Pvp kills in public dungeons?

TyroneShoelaces
Today I was casually fighting some ghosts in forgotten crypts public dungeons, suddenly died to five ticks of a suppression field that I didn't see or notice, as well as an arrow spray from another player.

I've seen some weird glitches over the years, but this one is definitely the strangest. Hopefully just a one time glitch and not some weird exploit someone found. :-)

    Did you accidentally accept a duel? That's the only thing I can think of that isn't a bizarre glitch.
  • TyroneShoelaces
    No, don't think you can duel in there anyway.

    It might help to show your death recap and map of where you died since mage skeletons can cast negate and bow skeletons have a form of arrow spray

    I also play on PC from time to time but I just wanna be left alone on there so sorry.

    When I was inthere a player was complaining about being PVP killed, I just assumed he lost a duel or was unlucky with some AOE or something. I didn't think anything of it untiul I saw this post.

    Could it be a pvp map instance overlaps with this dungeon instance in some way? [Note, not a programmer, just a very wild stabv in the dark]

    That particular location has archers very near it, so it is likely the archers that hit you, normal skeletal thingies. Less certain about the suppression, but I am well aware of the archers..that's a nasty place with regard to them.

    In your picture, looks like he was saying that was weird, and asking if you were in a dungeon at the moment. Therefor he was in PvP and all of a sudden he saw you in front of him with a suppression field on top of you and he finished you off... I think it's more Daedric Trickery...
    Ever since summer set the game is broken, you can't attack guards at the resources well, all attacks hit at once after what seems like time is being altered. I think there is something crazy going on in the Daedric fields and the time rips x_x

    You're misunderstanding the screenshot. Look again.

    OP, my best guess is that you died to an NPC's reflect ability. If A casts an ability on B, B has a reflect ability of some kind, and the reflection of A's attack hits C, the death recap will say that C died to A's damage. Were there any enemies in the dungeon that have a reflect skill of any kind?

    Heh, mass confusion. After that death, I messaged that player who's name is in my death recap if he was in a public dungeon, he replied that he was. I don't slot suppression field, or acid spray. Nor have I ever seen anything reflected back at me in that dungeon.
  • TyroneShoelaces
    So, we were both in forgotten crypts at the time, but somehow his skills managed to hit and kill me.
    So the overlapping with pvp area is out the window, although I don't know which part of that dungeon he was in at the time. I'll login with a second account and slot those two skills and try them in different areas of the dungeon and see if I can hit myself on the first account.

    Wow, something is broken in the dungeon. Or is that an understatement.

    Maybe the other guy sent duel invite inadvertently and OP accepted duel unknowingly and then all this mess happened

    The acid spray dmg doesnt look like it was cut in half by battlespirit.
  • TyroneShoelaces
    Yes I bug reported it in game.
    I'm pretty sure you aren't allowed to duel inside public dungeons.
