    It's not the end of the world if siege damage is now too much- use if to your advantage and consider it a feature rather than a bug, or a temporary change to play with until it is amended in a future patch.

    If you got hit with three oils at the same time you deserved to get wrecked and I think this exactly situation is proof this increased siege damage is a good thing to punish stupid positioning

    I played last night. True siege is a little overpowered right now but it isn't completely game breaking. I noticed how game play strategy changed because of the issue. You could still play, you just had to change things a little. If you can't wait until Monday then perhaps a game like this isn't for you. Everyone gets the same overpowered siege. It isn't like one side has an advantage over another when it comes to siege.

    So you stood in the AoE (multiple from what you say) and are upset you died

    Funny :)


    Maybe you don’t stand in the red with a bright indicator and try avoiding a slow moving projectile. Maybe you acknowledge siege as the threat it should have always been

    All that needs to happen is resistances and shields being applied to the incoming damage. The rest needs to stay the same because all Cyro look like is zergs spamming doors and ignoring all siege, all players, all CC, and all damage. Time to use an actual strategy

    I dont like the siege buff but i will try to enjoy until it gets fixed, because i have enough problems in RL. So i bought some coldfire balistas for the lols. :P

    Also i would like to suggest you not to post pvp balance issues in general discussion subforum as it's rather more toxic than alliance war subforum and is full of pve'rs who usually Xv1 you or spam siege on you.

    I agree with you. Now that I have played a couple of days in Sotha Sil, I have noticed adaptation to the issue. Before this bug, sieging was: sit on a ram with some healers and others shoot ballistas and trebuchets at the door while dodging counter-siege.

    Now: everybody lays ballistas and trebuchets plus some coldfire sieges to counter the sieges on the wall. When going trough a breach, you now must time yourself. Watch how many sieges fire at the breach and after you are confident there is a tiny pause, you use the opportunity to run and dodgeroll trough the breach (and then head to distract the defending siegers to create a window for your other allies to get trough).

    I can also see how this siege bug eliminates the possibilities to take keeps with smaller group of players. And because siege is not dependant on your build, it eats the uniqueness of builds.

    The devs actually consider to let this malfunction slip through as feature.

    The decisions made, causing all the issues and imbalance, are purely based on social instead of factual reasons. Simply analize the „professionalism“ they display in their live streams and you‘ve got your answers at hand, why nothing will ever change to the better in eso anymore.

    I am not an excellent PVP player but I like this bug, it creates more risk and makes me die but it gives more action than normal. a little madness in Cyrodiil makes me feel good ^^.

    it would be nice to create a hard core campaign where weapons do not leave any chance with this bug for those who likes.

    Standing in red should hurt a LOT, so as far as i'm concerned, this is a welcome feature ...

    Right? People are calling us trash players for liking the strength of siege when a lot of us who like it aren't actually sieging. It's the fact that we have another element that's tougher to combat and actually makes taking a keep tricky. Yet we need to L2P because, you know... We like actually playing the game.

    How are you even playing Wrathstone on Ps4? It is not fine, it is a bug that zerglings are using by just staying in keeps, left clicking away with zero skill.

    Zos does need to figure out what happened and find a fix before they can implement it.

    Remember that even with all the messages we gave them the GF was still broken during the past 18 months Zos still had the gall to tell us they thought they had fixed it because that was less embarrassing than them admitting they had not been able to figure out how to fix it.

    Granted, I think it is more of an issue that management does not set priorities very well. We still have the same management that launched the game when it played like it was early beta.

    I dont think you ever tried to defend a keep from ballgroup? Your ballistas wont do anything to them, you were forced to use meatbags (dont get me wrong, coldfire is awesome, but against ballgroups its useless)
    Right now sieges are good counter to zergs.

    Are you seriously pretending to use ballistas, anti siege weapons, to kill people? Man, THAT is a l2p ahahaha. Omg dude, for real?

    I've been playing MMO's since 2004 I know how much they make, it just doesn't bother me to not be able to have something now. I am sure it will get fixed some day and if they don't and say they like it the way it is I can live with that also.

    I can be wrong, because last days I wasn't at prime, only at late evening and night. And I understand all, but just just must say it. I saw how almost every dc player tried to place siege in fight 1vs 1 or 1 vs x, and used it for cooldown. High pvp ranks guys. Grand overlords especially. It was not near the keep, just in OPEN FIELD. So again I wasn't at prime and can't say about ad anything but you dc guys always are in the first place yes? Switch to ad to take and hold scroll untill reset, 5+ ball groups, faction stacking, jump exploits and macros, gg. SO enjoy.

    We seem to go back and forth on powerful siege. When I started playing last May siege was pretty weak. They bumped it up some around summer time and I believe we started getting complaints about it being too powerful. I guess if you've gone awhile being able to faceroll siege damage then all of a sudden start dying in situations you used to just heal through, it could be considered OP. It was nerfed around Murkmire I believe and now it's been bumped up again. I believe siege should be powerful enough that standing in stupid gets you killed more often than not, but maybe not so powerful that you may not have time to get out of said stupid.

    Honestly, the best part of that video was the siege use. Chasing players chase you around a corner and BLAMM!!, cold fire to the face, lol.

    They will tone it down on Monday, maybe stronger than before but most certainly less than now. Until then everyone should just enjoy the lulz and siege each other to death.

    Sure siege is just fine....while defense sprays areas with cold fire and if you are anywhere near the splash 28.8k instant damage. Same with oils 28.8k damage cannot use rams on doors effectively just ballista away from a safe distance...yup just fine! *snickers*
