PvP? Isn't that the section of the forums where everybody just complains about our fine product?

I don't think there is any need to explain why I chose this answer...

TheBucket

Yes, they care very much and are very attentive to what we say!

I wish some people who make polls like this have worked even an hour in the gaming business or programmed one line of code .

Console release is like releasing a whole other game. If you are bored... Leave and come back

Because they have been so hard at work to fix glaring issues in the past? 0 cost batswarm anyone, something that was told them that couldn't be released like it was? They sure cared a lot when releasing the game the first time and it didn't get better so far.

Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if zos doesn't know this is how the pvp community feels.

I also wouldn't be surprised if this poll gets deleted before the morning.

team A:

there's a performance problem with an ability! By the way, don't force any more ability/buff value tweeks on us!

team B:

it's only really causing trouble in your tightly packed environment and we're working on console/crown bugs, you deal with it by spreading the players out. Performance doesn't pay the bills.

You write as if ZoS showed a genuine interest to develop PvP before.

Forestd16b14_ESO

You do know there is alot more to fixing and running a MMO game right? Ontop of that the console release is a few weeks away even less than that so yes they seem little away but that's cause they are tying to make sure console launch has a smooth start then they will start to work on every thing they even said during the last ESO live updates and patches will be on PC first and PC is the only one with a PTS. So please enough with the raging and the crying about dieing from a mechanic abusing players *** are running rampant when console is launched ZoS will be coming on and be fixing things sending those players back to the caves from once they dwelled.

We can hope, but I think the PC server code is broken beyond repair. They made some pretty naïve design choices before launch and had no way of keeping bots and cheaters out. To fix that, they resorted to overkill, wholesale countermeasures by moving a lot of computations from the client to the server, bogging down the server and causing it to drop to its knees or even fall flat on its face during large PvP fights.

They could possibly set this straight by implementing more focused and situational countermeasures applied as needed instead of checking everything everywhere all the time, but that's another major rewrite of the server code, and it's not very likely to happen. There probably aren't enough PC players left to make it worth their effort, and it would be very hard to win previous players back after such a terrible first year even if they somehow managed to make everything work as advertised.

I consider the PvP part of the game dead on the PC platform. If I'm wrong, I will be pleasantly surprised.

Not really, their communication is slightly lacking, but they are doing a good job.

Come on wheeler tried really hard i think, they just don't have the engineers they need to fix this. I don't really blame zos I blame the parent company's directors and investors. I at least give them a not really

If you watched Wheeler on ESO Live you would know he doesn't have a bloody clue.

No @Lava_Croft , it's the part of the forums where players blame each other for creating the lag to exploit the game, ignoring that ZOS even exists and could work on fixing it.

ESO has had MANY new additions to PVP since the release

New Siege weaponry!
Class - Gameplay balancing!

In the coming months I hear they plan to expand upon the ESO PVP experience by adding forward camps and mercenary contracts!

We know you love PVP WE ALSO KNOW YOU LOVE PVE SO WE PUT PVE IN YOUR PVP WITH THE IMPERIAL CITY!?!?!?

I'm still wondering why it was so necessary to release this game on console. I guess if the company is going under and the money is needed.. But otherwise, playing this game with no addons would be next to impossible for me. Also controller.

It almost seems like ZOS is oblivious. I think most polls are completely useless such as "which class is most powerful", because who cares. But a poll like this may open their eyes a little... But I know.. Wishful thinking.

Doubt they'll listen. We need a strong, competent and smart PVP lead. Then we can take ESO in PVP to the level it should be at.

That game sounds like a lot of fun.....

I wonder if this one will ever get to be like that one. I would definitely play that one again. This one.... Not so much.

Ley

This poll is way too biased for my liking.

To think that they don't care about their game is just silly, I accept that pvp matters are infinitely more complicated that pve matters, so we don't get to see as much progress in pvp as we'd like.

Why Put this poll in "PvP combat and Skills?" Preach to the choir much?

No one from ZOS even ventures into the pvp sections unless someone reports something. That's part of the problem.

Would be much more interesting to see the result in the General Section.

Don't care about PC period lol...

Stikato

No. That should be obvious by now.

kevlarto_ESO

Yes, while they do not communicate with us much, they still fix important issues in a timely manner!

No new PvP content since launch, bugs still present that were in closed beta, major class balance issues, 999+ ( people who play a lot of PvP will know what I mean by 999+) ... Advertise the game as hundreds of people on screen in epic battles, then when we do we are told to spread out across the map to prevent lag and fps drops.

Even though PvP is all I play, it's without a doubt an epic fail.

Anyone wonder why all PvE grind spots were nerfed into oblivion, yet there's spots on PvP that allows people to gain a cp every 15 mins is left? Think about it, they're leaving it on purpose as it's taking big groups of players away from keeps and zerg fests..Separating players just like they want.

There are so many issues with PvP and when asking what's happening, we either get no response at all or "at present our focus is on console" in other words "a big [snip] you to people who have been paying and playing everyday for the past year"
