I'm disgusted with the lack of courtesy with some questers in the Clockwork City Event!

Guess that I have been lucky on PC/NA. Very few idiots. If I see someone having problems I'll throw in some jabs at mobs to help out.

Hochstapler · November 2018

This is nothing new.
When I come across a chest in a popular zone like Murkmire atm and try to open it I only have one shot because often there are few potatos standing in front of the chest spamming their unlock button in case I fail (failure puts you on a cooldown of couple of seconds)

For more fun google Black Friday sales. Same mentality

You know, this is a great analogy. I never thought of it this way, but you’re right.

People fighting for nodes is like seeing two overweight people At Walmart fighting over a $100 Hisense TV.

No need. Heaven forbid you get a couple light attacks in instead.

ZoS is the one you should be pissed at here, as it was their genius idea to leave the top 12 limit for boss loot on such encounters.

I don't blame you for being upset and I'm not sure how getting 3g as your loot (if you even got that) would inspire new players to purchase and repeat the content. Forget getting actual motif pages.

Not the boss. The stupid 3 incursions spawns outside.

I know my post wont be read by many, but some people are just extra lazy. You get much more spawn points under the bridge! You dont have to patrol 2-3 spots with a dozen of people. Just move your ass and you will get all in no time.

I tried running all around in the circle for a few days. The result was white arrows appearing that disappeared before I could get to them. Over and over and over. The last few days what worked better for me was a quiet spot I found with two close nodes and camping them. That way I was positioned to grab as soon as they spawned. Less than ideal solution to a less than ideal situation.

Hopefully some tweaks can be made to such things. Simple in this case as to make those nodes sharable (like a bag of flour or box of tomatoes). Because the waves you have to destroy for the Crow WB daily are shared, that one was no problem at all.

It's the combat lock out coding that is at fault here. Let people harvest mats/open chests/pick pockets/do quest dialogue etc at their own peril if they want. It would 100% eliminate resource stealing, and let the first person there decide if he/she wants to risk their life for it or not.

Minyassa · November 2018

Yep. Some people are rubbish. I try to make a note of their name so I'll never sell them anything or help them in future. Best to avoid that kind of trash.

Ugh. I hate that. That's just mean.

Reminds me once when I was fighting mobs over a heavy sack in a delve, and someone came in and took the heavy sack from me while I was fighting. So then I followed that player around in the delve for a couple minutes until I saw him start fighting some mobs that were standing over another heavy sack, so I swiped the heavy sack while HE was fighting. LOL. Instant revenge. It was very gratifying.

Wildberryjack · November 2018

I had this happen and when I said "hey that was low man" I was told it wasn't my node, that it didn't matter if I was fighting the hostile by it obviously so I could harvest it and was called a dumb loser. Some people were never taught manners

D0PAMINE · November 2018

I always share, even through im not participating.

themaddaedra · November 2018

It goes both ways in MMOs, some actions are heroic and some are... rather idiotic. I remember people posting heroic actions here, like someone died to a troll in Wrothgar trying to reach a chest, then some hero killed the troll and mailed whatever was in chest to the person who died.

Can't say the actions of community are getting better lately, but maybe it's just me, idk.

Itacira · November 2018

Playing a pet class can be pretty useful in those situations. When I see a guarded node, I send my clannfear ahead so it gets the aggro and I can loot unbothered

Salvas_Aren · November 2018

Mr_Walker · November 2018

It makes more sense when you look upon it less as an event, and more an example of how people are both greedy and stupid.

freespirit · November 2018

The nodes under the bridge are not easier imo(for Imperfect)…….

I pick one node on the actual bridge and just farm that...….. rarely takes more than 10 mins for all 8 to drop

WuffyCerulei · November 2018

Yeah, people don’t have the decency to not steal your node. I’ll help you fight the monsters, but it’s your node.

Kamanakai · November 2018

I agree with the OP, manners maketh man!

I know that everyone wants to complete their daily quests and get the goodies. Unfortunately, some people are just plain opportunists and don't play well with others. In the past several days, over three times, I've been standing over a clockwork city scavenger item that I needed, fighting the Clockwork city mechanical beings that were guarding it, and someone came in and grabbed it, while I was fighting. Since they weren't fighting, they had no trouble picking it up! I'd say that it was mostly new players, but one of the opportunists had a character score of 810, which indicates that they've been doing this a while. People need to come out of the PVP mode for regular quests and daily quests!

I would blame the developers, not the players.

They were the one who designed the current system. Expecting players to stop and ask if you were interested in a nearby node while fighting before grabbing it themselves likely isn't going to happen. I've actually passed on a node before next to someone fighting only for them not to have even wanted it when they were done. Then of course someone else came along and grabbed it.

Rick, I have been complaining about this since day one.

Resource hackers.

They always will come in and steal what you believe rightfully belongs to you.

It's just too bad ZOS didn't make a friendly memento to interupt players in pve for at least 5 seconds that stuns them so you can pick up your resource node.

That will teach those 5 year olds a lesson.

Or tag a node based on the guards. any mob w/i melee rage you attack is tagged to the node, and acts as if you are farming it, with a 5 second window after combat ends. If someone is determined enough, they can hang out for the full combat +5 seconds to see if you actually grab the node.

Reminds me of early WoW days...I'd always farm on my rogue. someone trying to ninja my node? I vanish, mob targets them. I re-apear, /lol at them and grab the node.

Haven't tried that yet on my NB, wonder if their vanish does the same thing...

Never expect decency from anyone on a MMO, or go and play Eve Online, they would absolutely love you OP

If people are decent then good.

Then on that, I concede, @Tan9oSuccka

That is serious overkill.

RANKK7 · November 2018

Yes, you can come across some very gross people, just ignore them and keep doing your things, or put on ignore in case the thing has been hardcore miserable and it's worth an ignore slot, at least it's what I do.

flguy147ub17_ESO · November 2018

This event they call an "event" is just telling you to go do dailies every single day which is included in the game every day. Boring as hell to do.
