I suspect most of the people I see in cities with a Flappy or Clammy (or both) in tow already have them double-barred, so I'm not sure how this would help?
Help what? I'd just like it reworked like this so that I can run pets on sorcerer for the DPS while not losing out on other skill slots and while also getting the luxury of them automatically visually dropping off after 20sec
Oh, I see what you were trying to say now. Are you proposing that they'd still be present just invisible after 20 s, or that they would be automatically dismissed after 20 s? (Presumably 20s out of combat rather than a flat 20 s?).
I'd like the option for non-permanent, single-bar sorcerer pets, like how the necromancer pets are

@ZOS can you finally stomp that project now?
As much as I'd like them to allocate more resources to actually fixing the problems in GH, I think keeping it up will only show them that they are out of touch with what the community wants when it continues to get smaller and smaller. Along with the fact that some people actually do enjoy it, albeit a lot less, but allowing the small portion of them to play it is fine. They just need to, for once, dial in on cyro PvP and minimizing the issues it has. It's one of the main reasons people are still around, even with how bad it can get during volendrung spawns.
The issue with live GH cyrodil is the game itself. To fix it involves cutting out half the sets in the game, cutting down on proc effects like poisons, status effects, passives. Then gutting skills so they dont have multiple paragraph parts to them. Major rule changes would have to be reverted like how over time effects used to not stack. Tons of other game design needs to change like how everyone moves 2x the old run speed and mount speed letting players not get ganked. Groups easily converge without being split up by gankers and side objectives artificially spreading the population out.
Its quite literally making a new game from scratch at this point. Which is where many hoped vengeance would lead to with the pve/pvp split skills, but no plan from zos has been released or discussed to this extent.
Re: What has caused you to quit the game or barely play any more? What would bring you back?
It's a slippery slope they created. If they can't turn the ship around leading to less profit and engagement which in turn causes MS to can the game, that's on the dev team. People shouldn't have to keep paying for crap just because they wanna keep the game alive. Companies love people like that. Cause they're the worst. The monetization guy said in an article that he brings 15 million dollars a month. That should be plenty with whatever else they make for this game to be bonkers. Not less and less each year. Not oh now we're not doing chapters, we're gonna have you do some story quests in old zones. We may do new zones sometimes. That German thing said, I believe, that this year will be gratis, which if true will bring a whole host of other problems. They need a showing though. That's for sure. They need 2026 to be a banner year.

Would you invest in a stock that's been progressively going down and down in value knowing the people in charge are steering the ship in that direction? No you wouldn't. You'd invest elsewhere.
That's the slippery slope we seem to be facing. Less engagement means less profit, resulting in less investment by the company.
If that's how this all plays out - then fine, it's on them. They've had a decade of feedback and funding from players. During that time, we've had countless unwanted changes, PR fiascos, streamers pushed away, class rep programs ended, and countless bugs and performance issues. All packaged with lacking communication, until this year.
They want to fund the fixes now - cool, go ask Microsoft for funding. I don't fault anyone for saying, "I'm not spending a dime until things are better". Personally speaking, I've played the game for almost a decade, and I'm not confident that our revenue is being used wisely or towards projects I would enjoy. Increasingly thin releases and increased monetization don't exactly invite me to keep spending. If they're worried about engagement - which they should be - then decouple marketing just a little and focus on the lacking rewards. I don't see that happening.
2026 is their year to fund their own improvements and show us they can truly listen. If 2026 somehow proves to be better than the last few years, I'll return and be the big spender I once was. If it's another year where the season pass is just quests in existing zones, and the main content throughout the year is events, then I'll play the bare minimum, if at all. If it's a year where they don't pace changes based on PTS feedback, then that slippery slope's going to accelerate.

Re: Dev Team Request: A Top 5 List of Bugs and Pain Points You Would Like Addressed
Top Bugs/Issues
Bug 1: Stuck in combat.
Bug 2: Light attacks getting suck and not firing, more specifically Overload getting stuck on sorcerers when nearby players use toggle abilities.
Top Pain Points
Pain Point 1: Poor performance, especially during peak time in pvp. Lag, rubber banding, skills not firing, disconnects, cannot get through doors, re-enter long queues etc.
Pain Point 2: Major struggle with identity and fitting archetypes due to hybridisation. Build meta is as narrow as it can get. Why must i go medium armor with melee weapons for best performance on a mage, as an example? At the same time many race/class passives no longer make sense or are unique.
Pain Point 3: Tank/heal meta in pvp. The concept of stacking heals and building very tanky but yet be able to punish hard is getting out of hand. No matter if if it is solo, small scale or in ball groups.
Pain Point 4: Sorcerer lightning form ghostly animation. It should not cover outfit and character should not become transparent.
Pain Point 5: cannot hide guild tabards. It should not cover outfit.
My top list has changed since 8 months ago:
Top Bugs/Issues
Bug 1: Imbue weapon and morphs have animation delays since animation changes. Weave animation out of sync.
Bug 2: Light attacks getting suck and not firing, more specifically Overload getting stuck on sorcerers when nearby players use toggle abilities.
Bug 3: Stuck in combat.
Top Pain Points
Pain Point 1: Pure class gap VS subclassing, and power gab between certain skill lines resulting in an extreme narrow meta.
Pain Point 2: Major struggle with identity and fitting archetypes due to hybridisation. Why must i go medium armor with melee weapons for best performance on a mage, as an example? At the same time many race/class passives no longer make sense or are unique.
Pain Point 3: Poor performance, especially during peak time in pvp. Lag, rubber banding, skills not firing, disconnects, cannot get through doors, re-enter long queues etc.

Re: Community Update – Vengeance Testing & Cyrodiil
The side by side test showed that vengeance is not going to be viable. Not enough people will play it, even if it's the only option.
I expect ZOS to support the PvP I've been playing for a decade. That's the game I purchased, ZOS is still selling, and it's their job to support the game they sell.
I expect ZOS to use the information they gathered from vengeance to improve performance in Grey Host just like they said they were going to do from the onset.

Re: Honestly - Is Vengeance Viable?
"Artisian0001 wrote:What are these random out of touch arguments from people on the forums? Do you guys actually even PvP? Your metric for super serious PvPs includes IC players, vengeance players, and BG players? What? IC has almost no population and is generally used for farming telvar for currency. Vengeance is for those that strictly do not want competition and higher skilled gameplay, but only a numbers fight. BGs are also lacking in population because there is no real leaderboard based on win percentage, solely on time played. The best PvP players are without a shadow of a doubt, those who play in current GH and try to fight equal or greater numbers than those they currently have in their group. The "super serious" ones are the ones that make comps and builds for every single person in their group to be optimized so they can fight as many people as they can. Not randoms running around in IC to fight mobs. Good players will pop in every now and then to try and find a fight, but they are few and far between.
So if you want to test your pvp build, where do you go? Into the time sink of horse-riding Cyrodiil? Of course not. Serious PvPers test their builds in smaller scale settings so they can iterate quickly. BGs are no CP and have a slightly different meta than CP enabled places, but otherwise yes, the better players are found dueling there. Otherwise, let me know why there are so many rank 50 Grand Overlords that crumple to a forum-going PvE carebear in Venegance.
Maybe back in 2018 when the population was higher and there was actual competition and strategy in Cyrodiil, I'd believe that CP Cyro required skill of the chess kind. Zone chat was full of spies and people calling out plays and doing psychological mind games and whatnot. But nowadays, the population caps are low and it's mostly ball groups fighting zergs and waiting for some other ball group to contest them, and they're dueling for 10 minutes with no one dying. I suppose these GvG need to be pre-arranged in Discord nowadays with exclusive signups like vet trials. So fun.
Re: Would you like to see an actual numbers instead of bars? (AvA)
There is no reason for players to know the numbers, and we shouldn't know them.
Also, appearance is everything. If a campaign is pop locked, that doesn't mean players are actively fighting in PvP. They could be fishing, doing dolmens, doing delves, doing town quests, or checking the golden vendor for all we know. Which makes numbers useless.
Bars are better for a general knowing for amounts of players per alliance, as these do not prevent players from entering PvP for any irrational numerical 'reason' players minds can come up with.
PS: Screaming(repeatedly posting) either vengeance or grey host is dead does not make it so, despite some players on the forums trying to state this as fact. If they really are dead, ZOS will probably handle this in their own way anyways.
