Aw: Fengrush was 100% right about the cross healing being one of the contributors to lag in Cyrodiil.
Tried it. Horrible performance, and as a healer, terrible idea. I was attacking keep with a group. Around me was around 25 people, but I could heal only 8 or so, because the rest of my group were near another wall, and players near me were unhealable. So, I suggest another test. One where dps could only damage players of their own class. Like wardens can only damage wardens, but not nb. Less calculations this way, right? And it would feel almost exactly like healers playstyle now.
Aw: How is DPS this low on CP 500+ toons?
Didn't say it was cheese. Just didn't see the point of such a parse.novemberhhh schrieb: »Well since pvp cp and slimecraw are "cheese" to some heres more or less the same thing with actual pve cp.
Wait, so do you usually have someone else draining the dummy?novemberhhh schrieb: »Had to self ele drain as well since its early here and no one on the friends list is on, rip. So I didn't actually go afk this time.
Thank you very much! Now I get your point. I do agree that not attacking is why some people do extremely low dps. I watch DDs closely when I see super low group dps, some people don't attack the boss half of the time. They are just moving around and occasionally doing a light attack or two. Most just move around too much and have very mismatched weapons. Like 2 hander on 1 bar and the lightning staff on the other.novemberhhh schrieb: »edit: To clarify, the point is that hitting practically zero dps is certainly a "put on actual dps gear, and dont be afk 98% of the time" issue.
Also, here's an "afk parse" (holding down attack button and doing absolutely nothing else) from a stamplar,
Max CP (properly allocated for a stamplar in pve), best gear (Selene + Deadly + Perfected Relequen) all fully upgraded and with best traits. And yet it's 34% less dps than an "afk parse" done by a double pet sorc using easy to obtain gear...

ForeverJenn schrieb: »So I levelled a tank over the weekend. Several times, while doing my random normal dungeons, I'd get groups of 3 500+CP. These groups were pulling 5-8k dps as a group, with me doing about 40% as a tank. How is this even possible? I am asking because I only tank and heal and am 810+ and my friends range from 18k to 60k per person. How are ppl this high doing less dps then my lowbie tank? I just wonder how this is possible, as I'm not dps, but even if I do try, I can at least pull 18k without knowing what I'm doing. Bots maybe?
Possible whispered conversation between the other players:dd#1: so, you guys just hit 50th, too huh?
dd#2: yeah, still got my level 10 training gear, crap skills slotted for xp boost. no cp allocated yet
heal: me, too; levelling skills/passives just queued and figured I''d get carried.
all together: lol, well looks like the tank has got this xD
Possible. Out of three times this happened, I LEGITIMATELY asked, "why is the dps so low?" Only one ever responded, "OpPoSeD tO tHroWinG a TaNtRuM?!" Like, they got offended over a question. Which leads me to believe I'm not the first person to say something....
Altho....it happened again last night in WGT. They were doing about 6k dps, but luckily the dps were receptive to instructions and over doubled and we were able to get through eventually. The healer was clueless and heavy attacked the with their resto staff, never went to a back bar, never used a buff or any assist. Heavy resto and the occasional small heal. They were even attacking the invincible phase at last boss. They only said "Not English sry" lol
Aw: Dark Passions Regalia Flap
Inb4 crotchflap removal upgrade is available in the crown store.
An upgrade must be purchased for every costume and style separately ofc and it is sold for a modest price of 6k crowns.

Aw: ZOS: URGENT PLEA ABOUT ABUSIVE COMMENTS on ZONE CHAT ...extremely upsetting.
I support discussion of this topic on the forums, and I'm glad that the OP put this here. Bringing this behavior to light in a social forum is important to reinforcing empathy and understanding of how forms of discrimination have a real world effect on the game's participants.
I saw a bunch of sexist garbage in Elsweyr zone chat yesterday, but to be perfectly honest I didn't report it and just ignored it because it takes too much effort to actually screenshot the entire conversation, log and/or figure out player names, and then organize and submit all of that content. If I did that every time I saw something offensive, I'd be doing it all day instead of playing. So, ZOS, one suggestion for feedback - make this process simpler.
Another observation I have is that despite the fact that some words have clearly been filtered out for guild, player, and user names, some stuff weirdly appears to get through. I saw someone with an obvious racial slur embedded in their player name the other day. How can that be allowed to even happen? How did that name even get into the system in the first place?
We have free speech in the US. People can say what they want and be as offensive as they want as long as they are not violating the civil rights of others. However, I can say with fair confidence that the leadership of many major global companies are really focusing on discriminatory problems that exist in the US and elsewhere, and tackling hate speech is a part of that, because the speech reflects ideas that, although allowable to have, are unacceptable to express because they reinforce the biases that lay beneath and drive actual discrimination. If ZOS wants to have a player community that is inclusive and accepting of all people, they need to have the necessary management tools and a clear expression of intent that prevents hate speech and the expression of discrimination or violence against a particular demographic subset of the population. I think the TOS does the latter part pretty well, but the actual implementation of their intent is where things fall short - and I think that's what this thread is about.

Aw: Fengrush was 100% right about the cross healing being one of the contributors to lag in Cyrodiil.
There's just one problem with this. If this current test was to be implemented, the only viable way to PvP would be to ball group. Not all of us have the time or energy to play this way and there is a lot of solo players who like to be the ad-hoc support/healer during sieges etc.
If cross healing is indeed the problem, why not make it so you can't receive the same heal more than once? We've all seen organised group streams and how they have 12 rapid regens stacked on their buff bars at all times. It's a bit silly.
Another thing would be dots and procs. If you're already affected by Hunter Venom proc, you shouldn't be able to receive another one until current runs out or you cleanse. Just the other day i got chased by a zerg and received 17 procs of Venomous Smite in 1 (ONE) second! The game couldn't keep up, so I was completely locked out of any skills, which is understandable. Receiving 34000 damage per second would not be survivable by any means regardless but it just shows, that the game can't keep up (on server I was obviously registered as deceased but in game I was still alive, until I was disconnected).
ZOS needs to consider their next move carefully.

The Dark Passions Regalia and Undyeable Parts.
I believed I could fix this fashion disaster of an outfit with a good dye scheme, but to my dismay the gold metal is undyeable.
My best attempt so far.
On the Vampire Noble outfit you let us dye the metal claws ZOS but why not here with this outfit? It really messed up all the ideas I had and makes certaint dye schemes just not work since you have this bright gold all over it!

Possible conversations:
group/tank: why is dps so low?
group/dd#1: <remains silent>
group/dd#2: <remains silent>
group/heal: no english, sry
whisper dd#1: nice touch heal
whisper dd#2: maybe we should kick the tank; wasn't expecting a real one, maybe we can get a proper kiting 40k+ dps turkey-puncher?
whisper heal: nah, tank is doing 40% dps, we might end up with another wet noodle like us. anyway the salt could get entertaining
whisper together: lol
Joking aside, as others have mentioned there's a whole bunch of possibilities:
- super-fast levelling doesn't give enough time to properly learn class, skills, attributes, cp etc in the absence of guild/experience player mentorship
- overland content doesn't give enough diverse experience to learn above
- wearing mismatched gear (but a GREAT outfit)
- the game itself doesn't give much feedback about damage, buffs,debuffs, heals, you need add-ons/3rd party website access. players may think they're contributing (using diverse skills, pseudo-rotation, occasional LA weaves etc) but have no real data with which to make any kind of objective assessment in the absence of add-ons.
- players like to have fun - for some that may be whacking away endlessly in a dungeon doing 2k dps. The damage is less important than feeling a sense of fun. And thingies die - eventually. Because you're awesome with your fire staff/2H, equal attribute point split combinations. Obviously.
etc.

Aw: Why no love for Templar?
ESO_Nightingale schrieb: »This entire thread seems to just be saying "nerf warden and necro". While I understand that templar has some critical problems, so do other classes including both warden and necromancer and it feels like you all are just saying that they have everything when they absolutely do not, for example, the common argument said about warden is "they have every buff", well, while we have a significant amount of named buffs and definitely more than I would personally think is reasonable, we legitimately need those to be viable because warden has a lack of quantity and quality class damage skills that don't have much synergy with eachother. Magicka Warden was for the longest time the worst dps before it got more raw damage buffs, meanwhile Stamina Warden as of Stonethorn is still one of the worst dps classes in pve, Warden DPS just generally cannot access it's class specific utility in pve because it's so ingrained to be used by tanks and healers, while additionally our green balance skills aren't used as much by dps in PvP because they underperform a noticeable amount compared to other healing skills and chiefly because of arctic blast's health scaling healing, natures embrace still has rubber band issues that are partly due to how slow the projectile moves.
I can't speak as much for necromancer but it has issues with several bugs and ai issues with it's pets which make it restricted and clunky, and the tethers are still extremely wonky to use, magicka necromancer is still quite bad in pvp.
Yes, stamina warden and necromancer are top tier in pvp, and necromancer has been an issue in pve. and they need to be toned down, but just know that these classes aren't without their issues either. all classes deserve tuning and treatment.
All classes do deserve treatment, and this is a post about templars.
You know when ppl create these kinds of posts they don't automatically infer that the only class that needs help is theirs.
And yet tons of ppl like you pop in to say: My class too! Completely missing the point of the thread.
If you argued that templars weren't as bad or even godlike or whatever your post would actually be more relevant to the thread than it is now.
Aw: Have you made Antiquarian’s Alpine Gallery your new main home?
It's a great topic question, @idk.
But, no, I've had Twin Arches for years as my primary ... no reason to change now I guess.
