Re: Should there be a PvE only instance of Imperial City?

Maybe we should have a non PVE dungeon, no mobs, so I can walk through and just get my loot drop

Re: Congrats to DC for Winning Gray Host!

Congrats to DC for winning the last competitive, Midyear Mayhem Gray Host campaign. With certain AD nightcapper leads RMTing EP leads for an official Team Orange, only to fall so short. Even with the propaganda from AD nightcappers trying to claim others are zerging and pvdooring, falling flat like their bodies when they have an even fight. DC persevered and 1v2d Team Orange when factions had equal pops. Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In Our Lane. Focused. Flourishing. Also, thank you AD for fielding the weakest Emp in the quantum history of ESO. We thank you, and to reciprocate, DC will only field the Junior Junior Varsity DC next campaign. We can't name names on forums, but it's the DC ball that got farmed at Bleaks last night by EP pugs; must be chalked up to being legends in their own mind. AD should be able to nightcap a win against the Junior Junior Varsity squad, don't worry. Enjoy the pity.

Re: This game has one of the worst rng I ever experienced

A better example would be lead drops. If you don't own a certain zone or expansion, the leads for that zone drop from the sky like raindrops in a thunderstorm. But as soon as you buy it the leads become very hard to get.

Re: Team Play

Welcome to PVP played by PVE players. We're talking about an audience that has no tolerance for failure or dying at any level.

IMO even most players in this game who identify as PVP mains wouldn't be able to tolerate an actually competitive PVP environment. Most PVP mains are thinly disguised PVE players who take pleasure in farming ESO ultracasuals incentivized to go into PVP areas for rewards with no desire for actual competition.

Why is this so? First ask yourself why a true PVP enthusiast would play ESO as it has been for at least 6-8 years?

I'm afraid there has been a misunderstanding. It actually stands for Ridonculous Number Generation.

Re: Extremely Low Midyear Mayhem Turnout, Why?

Rewards are obsolete. All players are fed up with the same old Style Pages that are endlessly created for each event: enough! Give more useful, interesting rewards, less self-serving collecting, and more character growth.

Its telling how bad pvp is in this game when you have 3 bars and players are actively trying to avoid pvp in a zone where pvp happens during a PVP focused event. Sad that PVP is in such a bad state that players don't want to interact with it.

Yeah...
Well, to be fair, the power gap between casuals and sweats is extremely high now. Regular players have no chance of hurting organized groups, even if they outnumber their opponents.
It also doesn't help that organized groups do not seem to fight each other anymore? Idk, I don't really pvp outside of the events anymore, but whenever I saw ball groups of different alliances, they just farmed casuals without attacking each other.
All of that creates an atmosphere that unfortunately makes pvp unappealing not just to casuals, but to most players. You can't really get into pvp anymore, unless your friends are pvpers and are willing to teach you.
This is really sad, I think that ESO had a lot of potential as a pvp mmo.

Koshka is right.

During this event I am a bit more active in PvP and I am seeing it - as always in PvP.

2-3 players nuking 12, 18 or even 24 players over and over again. Those other players trying - even in organized groups - to kill those 2-3 players without success. With such a power gap there is absolutely no fun what so ever for casuals to join PvP. Its more like the fun is 1000% taken out of it !
The same thing with those small ball-groups rushing through keep fights and killing everything in their way, but not being killed even if outnumbered 1 to 5 and spammed with dozen of sieg weapons.
Or those 2-4 players playing the *Resource-Tower-Troll-Game*. Same thing.

As long as there are those huge gaps and no way to compensate them, there won't be many new PvP'ers.

It depends upon your attitude to encountering that power gap.

You could be sad or salty about it or you could be inspired to get on that level and become that skilled yourself. This comes down to one's individual constitution.

Some of my earliest posts on this forum were literally being a salty zergling complaining about not being able to kill skilled 1vX'ers in towers. Rather then being permanently turned-off from PvP because I couldn't get the easy win, however, I took is as a challenge to improve as a player and have been a PvP main player ever since.

Most Ls in PvP genuinely are from being outplayed or outsmarted. It is only the level of one's ego that influences how much one tries to avoid that fact and blame something else.

Re: DPS makeup of vKA HM runs on ESOlogs, Updates 43-46

The thing to understand about Arc is that it's a little more than a class because of Fatecarver.

Fatecarver isn't only an ability, it is a distinct play style. IMO, it was engineered to be such, positioned between heavy attack and light attack weaving play styles.

This play style is not going anywhere. It's too popular. And I don't think it's necessary in the era of subclassing.

I'm OK with a DD bias towards Arc. Why? Because the play style is cemented, the only alternative would appear to give every class a homogenized Fatecarver-like play style which I would hate because it would mean sacrificing other parts of the game.

And the thing is, Arc isn't necessary for DDs. There are other strong builds out there. I've seen strong non-Arc builds with Jabs and Surprise attack as the spammable, for example.

Here's a video of an off-meta build that immediately comes to mind:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGDa78_EM0E

Just because MOST players follow the meta doesn't mean they have to. And there ALWAYS be a meta that favors certain classes and abilities. Let's not push ZOS down the path of homogenization again. Diversity is fun for those who enjoy it.

I'm familiar with that build, I based my parse DK's build off of it, and I bring him to as many trials as I can. I don't play on-meta unless requested by my raid lead. The problem is not that there *is* a meta, but that the meta is far superior to other builds in most practical use cases. I do NOT want every class to have fatecarver or some other AOE channeled beam, I want other classes to have access to similarly strong AOE cleave (which *is* possible without a fatecarver-like playstyle). I do NOT care that there is a meta, I care that off-meta builds are so much less viable. I like my arcanist dps, but every dps being forced into either using a beam-based playstyle or taking a HUGE hit to efficacy in most situations is unacceptable to me. If you think making non-fatecarver builds more viable will result in more homogenization, I think we must have very different definitions of that word.
