Pretty quiet, as is Gray Host, most likely due to the IC event. Performance on the 2 servers is similar.

Ravenwatch now is a relatively safe environment to try out new classes and skills, though obviously not every build can be put to the test there. Damage is a lot lower so I've found it useful to practice defensive rotations and such. In away it has sort of taken over the function of the U50 server before that became overrun with cheese builds and died an inglorious death. I wish ZOS would go more out of their way to promote this as the server for newer or returning players, but as it stands there's no indication this is even a no-proc server when you look at it in the server list. I feel like it'd be a good opportunity to draw in new players.

One thing I will say is that no-proc also makes it clear why some degree of 'zerg control' is needed, be it through bombs or other set-ups. From the 2-3 days I've played there since the update, raw numbers appeared the decisive factor in how battles would turn out. This is a bit of an issue when the faction numbers on PC/EU are so imbalanced that as an AD all you can do is try to kite the 20 DC pug long enough before they zerg you down and you get teabagged by the guy who barely got a hit in. Gets old fast.

As a solo/duo player, incoming damage is low. It got boring after a couple of days. Switched to CP PvP for the first time and I find myself enjoying (as I never liked CP1.0). Will likely not play no-CP again.
