    Or they could come up with an intelligent practical budget friendly travel option.

    There is a place down between AD/EP where you can die to slaughterfish standing 100% on dirt.

    Honestly, though slaughterfish are an old elder scrolls troll thing. They suck... because they are supposed to suck.

    The slaughterfish are empowered by nerf threads and probably someone at ZoS thinks it is funny.

    It did help with a certain lizard named Likes-To-Swim-With-Scrolls >_>

    I wasn't in the water. I was picking a Nirnroot plant, and my left pinky toe was touching a pebble that had gathering dew from the mists that came from the water, then my head just exploded from 50,000 damage.

    It's dumb. Very dumb.

    I know it's just a video game with pixels and dragons and fireballs shooting out of elven wizards' bumholes, but for god's sake can we not at least have some sort of minimal consistency with physics and reality.

    People don't spontaneously die because their left foot touched water.

    It was my right foot that got it last night as I was fishing. Stopped, cast my line and like you before I could put my glass down I was being asked where I wanted to resurrect. I see no reason it shouldn't be like other areas and at least let you wade along the edge.

    Happened to me once in real life while vacationing in the Amazon, damn Pirana's, after that the natives always called me Mr. Nine Toes.

    So my elf spent a fair amount of time getting to a skyshard this morning. Turns out it is on a boat tied to a dock. Her hop to the boat was just a little bit off. . . you know where this is going. ;)

    Yeah this is just a rage post, nothing will come of it idc I need to vent.

    I was just casually exploring around Cyrodiil doing basically nothing, just killing time exploring.

    So my character sees some Nirnroot by the lake. I go and grab it, and IRL I reach over and grab my hot tea.

    As my character picks the Nirnroot, he starts losing HP fast and before I can even finish my sip of tea and say "WTF?" I am dead, because my effing LEFT FOOT was in the water and I got ate by slaughterfish.

    I mean I know we aren't allowed to go into the lake, but really? This is just absolute mind-boggling levels of stupid.

    Please change this so that it isn't utterly moronic bullcrap.

    /end rant

    Once i got eaten by slaughterfish in water shallow enough to ride in it. :s

    Now you know why they called slaughterfish. They are not to be trifled with. You mess with water you get slaughter.

    Ahh this happened to me as well when I was doing a side quest to gather ten of this item that grows around the Lake shore. There's a spot where all water right up to shore is a Slaughterfish area and when I went up to gather I stepped in a puddle and died during the gather animation. ZOS really went all out to make sure no one can cheese their way onto the Imperial island.

    ESO PvP is so bad and feels fake because of stuff like this. I want all of Cyrodil to be pve and remade. Currently my response time of buttons is about 5 seconds lol. I don't even see how people managed to play such bad stuff since launch if I can't stand it for 2 seconds.

    Slaughterfish in Cyrodil just have different alliance war skill passives.

    Reach rank 2: Increases the range of long-range abilities by 5 meters while someone is near the water.

    Combat Frenzy: Grants an additional 20 harvest nodes you may place near the water edge.

    Lmao, first experience in cyro, I run into a bunch of meanies while solo-exploring, and jump in a lake or something to get away from them... That didn't go too well, they must have laughed their sittingdevices off!

    Ah yes.

    The slaughterfish in Cyrodiil are not to be trifled with.

    Especially after ZOS buffed them to prevent scroll trolls from swimming half-way into the lake with a scroll so nobody could pick it up.

    That is why we can't have nice friendly slaughterfish.

    Ever throw Volendrung in the water...? It's a bit funny then.

    On that note, if you have successfully killed the player and accompanying zerg holding the hammer to retrieve it, you've earned the right to throw it in the lake.

    I would think if someone were to run and jump they could still get far enough out that other players would not be able to retrieve the scroll so it really doesn't fix the problem.

    watched a video where one guy was being chased by about 10 reds. He jumped down on rocks next to some water and kept jumping around, trying to prevent them from targeting him. When they leaped after him, they didn't pay that much attention to the rocks, and kept falling off into the water and dying. Every time he tried to escape more, would come, so he hopped back to his ledge, they came after him and fell in the water and died.

    It was hilarious

    Seems like some NPC ( first time sent to IC maybe ? ) gave my character a warning about the slaughterfish in the area.

    Some players learned how to consistently jump the gap across the river under Alessia bridge before it was widened, and would use the slaughterfish to help kill the less-experienced players that would try to follow them and fall in the water. It was pretty funny and sad at the same time.
