Re: Vengeance has officially ended the THREE BANNERS WAR
It may have been 0 bars across all factions on PS NA, but the handful of DC that were there were overcome by waves and waves of AD and EP across the map when I was there. Every new campaign has players queue locked on either AD or EP due to Alliance change tokens, and the increased population for Vengeance has made it even more of a slaughter fest than usual. So much fun.
Re: Please Adjust Healing in Vengeance + Combat Animation Concerns
Not sure what they're stress testing if they're gonna drive away all the players with the same broken heal stacking that drives them away from Live. The hype from the first test is long dead at this point.From a balance and gameplay perspective, the Vengeance environment wasn't very fun after the first day with the amount of healing going on.

Cuz whirlwind already has two executes. One on the skill and another in passives on DW. Does it now have a third calculation? Or did the other two morphs just get a copy of the skill execute.
Is this just another layer of power creep adding calculations to the server? Is the concept of cutting back not clicking to some people on the dev team?
- 9m radius + 33% execute - 270 cost.
- 6m radius + 100% execute.
Steel Tornado won't beat it out because damage is king and 6m is more than enough, but it definitely competes now. Less of a gap between the 2, I could see Steel being more useful for solo content.
It's just a ball group buff
Re: Proposed idea for PvP with sub-classing
I would point out that they tried no cross-healing years ago, and people hated it. It completely killed solo play as a healer, among other issues.

The first Vengeance Test people were happy, finally something was done for PvP, it was something new, many participated and rightfully gave the feedback it runs great. Yet even in the first Vengeance there was a huge divide between PvP Opinion and PvE Opinion, PvE people think its great, because its so easy to get in and they won't get nuked by skilled people.
The second Test added Weapon lines, huge change and had a golden Pursuit, yet it was already evident after just a few days how the population got lower. It was not new anymore, not exciting it simply had no long term value playing after finishing the Golden Pursuit.
The third test now happens parallel to the biggest PvE Event without a golden pursuit. You could argue thats a reason people don't play it, but there is the point, PvE people do not play it because their event is more important to them, PvP people do not play it, because its just way to dumbed down. If Vengeance had any chance of longterm success people would still play it. PvP people often do not care for the Undaunted Event yet they are also not there. I think that shows very clearly that Vengeances "Success" Story is just short term, something you can do once in a while but not permanently. Those who play PvP regulary leave it be, those who don't leave after a few days, in the end thats just a downward spiral until no one plays PvP anymore.
So pve people like it because otherwise they are killed by...skilled people in a normal mode. But pvp people don't like it because it's dumbed down and now everyone is on even playing field? Is that how I see this argument? So where was that skill coming from? Dare I say...sets and overtuned skills were carrying people?
Nope. Because any PvE player could use the same overtuned sets and skills, and would still lose against the skilled player. There is much more to it. Movement for example, the abillity to know when to cast what, keep buffs running without running out of Ressources. Its a matter of training. Sets and Skills are equal for everyone anyway, just copy a build.
If both players have same overturned skills and sets than those are out of equation and any advantage can decide the fight and skill is the only thing left so of course the more skilled player will win. That doesn’t have to be the regular PvP player, some players not regularly PvPing or having PvP build might be better at movement, casting the right skill at the right time and keeping buffs and pools up.
Much more interesting would be if the PvPer in PvE build could beat a PvEr in PvP build. Or a „skilled PvPer“ a „bad PvPer“ if they swap builds.
Movement, knowing when to cast what and keeping your buffs and ressources up are also important in Vengeance and still the self-proclaimed „skilled pvper“ hate it calling it noskill zergfest and the players they call „skillless“ like it.

Btw PC EU also only 1 bar each rn
I just walked in PCEU and its 3bars all

Re: ESO needs to add good gold generators to have a healthier economy
Good post but my take is that there has been an ever increasing population decline has caused the over-supply(at least on PS5 NA).
Several guilds I was in just for making friends and some for vendoring shut down due to that very thing. What used to be lively guild chats are almost non-existent. The two week trader change, the core abilities changes, PvP inattention, the constant unending skill and set changes causing people to scrap beloved builds(this is me), and the most recent blow, subclassing caused more people to leave than it drew in. ZoS just does not get it I don't think. Changes like these bring in relatively few new players that actually stay versus the amount of long term players that leave.
Trust has been broken. It's hard to get someone who has left to come back. I'll be one of those once my season pass runs out. The only thing that I would even consider staying for would be a commitment by ZoS to leave sets and skills alone unless absolutely necessary. I'm just worn out from all the combat changes.

Re: ESO needs to add good gold generators to have a healthier economy
Deflation on PC EU, baby 
.
Not so long ago, 1 crown = 2.400 gold.
Which became 2.000 gold around April-May?
Now is low as 1.700 at verified gifters...
Is this good or bad, I don't know.
I'm the member of two big trading guilds, and yes, situation is not good.
In my guilds, there are members who give away randomly motifs and recipes.
I see players in zone chat give away them, too.
I stopped selling many things as there is no point.
TL; DR
You can't fix economy simply because after fake subclassing update and lucklaster Solstice, it's pretty obvious that less and less players* play it. No matter how many of you say that Steam numbers don't represent whole game - correct, but they represent trend. And trend is:
Much less players => much less demand and with the same or increased supply => prices going down (deflation).
*It's even worse when long term high spending players leave, and siginificant minority did, so demand is even lower. New incoming players are going to be poor for a long time if they even stay long enough.

Yep. GM of the one of my trading guild, has another one, too and gave up on bidding and having top location for it as is unsunstainable.The only reason for the deflation is the large amount of gold sunk on trader bids. And the reason GMs spend more on trader bids than they are worth is because they enjoy being the GM of a trade guild as part of their gaming experience. If more gold were generated, trader bids would just go up even more. It still would be net deflationary as long as GMs are willing to bid so high.
I'm not at all a fan of the ESO trade guild system, but so long as this is the design (and especially since multi-bidding was introduced), more gold will be spent on kiosk bids each week than the economy actually supports.

Re: VENGEANCE needs to be applied to TRAIL GROUPS
[snip] Close this thread please !!
Suggesting vengeance mode for PvE is trolling but promoting vengeance mode for PvP is totally fine with you?
Ok, but you have to realize the inconsistency with the thinking.
