I get how skills can stack on a burst when timing a combo with a delayed effect like elemental weapon, but how in the world (with no lag) can this happen in 1 sec?
..and this?
...and many other similar situations?
I mean there are at least 4 separate abilities plus procs and light attacks all hitting in 1 sec. We are not talking about stealth either, I engage, and my opponent just swings and I am dead in 1 sec and this is what I see in my combat metrics and death recap.
And the same players take little to know damage when you attack them (if you somehow survive their 1 sec burst).
It seems to only happen with specific players too. So I turn on my video before engaging so I can make a video and send combat metrics report to ZOS, but nothing happens. Once, I even engaged and immediately held block on a specific opponent and died instantly.
Is this game so broken or is the unwritten learning curve so steep that this game is out of reach except for those who can keep up with the latest exploits or use addons like rdk and miats to be competitive? People say you have to "get gud" but I fight people that are impossible to damage and they are doing nothing but swinging wildly away and not even playing defense. What the heck are they doing to avoid damage? I am not talking about reduced damaged or line of sight defense, all I get sometimes is "miss" "miss" "miss" and they are not even blocking or dodging, just attacking. What are they doing that makes them "gud" that we are not?
I've never seen a video game that was so easily manipulated by so few to cause a disadvantage for so many with the developer turning a blind eye. No wonder the population has shrunk so much.
Grayhost at peak hours on Thursday was only 2 bars. Other campaigns were worse.
Dead game!!!
But it could be fixed with some effort. ZOS - do you even care?
