PvP in ESO, what killed you?

    Here’s my short list of deaths I’ve been experiencing lately:

    1. Lag plus the added Dsync

    2. Load screens

    3. Well timed colossus and grave robber synergy with a nova on top (harmony trait)

    The first two points can really burst my bubble sometimes, but I don’t mind it when an opposing group gets a nice combo off of me (sucks when the combo gets buffed to oblivion because of harmony).

    Top game breaking reasons for dying (not your fault):

    - Being stuck on the offensive bar (for unknown reasons), hence not being able to heal.
    - The Psijiic (revert time) ultimate -> Being stuck and unable to interact with your char (moving back and forth)
    - Skills not firing when facing a ball group with synchronised skills/procs.
    - Main killer (siege) -> Too overpowered and sometimes AOE zones don't appear when there is too much going on.

    Now that damage is up. I think it's time to RIP the harmony jewellery traits -> It has to go both ways (heals down/group damage should go down too).

    everything kills me, a blade of grass or tripping over a stone

    But in reality, they're just better players than I, I always read the re-cap to see what the player was using and try applying with what I can. Its tough sometime because I feel if the lag was better, I'd have an easier time with it... but when you're mashing the heal button or trying to make that cast but your character just stands there like he's waiting for takeout while your health meter drops like a meteor on your head....yeah...my life (ha)

    PVP bores me and I only play it to try and get the skill points from the ranks... therefore I don't know or care for how to play in PVP and my build is crap.

    So... EVERYTHING kills me.

    I get killed by those fantastic lags, loadingscreens and stun stun stun ... I hate those multiple stuns and I never understand, why one stun isn't enough and I don't get immunized against the next stun for 5 sec like every NPC in ESO can do. In combination with this marvelous zerglings or ballgroup it sucks a lot ... but this must part of the unique Cheating-Funding Program of ZOS.

    Bad performance is the number one culprit, and probably a fair amount of actual glitches and such.

    But, for a big part - it's about situational awareness, if you die an awful lot, chances are that you don't watch and evaluate the battle enough. You'll have to predict what unfolds, and in time you will know what "classes" to be careful about on your own build, and you will also learn and remember what specific people will woop your you know what almost every single time.

    Often - if you want to survive - you will have to let someone get away, or their friends will get you. You will need to pull back, regroup, leave and find another fight or whatever. Not every fight can be won. Sincerely.

    Mobbed by group of reds while fishing. Obviously they were very hungry and needed the fish more than I. :D

    Oh, and I forgot this one: Killed by transitus mages when keep changed hands while I was stuck in super long loadscreen. That was pretty funny.

    Noone mentioned something I'll call "temporary skill bugs" ;)
    Mostly caused by being hit by enemy mage NPC guarding flag, gate or keep tower.
    Example from y-day. Played low-lvl magplar. Been trying to defend Aleswell farm against magsorc. He killed me, so I respawned at keep and, seeing another player running to this farm, followed him to try my luck again ;)
    What happened? EXACTLY at time we were approaching and I was clicking (unmorphed) Eclipse to put it on that sorc, I got hit from NPC, my char turned into animation of Puncturing Strikes and stucked in it. I was unable to do anything (block/breakfree/bar swap/potion use/cast another skill), only run forward with this lance until I stopped at tower wall. Of course got second death ;)

    OK here it is listen and then fix something someday :).

    PVP on NA PC Grey Host.

    You have 2 factions using the poor proformance issue's to their advantage, smart ? maybe.

    Lately i have seen groups run around keeps, being hit by siege CF now in most cases.

    Guess what that group basicly takes zero dmg. IMO siege should destroy any build or builds, but no.

    I had an all time personal damage record to me in 1 shot, CF hit me for 42k dmg, and because of lag never saw or heard it hit.

    Just 1 second alive next dead. My pvp gear is very good. So I should have mitagated some of the damage.

    What seems to being the most used attackes by the ball groups is lots of graveyards, with fat men thrown in on top of those.

    Because of the de-synding and lag you rarely will see any animations until you are dead.

    Trust me there is alot of exploiting going on atm and hope those folks get caught :).

    Very often I die to the cc immunity not working and/or break free not working. Get taloned, press RaT, still taloned, try to break free with 10k stam, still taloned, drink an immovability pot, dragon leaped, dead. Either that or 4 dizzy swings from 10 meters back that somehow all hit me while I am sprinting away with major expedition.

    Basically, performance.

    I mostly die because I'm unfamiliar with a lot of the other classes and I don't fully understand their skills and combos. It's my long term goal to try to build a PvP character from each of the different classes, in order to better understand how they click. Gonna take a while though xD.

    Lag, load screens and abilities not working have a huge impact in PvP.
