Been in hospital for 8 months. see the balance has gone further south...

dsalter · June 2015

when i got out of hospital the other day i expected to have seen a growth of players when ESOTU became a thing, i also expected to see the game balance to have been improved (even a tiny bit) but unfortunatly i'v been dissapointed since now theres more of this animation cancelling stupidity dominating, more exploits and my biggest annoyance by far is how hard everyone is hitting now, especially the AoE spammers.

Zenimax why do you do such things to my spirit? i wish i could go back, the balance was off but atleast the vampire bat balls were more tolerable than this current mess, player numbers have dropped with it

Balance is one of the few things I don't think is bad right now. All classes are in a pretty good place. Nbs and sorcs are great dps, dks and Templars are hard to kill. If you build to your class strengths you can make a good character with any class, although not necessarily for any role.

If you havent played since patch 1.6, then you will prolly have 70 CP?

Good luck to find a good guild

Better start roleplaying

+ one that doesn't put him under pressure
+ that has a "discourse culture"
+ that does not stress him

@ TE
Welcome back from hospital, atm we are at a crotch for pvp, as the next patch will determine the future success of Eso, as no patch did before.. There are so many points about it, that I just mention one or two:
- CP gain for casual players and in pvp
- How they manage to discourage players from zerging (much less xp for groups over 20)
- balance... The whole Templar class
- Everything around Stamina builds, WWW-AE doing much more dmg, spell dmg equip vs weapon dmg, etc etc

I think that what they decide now will be crucial

Welcome back, 8 months is just "wow" so good luck with whatever you have going on.

I do Cyrodiil in the non-veteran campaign on weekends because I think that a lot of the problems that are bothering the PVP players are much less of an issue at this level. Now, I am not the 1vX melee PVP type, I am more of the "go stand in my red circle" type, so I do see the PVP portion of the game differently than others. In up-close and personal PVP, I am more of an AP donor. Lag is minimal, even when the enemy is storming the keep, and I never see zone wide lag.

I know there is some sort of lag because every so often someone does complain about it in Zone chat, but I have to think it is still better than the veteran campaigns.

I would suggest the non-veteran campaign to players that can do it.

Since 1.6 things have devolved significantly. The problems you list were mostly balanced in 1.5 however in 1.6 they made a lot of changes at once that caused all those issues to comeback in new and excessive ways.

Sorry you were in the hospital but glad you are out, many continuing well wishes!

Have to agree the PvP is just crap right now. Mostly it's actually PvE unless you can find yourself a decent small group but that is challenging for more casual players or folks who are "behind" in level/CPs/gear. Things are very tilted in favor of people who spend full days playing.

You have to pay for staying in a hospital? That sad, you dont have any health insurance/security there in the states?

thankfully i live in the uk

and thank you everyone for the good vibes

but the balance i'm refering to is nearly every class having a specific build that can pretty much detonate you into a popping bag of guts in around 2 seconds, back before the hospital even the pulsar spammers and NB nukes wouldnt kill you that fast when blocking. now i spend most of my time walking or killing PvE mobs due to standing no chance against the damage output in the way i used to play effectively.
admittedly it was no major build but it got me kills. gave me somewhat survivability and got me through Cyrodiil without popping constantly unless it was a pulsar monkey train. now i cant even 1v1 anymore due to stupidly high damage outputs now. really off putting

TTK is way too low right now, but if you build right you can also be unkillable. The extremes are too extreme, and it all comes down to the removal of stat caps.

Health bars ping pong like crazy from near dead to full health, back and forth, back and forth. Hopefully they can balance out some of this in the next couple patches, cause it's tough fight now.

welcome to an even, somewhat, open skill system game! This kind of system CAN'T be balanced.
