What ZOS needs to do is introduce Undaunted Basic Training to explain what a taunt is, the value of orbs, don't stand in red, etc..

How would the average player ever learn these things?

It could come in the form of instances. Maybe a series of four, starting with normal base game, normal dlc, vet normal and then vet dlc.

It would have to be WAY better than that brutally bad, nearly irrelevant tutorial they added to the intro quest.

They should need to pass basic tests to become accredited in each role before they can queue into vet dlc dungeons with them.

In the end, for me, this thread is a good reminder that often, the outcome of a ban wave is that a part of the banned players have done something against game policy. In that case, it was the use of an addon that automates gameplay. So yes, there were some false bans, but they are by now getting corrected.

It shows once more that ban wave rarely happens for nothing.

I think two things. First, false suspensions and bans should never happen. Second, ban waves rarely happen. Period.

I do not think this is possible without AI. I think AI would lower the false positive rate significantly.

After thinking on this for a while... it could amplify it. At our current state of consumable technology, AI is just a tool. The AI will just flag what it has been trained to flag.

I think that the reason that bans and suspensions happen, and get reversed, is that the criteria that is used to detect the infraction is larger than it should be. AI isn't going to narrow that down. If anything, my concern is that it would be able to find more players that fit into the criteria and create more false suspensions and bans.

As implemented by the popular AI companies, AI is neither artificial nor intelligent. The term is opposite of what it actually is.

Is this door bugged? The upper portion is blacked out, no light can go through it and it's weirdly out of place when placed. Can someone tag a dev and ask of its intended. Thanks

In my opinion, it isn't wise to post a link to a survey in a place where people who didn't actually participate in something and who are hostile toward that something can flood the survey with negative responses based solely on their hostility and not on any valid experiences during active participation. It doesn't matter whether we're talking about Vengeance or anything else, such as a movie. Flooding a survey about anything with negative reviews, and publicizing a survey link to solicit others with like-minded hostility about something to flood the survey with fake negative criticism, interferes with the process of collecting genuine feedback from active participants.

Don't worry, the link I got in my mail has a different ID at the back. These feedback systems normally filter out when there are more answers with the same ID to keep the results data from getting diluted.

But agree. This post was made only because a handful of people are scared that 85 percent of people say that had fun, like the previous campaign.

I wouldn't worry much. We forum people are only a tiny tiny fraction of the actual player base so I have confidence the actual telemetry and feedback data will show what the general population likes and doesn't like. Those few who are heavily campaigning against things like Vengeance only make a tiny fraction of the numbers.

But that brings up another problem: if a permanent Vengeance was added, then that would spread out the playerbase even more than it already is, and there isn't a single person who thinks that the current PvP playerbase is in a healthy state.

So you think adding something that people potentially like more is a bad thing because it is better to keep them hostage in the standard mode because that benefits you more...

Just to be clear: I love Vengeance (and don't like and wont play regular PvP), but I would never say in my feedback that 'regular PvP' should be replaced by it. I just want an extra playlist for all those who love this new fresh balanced approach. So both types of players get what they want. Trying to 'cancel' Vengeance with threads like these is very selfish, you should be campaigning for additional choice in PvP. If more people engage in/start playing PvP, it is good for everyone in the long run.

There's not much ZOS could add to make PvP more enticing either

They apparently do..... with Vengeance. All the socials, Reddit posts, zone chat all were talking about it during the test with lots of positive vibes and busy campaigns. Hence this thread...

Pretty sure Catzputin is a cat pun on Rasputin.

I like it when it's quiet, I don't feel like I'm having to compete with other players while questing. It's kind of annoying to be doing a quest when loads of other people are doing it at the same time, or you go somewhere and there's nothing to fight because everything is already dead - or worse, someone is sitting on a location farming XP etc. Quiet is good in my book.

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read on this forum.
to be shorter, "the fewer people in an MMO game, the better"
What's wrong with you?

Yea almost no one PvPs at this point. On top of that, many of the people in Cyrodiil aren't even interested in PvP. A lot of them just want transmute crystals or they're more interested in siege than they are fighting other players. The number of people across all servers who still sweat PvP regularly is probably a low 2 digit number.

Subclassing will likely only worsen things in the future. The only somewhat positive thing I've seen about subclassing in PvP is that damage is higher this patch. I think what's really going on is that people with optimized subclass combinations are going against more casual players with weak subclass combinations. As a result, the difference in power between them is extreme because it's such an unbalanced system. So the newer or more casual players are dying more easily than ever due to the power gap. It might be fun for the more experienced players, but it's just going to lead to horrible entry rates and retention for everyone else.

Thanks for the ping, @WildRaptorX. And sorry for the delay. We jumped right into PTS and testing for U45 after the holiday and this slipped my mind. So appreciate the ping.

Battlemaster tokens are dropping as intended, but will be getting an update to more easily source them. Like was outlined earlier Battlemaster tokens do come from a daily quest. It looks like currently, they are only sourced from the daily quests "win a battleground match". However we are adjusting this in U45 so that the tokens are sourced from more daily quests rather than a specific one. So that should roll out next month. Hopefully that answers the question originally posed.
