For me, fighting other players challenges me more then NPC's and Boss fights. It takes a different skill set to predict people over AI. I enjoy the challenge. For some people it is much more.

Now that we are at the tail end of Q3, can we get an idea on what type of item the Q4 collectible will be? I.e. Skin, house, emote, etc.

We already know that the Q4 morphable is the Wildgrown Chapel of Julianos house in West Weald south of Ostumir. It was announced on the U47 reveal ESOLive.

There will be 5 fragments and they start dropping during Witches Fest

I love this undaunted event but I dont need anymore keys, would have been nice to get double the transmute crystals, especially since we have subclassing now..I know I'm making new builds so need more transmutes.

There are dozens of ways to make spawncamping harder, including fantastical ones like mystical matchmaking that require population to be a hundred times what it is right now. Don't you think it's far more elegant to deftly remove the very reasons spawncamping became so useful in the first place?

I do, but when I’m looking at current spawn camping I’m taking note of the “how” and “why” and “whom” it’s happening with.

Pre subclassing the spawn camping wasn’t nearly as much of an issue or impact as it is now. Yes, it happened but not nearly as frequently.

MRR modification is one way to address BG issues. It’s not difficult to do nor does it require some massive population. A modified MRR will simply better allocate the pool of players it’s given by using different criteria than it does now.

If I have 20 players I can sort 20 players efficiently or poorly; but either way, I can still sort them.

If we don’t want to look at MRR or we think that will be less effective then we can simply adjust critical self healing and critical resistance as mentioned above.

We know that these two elements of BG’s are root causes of increased spawn camping and there’s no counter to them. You can’t stop someone from critically healing themselves to full in one burst and you can’t protect yourself from crits if the opponents modifier is so far above the soft cap.

Thats precisely why I’ve been saying for a while now that we don’t have proper counter play mechanics. The only counter for the crit meta is another crit meta and nothing else.

So to your question, yes, I’d very much like to address the root cause of the increased spawn camping, but just simply going back to 3 team isn’t going to solve our problem because that does nothing to address the mechanics which would still be present.

4v4v4 could still see spawn camping; just having that extra team does not mean they’re going to be able to save you from the meta-fest, or that they’ll even try.

I'm so glad that EP is having fun in this campaign
