My guild has cancelled daily PvP raid group until the 30th. We'll be back next Tuesday when PvP returns.

Why would you put a pvp event without golden pursuit during the biggest pve event of the year.
I'm not touching that thing

Honestly I'm glad they did, it'll be great to see how the population looks during this test without the bait-incentives of pursuits and endeavors bringing in the casual community.

Three-teams BGs rewards: Daily XP.
Two-teams BGs rewards: Daily XP, endeavors, golden pursuits, battlemaster tokens and obscene amounts of transmutation crystals.

Can you imagine the size of the BG population if players had been given the choice to stay in 4v4v4 and receive the same bait-incentives?

I was happy to participate in the first and second tests when the premise was that it was just a matter of finding out where the performance problems in Cyrodiil were coming from.

At the time, many of us were quite panicked that you wanted to restructure Cyrodiil. Your response was, “Hey, chill. It's just a stress test. We want to know where the performance issues are coming from.”

In the first test, there were almost no performance issues. In the second test, there was much lag, and one might think, “We've found a performance factor. We can use that to get closer to the actual problem.” But still, you continue with the next one and the next one...

By now (and at the latest after the U48 preview stream), it has become more than clear that you ultimately want to rebuild Cyrodiil in Vengeance. And I absolutely do not support that anymore. You have clearly deceived us in this regard.

Vengeance isn't something that gives me more than an hour of enjoyment. I liked Cyrodiil the way it was. My character felt the same way she did outside, and that was great. In Vengeance, she feels wrong to me.

If Vengeance is gonna be the new Cyrodiil, I'm out.

Hell no, this playstyle SUCKS! I thought ESO was great because it allows you to totally customize your build and playstyle. What a joke. Please end this ridiculous test NOW so we can all come back to the game we love(d).

I am concerned that there won’t be any real workable data to actually analyse here, subclassing has meant that there’s only ever been at most two bars in cyro for each faction at peak times.

Since vengeance started I’ve had look and there been 0 bars so I’m not sure how this tests out the issues as there are no players stressing the server

Meatbags are too nerfed, they need the lingering ground AoE to function as area denial against zergs.

Healing in general is too much, the larger zerg stacks heals and can't die, smaller zerg can never catch up largely because their AoE damage cap is stuck at the same 3 targets as the AoE heal cap.

I am now logging on a lot less because I mainly play Campaigns which 100% excludes the deceipt by ESO dressing Vengeance up as a test, it is a total no-no.

I’m in Cyrodiil most nights and I’m really rooting for pvp improvements. But I’m sick of doing vengeance tests.

I got in and the orange color of everything drug me down with the memory of having to rework the skill load outs of every character. Then I remembered that without. The scoreboard nobody cares about playing the map and just faction stacks. I’m just not feeling it this time.

It’s also bad timing to do this as the same time as the Undaunted event.

Just me?

Can’t really go off the population bars because the pop cap is higher in vengeance.
