Cap on speed

Abyssmol · January 2020

ZOS wtf there are characters in the game that run faster than a mount. You have to put a cap on speed, give every class major expedition, or fix the gap closers. GAP closer skills in this game don't work for s**t against speeders.

There is a cap on speed? I forgot what it is.

100% more than your normal jog speed, but building for speed is very painful now adays, almost all of your options have been reduced to 4sec buffs so after a cast you have 3sec of sprinting. There is a good chance it is more likely the server lag you are experiencing, where the server moves you and hits them, but by the time the server catches up in damage calculations the player and you have moved too far from the original location which breaks the range barrier.

no need to nerf speed anymore, just fix the servers pls

Imagine complaining about this in 2020. Cap is 200%. Regular movement is 100%, sprinting is +40% , 7 medium is + 21% sprinting, orc is +10% sprinting, and finally major expedition is +30%.

Even before you use major expedition, you're sitting at 171% movement speed when sprinting.

Gap closers are amazing in this game, especially after the changes in u25.

What's this thread really about? Did someone escape you in PvP

oh no!

I guess you didn't read the part that gap closers do not work against speedster. When these speedster are running away from you the gap closer does not register any damage or stun. The gap closer doesn't work, period. If ZOS can't fix these, they should increase the speed of the gap closer or reduce the max speed of a player. When have you seen in any game that a player can run faster than a house?

A max speed player cannot outrun a max speed horse.

This has nothing to do with speed, it is server lag and de-syncs... i.e. players are not in the place where you see them. You may only learn to predict where they are

Slow horse vs speedster, ok... But that's apple to oranges. Apples to apples would be full speed horse and player. Good luck getting a fully buffed capped speed player to run faster than a fully buffed horse...

I'll say what this post is... It's a combo of l2p (or lack thereof) and "what kills me needs a nerf" morfed into the stamina version "what I can't kill needs a nerf".

If you think I'm wrong, we can go race on the pts where full gear is free and easy, I'll buff my horse up, you can get your toon buffed up and if you catch me with a 10ft headstart for me, I'll give you 50k on live server(PC NA or EU).

Spoiler alert, I'm not losing 50k...

Learn some trigonometry and apply it to your running target. Can't say anymore.

I see OP did not read my post

There is a cap on speed and most gapclosers hard counter speed.

I play a stamsorc with orc and major expedition. I run at pretty much the speed cap yet one templar spamming gap close basically makes me unable to move.

Taleof2Cities · January 2020

Most PvP players that build for speed sacrifice some sort of damage to run it, @Abyssmol.

At any rate, gap closers aren’t the only way to stop those players ... snares and roots also work.

You got me there, I've never seen any game where a player can run faster than a house.

This. Gap closers are a hard counter to my stamsorc, even when running at full pelt. Good thing barely anybody slots them in BG's. When a stamplar is running toppling, there is a good chance I will not escape.
