Re: Would you like Zerith Var's favour to not be hidden behind winning a ToT match?
This is the only reason I don't have the perk; no great loss, Azander's perk is far better,by leaps and bounds imo.

ToT is not as much 'out of my comfort zone' as it is 'completely out of my radar'.
The only reason I got this unlocked is because a friend kindly told me what cards to play, both to unlock the dailies and to get the thing done.
From my point of view ToT fits in ESO as well as a 'EuroTamrieltruck Simulator' minigame would.
Except this I might actually play.

I have done all the current ones I think there should be multiple ways to earn companion keepsakes not a fixed list of requirements, something similar to the way golden pursuits work with multiple activities to choose from.
And preferably a way to toggle them on or off in collections, part of me regrets getting Zerith's one with all the glowing heavy sacks everywhere, especially the ones you can't get to that spawn inside terrain.

Re: PTS Update 48 - Feedback Thread for New Item Sets
I still just want to know how we have half the combat team working on vengeance simplifications and reduced bloat...........Then at the same time we have the rest of the team putting out complicated bloated exceedingly calculation dense sets like the above Xanmeer Genesis.
all I see is Lag x Lag x Lag x Lag x Lag
Yet we still have players and devs wondering what the issue with the current design of the game is.
- The set promotes the use of AoE spam to get ticks on every enemy to stay on kill feeds.
- The set promotes the use of Dots to get ticks on every enemy
- The set then interacts with your "allies" not just group members in an aoe
- The set then interacts with 3 stats
- The set then has a cooldown.........which is not clarified whether the cooldown is on the wearer or on your allies.

If there is only one campaign of course everyone would be in that one campaign, with the choice given we will see how popular Vengeance actually is among those who regulary play PvP.
Well the vengeance 4 test 2nd week overlapping with live will show what is preferred GH or vengeance. Since it is the 2nd week hopefully enough event people will leave and give better data on which is preferred. Will GH survive if all the pugs decide to stay in vengeance? Who knows, at that point GH probably just becomes a 12v12v12 bg match of ball groups with 1vX players sitting around bored with nothing to do.....which is basically what live is most nights.
Regardless of preference or not vengeance development would still be needed for performance data, zos needs it as a tool to turn on and off systems. Ideally vengeance is only used to develop new systems one at a time and then implemented into live pvp. For instance they already reworked the unmorphed skill code, once you finish making morphs you could replace the bloated poorly coded live skills.
You think vengeance is taking place to pinpoint performance issues so they can apply what they've learned to fix live cyrodiil? Why haven't we seen any performance improvements on live then?
Vengeance is a test within itself. It's testing what they have to do to roll out vengeance on a permanent basis.
They have only done two baseline tests......the only thing you could extract was that the addition of resto and support lines with aoe group stacking tools had SOME impact on the server ASSUMING that zos was not fiddling in the background. Even with this good data if zos wasnt fiddling, it doesnt disprove that all the other systems are not also contributing to performance issues. Thus you would continue testing.
What other sort of performance impacts can you conclude from the current 2 tests that you think should have been implemented onto live?
You're not understanding what ZOS is testing with vengeance.

Let's say, once V4 is on live in December, it remains accessible until after the V5 PTS testing. Then, if necessary, it goes down for a week or two to allow for adding new features.
Would it lead to an avalanche of support tickets about corrupted characters and items missing from inventories?
Would it make players complain about new features because they got used to a certain ruleset?
Would it trigger even more complaints about unbalanced classes and skills?
No. ZOS isn't going to support two different versions of cyodiil long term. They're just not going to. Sooner or later it will be one or the other, and vengeance isn't going to fly with the current PvP players, and the PvE players won't play vengeance either. They don't like PvP or they'd already be playing it.
Why is this so hard to understand for the vengeance supporters? This is why vengeance has to be opposed in every possible way at every opportunity.
Then why did so many PvE players who hate GreyHost played and enjoyed Vengeance?
Them not playing PvP doesn’t mean they do not like any PvP, only that they dislike current PvP. Otherwise „GreyHost players don‘t like PvP or they would play Vengeance“ would be true. Players just like different version of PvP.
There are quite a few current and a lot more former PvPer preferring Vengeance (but that probably autoturns them into nonPvPer).
Nobody wanting to play Vengeance is „hard to understand“for Vengeance supporters because they’re living prove it is not true.
Well, at least you are realizing that vengeance is popular with the PvE community. The PvP community almost without exception hates vengeance. People who like PvP are already playing PvP. Vengeance will not, ever, under any circumstances, bring new players to ESO. It will do the opposite. It will drive away the few PvP players left.
And to answer your question, the PvE players populated vengeance because there was an associated Golden Pursuit. Once they had their pursuit completed they left and never came back.

Re: Rich Lambert's Comments About The Current State of Balance
So, out of curiosity... is the beam still overpowered even without subclassing? I recall it pretty being totally overpowered when Necrom came out, but wasn't it brought down to a more normal level afterwards?
I don't have Necrom (or the Arcanist), so I can't really check.
It was never brought down enough to the point where people sought out other options.
It has too much add clear potential, and I have no idea how any dev thought that the Amulet of Kings beam was something every player needed to get their hands on.
How do you even balance it with the design it currently has? Let’s say 150k is a good number for Single Target, even at 75k DPS, Beam meets that number hitting just two targets, and priority add clear is extremely important in high end content and you can almost always stack the mobs together.
Fatecarver needs a redesign from the ground up.
I mean honestly it wouldn’t be that hard. They could just remove the channel, make it a cast time skill that hits only one time, but for more damage, still scaling with Crux, if it was part of a rotation instead of the majority of it, there wouldn’t be a problem.
Re: Official Discussion Thread for "Brave Tamriel’s Dungeons During the Undaunted Celebration"
My elf started the event by shopping at the Impresario since she had 12/12 tix. Alas, she already has the morpho pet and the bits for another. She loves her precious palomino mare so has no interest in the spidermount. She's quite happy with her weapon motif. She brought her tix down to 10 by bringing her banked group repair kits up from 218 to 219. I enjoy the event regardless, but hate almost throwing away tickets.
It has been mentioned before but I'm among those who would appreciate more variety at the Impresario's ticket shop. Furnishings, costumes etc would be lovely.

Re: Tone-deaf AUA on Reddit
Between the BG livestream and this discussion on reddit it seems obvious why the dev's don't communicate directly with the community basically ever. It makes us wonder if they even play the game they create.

Re: Are you all enjoying this undaunted event? ( pls share your experiences)
I don't care about the event at all, I don't do dungeons or any group content aside from the occasional world bosses.
The rewards aren't interesting for me either, as I find the style pages pretty ugly and underwhelming. I'll just stick to playing as usual or maybe start yet another alt.
