Siege shouldn’t do damage to players. Instead just apply the status effect.

I have way to many hours on this game 27k to be exact. 99% of it has been in Cyrodiil (Dec. 2024)
Currently have 15 Grand Overlords and like to role play as a stealthy assassin.

    Siege does too much damage to players. Taking castles is impossible. You literally die in seconds. And trying to avoid it is difficult because of lag and the animations not showing up. People would be sieging others instead of actually fighting.

    Siege is getting fixed, hopefully Monday. Any future changes are for the future.

    So speaking of the future and assuming the siege is fixed as ZOS intends, no, damage should not be removed. The unbroken siege is not too damaging (at least in CP PVP) and taking defended keeps has certainly been possible assuming the attackers play well.

    What should we use? Harsh language?

    What...? Do you actually not know how to damage another player without siege?

    This is a great idea.

    I think it could be extended to a lot of other areas of the game too. To start with, I think the damage from Flame Lash should be removed in favor of a Flame Lash status effect.

    Siege is expensive and can be destroyed in seconds. And when you see that red circle, you have 2-3 seconds to move out of the way.

    They were accidentally made double-strength in this update, which I suspect will be remedied soon.

    Already fixed. Though they say they are monitoring it for a future update, we shall see. ;)

    not sure how they wil adjust siege. Cyro is back to the OP zergfest it was in murkmire; zerged front doors, dog-piling on one target, no repercussions for stacking except stacking your own troops.

    It was laggy at 8:30-9am on 2 bar pop. Wait till it's pop locked; you all will be hating yourselves lol.

    It's already been proven that most ESO PVP players hate themselves at least a little bit.
