I don't weave, I hate the playstyle and because of that I can't seem to get my DPS much above 20k. I have read tutorials out the wazzoo, copied builds from popular players/streamers/you tubers, golded entire sets (sans rings/neck), placed CP points according to tuts and I have a low ping and I still can't get much above 20k, not on my sorc, not on my templar, not on anything.

I really don't want to be rude and what you are doing is fine for normal content but If you don't like the Playstyle why Play at all?

Weaving will never be removed and it is necessary to keep combat fluently. Also you burn through your ressources a lot faster If you don't weave.

Hope you really never enter vet content.
Also I doubt you could have really copied any end game build because to get the gear you would have to play vet trials and arenas. With 20k dps it would have been Impossible unless you bought carry runs. I get 20 k If I Just use my spamable and maybe 1 dot.

Weaving isn't hard just learn and try it or stay with casual content.

hey, did you know that gear drops in... normal trials as well? and that you can still copy an end game build WITHOUT perfected sets? and many builds call for sets that drop in trials that existed before perfected set thing, so there ARE no perfected sets? did you know that farming on normal and then simply upgrading from blue is faster AND easier and most people prefer i when it comes to sets that do not have perfected versions? (and many builds also offer alternative setups with world drops/dungeon/crafted sets)

yes, weaving is part of this game. unfortunately. I say unfortunately, because not everyone can do it. yes even with practice.

But how do you get Monster sets in normal?
Also some sets like normal false god are pretty bad. But ur right though. Still 35 k should be possible if you read a guide 1 time.

100k gold at gold vendor in Cyrodil. you may need to be patient, but you will get those sets eventually. not to mention some of the very useful highly recommended sets - come from early vet dungeons that are not even exaggeration - easier then most DLC dungeons on NORMAL. and I'm sure i don't need to remind you that pledges for keys to get shoulders can be done on normal (and/or you can also buy shoulders with gold in Cyrodil)

last but not least. normal sets are not bad, while perfected are good. normal sets are missing a small edge of perfected sets, but even 80% of the performance is STILL good.

however. contrary to the belief - in THIS game? damage is not primarily your gear. oh the gear does help and it helps exponentially the better your rotation is. mathematically - this means that if you are doing 8k - getting a better set increasing your damage output by 15% - will get you to 9.2k. while if you are doing 40k without that set - getting that set will bump you up to 46k 1.2k damage increase vs 6k damage increase. same sets. rotation makes THAT much of a difference in every single way. and getting your rotation going in this game with its manual weaving and its non sticky targeting and its cooldowns that are set up in a way that if you are used to actualy watching animations as your indication of when to use the next skill, you are screwed? - THIS is how you get the disparity in dps.

35k is NOT possible if you read a guide one time. 35k is possible if you have that guide open, while you spend hours practicing your rotation, REGULARLY to build that muscle memory. more is possible if your reflexes are better AND you keep practicing.

do you think all those dps monsters you see make videos and the amount of time they spend doing nothing but hammering at a dummy, every. single day. is unrelated?

do you think it is REASONABLE. to expect an average player who is playing this for fun here and there - invest THIS MUCH TIME into practicing their rotation JUST to do an occasional dungeon that they PAY for a privilige to even acess?

I wonder how cool it might be to be able too keep your long swords or axes on the back instead at the waist. I mean keeping 1h maul isn't a good idea but for example if you using a sword or an axe style you can swap thier position to the back using outfit station. I do not like when my weapons are going through my legs so X way on the back would be great to make our characters more varied in terms of style.

If there were no technical contraindications, do you think it would be good? I know it's not practical expect when you are a witcher xD but I think it looks cool.

Saw a vampire player biting another, and I was like dang

So I eventually got to do it myself. (I'm the fool who bites my vict- I mean volunteer's leg)


Anyone got stories to tell, where the game got "creative" in a non-game-breaking way?

People should not put up with discrimination, though. Things like racism, sexism etc lead to much more than just "hurt feelings". Of course, harassment in games is only a small part of a big problem, but it doesn't mean that it's not a problem at all.

I have delt with people making fun of me for physical imperfections for over 30 years. I learned a long time ago that the best way to deal with it, was to ignore their commentary...because what they were saying was not true, it was just being said to be hurtful. I stop letting it hurt me and life is better.

The biggest change any person can do to the world, is change themselves.

I totally disagree when a group of people focus on the female genetalia and make disgusting and graphic comments in a hateful way...you reallynhad to be there to believe it. I've heard a *** of stuff but this was just too much for a game seriously nasty. You dont have to agree with my personal experience ...this is my post and i felt i needed to nake it. Im really here so zos take a stance on this.

Wow. I actually cannot believe the comments on here. The people she encountered were using HATE SPEECH. That is completely different than just “saying something mean”. Yes, this is absolutely something to be upset about and yes, cry about if you need to. From what OP said, that was definitely a gendered attack. Admitting that you were upset by this doesn’t make you weak, and I honestly cannot believe people would come on here to imply that you are.
As to what ZOS should do, they should actually punish people who get reported for something like this.

1. They shouldn't punish people who get reported, they should punish people who actually violate the ToS. Big difference.
2. You have to realise that zone is populated by edgy teens. These aren't personal attacks, it's mostly just 13 year olds writing anything that will upset people.
It would be more serious if people actually dmed her after they found out she was a woman and constantly harassed her. Regardless, report them and move on. Then zos will take the appropriate action and that's all they should do. I get that people can get really offended/hurt by things said ingame, but the issue has been around since the very beginning of online gaming - obviously there isn't a better solution.

[snip] You did the right thing with the tools ZOS has given. You ignore and reported them. Thankfully you didn't name and shame them and get this thread deleted. While I admire your restraint in not speaking to them, bringing it up in the forums is just giving them the power they craved. If they see the post they will know they achieved their goal of getting under your skin. [snip]

So it’s wrong to inform people of the problem and wrong to try to get the attention of ZOS so they will fix it? Hmmm. Can’t say I agree with you there. It’s important to discuss issues like this so people know what to watch out for and people who have experienced similar things know they aren’t alone.
Edit: Also, you do realize this goes way beyond “being mean” right? Based on OP’s description, this sounds like legit hate speech meant to intimidate and degrade. So yeah, I don’t blame her for being upset.

So in other words, we should blame the victims of harassment for "allowing it to hurt them" instead of harassers? That's not very constructive. Sure, it's not possible to get rid of all evil, but it doesn't mean that we should give up trying and just accept it. Mental health is a real thing, and trying to harm people psychologically is no better than trying to hit them.
Shifting focus from perpetrators to victims only empowers said perpetrators and creates a very unwelcoming atmosphere. Games are supposed to be fun for everyone participating, they're not here to test your mental strength or something. Harassment is already against ESO rules, the problem is that these rules aren't enforced as often as they should be.

While the bank space this frees up will be tremendous...there will be unintended consequences.

1. After an initial surge in prices for stuff, the market will tank. I personally don't care about this since there are tons of ways to make gold in the game, and I dont even care about gold anyway.
2. People will run dungeons and trials far less often. This will lead to exacerbated problems in filling a pug group, either through zone chat, or the group finder itself. In fact, even guildees will be less motivated to run a dungeon or trial they have run 50 times before and have all the pieces from. The largest motivation for dungeons and trials will shift from gear to achievments.
3. Fewer people running dungeons for gear will lead to more motivated people in pug groups running for skins/motifs/achievements...this will likely increase the skill of your average pug.

I can't determine on balance whether this will be a positive or negative change for the game to be honest....fewer groups means less social interaction....which is a death knell for MMOs in general. I guess in the end it doesn't make that big a difference as long as new players continue to flock to the game though.

For sets that I want, I'll run the dungeon up to the last piece. Spellpower Cure Battle Axe, here I come!

And also just for completionist purposes, since having empty slots in a collection is sad.

2. It is much less resource heavy. You are not as prone to not being able to sustain because of bad healers.

What bad healers? The ones that don't get a split second to even move to their back bar cause the group is so bad they have to spam heals the entire time? 😂😂😂
