Can someone please comment on crowd control in pvp. Is it designed more just to throw a wench into the other guy or is it more like the chain mezz gang gank hell of lotro? As well any comments on stealth. Cheers
No mezzes.
There are snares, roots, knock backs and knock downs (all very short duration) - the knock down is the only time you can't perform any actions really and it's maximum duration is 3 seconds iirc.
There are tactics that allow you to recover 50% faster from these effects for example and some classes have skills that allow them to shrug off these types of CC.
So far I have not found it annoying or frustrating.
Five year DAOC vet here. Beta tester 6 weeks.I would not buy the game today.
because?
could we please get correspondent writers and moderators, on the eve forum at mmorpg.com, who are well-versed on eve-online and aren't just passersby pushing buttons? pretty please?
Stealth is a big fat joke that should be replaced with something useful.
1. 2 second cast to become stealthed.
2. Drains AP
3. 60 sec CD
So basically when you are in a big RvR area and you have come out of stealth you wont be stealthed again easily since there are a lot of people around and you have a 60 sec CD.
So you will only be able to use you openers basically once and then just fight until death. That was my experience.
Or you can do what I did a couple of times. After killing one person run away, hide and wait until you can become stealthed again
I'd rather they gave us some sort of "shadow step", "charge", "leap" or something along those lines that could at least be used more often than stealth.
