The Collision Factor

Rubberlad · June 2014

I love this game but sometimes its just so inconsistent, lol.

Why is it that we still don't have player collision (or horse collision for that matter) yet we do have NPC collision? Its just so bizarre to me - like I'm the ESO version of Whoopi Goldberg in "Ghost" or something.

Player collision can be exploited for griefing.

^This. It's all fun and games until a group of hillbillies surround you and try to push you off a cliff.

Just about everything can be exploited for griefing. Like dumping 20 useless siege in a keep so it can't be defended, yet we still have siege in the game. The main reason for no player colision is to reduce server side calculations. And since that's the reason, don't expect to ever see it added to the game.

Age of conan launched unfinished with player collision, and ashhats would block doorways for fun, causing the most crying on a forum you every saw. be thankful the devs of ESO are smart enough to keep it to npc's (although pet collision is unnecessary).
