    Thanks, Maitsukas! We can confirm this was not intended and we will be turning them off later today. (Hotfix messaging to come.)

    The lack of sets isn't a "feature" of Vengeance. The goal is to test to see what is the cause of lag so that Gray Host can be properly fixed. So, Gray Host won't be replaced by Vengeance, and I doubt Vengeance will stay without Item Sets for long.
    PC/NA — Lone Werewolf

    Werewolf Should be Allowed to Sneak Prowling added in Update 50!
    Please give us Werewolf Skill Styles (for customizing our fur color) Added in Update 50!, Grimoires/Scribing skills (to fill in the holes in our builds), and Companions (to transform with).

    Vengeance been around about 18 months now.

    Please list what improvements have been made to GH as a result of this "testing" with vengeance.

    i assume it will be once they fix all the issues with it (such as sets not working) and other bugs that were identified during the actual test week

    i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (fully filled out with current game), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them

    I think it would be more accurate to say that Vengeance began as a test to see whether Gray Host could be made performant by determining what, if anything, could be done to fix it. I say that because months ago ZOS announced they had come to the conclusion that it “will not be possible” for them to make Gray Host performant while letting us keep our current character builds.

    “We recognize that some of our players would prefer there be no changes to their characters, effectively how they are in the Gray Host Cyrodiil campaign, while enjoying the higher population and reduced latency/game performance issues of the Vengeance campaign. This is not something that will be possible. Based on what we have learned from the tests so far, we can offer one or the other, not both, and we want to be transparent about that.”

    I’m not wading into the weeds over the value of their “not possible” — they aren’t made of money to throw at the issue for better hardware investments or more devs and dev time. Even ten months ago their bottom line was that this wasn’t something they could actually accomplish given the practical realities of their situation. I cannot imagine a performant GH somehow became a possibility after the major losses they’ve endured since.

    So now Vengeance is the one option (changed characters for increased population and performance), while Gray Host remains the other (characters kept as is but with lower population and performance). They said that doesn’t mean GH won’t get the benefit of some of the testing they’re doing, but a “proper fix” (current characters with desirable performance) was explicitly ruled out as an achievable solution.

    No. It shouldn't. The entire point of Vengeance is to get away from proc set nonsense and even the playing field.

    Because like everything when it comes to PvP the (someone) break it, let bugs slip in, forget to remove stuff, and it's a constant dumpster fire.

    Since it's going to take around 3 years for them to do the class reworks, I don't think that's much of an argument.

    Thanks for linking this. I’ve known this but forgot from where. But it seems like majority of the forum posters who keep asking for GH to get fixed and this and that about GH that they don’t know that ZoS already confirmed it is not possible to fix it, ever and that they have moved on from there to vengeance. Of course, GH is staying, in whatever state it is.
