The skill use within the build is also vital, these folks are using specific skills, in specific situations, that keep them alive or offer huge burst damage in combination with the sets I eluded to earlier.
Also, speed buffs with line of sight mechanic exploitation. You may think 6 people are doing damage to them the reality is its probably less cos they are line of sighting, dodging, blocking etc.
Frankly I find the 1vX playstyle deeply boring for anything more than a short spell. I also find it quite immersion breaking, cos 1 player running around a stone for 10 mins chassed by 6 or more people who cant kill them, is just silly. But each to their own.
I like to break those upA nice bow gank followed by bow ulti, executed in quick succession, at a point when the 1vXer drops lower on health, as they do periodically before regaining quickly... but you time it right, its good bye 1vXer and its incredibly satisfying
Yes, winning a 5v1 is definetly boring cause its super easy and not a challange at all.
But sniping and dropping a bow ult on someone that is already fighting outnumbered is clearly a satisfying tactic.
..... The attitude of some ppl.
@Artorias24 Indeed, the attitude of some people...
You do you.
I passed no comment on skill requirements for either play style. I merely commented that running around and around a rock with a ton of health, resistances and self buffing/healing, until your ulti is ready and your stacks are up so you can burst one of the X down, that just doesnt appeal to me. Its boring and looks like a Benny Hill skit.
I find killing a 1vX player, particularly via bow gank playstyle, incredibly satisfying, thanks
Re: There're some unnecessary contributors to more server lag that can be removed & make players happier
Let´s try remove all deer and critters from Cyrodiil first and let´s see if that works!
And the farm nodes/fishing nodes. TBH, I see nobody fishing in cyrodil and nobody goes there to farm. Might as well remove the PVE style quests while we're at it and make Cyrodil a dedicated PVP zone.
Re: Fengrush was 100% right about the cross healing being one of the contributors to lag in Cyrodiil.

There I said it.
If too many complex calculations are causing issues... get more processing power...
Required processing power does not necessarily scale linearly. If calculations are proportional to square of number of players playing, doubling number of players would need quadrupling server power.
So quadruple the power. My point remains the same. Its great that work is being done to mitigate laag/performance pinch points... but ultimately a big investment in server power would surely mitigate similar or my suspicion is, a LOT more laag/performance issues.
I am more than happy to hear from more learned folks on the technical issues if my thoughts are not practical. it just strikes me as rather obvious - if the issues is multiple, complex calculations slowing the server down, wouldnt more server power help...
Re: Daily Crafting Writ Guide
Low population "town" so fast login load times
Definitely out of the way.. most of the time I'm spending on this is in the loading screen, so if it's consistently faster, even by 20-30 seconds.. that's a huge time saving.
No guild traders
Ah yes, one of other nice perks of Vivec City. One of my favourite traders spots
I'll definitely try out Velyn Harbor. Might be worth the quest gate for alts. Thanks for the tips!
Re: Fengrush was 100% right about the cross healing being one of the contributors to lag in Cyrodiil.
Ability lag is really bad right now, I don't know what he's talking about. Maybe one night he was on it was better but overall this test has been crap.

Only if it was that simple. ZoS are trying to fix the performance the last 2 years and I cannot deny that they try. It is not successfully but they try. If you calculate how much money were wasted in these tries (in form of salaries, missing opportunity to use these developers for something else, losing customers because of bad performance and so on). Dont you think that the people on top will not calculate how much it will cost to increase the server power vs these attempts? I really doubt that the best servers will cost more than what ZoS spent in the last 2 years.
Re: Western Skyrim: Now a dead zone?
Harrowstorms should be hard and the loot should be more commensurate with the effort.
But where are all the players who said dragons were too easy in groups and soloing them was their only challenge???
I’m actually serious. Where are all the people who ripped me apart for asking that dragons scale even a little bit as Elsweyr is now dead. Shouldn’t they be in W Skyrim enjoy soloing or small groups at Harrowstorms?
This isn’t bashing, I’m pointing out a forum fallacy that “players want insanely difficult overland challenge.” Harrowstorms are the very definition of insanely difficult overland challenge. Why do I ride up to so many harrowstorms with no players, but several bosses already waiting for someone to engage?
And please don’t try to solo a HS then ride away without calling it in zone. That just leaves multiple bosses to spawn at once for the next group.
Re: ZOS: URGENT PLEA ABOUT ABUSIVE COMMENTS on ZONE CHAT ...extremely upsetting.
Sorry this happened to you, OP. Good job reporting them -- I hope ZOS takes it seriously and does something about these creeps. Hate speech certainly *does* hurt, and should not be ignored.
As for the people lecturing you about what you should and shouldn't bring up on these forums, they are the ones I'd ignore, personally. You did the right thing.

Re: Western Skyrim: Now a dead zone?
I feel Blackreach is one of the best zones in the game. Amazing atmosphere, and lots of huge caves with tunnels. I do agree the map and questpointers should be alot clearer though. When I ever happen to have time, I'm going to hang out there! Which doesn't ever really happen, sadly.I really dislike the Blackreach underground section. It's a dark, gloomy maze with high and low areas that are difficult to maneuver. The map isn't very useful in showing clear paths. The only time I spent down there was to complete the parts of the main quest that happened there.
Re: ZOS: URGENT PLEA ABOUT ABUSIVE COMMENTS on ZONE CHAT ...extremely upsetting.
Sorry to hear you had to go through that.
Out of curiousity, did this happen on console or PC?
Ty for your support happened on NA/PC
