Why Doesn't She Fight Back

  • ZOS_Hadeostry
    Greetings,

    After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic, as it's asking the communities thoughts about another player's behavior.

    Thank you for your understanding

    Imo if someone is fighting a boss and you run up heavy attacking it you are 100% in the wrong and know exactly what youre doing. If you had the boss first thats another story but anyone thats been down there for more than 15 minutes knows something isnt quite right and to steal bosses from people by killing them with an exploit is basically bullying people around and hogging the bosses

    Unfortunately, if you enter Imperial City with the expectation of honor, or priority being awarded to the person who pulled the boss, or whoever has been fighting it the longest.... you are just setting yourself up for disappointment. ZOS specifically designed this zone to be a free for all, and to imply that one person's strategy is more valid than another's would be questionable, at best.

    Not only that, but they give plenty of motivation for others to rain on your parade when you least expect it. Tel var, AP, Kill 40 players quests, monster helms, style pages, achievements.... all that gives players a reason to hinder your progress. Granted, you will see acts of kindness and honor there on a daily basis, but they should not be expected or demanded.

    Yesterday, I was flipping a flag, and noticed an enemy player down in the trench, fishing. As soon as I got the AP for the flip, I mounted up, rode towards him as fast as I could, jumped off in front of him.... and pulled out my pole and started fishing. I reeled in a couple of catches, then waved, mounted up, and rode off. And I often run up to an enemy doing the dailies, and burn the ballistae or light the altar with them. They might kill me later, or I them, but it's nice to have some friendly moments once in a while.

    Speaking of forums where posts go to die... :tired_face:

    Also, how on earth is this a thread about "players helping players"?!?
    I mean, even a cursory glance at what the thread is really about, would've revealed that OP isn't actually asking about that player's behaviour...

    Unless PvP now counts as "helping other players (to die)".

    Bro i dont expext anything but that doesnt make the truth not true anymore. I dont even go to IC to kill bosses I go to pvp. Everytime im down there ill see underhanded stuff by these dudes like hiding in sneak until the boss is low on health then running in and lightning heavy attacking the boss to kill everyone and steal it. You cant say these people dont know about it. They will run up and purposely attack npcs and to try and get them close to you. And once they start on somethinfg unless youre a ranged build it completely locks you out of the fight. Needs to be fixed and the people doing it need to be called what they are not defended like theyre innocent and dont know any better

    The tri-focus bug exploit -- the devs are probably working on a fix and sometimes it can take a few months. This game has millions lines of code, so its ok if it takes some time for them to work on it. They also have other stuff that's more important to worry about and to work on. They are very busy and hard working people with a lot of task to do. I respect both the devs and the forum moderators for doing their jobs.

    Devs are not suppose to respond to all bug reports and instead they view them and take notes. Then they send in the bug reports to appropriate team. They will only respond to a bug report only if it is absolutely needed. This is what devs do for all online games once a bug report via forums, in-game, or customer service is filed.

    When your post gets moved or doesn't get the immediate reacts/comments. This does not mean your post are going to "die" and stop being so dramatic.
