Spawn with 5 seconds of invulnerability like we do in IC. This is such an easily solved problem.

8v8s spawns are usually big to where they have multiple exit points. Spawn camping really isn't a problem in 8v8. 4v4 is an entirely different beast.
But you really shouldn't be staying in spawn, if you're team is being spawn camped then odds are the match is already over anyway.
cant agree. Currently, facing a coordinated team means getting spawn-trapped; despite having multiple exits, it’s nearly impossible to break out of that zone or even survive past the first turn. My suggestion for "increasing spawn points" is to implement randomized respawns in different map sectors. We saw a similar randomization in a recent 4v4v4 map where players could select their landing

It still gives zones for players to fall down and be locked into an animation roll in an easily patrolled area, especially if the majority of the kills are being done by a few on the opposing team.
Deathmatch? Yeah won't change much.
But other objective based modes, really making the players need to use mobility to be able to cover all dropdown points would be much more beneficial to allow characters to actually disengage from anyone at their spawn.
And at the very least provides the illusion of choice with varied exits.
Re: Please re-balance Serpent's Disdain next
First let's pre-empt the argument about player skill you'll probably try to bring up. Do not bring it up. It is not important to me or overall balance discussions. In fact, I think the game takes no skill especially in this patch. So I will pre-empt it now and say do not bring that argument. Now let's go:Sources of status effects are mostly dodgeable. yes. They also come from highly spammable skills and last 20s thanks to Serpent's Disdain. You are not avoiding them and they are too frequently applied in too high of a quantity to be countered by purges.
So you concede that the sources of status effects are dodgeable...but then claim it's oppressive because of the frequency they are applied? Then why don't yoyu dodge? It makes no sense.
I can guess the build is a stam sorc, standing ground, which didn't usually have to deal with DoTs and eliminated people fast. Then this set and that mythic appears and suddenly you have to feel the stress of managing damage from status effects that used to be easily healed through or avoided.
That does not make the set overperforming just because it counters a meta build. It has yet to be demonstrated how.
The frequency of damage being applied? It's the same frequency with or without serpent's disdain. Even the same overlapping effects only have certain instances in an interval of time where they would tick twice, until we start making more build decisions beyobnd Serpent's Disdain . And if someone is putting their entire build into a specialization, is that really a reason to nerf a set? Because it counters your build too well?
It's not adding up logically.This set is also not stopping people from "running around towers with infinite resources", nobody has infinite resources, they are just managing their resources properly with well optimised builds and they will continue to do so whether this set exists or not. I would argue the only thing that stands to stop this gameplay you dislike so much is the vengeance campaign.
I don't like nor dislike players running around. If they want to do it, go ahead. I am not the one trying to get a mid-tier set nerfed because it stops that kind of gameplay and pressures people that don't run enough HoTs or otherwise LoS. The set does not harm my gameplay and does nothing to me. That's why I cannot understand why it does to you and others complaining about it.This set has enabled overpowered builds for a long time, it was just a niche thing not many players knew about.
This set was already overperforming before the new mythic was added, it provided and still provides better debuffs than debuff sets and better pressure than dot sets and also interacts with a number of otherwise non-problematic things such as maarselok and force of nature CP.
This was and is the top choice in multiple categories by a large margin, the new mythic is just making it even worse.
The set was overperforming...because it was overperforming? So you said so, that means it's a fact? Thing is, I don't think it is overperforming. So now, where can you provide proof that it is? I don't mean some guy on the forums agreeing.
The set by itself cannot do anything without the rest of a build. It's not a secret sauce underneath a mountain of cheese on a pizza. It's a mid tier set that only finds use now because of player behavior and overall build decisons. The decisions and behavior being dropping purge, dropping HoTs precisely because DoTs/status damage is not and was not prevalent on live for the past patches.
Also, earlier about purge. Come on, we both know no stam sorc is running purge. Because the skill purge is a waste of a slot and the skill llines that provide it are also waste skill lines due to the nature of PvP (general lack of DoT and sustained damage outside of siege). No one even runs purge on a scribed skill. But of course, we can pretend someone does for argument's sake.
If they purged, then the guy wasted an action to put the same DoTs back on...why isn't the person fighting the Serpent's Disdain user just...you know...doing damage back?
These are all questions that are not being answered, in exchange we just hear that a set is OP because you said so?
All names on this forum are unweighted to me. You want something nerfed, then please bring actual arguments and proof instead of saying it's oppresive but then failing to mention exactly how.
Even Elemental Susceptibility, looking at it with or without Serpent's Disdain, how exactly is it more powerful? Because in some instants of time there will be more than one tick of damage from a status effect? I can achieve the same without Serpent's , so if that is the argument you'll be in for a surprise when the same type of behavior is done without Serpents and much more powerful.
I don't know why OP even said the status effects can be dodged, because no, most status effect sources can not be dodged.
Elemental Susceptibility, the worst offender right now, is entirely undodgeable, and so are status effects caused by dots.

Re: Night Market has made Group Finder come alive
Yeah, it's amazing. Found dozens of groups there and created groups at my own.
Was fun and the people were chill.

Re: Spawn point killing in BGs
Spawn point should not allow players to attack from there, also ZOS should do something about trolls who stall the game, when they are losing. Spawn point is not kicking them down fast enough. It's very common for these trolls to just kill 3 minutes of your time for nothing.
Had one player with bow just sniping people from spawn point half arena away. Kinda unfair if you ask me and when he got eventually kicked down after like 30s, he got one shot, but he is delaying the game

Re: Official Night Market Feedback Thread
Feedback #6.2…
Making the dungeons and trial permanent unlocks would kill off the gameplay loop but the current system makes me feel like I’m wasting my time killing bosses when I already have the keys. My proposal is that the keys should stack up to 3.

Re: Nightmarket Instance full
spartaxoxo wrote: »Yeah the player cap needs to be increased and instances need to be closed once they're emptied so that you don't port into empty ones.
I suspect this is the most popular event they have ever had and their instancing tools weren't prepared for so many doing it at once.
I think it’s actually a different problem.
I was in a full instance over the weekend, and it was nowhere near as much fun. Our guild had two groups of ten or so running and we encountered a random group too, so there were about 30+ in the instance. At that point, everything was dying in seconds and the performance was seriously degrading to the point that we all felt we were disconnecting.
36 is fine for the instances, but the problem is that most instances aren’t getting there.
I think it’s a product of standard game logic - in order to prevent server overload, the game wants to spread players evenly across instances. There are just too many Night Market instances open, meaning each one only has a couple players each.
The logic needs to be adjusted to favor full instances and closing extras to keep the appearance of full instances.
After all, many players are seeing full guild rosters in the Market, and then every instance seems deserted.

Did you watched the BG?
BfB why you have a 35m ranged spamable with no cost.
Dragonfire why you have a 35m ranged spamable that already applies major breach.
You just have to enhance the Status effects it applies. Winters Embrace, Ardent and Stormcalling are the lines you want to run. Slap on Nuntak Plagebreak/Winterborn/Disdain
Re: Pulse Blades
Hi all, I'm fairly new to this game, and this is my first post here. (Only been playing for about a year) I mostly PvP, and I've really been struggling to fight the Pulse Blades players. I'm running 35k health, max resistances, two of the blue defensive CPs, and I'm still being melted. Does anyone know of a viable counterplay to this type of build?
It's a pretty rough situation currently, but there are something you can try. `These are just some ideas that popped into my head. You should try experimenting with everything you can think of. First you could try running something like Undo or Spell wall, but you have to have good reaction time. They are glass cannons, so if you can put literally any pressure on them they will fold. (Long range dots/ fire ones are the best as they usually have Vamp 2 or 4 on) Roll dodge and line of sight are your friends.
