Re: Extremely Low Midyear Mayhem Turnout, Why?
unfortunately i can't use the terriers in cyrodiil, otherwise i would destroy the map with my army of terriers. seriously the bones of the dogs are just annoying now and should be replaced or abolished urgently.
I would like the terrier bones to become thrown projectiles you can equip in your weapon slot as a stack and lob at enemies which explode on contact in PVP zones.

Re: Extremely Low Midyear Mayhem Turnout, Why?
PvP is the first mode that got killed with subclassing in my opinion.
Subclasses brought an improvement of around 60% in dps/healing/tanking and changed group mechanics quite drastically in PvE. Needles to say, in PvP you have the same increase in general power, meaning that even the lowest organised group (not necessarily a ball group, just people who know how to make builds work together) can decimate hundreds of casual PvPers.
Bear in mind, this power increase came at basically the SAME skill, rotations are very similar to pure class ones, what changed is just the build knowledge. The skill gap hasn't changed and yet nukers nuke much more.
Casual PvP has always been difficult but now it's straight away impossible, you just explode. And it's cool, I like that PvP requires organization, except that's what brought everybody away from the PvP scene. You can PvP ONLY in an organized way now.
In PvE you still have a huge disparity, but if you're a casual you just sit there in a party waiting for the arcanist to blow the entire dungeon in front of you, or worst case you'll be helped by those "aliens" and go through.
PvP doesn't have time for that, if you have casuals in your group and you attempt to write them how to get through it you've lost.
Think about this, before subclassing dps in PvP was a good 20% lower, meaning that even with huge skill gap, you still could survive a hit or two, and you needed to be completely unprepared to just die that quickly. Now you don't even have time to blink, and if you can and reply, you'll find out that the new subclass combination brought another layer of immortality on that player.
They have created the ultimate player builds, which is the coolest thing ever for PvE but a nightmare in PvP.
Guess what?
They did the pathetic Vengeance campaign, which actually worked.
And why did it work?
Because it ignored everything they have done until now...that's irony.

Re: Is it time to fix the Volenfell dungeon quest?
I was able to get the quest done, though I had to make a pit stop to recruit Isobel as I have her set up as a tank. Thank you though!

The dungeons on TESO have therefore become fast food... what if, a solo dungeon?
I wanted to return to teso but when I see now how one must travel through a dungeon it’s incredibly indigestible...
I don’t understand this game, we sometimes have quite big dungeons, but we don’t even have time to explore or even time to open a chest, because the rusher runs towards the boss and we are wildly TP at the boss without having had time to open the chest, how can the developers... they propose such an unpleasant way of playing?
Even at the end of the dungeon there is a timer to make us eject, in that case why have such large dungeons even at the end of the race, we are not even given time to search or at least look for the chests?
In this case, I would still prefer to have the opportunity to do the dungeon solo if we can’t even attend it with dignity as a group!
The idea here would be to have a possibility to be able to play solo in dungeons, for example currently dungeons give 1 loot to each boss, this could now be the solo dungeon system, with a certain balancing to be done so that the solo dungeon content is correct to play in solo.
Following this to avoid abandoning the group dungeon content, from now on, the bosses of the entire dungeon could drop more than one loot, maybe 2 or 3 with the current method, or, still with this idea, they could drop 2 or 3 loots, either in the current dungeon loot system, either in a selection menu and then after selecting the chosen loot, display the loot as usual.
Knowing that sometimes certain dungeons are complicated to launch or depending on certain times played becomes complicated, I think this could be a very good thing for everyone or everyone could play as they wish.

Re: Magsorc solo survivability in bigger fights destroyed
It is because everyone has access to unavoidable cc with the best burst and damage passives via subclassing.
Everyone can do a curse + streak style combo now, without really being a sorc.
Instead of Curse you can use deep fissure or blastbones to line up a timed burst, and get better passives at the same time.
Then use streak or spear for unavoidable/unblockable cc.
Finish things off with merciless resolve with multiple fires, just in case you miss once or twice...
At this point ult is just to put more pressure, because the skills are better than the ulti
The PvP brawling meta has not changed, just became more volatile with more power.
You gotta know what to expect, and mitigate these combos to survive, although a well placed combo is designed to be unavoidable now to some extend. So slightly high resistances and HP to allow you to break free is probably needed. Also it is more about blocking than shielding nowadays.
Funny how the king of burst was replaced overnight.
If there was ever a time where new players get stomped, or those with less optimal builds and pure classes, it is now.
Welcome to Mayhem, hope you are having fun.
