You would have 3 separate accounts that can each be logged in on any platform. Differentiating logins is a much easier task than merging, so that's what they'll most likely do.DietDrKelp2 wrote: »

I highly doubt that they would merge accounts. Brings only problems.
Re: SUPRISE ! People dont like VENGEANCE
I see. I mean, I don't. I can compare without playing it side by side. Take old experiences and compare them to new ones.
But why comparing popularity (and how? just logged-in people? quantity over quality?) and why over such a short time (a good sample would take much longer) and why long standing systems with work in progress?
Wouldn't it be better to make a poll about the things they were actually testing + the overall experience compared to GH or other non-vengeance campaigns?
Yes. That's an absolutely fair point. That's one of the reasons I've stopped playing Cyrodiil a while ago. It was getting old. It absolutely does need a rework.
No. The best way to determine the popularity of something is to offer both at the same time and see where they go. No needs for polls or surveys, just let people vote with their feet.
Re: You've nerfed the worst class in this PTS
Did you describe the burst of Nightblade as Incap + Surprise attack instead of Merciless Resolve, the hardest hitting skill in the game? Dragonknight is the king of burst without contest; but Nightblade is and will be even moreso the 2nd best burst.
I am not at all concerned for Nightblade burst or gankers, because they will shred as always. I am concerned about what lies outside of this. What will you do in an age of wing spammers who half your spectral bow's damage and have far beyond 30k HP? If you cannot burst them (no ranged class currently can. Traditional Sorc suffers in this same regard) then they get up and heal to full.
Every other class you can most likely eat up, except toxic Wardens who break things with Shimmering Shield. But what other playstyle do you have besides burst? That is the real question, and I think Nightblade is in this one-sided category and has not many (strong enough) options outside of that. Surprise Attack is top 3 of the best spammables in pvp, but you will not pressured a meta HoT build with this alone.
Please read my post before texting something like this
Why didn't I take incap+merciless "combo" into consideration? Because anyone who have played PVP for at least a few weeks will always dodge merciless. It's not guaranteed, predictable and there is too much time to react. Back in the day I thought it may take some reaction, but in reality it doesn't. Found it out in a few funny ways: I tried playing PC NA for a bit where I have 300 ping and I dodged every single merciless after incap, didn't get hit a single time. But that's nothing, once I logged to duel my friend when I came back after my other friend's birthday where we had a drinking game that didn't go well for me, I guess at this point I had 1000+ ping inside my head but I still dodged all of the bow procs. It doesn't take reaction or skill to dodge it at all. But even if I would take it into consideration incap+merciless still deals less damage than db+bb+bfb, let alone DK's combo.
Anyone with half a brain will dodge incap+merciless, if you take it into consideration then I"ll say arcanist is op because arc can kill anyone if they just stand and eat their beam, because it's the same thing as not doding bow after incap
NB doesn't have any burst whatsoever compared to other classes
I did read it Prionyx. I stand by it still because Merciless being dodgable, particularly as a ranged skill, is something shared by many skills. You say that Crystal Fragments is somehow superior to Merciless, even though it has not only less damage, but has the same minimum travel time issue and gets dodged.
What should outrage us much more than this is the shameless 50% damage mitigation DK Wings (one of the most used and spammed skill) grants against both of these skills. So if you would have mentioned this, I would be with you. Otherwise, this is nothing uniquely detrimental about Merciless over any other ranged skill. Merciless actually activates faster than Crystal Fragments by the way; hence harder to dodge.
Merciless is better than frags, but merciless is all we have, sorc has curse(this is sorc's core skill, not frags, and it is better than merciless) and bound armaments

Re: Make some empty pve zones to pvp zones in live events
I'd be fine with inverting the PvP and PvE zones for a week, but I bet it would cause a huge participation drop, with many people not logging in for that period of time at all. And that's surely nothing ZOS would want to see.

Spawn point killing in BGs
Any update on when this is going to stop?
Kinda pathetic that this exists ...,. allowing ranged to attack from their spawn while melee are disadvantaged.
Why is this still a thing?
Im actually dumbfounded this made it past PTS. lol

Re: Rele gone from pvp
Good change. Would be good to be able to get full mats back after a decon when a set gets nerfed like this but i dont care about the mats wasted that much as long as game is in a healthier state.
Now give pyrebrand the same treatment, it does the same if not more damage and is way more stickier
And Aerie's Cry particularly could be looked at. It hits for around 4k every few seconds, so similarly to the best burst proc sets around, but automatically, every few seconds, through walls, through everything. It now even stacks. And this is leaving aside the 10% damage bonus it passively grants.
This was just a friendly test we did. Only afterwards did we notice how hard this constantly hits.
And works from backbar, probably still not good enough to beat backbar rallying cry but pretty cool set
My partner uses Aerie and Rallying Cry at the moment. He contemplates dropping Rallying for something like Pariah.
He doesn't even build particularly offensive, but can sustain around 8k DPS on me from range. (Like a dummy parse obviously; just standing still and parsing. So not altogether realistic)
No offense Dracane but this throwing up numbers from everyone and ZoS just eating it up is actually diabolical. I’m in actual disbelief that now anything I decide to run/test that is remotely viable, I’m going to have to look over my shoulder and the forums to see if it’s taking a hit because good ol’ BillyBob42 said he pulled 11k while running ‘savage werewolf’. Can y’all not go play vengeance if y’all want basic as fluff template PvP with ‘all the skill’ and ‘no flashy sets’?
I don’t care if this ‘sounds dumb’ the premise I mentioned above is even more so. I don’t want to go back to the ‘good ol’ days’ where your freedom of expression was Hundings Rage/Hulking Draugr.

Re: Conservation of Energy is broken, but can we also do something about DK please?
This is not healthy for the game either:
DK still going to dominate PvP along with WW. Next patch's meta is going to be pretty stupid boring.
How realistic is it to have even half the amount of stacks needs to get Pyrebrand to even half the level of the 17% displayed in that parse outside of a 1 v 1 an opponent can sustain in (and how problematic is healing that we can even parse and survive this)?

Haha, can we maybe leave the class sets be for a bit in PvP? I like to glow on my werewolf and have something meaningful of my class. These are pain in the rear to farm and are locked out almost exclusively by dedication (most PvPers aren't going through this effort, in other words). No that doesn't mean it should be OP...
but it's a slightly-lower-scaling unfathomable darkness (unfathomable darkness is a slightly bigger tooltip not counting one of the 2, 3, 4 being crit on that set and this set is clearly, heavily inspired by it)... it just so happens to give more damage when you're specced as a warden and can run Aerie's (but like- unfathomable itself is a pretty dog proc set that can and should be brought up in value or changed like MANY other sets in this game currently).
On a side note, this is exactly what I feared with the 'on monsters' effect. First werewolf berserker bleed just ravished from live and now every proc set in existence sourced from PvE needs to be obliterated into the shadow realm for PvP (would take like a damage value nerf 'on players' but like... the WHOLE set???). I mean, sure Rush of Agony is toxic, nonsense trash b/c burst damage+no-CC-pull so get rid of it... but like a set that's a pain to farm+ unique to a class+ ~1k dps on the proc itself+ purgeable... we have to turn that OFF in PvP?

It's a tool used for translation by many people around the world for about 180 years (until internet access became mainstream). Last time I looked into one it had a big grammar section at the back of the book (not sure if all editions; I've only used a Webster's a few times, more common in my country are the Oxford English Dictionary or the English dictionary by Langenscheidt, which all include grammar - the big books, at least, not the pocket dictionaries for travel).
Glad that's not the case in your country but in mine you need a lot more than a dictionary. Dictionary will tell you the meaning of a word but actual translation requires more than just that. It's not a complete tool. And I know many people don't have access to such things because people have needed the help of translators because dictionaries were inadequate for their translations needs for much longer than the Internet existed.
And these people play ESO (which is rather text-heavy and only available in a few languages) and absolutely need to discuss the game in these forums?
Yes, they do. This game is voice acted in multiple languages.
