correctly. You can get hit even if you are in the tower through the walls.

Wonder if he is available for trials?

Robbmrp · August 2017

I love running to the flag of a resource only to get 6 or more Negates cast on me... soooo much fun.....NOT!

WillhelmBlack · August 2017

I remember years ago when I Jesus Beamed a guard when I was at full health and she cast an Eclipse on me and I took 32k of it back in face. It must have directly copied the damage.

I don't think they'll ever give the guards a new skill set, my favourite at the moment is the 60k self heals haha

That's the next version of Nuzimeh in the crown store for 10,000 crowns. She will cast the Warhorn when summoned.

Biro123 · August 2017

I swear eclipse appears the instant frag procs.

Feanor · August 2017

@Biro123

I second that suspicion. But then it doesn't matter much because you find yourself in an infinite Eclipse loop anyway. BTW, what is that greenish bubble that stuns you? That's not a skill I have seen any player using ...

Agree. But this - take a resources - can be a litle more hard.

OutLaw_Nynx · August 2017

Nooooo not again

theroyalestpythonnub18_ESO · August 2017

I keep using all my stam trying to break free of eclipse like a fool

. unbreakable eclipse + 3 negate magickas in a row does not make casting a fun time.

Krayzie · August 2017

You should be able to break eclipe

Baconlad · August 2017

I kid you not. I was taking a resource yesterday. And got stunned5 seperate times in a matter of 10 seconds. Every stun i broke free from, had immunity. And they hit hard as mack trucks.

I had to take a second look to make sure i wasnt in no cp canpaign lol

Lirkin · August 2017

Please change this!

sentientomega · August 2017

I'm concerned, since these guards are also in capturable towns featuring PvE quests, I'd like to be able to do that and not be stun-locked.

ZOS_GinaBruno · August 2017

Hey all, just a heads up that we're looking into this, but would love to get some additional information including your platform and megaserver, which campaign you're in, the approximate location, and which abilities the guards are casting. Thanks!
