Re: No console incremental patch this week?
Very frustrating not to be able to collect eastern solstice skyshards and finish the achievement. Also Solstice treasure map IV is still bugged. Never preordering again.
I agree it is very sad and discouraging that they are choosing to leave Eastern Solstice broken on consoles until next year. Glad for the few PVPer’s that are left, they are now focusing on that part of the game [Vengeance], but it is taking away from the PVE side, I feel.
Personally, I am not even going to attempt to do the story or achievements until after the update. I wonder if many others are feeling the same and that is contributing to the empty zone. The only part I am doing is running my alternate characters through the new public dungeon to work on getting the fragments since only 1-4 drop each time I do the dungeon. Sure would have been nice to do the new zone during the holidays.
Stay safe
Re: Dont deactivate normal Cyrodiil or respectfully i will not play any title with a zenimax brand anymo
This is a problem. I know some people will say "oh but there is 3 of them and one of you. How can you expect to win?". My answer is the skill gap. This has always existed in ESO PVP, and is what enables outnumbered gameplay. In the current balance of vengeance, the skill ceiling is lowered dramatically and the skill floor is brought up similarly. This results in situations like the one above, where the skill gap is made meaningless. As a veteran player, it feels terrible to have all of your time and dedication be artificially made meaningless through balance like this.
I have a serious question, how would fighting against 3 "unskilled players" spamming blockcast heals and, while not dying also not doing damage, be any different than fighting against 3 veteran players spamming heals and being unkillable? How is labeling them "low skill" even fair when they are clearly using their skills in a normal way? Because in the current state of the game, and probably for most of ESO history, you can't kill a player 1v1 of equal skill who is playing defensively. It's like blaming templars for being heal bots while NB and sorcs have their stealth and mobility.
Honestly I think ESO players become delusional. Being able to 1v5-10 fulfills a power fantasy that was caused by esoteric theorycrafting and takin advantage of new players. It should not be normal to 1xX any more than 3 people, and it isn't "normal" in any game I've ever played except ESO.

Little to none. Animations and effects are client-side.
Then why are they ruining all the animations to improve "performance?"

They weren't cheating, but holy heck game mechs are sure unclear
A couple weeks ago, I had sent in a ticket to Support about a player that was clearly seeing me through stealth through cheats. I sent them a video showing such the case as well. I should preface that, no, I was NOT revealed by mage's light/expert hunter/revealing flare, in their detection radius, or even just hit by an AOE damage skill that will force people out of stealth. I was sprinting in the Vampire Stage 4 stealth. That will keep me invisible through a detection radius (usually), like the Nightblade invis. I was straight up smacked by single target, needing-to-see-the-target skills. I will not name who this player is, nor will I post the video here to follow the No Naming and Shaming rules here.
And what was I sent in return after 2 weeks after sending in the evidence of this blatant cheating? This:
How are we NOT banning these cheating players? Just give them a slap on the wrist? The shear amount of disrespect the ZOS support has towards honest players is disgusting. So what if these players pay this company money? So do all the non-cheating players, the new players, the veteran players. Absolutely disgusting to get such a response when there was a clear violation of the rules and CLEAR cheating.

The player cap on Live is 360, and on Vengeance it's 900. 1 Bar on Vengeance is roughly the same as 3 bars on Live.
ZOS have posted graphs of the player numbers.
Re: [REQUEST] Permanent Vengeance Test Campaign
Pay attention to the buffs/debuffs you get on your toon while in pvp. If you ever get a skill that has a countdown of 47000 days that is a tell tale sign of exploiting used against you, namely desync. This happens when your opponent uses specific skills in a specific order known to have the effect of desync. It is 100% against ToS and bannable.
I have reported and successfully had players banned submitting evidence of this action. The trick is pin pointing when the desync occurred.
If you google "eso how are players desyncing in pvp" ai will run down exactly the root cause, and list known skill combinations that do this.

Re: Two Years On, Lightning Staff Arc Still Broken — Please Fix It
Wasn’t the problem because people were getting 1-shot in PvP with no time to react? And ZOS never fixed the core problem?
One‑shot in PvP with a lightning staff heavy attack channel? Don’t think so. Sure, I vaguely remember a few noobs trying it in PvP, but they were quickly disillusioned about its actual viability. Anyway, what I’m talking about here is the first two pulses of the channel — which still hit single targets exactly the same as before, just no longer AoE. The single‑target damage hasn’t changed, so this clearly isn’t related to “one‑shotting players.”
No. The issue wasn’t the lightning heavy attacks themselves — those builds were letting more players step into vet and HM content, finally giving us a bigger pool of teammates that were (mostly) capable of pulling their weight. But then, right before the Arcanist expansion, a few forum voices decided that seeing “too many lightnings everywhere” was apparently intolerable, and that low‑APM players didn’t “deserve” that much power… and ZOS happily nerfed it. We lost quite a few players.
And what did those who paid for the expansion immediately get instead? The green beam. A straight‑up replacement. Same role, same purpose — only now it does more damage, easier, adds a shield, and runs at an even lower APM. Beams everywhere, bravo 😆
This isn’t really about damage anymore (no one’s giving up the beam, let’s be honest, much more powerful than those HA builds ever were).
It’s about fixing the absurdity: electric arcs phasing harmlessly through enemies looks ridiculous, breaks immersion, and makes the game feel sloppy. Time to clean it up.
