PC/NA Vivec What the Bleep is This?!!

I have never seen anything like what I saw early this morning in Vivec PS/NA. There was an EP player who was outlined in white, taking zero damage, and you could see them through walls. Unfortunately, they were always in the middle of a huge EP ball group, so I couldn't get up close enough to get a picture of their name (which I would not post here).

Here are the 2 pictures I was able to get. Picture 1 shows that they looked like out in the open with many EP around them (where you can see the white outline against all the other normal players).

In picture 2, it shows how you could see their outline even through the walls of the building.

Has anyone else on PC/NA Vivec ever seen anything like this before?

    did you press tab on them? it lets you target them with an outline that persists even through walls. At cp 1000, I would say I am surprised you didn't know this but I didn't know this until around cp 900.

    Feel free to give insightfuls.

    I thought that was tab. The tab targeting will outline them in white iirc.

    That's just tab target. You must have accidentally pressed tab and its locked on that target and yes you can see the target you lock on thru walls or thru other targets. It's a feature to keep track of your priority target in both pvp and pve. If the tab target hides behind other targets your skills like taunt will go thru other hitboxes to hit the tab target as long as your cursor is within the lightning outline (walls and other LoS objects can still block your skills). It only disappears if the target goes in stealth or some mechanic like boss teleport that make them "unable to target" for a split second.

    One of the basic features. It used to work a bit different - putting a semi frame instead of outline - which worked a lot better because now it really works good only when your target is hidden behind some kind of obstacle (otherwise the outline is barely visible :/), it's basically wall hack :D useful especially vs tree huggers, tower kiters etc.
    I'm done with this game because of ZOS pushing us into Vengeance, because they don't know how to fix Cyrodiil.

    ah ok.. color me :blush:! I have not seen that before... I will have to remember to use that next time I am chasing a tree/rock hugger around Vivec. :wink:
