So I killed a quester... I think

Cirantille · January 2020

I know you'll find it funny but I am kinda upset and I feel like a horrible person. Prolly ruined his night by this

So both alliances were tryna cap towns, castles to approach the scroll we are holding. While pushing back, we killed them in Cropsford. But 2 of them hid in the house. So I told my guildies and we got in and killed them.

But halfway through I realised he was a "Tyro" and tried to "whirling blades" all the way

And he was taking a quest

Then I thought of whispering him or her and sending something but I thought it would be awkward

Anyway off my chest topic, he was such a cute Khajiit, and Khajiit make sad sounds when they die

I don't know how people camp these poor fellows, like they are so harmless and dying so easily

And it feels... kinda bad to kill people who can't put up a fight

Or maybe he was a really bad pvp players, Idk those are not uncommon too, sigh

Yes, there are a lot of lesser skilled PvP players even when there is not an event on. If it was a player just doing a quest they should realize it is best to stay away from an area where there is combat until it settles. Maybe they learned as much.

ArchMikem · January 2020

So the player spammed whirling blades from the start of it or was there any kind of burst they tried? Either way yeah, you know there's an Event going on and it sounds like you just had a bit of bloodlust on your mind cause you didn't hesitate going after them. I've always let people go if I run into them around PvE areas and I see they had no intention of fighting me.

If it helps at all I'm one of the people who goes into Cyrodiil to do quests (on a khajiit at that) and other PvE activities and when I die I just find it mildly annoying, and then only because I have to run all the way back. (Especially when I could see the skyshard I was going for and your elder scroll has already been stolen so there's nothing in there for you to protect by killing me.)

What's more irritating is when they dance or use emotes over my corpse as if killing someone who didn't react to your presence in any way at all is somehow impressive. Seriously, even an NPC wolf would be more of a challenge. I only rarely PvP in this game but even I know acting like it's a big victory is more embarrassing for them than for me.

I've had people in a group come and bag me, even though they didn't even land a hit, I was downed by others and they were just nearby to see. Just the fact that you couldn't defend yourself is reason enough to dance on your corpse, but I promise you most of the time if these people were to lose they'd res somewhere immediately so you couldn't do anything to them. They love to give but can't bear to take.

Yeah most often I just move along when I meet people especially in delves, they try to hide and *wink wink* I dont see it of course

I honestly dont understand what is fun in ruining some other players fun, that is why this instance upsetted me a bit

I think PvErs really should avoid campaign dedicated servers of Cyrodiil because they seem to end up between cross fire sigh

If it is a consolation I have been t bagged by PvErs

14 of them took me down and tbagged me, I though that they were trying how it feels and lolled a bit

Also to your previous message no I wasnt bloodlusted or anything, I thought they were capping the town to res so they can keep attacking the scroll sigh

Vietfox · January 2020

Screw them, we all learnt by dying.
On the other hand i've been having so much fun. I used to play on pc but had to switch to ps4 because my laptop died. Most of the veterans assumed i was a noob (700cp on ps4 right now) and that's what made it easy for me to kill them 😂😂

JamieAubrey · January 2020

KILL ALL SPARE NONE

NBrookus · January 2020

I wouldn't feel too bad, a lot of those PVE'ers go full bloodthirsty in Cyro attacking even when you try to leave them alone. That's not a bad instinct in a PVP zone, but it's not like you automatically know they are just getting boxes. If they try to hide I usually just pretend I didn't see them while keeping my head on a swivel.

MehrunesFlagon · January 2020

I haven't seen any quester conflict .I've been walking right past AD like I'm not even there .I Guess it depends on the campaign though.

IndianaJames7 · January 2020

Cyrodiil is for pvp, I usually try not to kill people who are clearly questing but if they die meh, it’s a PvP zone

JumpmanLane · January 2020

I unno, a few days ago I was camping this burnt out house with a skyshard in it. Killed a couple, ran off like 3 more. I didn’t feel bad about it at all.

As for the event, I did all the crops events and didn’t see anybody messing with questers. I wanted to kill the guy who kept getting the produce sacks before I could. Lol. But he was my faction.

ProfessorKittyhawk · January 2020

As a non-pvper, I expect to get ganked at any moment when I'm there during MM trying to do a quest to get my box and tickets. I walked into the wrong part of town today and got shanked by some AD players. Comes with the territory.

But I am so proud

I mean look at all these dungeon players stabbing the enemies fiercely, they learn quick

Ratzkifal · January 2020

People who do this just don't care. Either they are sadists and enjoy ruining the fun for others or they simply want the easy AP.

oddbasket · January 2020

Pve players should group up if you are just going to a town for a quick daily. Town gankers are usually a small group or individuals, and leave you alone if several of you come together.

TheImperfect · January 2020

I pvp'ed for the first time in ages yesterday. I saw a sorceror and pretty much considered myself already dead before starting. I accidentally lotus jumped to the sorcerors pet and attacked that first and then realised and attacked the sorceror and surprisingly won. I think the sorceror was being kind honestly because I really screwed it up.
I then managed to claim a farm and was feeling pretty smug.
Got my ass handed to me several times afterwards.
Had a go with siege weapons which I forgot how to use.
Loving it so far. Did Sheogorath's quest to use Malacath's hammer and thought that the hammer is the most fun thing ever. I tried not to give it back but old Sheo doesn't let you.

DragonRacer · January 2020

As a PvEer, I avoid all town quests because of the reputation of behind-door bombers. I go for the scouting missions instead, especially since I have a max-stamina mount and rapids. That, of course, isn’t 100% safe... nothing in PvP is... but I did sure appreciate the Blue who blew past my Yellow. I was mere feet away from my scouting point and mounted, so I know he couldn’t have missed seeing me so far in enemy territory. But I instantly dismounted and hid, and he rode on by. Thank you. Did my report, got my event tickets, and you won’t see my happy Khajiiti tuckus for 24 hours.

Any PvEer trying to do town quests right now is sadly naive. I finished Cyrodiil Skyshards (finally) BEFORE this event in lowest pop campaign. Won’t touch the town quests I picked up until MM is over.

Weird flex from zerger but ok

Welcome back ^^

I love when players take things this light heartedly and enjoy it

I read from many people in zone and guilds that they actually enjoyed PvP, I am happy

Morieln · January 2020

I went for a scouting quest to get event tix, managed to complete the scouting part, and was on my way back when a battle snuck up on me while I was crouched by a tree. Someone killed me after a while (I had no interest in fighting, so I was still just crouching there) ...and, yay, death saved me having to sneak all the way back to turn in the quest. ; ) Tix achieved...

I mean, if they go at you guns blazing of course theyre fair game. I just always extend an "Olive Block" first.

It is a good tactic if you want to respawn, I usually choose slaughterfish but enemies will do too

Sadly there are a large group of the pvp community who look forward to these events and will specifically go in with the mindset of griefing "Care Bears".

xXMeowMeowXx · January 2020

I usually do my best not to bother someone questing in PvP but the event does make it more complicated. Things are moving faster and the fighting spills over.

Especially, when you play small scale against these unorganized giant zergs.

Also, I don’t believe they’re so innocent.

I was traveling through one of the so called quest areas alone on my stamdk and of bunch players attacked me all together. I killed them all really fast. I am somewhat decent at PvP after three years, but those odds have me thinking the pitchfork holders have bloodlust in their veins....>_>

Zulera301 · January 2020

the anniversary jubilee is where all the stops get pulled out and everyone goes full bloodlust and that's where you're gonna find the worst griefers. This event ain't as bad so far; there's been some pretty decent camaraderie in the PvE areas of Cyrodiil in both the campaigns I ran on.

amapola76 · January 2020

My favorite thing ever happened tonight. I was in Bruma, doing the quest where you close the portals in the manor. I was playing on a DC alt, and the town was (probably still is) controlled by EP, so I knew I was playing with fire. Didn't really care, as I'd already snuck through and turned in one quest for my tickets, so I figured it was a win-win... either I'd get another quest knocked off, or I'd get a quick trip home.

So just as I had clicked on the portal to open it, some EP player showed up and took me down, but the Dremora had already appeared... however, my EP pal didn't see it, because he was turned in the wrong direction, and of course, busy lewdly gesticulating over my corpse... so because he wasn't paying attention, he got taken out by the Dremora. (Possibly killed, but at the very least definitely knocked flat on his @ss.) I laughed so hard...

*ETA: I'm not sure that should even have been possible, so maybe I saw it wrong, but he definitely got taken out from behind by something else? Maybe another DC player? But it was definitely because he was acting like a fool and not paying attention.

I don't see there's any skill required except for gear and mashing two buttons simultaneously
Bad players would be either pve or high latency ones there isn't any type of skill involved in this game
