Re: Whats the average resistances in the current landscape of PvP

No there is no hard cap. 33k is the soft cap, but dont forget that enemies will have pen. Average pvp pen is about 20-24k including breaches. So even if you had "capped" at 33k you realistically are only at 9k armor and nowhere near hitting the 33k cap
An average PvP build aims for
- 30k to 33k health
- 3500 to 4000 crit resists
- ~30k resists
- ~18K to 30k pen (this really depends on balorgh)
- ~45% crit chance(runs Assassin with stuhns or ET)...........or Run about 25-30% with acuity going to 100%
- Then you just grab up whatever balance of regen vs WeaponDamage vs Movement speed you want
- Then you grab whatever max stats remain for some bonus healing
@Thumbless_Bot @CameraBeardThePirate I think it depends more on what you are doing instead of a flat rule. I see the reasoning for it in a 1v1 , but in 1vX scenarios with things like hurricane, dbos, bladecloak all ticking, there is a very good chance you will proc acuity even at 90% critchance or regardless of your base so extra crit doesn't hurt you.
It's not the crit chance that's the issue, it's the duration of Acuity.
If you're above 20% at base without any acuity stacks, your duration of acuity will be shorter, as you will only ever be able to generate 4 stacks. If you're under 20%, you'll always manage to generate that last stack and thus extend your acuity duration by another few seconds.
And yes, you'll be above 20% with prophecy or savagery, which is why if you want the max duration of Acuity you shouldnt have that buff on your bar.

I really hope that the last dungeon boss will have the doubled loot for sure, but the "chance" wording doesn't give me much hope.

And I can get into large battles outside of the Vengeance tests when all three alliances are pop-locked. Outside of that, when the population of my alliance was low or when I tried to solo capture resources-- which is something I enjoy doing in the Gray Host campaign-- I was pretty miserable in the Vengeance 1 test due to not being able to successfully do the things I normally enjoy doing in Gray Host.MincMincMinc wrote: »At the same time these new players and casual players prefer vengeance and normally wouldnt be able to play in GH because it is a terrible environment unless you are a 1vXer, ball grouper, or in a zerg guild.
The Vengeance 2 test was much more fun for me than the Vengeance 1 test had been, because it felt closer to Gray Host-- not as far as my ability to solo capture resources, which still wasn't up to snuff compared to Gray Host, but more because I could slot the weapon skills I was used to using (or, at least, the Vengeance 2 version of those skills), so I had an easier time with pressing the buttons I've grown accustomed to pressing, rather than reflexively pressing those same buttons and having class skills I'm not used to using fire off instead of the expected weapon skills. But I was still weaker in Vengeance 2 than in Gray Host; I just wasn't totally flummoxed as in Vengeance 1 due to not being able to set up my ability bars the way I like.
Well thats the thing. What COULD vengeance become. For instance at the very least we could drop all of lives systems back in and we would just replace the core code of skills while splitting pve and pvp. Still an improvement at the end of the day. If they were to add back in all the systems we normally would have for building with these new base skills youd hardly tell the difference. Really we just lost the random tacked on major/minor power creep buffs and effects and status effects on ACTIVE skills.....did those really add much to the experience or were they just bloat to satisfy complaining nerf threads after 10 years?

This is not an accurate analogy. It ignores the game in its entirety. A more accurate analogy would actually be something like this:
Some players have one sugar cookie they can enjoy and a whole plate of various cookies they are allergic to and cannot enjoy. Other players have access to that whole plate of cookies, but they don't really like the taste of the one sugar cookie the first players can eat. They are going to be given a sugar cookie using a new recipe so they can enjoy all the cookies if they so choose. Meanwhile, the first players are still stuck with one sugar cookie and a plate of various cookies they can't eat. Oh, and to top it off, the plate of cookies is covered in fancy sprinkles, and the new sugar cookie recipe will also probably have fancy sprinkles.
Hopefully that makes it a little clearer why some people are upset by this and don't see it as a "fair" solution at all. You are of course free to disagree, but at least try to have an accurate understanding of the other side's point of view.
So what about me?? What about the thousands of players who complain and quit due to the game being too easy? Who also paid money for this game. They deserve cookies too in the case of harder Overland difficulties. As I've said, this goes both ways.
I'd rather have more cookies for both parties. I don't care if people see it as "unfair” because it’s optional!
Re: Overland Content Feedback Thread

Yeah, no. Vets being unable to play it because it's not designed to include them is very different from someone who doesn't enjoy group play. Normal trials and dungeons are already in the game. And many casual users play and enjoy them. They aren't allergic. It's existence does not cause them harm. Some of them don't feel like eating the sugar cookie with blue frosting because they don't like blue. But it's still a cookie baked to the taste of sugar cookie enjoyers.
It's more like I hate peanut butter so I should be the only with a sugar cookie, if we're going to treat the other content as cookies on this plate.
Re: Update 48 Livestream live reaction
I’ve come to realize I don’t like watching their streams. I’m sure they are all very nice people but I just want the facts and the crate. Better to have just made a forum post with a couple of screenshots and a headline “On PTS Monday September 15th”
2500 players didn’t need to tune in to hear for the fourth time this year “we’ll have more for you on a future stream”.

Re: Any update on Romance Options/Food and Potion Hybridization? (NEW AMA answer inside 9/9/2025))!!
I just installed Khajiit Will Follow for my Skyrim, and its incredible the amount of effort that went into it. Full Questlines and thousands of lines of dialogue voiced, including Marriageable.
It'd be nice if that were possible in ESO.

Re: Any update on Romance Options/Food and Potion Hybridization? (NEW AMA answer inside 9/9/2025))!!
I honestly hope they don't tie any perks to romance, as it would make it feel a bit too transactional, maybe even borderline creepy. Or if they did, they should have an equal perk for maxed friendship as well, for players who don't want a romance.
But honestly, all I want from a romance system is some affectionate dialogue and maybe a hug.

Re: Overland Content Feedback Thread
I never said they would do what that addon does, but it did make me wonder. But even if it is just a debuff system, there have been posters against that, too. There is no general consensus on what is wanted or how it should be implemented.

ESO should have Twitch streams where Gina tries making a simple log cabin or wooden cottage from scratch.
It must have a roof and large windows we can see out through.
Then devs will understand why players need more than 700 item limit. It's because we have to mishmash walls, create our own open-air windows, and... roofs. Let's not get started on how painful it is to put together a roof without proper roof corner pieces, etc.
