Hopefully once they figure it out they'll let us know. We shall see.

They already did. They told us at around the beginning of the year how ESO is changing. They ended the chapter model. We can see the result in the game right now.

I keep repeating myself because I'm amazed that people can't see what's right in front of them. They didn't just change the name of the annual update for no reason. ESO has entered a new phase.

It's an 11 year old game, so this kind of thing is to be expected.

.....

It seems to me that ZOS has been bending over backwards for years listening to the playerbase and trying to give the people some workable version of what have they been asking for.

Are you being serious?

Ahem.....U35, jabs animation and such....and where is the limiting of shield and heal stacking in Cyrodiil?

Disclaimer: I am not advocating removing PvP from Imperial City, only that players have the option to go into a PvE only instance.

Every time Whitestrakes Mayhem appears, you have a significant portion of the playerbase who has no interest in PvP entering Imperial City. Many of these players get killed on quest points and never come back again.
Given that this zone is rich in PvE content and quests, would it be worth giving PvErs their own instance of IC? Future updates could then really expand on this zone with more quests and encounters.
(This is going to be particularly important with Subclassing which will create a much bigger gap between experienced and new PvPers).

Should there be a PvP version of every PvE zone?

update 46 which released in June. it introduced West Solstice and Subclassing.

In 11 years I have yet to see ONE of these.

• Did your ability to play and/or complete certain types of game content improve after the launch of Update 46?

As a veteran PVP player, I don't really feel like this applies in the way it was intended by the person who wrote the question. It has been nearly a decade since I "struggled to compete/complete" in PVP. But What this update did do was introduce enough damage power creep that you're now able to kill most players in PVP - this has been extremely enjoyable. For years now since hybridization, it has been simply too easy for people to survive. Too much healing/mitigation, too much sustain, not enough damage. This update allowing you to sacrifice so much of your sustain/healing power for damage by doing things like running 2-3x damage oriented skill lines has somewhat leveled the playing field between healing/damage - not entirely though. There is still a slight edge in survivability for individuals who build that way, and a massive imbalance towards survivability for large groups who are properly comped.

• If so, prior to the launch of Update 46, what was your character build?

Just the standard PVP builds that most players run.

• What did you change to your character build when Update 46 launched that allowed you to play or complete content that you had trouble with before?

On most of my classes, I am running 2-3 "damage" skill lines that either have good damage oriented passives or good damage skills. Most of the time this results in a loss of sustain and healing, sometimes mitigation as well - but for a significant boost in damage that has been very welcome.

• What game content was it?

PVP.

• General Feedback

Please, do not wait to start buffing all of the underutilized skills - especially damage oriented ones. Give weak spammables tooltip buffs or additional effects. Remove useless passives like health recovery or tiny cost reductions and replace them with more useful things. Make class related passives less conditional and more applicable (things like necro passives that require consuming corpses or apply to skills in other lines, arcanist passives that require consuming crux).

Avoid nerfing things unless they are truly outliers - like restoring light. The current top damage lines represent a good standard to start trying to raise other lines up to. Restoring light represents a bar for defensive lines that is just slightly too high, and should be lowered marginally to a more suitable power level which other defensive lines could then be brought up to.

If you can do these things successfully, you will create a very diverse PVP environment with plenty of viable options compared to the relatively pigeon holed one we have now, where the meta options are a little too defined. You want to get to this by buffing in most cases, so that things feel good to use rather than nerfing things to feel watered down and weak.
