Re: Unable to change hair color without paying for it?
I'm voting for barber for game gold, even with high prices like 10-30k - let's make it a legit gold sink. However I really don't like idea of using gear dyes because it will be another step to make everything esthetic uglier. We have bright, shiny, pastel colors of mounts, pets nad gear, really don't need add hair to this circus.
In another topic I saw video from Cyrodill beginnings and it was fantastic - dozens of players and mainly brown and grey colors. Maybe it was lacking some color but that was so much better than today with all flashy colors everywhere like in some asian MMO...

Re: How is DPS this low on CP 500+ toons?
For any long time TES players (or any RPG with intuitive combat), ESO sets them up for failure. I have a lot of guildies that started playing ESO because of Skyrim, but combat in ESO..... makes me smh. Yah, it makes sense now (barely), but even I was confused in the beginning about why I was doing so little dmg (I invested in HP, AND magicka, AND stamina, like any sensible person would).
There's also still confusion about what constitutes DoT, Direct Dmg, etc. so even if you can read English, the tool tips aren't super informative and don't help you decide what to spend CP on. i.e. Endless Hail is considered DoT (and PLEASE correct me if Im wrong! lol), but...I would argue its direct dmg (individual arrows delivering dmg every second for the duration). A poison/bleed ability would unmistakably classify as a DoT, dealing X total dmg over X seconds, as opposed to arrows dealing individual dmg each hit. Its all very unintuitive.
Then there's gear... gear makes way too big of a difference imo, and I find it utter pish posh that gear determines so much dps, as opposed to solely defenses, but I get why... still don't' like it though. There's just too many things that are seemingly backwards, and unless you follow a build, or watch a video explaining things, you are going to be lost. Even knowing what does what, you will still be left to experiment with this or that to find what works for you.
I honestly hate the CP system as it is anyways, as well as resource scaling........ but hey, it is what it is, and at least these recent PTS changes look like they are taking a step in the right direction.
Also, add ons are not a solution, proper tutorials and tool tips are the only way to solve this problem. More UI options would help as well, so that players can actually learn and identify this stuff. So many players start this game and quit because, yes, its that confusing and backwards for most.

Re: How is DPS this low on CP 500+ toons?
Because they don't want to put any effort into learning how to play their role.
I think it's more that many, like myself, don't want to put all their time and effort into it.
I also think it's overwhelming to a lot of players.
Regular dungeons should be tailored for your average player. Leave the vet dungeons for those who enjoy developing their characters for harder content.
Re: Got crown scammed
You can't blame ZOS for your interaction with some players. You shouldn't buy crowns for in-game currency if you not prepared to be scammed, no way is there a failsafe for something like that instilled in the game. You're basically selling your in-game currency for real money and I'm sure somewhere on the user-agreement it doesn't allow you to make money from Bethesda's code/property.
Re: Got crown scammed
Stop attempting to trade crowns in zone chat.
There's a constant stream of stories about people getting scammed by doing this, so I don't know why people think it won't happen to them.
Join one of the crown exchange guilds.
World Crown Exchange has had at least one instance of a rogue seller, recently. But it's rare, and I imagine the guild leaders would make proper amends if that happens.
But I haven't seen that Tamriel Crown Exchange has had that problem at all. They boast an insurance fund for refunding such things, anyway, and they use third-party brokers to conduct the trades.
Either option would be much safer with regard to the integrity of a crown trade than trusting some rando directly.

Re: Proc sets need to be adjusted before the end of the PTS cycle.
Proc sets are not a problem.
2 proc sets just can be negated by 1 defensive set. Or purged.
If it is 4 on 1 fight, yes it kills, but why do you think that you must kill 4 people solo ?
1 on 1 player in 2 attack proc sets is always weeker.
And proc sets were always used before patch to, so what is the problem?
I kill people with proc sets more easely.
But they are playable now. They just were useless before. Now they are playable, but it is not win button, 1 on 1 i always kill them.
yeah yeah its balanced lol, when gear does more dmg then abilities and they make its easly proc so boomers can kill people by just smashing the keyboard without thought or need to learn the game, such a joke 1.3k bb
great balance and thanks you so much for listening to the community zos
can't wait for new world to come out ,this game went from being good competitive mmorpg and became so bad and boring
this proc meta, block changes that made the game clunky , ultimate cast time they killed pvp already so many people left
and the people who still play just don't have thing else to play for the moment
Re: Overperforming sets in PvP

You ever played BGs? Sheer Venom is very common and very strong in no CP
Re: ZOS: URGENT PLEA ABOUT ABUSIVE COMMENTS on ZONE CHAT ...extremely upsetting.
The mute and report function are both things that exist. Not to discredit your issue or anything, but you can already avoid basically all forms of harrassment yourself.
Re: Unable to change hair color without paying for it?
This HAS to be an oversight!SilverBride wrote: »I agree. I want to change my Sorcerer's hair color so I thought I'd buy the Style thing that let's you change your hairstyle on all your characters as often as you like. Then I found out this only changes the style and not the color. To change the color you need to buy a complete character recustomization, which you can only use once.
What the...?
While it would be nice to be able to buy a package of the base hair colors as we did with hairstyles I think it is pretty clear this is not an oversight as it has been this way for several years. Heck, Zos could even sell additional colors individually and make even more.
Re: 1vX - How? (PvP)
LoS (line of sight) you cant hit that which you cant target
Blocking (massive damage reduction)
Roll Dodge (window of invulnerability essentially)
HoTs (Artic blast, living trellis, passive healing via animal line passive)
If you were attacking me, I run SnB back bar, so if you're using spells I can reflect them with defensive posture. I can use the ult for 6+ seconds of massive damage reduction. Combined with HoTs and a spot heal ill go right back to full health.
Also if you're attacking me, you netter have either high damage or proc sets. Essentially if you're not running a dedicated PvP build you won't be dealing enough damage.
Without LoS a player has a hell of a time 1vX decent players
