Re: Empty Night Markets
I did GF and joined a group but I couldn't get to them because there was...death in the way. "Travel to player" doesn't put you close enough to the group. Am I missing something?
I think this is why the respawn timer is so long. You should be able to make it to group from an oasis as long as you can figure out where to go.

Re: How to enjoy PvP in this game?
Ehhh i mean if you are talking 1vX setups, sure people ran health recovery builds because it was the best survivability at that time. Most pugs and casual players all still ran a mix of sets in noproc.
IMO overall though I think zos has a better chance with developing vengeance than trying to push the boulder up the mountain that is greyhost pvp. PvE and PvP should have split a long time ago. Even just for the aspect of inventory auto swapping gear and skills to your pvp setup. Power creep has ballooned skills in GH to the point where most have multiple paragraphs and effects. Gear sets are at the point people are wearing 4+ proc sets that each do handfuls of effects and timers.
I would rather see vengeance get the remaining skill lines brought in. Then add morphs in a smart way like dizzy swing does less damage with a short cast time, wrecking blow does more damage with a long cast time. Simple morphs that do not balloon the game with random effects.....yet create hundreds of playstyle combinations. Another example: Streak stuns at the final location, Ball stuns at the starting location.
IMO its dumb that in GH pvp builds are nearly at the point where I have every possible major/minor that I could care for. If everyone has every major/minor buff......they serve no purpose other than to induce more lag. Zos could disable the major/minors and give you the stats by default skipping the whole lag issue.............Look at armor enchants on live, 99% of people have all tristats, SO why not just remove the whole armor enchant system calculation wise?

Re: How to enjoy PvP in this game?
They always do this, but if those choices are not competitively valid in a PvP game, why do they exist? To trick casuals into running worse builds so they do twice as bad? Vengeance correctly makes it hard for someone to accidentally run a "bad" or otherwise nonfunctional build.MincMincMinc wrote: »Most pugs and casual players all still ran a mix of sets in noproc

I didn't realize the vault had more riches in it depending on how much gold we have. Mine is filled pretty high up so I guess I'm better off than I knew! But how do we have banker access from the vault?
The bank access is on one of the walls in the vault room (face the pile o' gold vault, and turn to the wall to the right). It unlocks after earning a certain amount of favor with your faction. (5000, if I recall correctly.)

It's too easy to hit something like C by mistake, and popping open your character sheet in the middle of being attacked by a mob is not fun. If the dev team thinks that E would be a bad chouce for this, how about F?
Set synergize to a side mouse button and you won't have the problem. I only have 2 side buttons on my mouse and use 1 for dodge roll and the other for synergize

Re: Eidetic Memory Bugs/Comments/Help
I’m surprised that Night Market didn’t include any unobtainable books or notes – everything is obtainable. I did have a problem with the second version of Curious Missive, but apparently, once you’ve completed the quest associated with it, the first version reappears the second time around; all you need to do is abandon the quest and pick it up again.
Re: PVP right now...
Back in the day we had Mag Sorcs spamming overload constantly. You want to get whipped or eat a dozen overloads every 5 minutes?
Well enjoy it while it lasts because when they drop the other class overhauls you be back to whining about them.

Something is broken in Cyro post night market
Something is wrong in cyro before the night market i was not getting 1 shot now "EVERYONE" is getting 1shot making it unplayable. So my guess is there is something broken with the new mythic or the night market itself is causing some kind of crazy desink or everyone just decided to script what is everyone's else's experience?
Re: Three-Sided Deathmatch
The longest I had to wait was just over 3 minutes. Was it the same for you? I bet I could have even played my main character during the event. Now that 3-sided is gone again, it's back to this:
*shrugs* I'm not an uber-sweat and have the benefit of PC NA population, 3 min is the standard 8v8 queue for me after work hours.
I'm not against 4v4v4. Love the variety, and love that the old maps and dynamics generally succeed in preventing chokepoints. (AKA in 8v8 spawncamping).
Sometimes it did become a walk-fest to objectives since it's always possible for the two other teams to be preoccupied with each other instead of the objectives.
A few matches were against meta builds that just stomped the entire lobby.
Though I too still like the larger moshpit of 8v8, neither addresses buildcrafting/MMR issues. But to be honest it's going to be a cluster with all the class reworks in the next few years.
Would have loved to see some data points from you two about that 4v4v4 weekend but whatever. I am simply going to presume you cherry-pick your data.
@Moonspawn
Regarding the 4 flaws of 2-sided:`
1. What has changed about positioning and target selection? You still want to try and focus down on those that seem like they take more damage than the rest, CC healers, layer burst, rushdown squishies or backline archers while being sure to be mindful of where you're at so as to not get swarmed and focused (unless built for it).
2. While a larger bucket can hold more socially engineered players, a smaller bucket lets fewer impact a team more greatly.
3. Multiple entry points from spawn (as in, like middle of the map/side of map teleport point) rather than a single drop-down platform can help alleviate the chokepoint issue.
4. The only point I won't contest.
As far as your critique of 3-sided and your solutions:
1. A separate deathmatch queue could be interesting, but if it's structured like the current 4v4 Deathmatch that's not good. Just punishes teams with squishy players eventually leading to an even more perpetualy tanky/brawler meta.
2. The irony that you are annoyed by players utilizing movement and positioning on objectives is not lost on me when you criticized 8v8 for lacking such things. I'm all for reducing map cheese, but with flags, taking advantage of an enemy's absence is a viable strategy. Your VIP gamemode suggestion for Relic capture is horrendous, especially envisioning it prioritizing the squishiest players to be burst, and for example not counting the chance that the chosen relic holder is one of those unkillable parse tanks, all of this handled by RNG.
3. Rewards are now here as noted.
