Mud slinging

Nave_Horsespitoon
Whoever came up with the mud slinging emote, or whatever it is, is a total piece of garbage. It is really stupid, and even worse that [snip]
You absolutely should not be able to affect other players in any way unless you have both agreed to it! Fricken rediculous!
Remove this insult to an otherwise relatively mature game.

    It annoys me too, but all they are doing is making you do an animation.

    Does it actually interrupt you from any actions? (legitimate question, no snark)

    The Mudball is the best thing ZOS have done, it might be the only thing ZOS ever did that actually worked as intended, initially it worked too well but they promptly got it under control.

    You should totally disassociate yourself from your character. Nobody is slinging mud at you. Exercise more self control. Just throw your own mudball back (you can buy a pack of them if you don't have this memento, I think). Be simpler. This is a funny thing, which sometimes is not welcome, but in general completely harmless.

    I certainly think insulting someone is much worse offense than throwing an in-game mudball. If you don't want anyone affect you in any way, go play single player games. MMOs are about interaction

    Like any PvP attack, you just have to learn the counter - cherry blossoms in this case.

    Seriously though, I find it immature and annoying as well . . . though not as passionate about it as OP. Just a mild irritant like getting hit with any one of numerous buffs while trying to dye an outfit. . . .

    Why not? Yea, it's childish, but from time to time I find it entertaining to do that to some fabulous or "hardcore" looking person, who jumps around spamming skills while waiting for a dungeon.

    It's funny to watch how they stop immediately and start looking/running around trying to figure out who did that. :innocent:

    Right? LOL. Never let anyone know what buttons to push that irritate you. Those buttons will surely be pushed after that.

    I use the mudball emote whenever someone rushes in and swipes a node when I'm fighting the mobs that guard it.

    That player still gets the node, but it gets my point across. I'm another player and I think you are a jerk.

    Unless you are roleplaying and they are intentionally griefing you, there is nothing to report. Probably just someone bored. It's the ESO equivalent of a spitwad.

    There's this fat female orc in Wayrest. She always just stands there by the guild traders. She's as fat as you can make a character, bald and dressed in pink. Created probably by some weirdo and looking for attention. I've never seen her doing anything else, never even moves. She used to stand in Belkarth before for hours almost every day. She has been doing that for at least a year. Everytime I see her now my lizard throws mud at her lol. I haven't used mud for anyone else.

    You can get “Runebox:Mudball Pouch” from guild traders for cheap if you want to retaliate. It’s a memento and you put it on a quick slot.

    If someone is spamming, chasing, harassing you with it, especially at a dye station that is a bannable offense. Report them.


    Otherwise, GIRD UP THY LOINS, and put pebbles in them for that extra dps!!

    It's not that bad, I think my only annoyance with it is if I'm trying to play an instrument and I finally got the song I wanted to play and BAM - mudball.

    However it is also great to throw it at someone spamming skills in towns or throwing it back at someone who threw it at you, like a little mud war

    Someone who refers to themselves as a horse spittoon has a problem with people throwing mudballs?

    It is a memento and is fun with your friends and guildies but the bird is so much better, it even causes their characters to make this face that is just priceless. That one is called 'the murderous strike memento'. A crow caws while flying towards the selected person and explodes upon impact in a flurry of blood and feathers. :o

    It is pretty fun, and a great way to help guards catch criminal players trying to escape them. Do your civic duty and pelt a failed thief today!

    But even then, mystery meat is a far better emote. Remember the Bergama Races? Those contestants looked hungry running that grueling race, so be kind and keep them well fed...
