Re: Vengeance has officially ended the THREE BANNERS WAR
I'm pretty sure there are shady people playing the game. But to say ball groups hope for lag so they can take advantage of people is just ridiculous. Balls groups die fast if the can't cast skills. Just like everyone else.
I don't think groups are purposefully causing lag, or attempting to cause lag in order to gain some benefit for themselves over their opponents. That's just silly.
But they are 100% undoubtedly the first and foremost cause of prime time PVP lag. Nearly every night I've played over the past few years, it becomes immediately clear when the ball groups log in and begin playing. You can genuinely feel it.
Further, zenimax themselves did firmly confirm that ball groups are the cause of the performance issues. Back during one of their early performance tests maybe 4-6 years ago (I think the AOE cooldown test or perhaps the cross healing test), they did share their "results" after finishing. They cited that the behaviors of certain groups stacking together and rapidly refreshing their buffs and heals was something they had not anticipated when designing ESO, and was the number one thing impacting performance.
While I agree many posters are going overboard with their suggestions that groups are maliciously causing the performance issues for their own gain, they aren't wrong that the groups are in fact the primary cause of the lag.
It is certainly a cause but it definitely isn't THE cause and anyone holding it up as like the Holy Gail of performance are deluding themselves.
The entire game is likely built upon a code base house of cards with inefficient logic for most of the game's core systems. Perhaps that is most exposed in Cyrodiil but it applies to all content. I have been in tons of trials and dungeons with simultaneous player crashes, random kicks, massive input delay, lag, rubber-banding, mechanics not animating, etc. And those aren't even like 1%'er trifecta sweat groups with 100+APM. That is just normal players playing the game.
ZOS needs to commit to re-writing that that code rather than stripping away entire game systems or playstyles. Otherwise, they are only temporarily masking the symptoms (which WILL return, as technical debt always does) rather than treating the actual disease.

Runeblades with dread is the best st setup currently that is widely used. I say give us crux styles but also make other classes competitive with herald of the tome.
Re: Improving Random Dungeon Groups with a Player Rating System
All the people with the "I've already run X so many times" Okay, what else do you actually do in the game that you feel the need to run through as fast as humanly possible like it's such a daunting unforgiving chore? lol.
I've run fg1 100000 times since 2014, and I still treat it like I treat every single dungeon and trial I do. By-the-book, pack to pack as a group and via the Tank's lead and pace.

And they in turn can all downvote you too? So, 1 disapprove and 2 approves for each of the speedrunners and 3 disapproves for you? Are you sure it's the speedrunners who will be playing alone?
Just want to clarify that random group does not mean all players have queued for the random daily dungeon. Some queued for a specific dungeon and got a speedrunner. Everyone glosses over that point.
Still, I don’t see how a rating would help. It would further complicate the game.
At this point, pretty much EVERYONE is looking to speed run the dungeons because EVERYONE has run them 200+ times. I don't want to crawl through Lair of Maerselok one more time than I need to.
If you want to play that way or if you want to get the quest done, why is it so hard to join a guild or make some friends and ask them for help, and then, set expectations before anyone agrees to go by telling them you want to get the quest done? This is an MMO after all, and the point of the game is to meet other players to play with.
Did you read what I said?
I have run them numerous times but I don’t think it is fair to expect 3 players who might queue for a specific dungeon and have a player who queued for the quick random daily dungeon speedrun and pull all of them from boss to boss when they want to open chests and move at a slightly more leisurely pace and kill all the mobs.
Also, I am running with other people, I am just using the in-game function called the group dungeon finder to do so. Nothing wrong with that. If I had like-minded guildies to run with I wouldn’t have to queue.
I am playing the game as intended.
More houses purchased with in game gold
I own all the houses you can buy with in game gold with the exception of one. I would love to see more made available. Any chance this will happen?

New one is much easier to see when stacked in a trial.

The Bismuth Steam Baths house is purchasable with gold. It requires the Western Solstice Grand Adventurer achievement to be able to purchase it.
