Sihnfahl✭✭✭✭If you swim far out enough, you're hitting the world 'edges'.
Slaughterfish rise up from the depths and chew you alive.2 -
Jadeviper1974✭✭✭I have heard that there are some waters with predatory fish and possibly large sea monsters. Haven't see them myself, but I hope they at least put slaughter fish in the game.What is written above are my honest opinions. If you agree then; "Great!" If you disagree; "Great!" I really couldn't care less either way.0

Iarao✭✭✭✭I don't get any sort of warning? no indication that I have been attacked? and what about ON the dock?

gonzo914Soul ShrivenThere are definitely slaughter fish in the game. At least in beta there was. There was even an achievement for getting eaten by a slaughter fish.1

Awesome, I am going to try and get eaten tonight, lol. (In game that is, for all those naughty folks having naughty thoughts)

Sihnfahl✭✭✭✭Nope, no warning for swimming. You just start getting chewed on.
However, ON the docks? Which docks, specifically?0 -

✭✭✭✭✭On the docks sounds just plain fishy, not slaughterfishy. Might have been a bug.
Death by slaughterfish was suggested by a fellow PTS tester several months ago and ZOS ran with the idea and even added an achievement for it.

Sihnfahl✭✭✭✭Bug or he's on docks with hostile mobs that aren't displaying due to client error regarding the 'zoning'.0
-
Iarao✭✭✭✭daggerfall southern docks. no mobs on the docks. and no indication that I was even attacked on the docks.0

✭✭✭✭✭I have had this happen a few times. I realized it was because I swam too far, but is there any way to tell the difference between safe water and water that will kill you? Ya know, before it is too late!0 -

@Dagoth_Rac No real indication until you get attacked by the slaughterfish. If you turn around immediately, you have a good chance to get away, but if you hesitate, well you already know that outcome ...Dagoth_Rac wrote: »I have had this happen a few times.

pema✭✭✭The dark watter usualy is an indication of danger. When you can see the bottom there are usualy no fish. Cyrondill's big water is all slaughterfish so don't even try. And you do see as you see the health bar dropping, hear them nibble at you and the char making hurt sounds.0 -

Nope. I posted a thread some days ago about this, the 'fatigue' systemis brutal, you get no warning and unless you react IMMEDIATELY you'll not have enough time to turn back to safe waters.I don't get any sort of warning? no indication that I have been attacked? and what about ON the dock?
Clearly a "you can't go there" system is needed, but also needed is a WARNING and the DoT you get should be hugely reduced to give you time to react, or else the DoT should scale with the distance into the 'no go' area you are.
Sorry, no, it's not always like that. There are areas of 'no go' water around Bleakrock that are visibly no different from the water you just were in.The dark watter usualy is an indication of danger.
WOW uses the colour of the water as the indication, which always seemed to me a good way, Rift has a similar method. Maybe Zenimax intended ESO to be like you say but they didn't implement it universally.
In any case, the DoT is TOO HIGH even if there was a visual cue, you're not supposed to be severely punished unless you're seriously trying to get somewhere you're not supposed to be.
