Few issues, emoting, soul gems and chat

Post » Wed Mar 19, 2014 3:57 pm

I came across many things in beta that i thought could use improving, emoting, how resurrection works and not being able to type when dead where a couple of my biggest issues.

Why could i not emote specifically at a player ? i mean this is common practice for any mmo to be able to use a emote at a player, whether the es fans like it or not this is an mmo not a single player es game and not being able to /wave at a player i reconise or even taunt/laugh at an enemie in cyrodiil is a big let down.

Soul gems, the biggest problem i found when wanting to be resurrected is players dont want to waste their time and soul gems on a player or they didnt have any, how to change this for the better ? well u allow any friendly player to rez someone as long as the dead player has the soul gem, this way it would be beneficial to actually rez someone, the player who rez will get alliance points a felling on satisfaction knowing they helped a player without the downside of losing a soul gem as it is now where as the dead player will be the one who is penalised for dying with the loss of a soul gem.

Thoughts ppl ?

Chat, Cant type in /zone when dead...not sure if u can type in party or send a tell while dead but not being able to type and ask for a rez in /zone after u have taken a keep really svcks. many times i was dead at a keep siege and had no way of communicating with my alliance. the only reason i can think off why u cant is when u are dead u can give away the location of the enemie but u can do that after u respawn so i see no reason to not allow u to type when dead.

The whole point of making you use Soul Gems to revive others is so there's an actual cost to it. And to be honest? Soul Gems don't cost that much and drop like candy from mobs, I don't see it as being a problem.

Not being able to chat while dead is to prevent people from corpse-scouting and call out enemy positions for ten minutes. Sure you can revive and do it but that only works once, as opposed to being a constant ghost-spy the enemy cannot get rid of.

I wholeheartedly agree. For me it's way easier to thank, or applaud, or cheer to someone with a key than whisper in the chat. Maybe they don't even read the chat. Targetable emotes and chat bubbles would enhance my enjoyment greatly.

Soul gems may not cost that much but you are missing the point, why rez someone when u are going to be losing out ? the cost should be to the dead player.

Corpse scouting is not a problem, it happens by players using voice chat. most players who jump into cyrodiil and join random wb's or solo do not use voice chat and could benefit from typing while dead.

If the dead player has a soul gem he can revive himself anyway.

Why prevent it ? its a factor in warfare to taunt your enemies and cause them to act rash. its more of why i cant emote friendly player.

Much less punishing to who ? right now u punish the guy trying to be nice and rez where as the dead guy has no penalty.

Voice chat allows players to, all u do is tell your friend in vent and they type in chat.

I agree with you, only reason I didn't rez a person was because I didn't have a full soul gem. I think may be your idea is a viable option. I do think the rez system is great anyway...Most other games, specially in the past you had to wait for a healer to run by.

Have to agree, it's much more logical that the person who gets the rez will have to pay a soul gem. Maybe with the ability to refuse the rez if you want to spawn at a keep instead.

The way it is now, it will not happen often that one gets rez'd from someone running by - simply because it costs a soul gem and thus gold.
