Would you want ZOS to bring Grey Host back before the Vengeance test ends ?

    I want to go back to GH, but I totally understand, agree and I'm grateful for ZOS trying to give us a better GH to pvp.

    So I will until they end.

    Lol hopefully this isn't a serious claim, especially from this user.

    What does that mean, especially from this user? If you have something you want to say, say it outright, don't hide. And take 5 seconds to look at the comment I'm responding to. But considering it's you, I shouldn't be surprised I guess.

    We both know the forums are heavily moderated and honestly even the original comment might need to be edited. So in the interest of following the rules, I'll just say I don't think any one person's opinion matters any more than others here :)

    Besides some really useful feedback, part of the self entitled "most dedicated pvp players" are some of the worst gaming community i ever seen, it is just crying on every opportunity. Hard to believe that it is an adult person

    You’re right we shouldn’t complain when the product we payed for gets ripped out of our hands.

    so i found one of the self entitled here, no surprise

    What is self entitled about wanting to play what was paid for? Imagine paying a mortgage on your house and the bank just saying "this week another family is moving in, you can stay in the shed out back for that week." You made an account just to troll these threads and that's the best you can do? If we paid for a product we are entitled to it.

    looks like analogy is your passion...

    So you are on my head and know that i made an account just to troll? You could invest this skill on other things than crying on forums or doing false symmetries.

    I make an statement on how PART of the pvp community is one of the worst i even seen some and people come like a hive mind, like it MUST be them for sure, like they must be the core of the universe

    Well, maybe people just have a different opinion than yours and is not just "troll people" (or any kind of conspiration) trying to undermine your precious PVP

    I have no problem with your comment about PART of the pvp community, my response was only to you telling someone they are "self entitled" to want the product they paid for. You even responded saying I used an analogy, but then acted as if I responded to a different comment.

    The pvp community is "self entitled" because unconcerned people like you come around our threads where we complain about an issue that keeps happening over and over and telling us to just accept it, beliteling our feelings about this recurring problem we have to face every now and then, because you are not impacted. Instead of being such a negative force in the forums you can just pass by and not let your fingers run on the keyboard senlessly.

    In light of recent events and the fact that customer confidence is at what I believe to be an all-time low, was now really the right time to remove a well-established game mode like Grey Host and replace it with a live-server test?

    Regardless of the purpose of the test, or whether someone supports Vengeance or opposes it, that's not the point. No matter who approved this project or when it was given the green light, you would think that someone on the development team would have recognized the current state of the community and either canceled the test or, at the very least, postponed it.

    To me, this reflects a level of disconnect from the player base that has become increasingly difficult to ignore. It also gives the impression that player concerns are being dismissed, and unfortunately, that has seemed to be the pattern.

    It's genuinely sad because so many people love ESO and continue to support the game with their time, money, and passion. Yet, time and again, many of us are left feeling as though that loyalty is neither valued nor returned.

    Of course they can, but as adults, is not on "what" is more on "how", i can quote here a lot of really helpful comments, is what i called on my original comment as really useful feedback.

    I made a recent feedback on how on a post here ZOS need to give priority to class refreshes and some serious bug fixes, very different than "you are breaking MY game, you own me, the world will colapse and we are all doomed" comments that i have seen here since i started to look on the forums, these things, at least to me, sounds spoiled and very unhelpful, the self entitlement is not just about being a customer is about thinking that you are part of some genious group that knows better than everyone what is the best course for action for that matter (PVP on our case)

    A lot of people do not even respond the polls or simply do not participate on forums (was my case for a long time) not because they do not care but because they are tired of behaviors like that, this can lead to we believe that is the majority of people thinks on an certain way when the reality is that is just the more "vocal" and organized group that have the patience to participate

    Just go check it out and have some fun participating in the large-scale PvP fights. Or not, if you're too stubborn to stop hating on Vengeance for even a single week. But if you think that a show of hands will somehow make ZOS reopen Gray Host before this weeklong test is up, I think you're going to be very disappointed.

    Without dragging previous comments into this, I am so LOL'ing over the various reaction to my "this is not a poll" comment. Kudos to at least one commenter who essentially said "it's a petition," to which I respond, "fair enough and thank you for responding to what I actually said." I don't expect that it will change anything in the present aside from giving people a(nother) place to vent their dislike of Vengeance, but it might affect something in the future.
    I'm fresh out of outrage, but I could muster up some amused annoyance if required.

    Yeah but you are boiling it down to one comment the person made when they have made plenty, as well as several other people on the last 5+ threads that have been opened in the last week because of the issue of GH being closed yet again, whre people have given suggestions. I have also suggested plenty of things, each comment made by someone isn't going to be signed off with all their proposed fixes at the end of it.

    I have no doubt that had some good feedbacks on other times, i have seen some. At the same time, a lot of nonsense too (not you specificaly) not one or twice i've seen people ignoring ZOS takes on the matter (heal stackin for example) just to persist on their own (wrong imo) position.

    Other thing that is part of what i said, go to the posts and see the horror show of some self entitled specialists saying "get out of here pve/housing player", i know that nobody control others behaviors or intentions, but seeing nobody of the PVP community repreending such people really is not a good "marketing"

    I hope i made myself understandeable

    Every single time I come back to ESO they have this stupid vengeance test and I end up uninstalling the game. Played the vengeance mode a few times and I hate it.

    It’s a watered down version of PvP. If this is the direction of PvP in this game going forward please tell us so we can move on to another game and not ever think about coming back to that booty game mode

    Seriously, this is my and my friends' situation, we just want to play the pvp we spent so much time learning but instead are met with a royal "F you" by ZOS shoving yet again another "test" for now a year straight. How many more tests, and seriously how useful will this be seeing ZOS' dev team is struggling with releasing their promised updates. Can this company please stop mocking our intelligence and just let us play the game for however short it will last.

    Between nerfing the one mythic that allowed many classes to be viable, letting DKs run rampant on every aspect of pvp, the layoffs and the unpromising short future of the game, and now shoving this campaign the vast majority just absolutely abhore, it really takes some skill to be this oblivious to how their players feel.

    Agreed, making Shattered Paths unusable in PvP wasn't necessary.

    It was overpowered before U50, that part is fair. But the werewolf rework and class masteries pushed everyone into max health builds, and once people got that tanky, pulse gankers couldn't insta kill anyway. In that meta the mythic wasn't the problem, it was one of the few things keeping builds outside of DK and werewolf competitive. Nerfing it this hard just narrows what is actually viable.

    I’m not grateful or understanding of nothin. I’ll be “grateful” when something is delivered from these tests for Greyhost specifically, not a “better” Greyhost, and when I’m compensated for my lost time and money on the game due to these tests.

    This weird parasocial stockholm syndrom that pvp players developped should be a case study lmfao. We've had "tests" for a year straight and absolutely NOTHING changed in Grey Host in terms of lag, it's doing absolutely nothin and they dropped their mask when theiy reveaed that some form of vengeance is there to stay. This is what pvp is heading to, a dumbed down numbers game where everything is leveled down.

    I would agree with you if this were a one-off. The problem is that it has been running for over a year now, with the home campaigns closing for one to two weeks each time and no indication of when that stops.

    The Blackreach situation is also what sticks with me. Not long ago we had to push to get it reopened because Gray Host queues were sitting at 100+ and Vengeance was on one bar.

    Why are you, ZOS, advertising other PVP games? Because that's where we go every time you make this mode mandatory.
    You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.
