Great call. Maybe something more in line with damage dealing or resistance
Re: Vengeance test key metric - player interest
I think people would be less confused about vengeance if ZOS would have been more transparent with all the testing we did a few years ago. We've already done this. Why are we doing it again? Also, just end the conflict within the community and give us both. The people who like live can stay there. The people who want skyshards and zerg fights can go to vengeance.

No more vengeance pls. On xbox EU cyro population dropped hard since the previous vengeance campaign.

It will interesting to see how it goes with no golden pursuit to draw the PvE mains though.
How do you suppose they fix the system they already have? You realize they will have to test regardless..... Which people will complain about regardless....... So what's the difference? I am atleast happy that we are getting more effort than them just disabling a system and then going nope didnt work, ok we give up. They already attempted strip tests from live several times with no results. It only makes sense to go from the other side of the problem and make a platform where you can add in systems one at a time to find issues.
Its no different than having 50 addons and an error. Either you get a clear crash message and can pinpoint a fix, or the message is unclear and you have to investigate. Maybe you can guess and disable the 1/50 addon that is causing the issue. Maybe you can't after a few attempts and decide it is better to disable all addons and slowly add them back in until the error pops up again.
The problem is that the way zos has been poorly communicating their intent is making PvP players avoid the test. People are essentially boycotting it hoping it sends the message that people dont like template pvp. They don't want pvp to boil down to just unmorphed skills which is all that vengeance is right now. Test wise it has to be like this, sets can't come back until a handful of other base game systems are rewritten and introduced. You cant have sets without stat changes, stat changes don't matter unless skills are based on stats, etc.
I disagree with the boycott concept because it is counterintuitive. We already know player dilution matters. A vet pvper will induce thousands of times more lag than a brand new player who sits on the walls light attacking from 80m away. So when you boycott all you do is allow more pugs into the server who exponentially show better server performance. At the end of the day your boycott made vengeance look better data wise from what zos sees.
Also as a pvper you are shooting yourself in the foot at rejecting the only serious involvement we got in a decade. So would you rather wait another decade while complaining? I just don't get it, ive been waiting since 2015 to get a fix. The same people complain about lag say something needs to be tested and fixed, but then they wont allow the test to happen? Make up your mind or at least dont be hypocritical, state that you enjoy the lag and don't want live pvp to change.
I can't speak to what the person your inquiring to will say, but I know what most of us PvP mains will say.
ZOS needs to limit heal and shield stacking to only one instance of each shield or heal at any given time. This is what we've been asking for going on 5 years or more now.
And people should complain about how things are being managed these days. We are getting far less for the same $ now days, the AI ZOS uses went live years before it was ready, etc. ....
No reason those of us who will never play any version of vengeance no matter what to help ZOS test a system that, if implemented, will be the end of ESO for us.
Re: Guild history turned off - perhaps this warrants an unplanned and urgent maintenance?
I echo the sentiment expressed by fellow players in this thread.
I appreciate the acknowledgement but the lack of response on what are pretty crucial matters is... well, underwhelming.
Just in case the subtext on this thread is not self-evident enough, we are as much seeking actionable information as we are asking for a reason to continue doing what we are doing.

Re: Guild history turned off - perhaps this warrants an unplanned and urgent maintenance?
Hi All, just following up here. We posted an update message here regarding guild history. Our team is working to resolve the issue, however, this cannot be hotfixed. The team is currently working on other ways to help while we work to resolve the issue. If we have any additional updates, we'll follow up in the linked thread above.ZOS_GinaBruno wrote: »Due to an issue where guild trader bidding history was visible to those without the appropriate guild permissions, we are temporarily turning off ALL guild history information. Unfortunately the fix for this issue cannot be hotfixed, so it will go out at the next earliest possible time: the incremental patch for PC on Sept. 15 and for consoles on Sept. 16.
Thank you all for your patience and understanding.
When you post those kinds of updates, it'd be nice if it were an open thread. Obviously there's a lot of questions and concerns that warrant discussion, so just having a closed thread where updates are posted isn't helpful. Would also appreciate if the questions asked in this thread received answers.

Re: Guild history turned off - perhaps this warrants an unplanned and urgent maintenance?
Honestly, I'm reaching a point that if things are just always gonna be like this for trader guilds, just scrap the system, put in the auction house, and we can all pack up and go home.
This ride is getting pretty exhausting.

Re: Argonian swim speed
Agree. Zos, please give us argonians a shadowscale mastery passive. Maybe some crit chance or much higher chance to do alchemical poison attacks?
Re: Guild history turned off - perhaps this warrants an unplanned and urgent maintenance?
Thanks for acknowledging the post, but this adds no new information and honestly feels so out of touch with the community.
I am curious if you do a test and disable guilds as a whole how many players will stick around, For how you treat the community that puts in endless hours of their personal time to make your game continue "for another 10 years" it genuinely feels like you just don't want us here. If a guild system is broken it takes 12 days for a possible fix (lets be honest it's not the best track record) but if a crown store related issue presents that can't be hotfixed the server is down instantly, Home tours? Server down at a time most likely to hurt guilds and GMs.
Why is it like we're screaming into the void for some basic level of support. Your post shows that you've seen this thread, but likely haven't actually read any of the posts and just posted a copy and paste because you know it will only make the community louder if it's entirely ignored.
I used to wish for some tools to make admin of guilds easier, now I just pray that you don't do something that makes it 10x harder, like bug and disable the 1 system we have to keep trade guilds running and to acknowledge the incredible support of our guildies who want to support the guild. We can't even thank a guildie for donating because we'll never know who or where it came from unless they tell us, for trade guilds with requirements that can also lead to a possible removal of a member unjustly creating a rift between the guildie and the admin team. I'm just going to cut off my rant here because I am honestly in disbelief at this lack of awareness and blatant disregard to your most active players who put in endless hours to keep this game running.

Re: Subclassing: what are some ways that you use to deal with loss of class identity?
I'm enjoying sub-classing very much. It brought me back to the game, and I enjoy a variety of activities, such as, PVP, veteran dungeons, veteran trials, veteran arenas, etc. I like being able to have different armory slots with different builds/ideas all on the same character, because I hate grinding the basic stuff on a fresh toon. That's just me, some people don't mind it. But I like feeling like I'm constantly evolving my main character that I've had since the beginning.
