Question.
Is not naming and shaming supposed to be prohibited?
Why can you do it without closing the thread?
Lol you ask why there's salt in this thread? I'll break it down for you
1) you're showing off your e-pen on a forum; a place where people come to discuss bugs, balance, builds, and general questions. Rarely ever do you get someone in here bragging about a leaderboard score unless they are one of you clowns in Hodor who think the forum community care. In essence, you're pitching to the wrong audience. Go post your achievement on youtube or something where people might care.
2) you're boasting about an achievement to an audience filled mostly of casual players, in a game with literally no competitive scene or future, about a dungeon which you had a month at least to master before everyone else.
That's me done.

You’re confusing saltiness with a general disinterest in blowharding. Aggrandize yourself and your guild to, you know, people who will better validate your accomplishments—like your guildmates, teammates or people close to you. Expecting a mob of complete strangers to care about something that you’ve practiced on the PTS for weeks upon weeks isn’t fair to yourself or others. It’s not sincere or genuine. It’s literally fishing for attention. And do be careful: you rarely get the attention you want when crying for it online.
Do Hodor post their learning runs? Or just the ‘flawless’ stuff? Because the former might generate them more goodwill than the latter. Just a suggestion.
I don't mean to start a bonfire here or any means, but who are you to tell me why I can't share my achievements? People keep coming up to me giving me *** for not sharing our addons, giving me *** for not sharing our tactics, and giving me *** for not sharing my builds anymore. If you don't care, why do you even open this thread? There's no reason to drag other people down just because you're not having a good day. Spread positivity and joy, not hate and negativity.
Never said you couldn’t share your ‘achievements’ (lol, a med school degree is an achievement, not this imo), though it’s rather presumptuous of you to assume that people will care, no? Nothing negative or hateful about indifference and if you think there is, then you’ve been coddled most of your life.
I am free to open any thread I want that I think warrants discussion, criticism, debate. Just as you’re free to start them, inviting the same. You posted this because you wanted public accolades, now you’re trying to control the type of feedback, tone-policing (as if people aren’t allowed to criticize or question your supreme authority) and attention you’re receiving. You don’t get to do that. You put something out in the world and people respond to it, good or bad. That’s just life, fellah.
Don't get me wrong, I don't get bothered by the negative feedback. Im just curious as to why people come to this thread, just to belittle our achievement, and insult us. I get that people can be ***, thats life. I just don't understand why you have to be one. But you're completely right, you're allowed to post whatever you want on this thread, as long as it's within the forum rules. At the end of the day, I think you have to remember this is a game, we play this for fun. I don't mean to be offensive, but it seems like you're taking it a little bit too serious.
Grats on your high score, really well done, but your responses here kind of belittle yourself.
@Peekachu99's responses, while probably not the kind you were looking for, were worded well, and brought their point across in a civilized manner (also judging on the amount of "agrees" they got, they aren't alone in their view). You could have ignored these responses labeling them as one of your "haters" (which is a little self-aggrandizing in its own way really), but instead you responded with ad hominem and just all around bad form.
You can't say "I don't mean to be offensive" and call someone a "***" (whichever swear word that was meant to be) in the same paragraph. "I don't mean to be offensive" isn't a disclaimer that suddenly enables you to be outright offensive and not suffer the consequences.
I don't have a bone to pick with you or Hodor (I've only heard of your guild by name and that's it) but just wanted to point out that moving forward, if negative responses (and sentiments) isn't what you want, not posting straight up insults and calling people asinine names who have merely disagreed with you in a civilized manner would be a step in the right direction.
Either way, grats again.
Haha. Yeah, anytime someone starts off with a, “I’m not trying to be rude...”, you can guarantee the next thing that comes out of their mouth will be derogatory. I still stand behind my initial assertion that if Hodor posted more of their foibles and less of their “glory moments” people would be far more receptive to their posts. But when all you post is “we’re the best” vids, it naturally invites scepticism and a measure of critical examination. The reactionary and passive aggressive tone Love Wizard seems to take when his vids are subjected to scrutiny does him no favours, too.
Right, I don't usually think giving people like you attention is a good idea, but for once I will give you the benefit of the doubt.
Lets start of with Alcast, hes been in Hodor for more than four years, and has been creating builds, tutorials for everything ESO related since, forever. https://alcasthq.com/
Then we have myself, I haven't done that much youtube stuff, but I did write two big guides back in the day, and spent countless of hours helping people out to become better at the class they love so much.
https://tamrielfoundry.com/articles/pvewhips-n-chains-the-naughty-version-of-magicka/
https://tamrielfoundry.com/articles/pve-magicka-dps-by-iwm/
Then we have Liko, the guy who sits on PTS day and night to test things, and to give people a strong idea in terms of how minmax balance will be the next upcoming patch.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuLGCNYH1t5DyQQ5tfU4Hdw
Andy.s also released a blackrose prison addon, to help people. https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info2181-BlackrosePrisonHelper.html
The list goes on, and on, and on. More or less everyone who is in the guild at todays date has been contributing in some shape, way or form. Whetever it be to create content for people who want a pointer, whetever it might to display how to play a bossfight, whetever it be to spend countless of hours sitting and responding to questions from people, or helping out less experienced guilds in their raids. So if I myself want to make a forum thread, about something that I do find worthy of being called an achievement then I will. But I really wish some people in this thread could stop using me and my guildmates as scapegoats, just because Zenimax doesn't balance the game you want them to when we have done so much for the community.DivineFirstYOLO wrote: »Shokasegambit1 wrote: »Esports here we come 😂😂😂😂😂
Lmfao they'd get eaten alive on any other game that has competitive esports.
Let us not forget, they specialise in fighting opponents without a human mind. We never see any "world's first" PVP achievements now do we
There will probably not ever be a "world's first" in PvP because ZOS doesn't care about PvP.
@Love Wizard I hope you guys are not sad because of all the hate in this thread. The crybabies in here are not upset because of your #1 score, they are upset because they are not able to clear the content on their own ;-)
Keep going !
I know, it doesn't affect me but I know some of my guildmates does feel down when they read comments like these. We will keep going as we've always done, but I wish people could stop using us as scapegoats for their issues with the balancing issues this game has.
What are the prizes for this? Last time you had pictures of the skin reward.
Do you ever take Wardens on these record breaking runs? I feel like looking at raid and arena completions might give an insight into how effective a class is perceived to be.
I didn’t realize you used custom addons. That’s new information.
I hope you all had fun though!
Lol you ask why there's salt in this thread? I'll break it down for you
1) you're showing off your e-pen on a forum; a place where people come to discuss bugs, balance, builds, and general questions.

Before everyone else? You do realize the PTS is open-access, yes?

It's not something that can be just done in a day, or in a weekend, no matter how good someone is. .

Everyone had access to Murkmire on PTS at the same time.

No its done over the PTS,over 5 all the practice so when it does go live they complete the content within the hour and think its some sort of bragging right, it's not.
I'm curious what amount of time it took your team to complete it and how many wipes? I was watching (not without some satisfaction) Alcast dying a lot there from one-shot mechanics, but he tried it with 16k hp sorc.Love Wizard wrote: »Managed to slide in a pretty good run today, to secure the worlds first 100k score in blackrose prison!

This is not a fair argument. AFAIK console players don't have murkmire on live server yet. So they have more serious reasons why whey can't have an achievement like this.

Fair or Unfair, it's a fact.
And which is why the world first on console wont be achieved in 1 hour of the dlc dropping.

You're missing the point. I don't mind where and when they were practicing. The thing is, there are plenty of players out there using Alcast builds, managing to pull decent dps on a dummy. Yet, even by following their guides and tutorial videos, not many can pull their vAS+2 or vCR+3 high scores. They have all the dps, they have the guides, they have all the addons now.
There's more teamwork in it than you are willing to acknowledge.

The PTS is open access though. Literally everyone on PC can download it (and console users dont count for this race because they have their own "world first" race generally)

Well ive just dont a quick search based on what you have said, and apart from the odd, what i presume is light hearted posts on things like, worlds first nirnhoned broom and bucket etc, 95% of all worlds first threads, with a quick scan are posted by Hodor.
If that's not a serious case of *** stroking threads, i dont know what is.
