Re: Vengeance ruleset for Dungeons/Etc.
I've had performance issues in almost every trial I've played and crashed out of a couple, especially the newer ones. People are comparing this to PvP, which I guess is fair, but I don't really think they're equivalent. I've definitely had performance issues in Gray Host before, and have been disconnected a couple times too, but per-capita have far more issues in trials. Also, disconnecting or having performance issues is a MUCH bigger problem in trials- I've had groups wipe because of one DC or a stuttered mechanic, which borks the whole run. In Cyrodiil, when performance is bad, it's just a couple extra deaths or an inconvenience to re-queue. It's Cyrodiil; you die and you're inconvenienced all the time, and the only "punishment" is your own frustration (where in PvE, you lose your score, rewards, etc). The experience of the whole team is seldom ruined when there's PvP performance issues, not that they're not bad, but they're hardly as experience-breaking and frustrating as in PvE.
Vengeance for AT LEAST trials should help identify and address these issues, no? Not understanding the pushback, I thought we all wanted better performance in ESO.

Re: A Win‑Win Idea: Keep Subclassing Fun, Restore Pure Class Power

Subclassing is going to require a nerf in order to buff pure-classed characters.
What I think they're going to need to do as a baseline change is concede that allowing players to transfer a class line's active abilities AND passives is what is creating the imbalance, which means that in order to fix this problem, the baseline step is going to be to allow you to use the skills from a particular skill line, but the passives are sticky, meaning you are stuck with them once you make a class choice at the character screen. In other words, you choose a templar, and your character can only use class skill line passives from the templar tree. This would significantly curb some of the power that comes from your ability to stack specific class passives.
Alternatively, they can remove skill line passives and make them sticky to the characters like a racial passive so that you don't have to worry about transferring passives from the skill line.
Either way, in order to make pure-classed characters more viable and competitive, subclassed characters are going to have to be taken down a notch (or several) because there is no way to independently buff pure-classed characters as it stands right now without giving a corresponding buff to subclassed characters using those same skill lines.
Not quite sure you read the OP.
It's nice that you've added animals to Hidden Spring Cottage, but...
...it would be better if the animals could be moved to a different location, just like the plants. I had to design my entire house around a "rabbit hutch" because I couldn't build over the bunnies!

Re: Azandir is worth it.
I'm on console, so can't really comment on how good it is, but would be kinda weird is they nerf it.
Bastians perk has been bugged/underperforming since launch, and they never touched or commented on it.

Agreed! I got a couple of expensive Necrom recipes from these folios.

Just fought B'Korgen for the Summerset daily and instead of doing the headache animation your character just walks back in slomo.

I keep seeing this. Who is pushing hard? What is the pve community? Who in their right mind thinks people speak for all people. There's pvpers saying they like this idea. Is that the pvp community? Does that mean the pvp community is pushing hard for vengeance? Let's be very clear here. Some people seem to like it and some don't. This nonsense that there's some secret cabal of pve players trying to take down Cyro is wild. You guys have legit good arguments to stand on. Hyperbole and bad faith stuff do not help. The same as people posting Zos's post on reddit but carefully removing sentences to rage bait don't help. Stand on the merits.
This is me standing on merit, and I will die on this hill. No one is giving legitimate reasons to not have a PvE Vengeance ruleset. All I keep hearing is “performance isn’t an issue” to which I’ve given plenty of examples that it is. If the Vengeance ruleset is meant to solve performance issues why not have it in PvE?
Nobody is giving you legitimate reasons because we all know (including you) that your point is “waa PvPers are forced to play Vengeance and that sucks so make the game sucky for everyone!” and you’re dismissing everyone who also agreed that it’s unwanted.
So if that’s what you want, then we can be just as petulant: GH isn’t going away. IC isn’t going away. BGs aren’t going away. So realistically, PvP isn’t forced into Vengeance either. The only people this is directly going to affect, at least at the moment, are those toxic PvPers whose entire game is “farm noobs when they accidentally go in GH.” The equivalent “make PvE vengeance here would be that some trials have Vengeance mechanics and the rest and Dungeons and Arenas all proceed as normal.
As for the future, that remains to be seen. But I’ve seen a lot more PvErs who are disappointed in ZOS’s decision than PvErs who are praising it. But this whole act is going to do nothing but make you more and more salty and turn people away from your side.
No. Nobody is giving legitimate reasons cause there are none.
Seems like maybe nobody wants Vengeance. Which is strange cause it’s coming, and ZOS has numbers of positive reviews for it… If a feature so widely accepted that also improves performance is available, it should be available across the entire game. It’s you guys and ZOS splitting the community, not me. I’d actually view my stance as the opposite.
You've been given several, you just refuse to accept them.
You've been asked several times to give details of the performance issues you are having in PvE and yet can't seem to muster any.
This is wild. Read through my comments, I’ve given plenty. I’m not going to have the same conversation 10 times
Ok, so your issues seem to be issues with the bank and CP - that sounds like a connection or bugged coding issue. It's no performance.
You mention lag a couple of times but give no specific details - so again, outside of Town hubs/World Bosses (that can be fixed by lowering the instance cap):
Where does this lag occur for you?
What are your graphic settings?
What is your ISP like?
How often does this occur?
How big are the lag spikes?
How long do the lag spikes last?
I guess I will say it again.
I’m on a series X. I don’t see the same repeated lag in PvP that I do in PvE. I don’t crash in PvP like I do in PvE. I’ve seen teleporting atros at Molag Kena, delayed synergies in imperial prison, Maw mass disconnects, screen tearing and audio skipping in grahtwood, teleporting players in Riften, FPS drops at any event, crashing or timing out literally anywhere.
Acting like a bunch of players at a seige camp spamming abilities and creating lag is somehow an acceptable flaw just because it’s on a time constraint is not okay. It’s the same issue they are saying they resolved with their vengeance ruleset.
Like what is your motive other than telling me my experiences aren’t as valuable as yours?
If the player base’s main complaint is performance……. Why would we not be wanting the whole game to perform? There’s a clear reason and no one wants to say it.

Re: Who is constructing our houses? Many flaws that need corrected.
The problem isn’t that there are imperfections added to the game for realism for the time period, it’s just that the imperfections are often so grossly exaggerated to the point of ugliness. The walls in the Elsweyr houses just look disgusting. You have to find ways to cover them up. Sure, some very unfortunate people probably lived in conditions like that in a medieval time period but it looks unhealthy to us and is a real turn-off.
Even some base game areas look like this too. I do my daily crafting run around Riften every day, I start at the crafting hall, pick up the equipment writs first, ride through the center of town and pick up the consumables writs, then back to the crafting hall. As I head back to the crafting hall I can see that the sections of stone paving have corners that don’t meet for the center circular section in more than one place, and some sections are buckled up at an angle. I guess that is supposed to be realistic but it is immersion-breaking for me. I agree there would be imperfections but they should not be so obvious when riding on your mount. They didn’t have micrometers and calipers back then but any good craftsman would have more attention to detail at least on a superficial level.
