Vengeance mode for trials, arena's and trifectas now
Now that a version of Cyrodiil will be available with pre-made load outs and builds, it's time to do the same for trials, arena's and trifecta's.
I shouldn't have to take the time to create a build, do a parse or anything to complete the hardest PvE content. If I don't have to have gear and builds for PvP I shouldn't need it for PvE either.
Fair is fair. Lets have it ZOS. You owe us vengeance mode for trails, arenas and trifectas now too.
This is not a troll post. I'm totally serious. If PvE players don't have to make builds for PvP, then PvP players shouldn't have to make builds for PvE. I am totally serious with this post.

Re: Should 4v4v4 (3 Teams) Battleground mode become permanent again?

The objectives themselves are also better balanced in 2 team since they promote engagement a bit more (but only slightly, and with the exception of Chaosball that is 100% better in 3 team).
However, those two things don't really matter when 9/10 matches in 2 team BGs are a straight steam roll with one team sitting in spawn and the other team waiting for them to drop out of spawn. It's agonizing how rare it is to have a decent match in 2 team BGs because there's no X factor, no comeback mechanic, and little to no possibility of the weaker team overpowering the stronger team unless they get a fill player that ends up turning the tide.
3 team BGs are much more consistently enjoyable just for the sheer fact that you are constantly fighting in them. There are very few instances of one team being pushed all the way to their spawn for the entire match, and while it does still happen occasionally (especially in Deathmatch games), the third team means that there's still always an opportunity to push out of spawn and that the leading team is never totally safe.
The skill/power/gear/healer gap, whatever you want to call it, has to be much higher in 3 team BGs in order for the map to be a boring spawn camp fest. It happens almost every match in 2 teams.
I agree with this, especially the part about 4v4v4 being more consistently enjoyable, which is the most important thing for me. PvP is never going to be my favourite thing to do (especially running around a little pen with a few other people, I prefer Cyrodiil style with the potential for bigger groups and more variety) but I had far more 3-sided matches that drew me in and had cool moments, whereas in most 2-sided matches by about 1/2 way I feel like I'm just waiting for the timer to tick down so it's over, whether I'm on the winning side or not.
The best solution would probably be to keep both so the organised, committed groups can play 4v4 against each other, at which point it might be interesting for them, but 4v4v4 for the variety and the fact that it's far less liklely one group can just dominate the match.

Re: The Silence On Antiquity Leads Is Defeaning!
That lead is absolutely brutal. My sympathies.I’ve been running ICP for the lead from the Gravelight Sentry boss and I have one more item to go before I complete my stickerbook… but still no lead. An that’s the FIRST lead.
It definitely needs its chance raised significantly, if not to 100%.
Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Challenge Difficulty
Stuff still dies too fast on Vestige, even with the damage fixed.
One thing I've noticed is, I can self-nerf my damage down to about an 8 second TTK for base pop and ~20 second for bosses, which IMO seems reasonable for something like overland. It would be tedious if every pack of 3 mobs took a minute to die.
However, it seems the AI for when mechanics trigger on overland enemies is really forgiving. Like I'm generally getting 1 mechanic per boss fight, with a 17-20 second TTK. It's more an issue of mechanics not really happening than TTK.
It would be nice to see the frequency bumped up of heavy attacks/channels/etc, so those big hits will matter more, without an excessively long TTK.
TLDR: Damage reduction should be more like 90%, and mobs need to engage mechanics sooner.

I don't care as long as there's an actual human there and using it only as a tool to communicate better due to language barrier or other issues.

One poster I am aware of has some cognitive issues due to an injury if I remember correctly. Their AI posts are way clearer than their own typed posts.
There are countless reasons for using ai to format and formulated comments including the above, language barriers, grammar deficiencies, etc. These are all valid reasons to use ai to generate a statement that YOU then post.

Interesting that people are calling 8v8 more chill. Yeah, that's zerg surfing. You're gonna love EP Vengeance. Battlegrounds are for PvP though.
Re: Should 4v4v4 (3 Teams) Battleground mode become permanent again?
The 3 team format is what made ESO Battlegrounds unique compared to other games. The positioning and strategy are completely different from 2 team modes, less linear and less prone to lopsided matches. I've never seen q pop being this quick lol I think people were missing 4v4v4 a lot.
