    Target fixation to get a kill when my resources are low.
    When fighting zerg v zerg & the enemy group all targets me at once.
    Over confidence & pushing too deep into the enemy line.
    Grouped Ult bombs.
    Snared/routed/stunned & un-able to break free despite having enough stamina.
    Lag related issues : can't bar swap to heals, stuck in an attack animation, etc...

    3 seconds of combat that I was unaware of until I was dead. With a 0.001sec cast time between light attacks and skills.
    Player 1 "You all suck, dont you know how to play this game?"
    Player 2 "Huh?"
    Player 1 "just run passed everything!"
    Player 3 "We could just kill them on the way"
    Player 4 "Why am I 89% of total DPS, one of the only ones that Qued as DPS, and yet in a group with 3 other DPS that cant seem to kill the basic mobs in a normal dungeon, and being told I suck?"
    Player 1 "Whatever, GFL"
    Player 1 has left the group...

    How about the nr of our stats? I just started pvp, changed my built ( And will probably continue to do so until I find something suitable) - had all the above-mentioned mistakes - alright, as we go we learn, it's a process - but I got a bit surprised by my magicka nr. It keeps fluctuating for no apparent reason, and not in the best of ways. Example - when I made the built - was in a crafting house (So housing) - so no buffs other than my own food, the nr was around 44k. Later when I joined pvp grounds , nr jumped to 46k ( Imperial City - ) - so I assume there are buffs in there just as there are in Cyrodiil (although I saw none listed - and I didn't do anything really, just logged into base). But later on - same day - also in a quiet moment - solo - (no players to debuff me or other skills - which also normally get listed for us to see) - my magicka went down to 37k, and some 30 minutes later ( also without any reason - was already out of pvp and soloing around) - 38k. Eventually the next day it started at about 40k - then again the original nr from its moment of creation - 44k - and now I am currently in pve , doing nothing ( hence I'm in forums) - with 46k . So what's the deal with that? Why is that nr so inconsistent? Also I have in some 3 days now some stat on me called " Sanies Lupinus (you've been scratched by a werewolf)" - why? Just how long does that blasted scratch lasts? (yes - at least 3 days - in case it looks like a typo, it is not.).

    Everyone tries to be funny these days... As for OP, you describe it as it's a good thing, it very well could be, but I don't think it has a place in RPG genre, now most defensive abilities are not even worth firing up, since now it is who will kill faster, most defensive abilities are now obsolete, they may as well remove them. I prefer a mix of both action and tactics, which we had to some extent before this "awesome" patch, now it's MMOFPS with abilities.

    The Sanies Lupinus sounds like you've been infected .. if that's the case it won't go away until you either do the quests & become a werewolf or get it cured.

    By the context of your post, I gather that nr = total magicka? What does nr stand for?

    I have no idea why it is changing though... it could be so many things... passives that require some sort of proc.. etc...

    Lately in Cyrodiil (Grey Host specifically) desynchs have been a huge problem. Not even the usual offenders like snipe, but literally just all the time.

    Yesterday I had so many instances of being chased by a few people, doing alright running around, keeping my buffs up and all that and then suddenly bam, dead. I look at my recap and see no snipes, no ultimates, no crazy hard hitting abilities, just a bunch of regular stuff.

    This happened so many times I lost count. In the early evening, at 0100 in the morning, didn't matter how many people were on or what was happening. Similar issues with siege, I would be outside a keep and instantly die, wondering who just dunked on me I'd check my recap to see what happened only to see I was leveled by a cold fire...except there was no visual cue (no red circle, no blue bolt, nothin).

    I got no issue getting outplayed or zerged down, it happens all the time and it's just part of the game. You laugh move on and try again. Even cheesy stuff like snipe spamming, yeah it's annoying but it's whatever.Desynchs though are just so incredibly irritating an because they're one of the only things that are actually game breaking.

    I usually have a good idea based on what I am fighting because I have played every class. Everyone once in a while, there is a new set to where I go "What was that" but if its bad, the generic answer is "a bunch of people" is what killed me

    Things that will get folks killed...
    Forgetting what bar your on.
    Assuming that your team is right behind you
    Charging in-between to opposing sides
    Charge into a prepared enemy
    Fighting in the open
    Fighting outnumbered when the enemy are not ***
    Chasing people into towers when you outnumber them
    Not watching your six
    Watching a zerg rev up and staying in their lane of advance.
    Not blocking on the flag
    Looking at menu while capturing resources

    Stop watching my screen...LOL

    Becoming visible while I'm clicking on a quest objective is usually what kills me. In the few seconds I'm bent over doing whatever it is that happens after I hit E, someone comes up behind me and mows me down.

    Usually bad luck or tunnel vision.

    Bad luck: e.g. yesterday I fought 1 EP and suddenly whole DC train ran around the corner straight over me... I tried to escape but after ~15s they still got me. Second time was very similar, usually I can escape but when it's zerg made of experienced players built to catch anyone trying to escape and coordinating their position via voice chat it's pretty impossible to escape.

    2 days ago e.g. while retreating I ported back to shade... Just find that it's surrounded by 30 EPs :D S*** Happens!

    The other reason why I die is tunnel vision, when I focus to much on one target, it can end badly.
    I'm done with this game because of ZOS pushing us into Vengeance, because they don't know how to fix Cyrodiil.

    Other Players.

    That's how I die.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    Constant 400+ ping whenever I enter a pvp area. My ping is never that high constantly outside of them, so something happens when I enter Cyrodiil/IC/BGs.

    1. Lag.
    2. Loading Screen.
    3. Skill / ability not working.
    4. Potion not working (despite spamming potion button).

    Pick whatever you want I guess...

    The problem with that response is that it suggests that in a perfect environment, you would never die. Those same things are happening to the other guy that killed you as well. Dont get me wrong, the game is a mess, but there are other factors causing you to die as well (and by you, I mean anyone playing in PVP). Like anything else, lag can be adapted to to some degree.

    Here's the thing though. You will get people here in the forum who swear up and down that they have little or no lag, so assuming these people are not lying through thwir teeth saying that, "This happens to the other guy too," is um, not true. It might be happening to the other guy too, or not if there really are players out there with litte or no lag.

    Hope is pertinent.
    Many times my death recap lists a bunch of skills that hit me but on my monitor I don't see any effect that shows those incoming attack and I just find myself dead.

    Can it be lag? If so has anyone experience with gaming vpn?
