Re: Proposed idea for PvP with sub-classing

+1, as someone who never parties and just enters skirmishes as a solo player that idea is absolutely silly. you should not be required to group in order to make the most out of your spells.
I also hate the idea of killing build variety for PvP since build variety is one of ESO's strong points and why it's such a good game to PvP in imo.

Re: Vengeance Server
Yeah, still not enjoying it. I've played every time. It's just basic cookie cutter stuff. Biggest zerg wins, all that jazz.
I'll still play for a bit and fill out the survey, if that even means anything to them, I doubt it.

Would you like an event that gave us more transmute crystals as a reward?
I love this undaunted event but I dont need anymore keys, would have been nice to get double the transmute crystals, especially since we have subclassing now..I know I'm making new builds so need more transmutes.

Re: Future of Battlegrounds
There are dozens of ways to make spawncamping harder, including fantastical ones like mystical matchmaking that require population to be a hundred times what it is right now. Don't you think it's far more elegant to deftly remove the very reasons spawncamping became so useful in the first place?
I do, but when I’m looking at current spawn camping I’m taking note of the “how” and “why” and “whom” it’s happening with.
Pre subclassing the spawn camping wasn’t nearly as much of an issue or impact as it is now. Yes, it happened but not nearly as frequently.
MRR modification is one way to address BG issues. It’s not difficult to do nor does it require some massive population. A modified MRR will simply better allocate the pool of players it’s given by using different criteria than it does now.
If I have 20 players I can sort 20 players efficiently or poorly; but either way, I can still sort them.
If we don’t want to look at MRR or we think that will be less effective then we can simply adjust critical self healing and critical resistance as mentioned above.
We know that these two elements of BG’s are root causes of increased spawn camping and there’s no counter to them. You can’t stop someone from critically healing themselves to full in one burst and you can’t protect yourself from crits if the opponents modifier is so far above the soft cap.
Thats precisely why I’ve been saying for a while now that we don’t have proper counter play mechanics. The only counter for the crit meta is another crit meta and nothing else.
So to your question, yes, I’d very much like to address the root cause of the increased spawn camping, but just simply going back to 3 team isn’t going to solve our problem because that does nothing to address the mechanics which would still be present.
4v4v4 could still see spawn camping; just having that extra team does not mean they’re going to be able to save you from the meta-fest, or that they’ll even try.

Re: Vengeance and population
I'm so glad that EP is having fun in this campaign
I guess they consider PvDoor to be fun. Lol

Re: VENGEANCE needs to be applied to TRAIL GROUPS
Since Vengeance is so awesome, I propose we also apply this ruleset to Trial groups. I think the fact that the builds are simpler and easier to understand would make us PVPers able to handle PVE content.
If PVEers need simpler builds to compete in PVP, then PVPers need simpler builds to understand the complex PVE.
This is only fair.
Vengeance for PVE as well!
I unironically think this would be great, especially to introduce people to group pve without the pressure to farm a bunch of *** or come up with a viable build. It'd be like the tutorial we should have had.
But not the only way to play of course.
Re: Gatekeeping and the Beam Meta
I know i have posted something on this thread already but i would like to address this as well. Do you guys think this is gatekeeping or just high expectation? The boldest measures are the safest.
It depends on the trial really, the newest trial kind of requires a lot of cleave. Part of the issue is the lack of leaders, many just copy and paste templates and may not even know the trial fully. If they are doing a normal vet, they probably just wanna farm gear. For me personally I won't pug vOC unles it is double drops again, and even that is bait. I would probably only use a good trial discord or go with my guilds. Group Finder vets in newer trials is super hit and miss, which is probably why they have the high requirements or they want to carry a few folks.
Re: VENGEANCE needs to be applied to TRAIL GROUPS
I PVP and PVE at a high level and at this point I say yeah, go for it. Would love to see what the shoe looks like on the other foot and who gets upset about it.
Re: West Weald Treasure Map Leads are Bugged
For me the 'death knell' of this mechanic was the event that rolled the loot from treasure maps twice.
Even doubling the 'rolls' per map there was no improvement on the drop rate of leads and at the time the devs said that it was 'working as intended' (which is still to this day the official line).
When considering the system as a whole:
- Treasure maps do not stack and are 'unique' items; this results in a ludicrous amount of busywork regardless of the approach (trying to 'store' them using the mail system, alt accounts etc or 'unearthing' them as they come).
- Treasure map pool is beyond diluted now, and at least regarding zones that only have two treasure maps levelled lists seem to be weighed to favour S.Elsweyr/Galen.
- Antiquity furnishings are often multi-lead affairs.
- Lead drop rate (beyond the first 'set') is atrocious.
You get four layers of inconvenience/adverse odds stacked on top of each other (with the last layer taking the moldy, stale cake in that regard).
If this is 'working as intended' - as the devs insist on - I can only conclude that whomever this is intended for that player is not me and the only sane course of action - in my case - is to disengage.
Completely agree with you ! i recently scream loud enough, that @ZOS_Kevin said that they will test that again.
We'll see, but i won't stop until this is fixed, i invested too much money in this to give up
+1 to everything ApoAlaia said,
And,
For the past couple of years I've played consistently, entirely FOR Housing. But the projects I was excited about aren't even doable. "Play the way you want" – this system won't let me. And it's not like a boss we can gear up for and learn the mechanics, we only have silly conspiracy theories that maybe kinda sorta work.
The lesson repeatedly seems to be that if you're excited about a new release, don't buy that chapter, instead cancel your sub and come back in a couple of years when the things are actually attainable
I DOUBT that's the intent, or good for the game. And maybe there are way more robo-hamster types who'll grind no matter how abusive it is, than those of us who try to speak up or just quit. I'm so tired.MoonPile
