And you know what? That is 100% valid. Wont it be great that you will not be forced into this campaign but can play in Grey Host with the full monty of what the game has available?

Re: Tome Bosses Activity
Since I have all the IA sets and collectibles, I've only been doing IA to get enough Archival Fortunes to buy the purple (and sometimes gold) furnishing plans (and the few monster helmets and shoulder motifs I haven't already bought in there) from Ool.
It'll be easy to get this challenge done in the 70+ days left we have in this season, just by keeping that up.
I do two arcs = 10 bosses without killing the marauder or the side arena.

Re: Did the PTS break?
Hey everyone, apologies for not messaging out the status of PTS yesterday. We were doing some additional testing for things outside of the Update 50 patch and ran into a few issues. We ended up needing to revert something in order to retain the characters copied from week 1 (or any templated characters that were created), but that reversion took several hours and put us into evening hours. The faster alternative would've been to do another character copy from Saturday, which we didn't feel like would be preferred by anyone.
All that to say, the team is back online after getting some rest and we are planning for PTS to be open by noon EDT, barring any additional major issues.

Re: April 20th Vengeance Only..
I don think you've read this threads comments - People are in fact discouraged or mad about Veng being a thing. I understand you also assume myself or others wouldnt hold the same opinion should Trials or Writs go away for week. We would, so your post kinda sums up everything.
You know it all, now let me imagine what I would say about having to take away trials - but they give them some sort of other trial to do for a week, thats kinda like the other trials really watered down and turns out LOTS of people enjoy it. And yes, it sucks not having the original available, but folks will just have to tough it out. And well since you know it all you wouldve already guessed i would say the exact same thing I am saiyng now. Stop crying.
Your example is poor and about as well thought out as your insult at the end. Keep sticking to it though Champ I am sure your skills will come through at some point.

Re: battle grounds are ruined
Just fight or die trying. Especially when people can join mid match. The penalty exists for a reason and you perfectly explained the reason. Either stick around for the whole match or don't que up at all. Also if you do have a problem with DK's then thats on you for not knowing how to counter them (stun+ranged). Also since DKs are legit just fire use fire resistance enchantments on jewelry and dont be a vampire.
Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Challenge Difficulty
I really appreciate that kind of information, makes things a lot easier to discuss knowing what limitations there are. I'll just have to see how the interactions pan out on the live server, I'm several years behind on zone content so I imagine the zones I'll be using this feature in first will be quiet, and I'll enjoy what I can of it. But speaking on technical limitations, I know as far back as the base game, with a good example being the final boss of tempest island, that npcs can have skills they can only use on players with specific conditions, and I was wondering if that was an angle that could be taken to make the encounters more engaging beyond adjusting the damage done/taken sliders.
A bit beyond the scope for this initial implementation but it is something we can look at in the future, especially for things like story boss fights where we know it is limited to you and your group.

Re: April 20th Vengeance Only..
Man you guys are embarassing...
"No ONe Is GoInG To PlAy ThIs WHeN GrEy HoSt is HEre AlSo".... then why are you here, crying about something that you believe will not impact you or your game play?
If people like this style of play - Why are you here? Crying about it as if your opinion should mean they shouldn't enjoy it? Grey Host will be an active campaign, Veng will be an active campaign. Most of you are in here arguing build diversity and blah blah blah, when we all know (myelf included) we are running a combination of the same 6 sets and 5 skill lines.
"VeNg WaS ONlY SuPpOseD tO Be A teSt" you're right, it was. And, well it was enjoyed so much it was able to grow into something A LOT of people enjoy. And you simply cannot handle that.
I hope to many of you arent losing more hair than you should.
@zos Youre doing pretty cool things. Keep up cool things. My friends in here who all run Rallying Cry do not mean any of their nonsense whining. They still enjoy the game.

Idk, maybe test it themselves instead of using unpaid player base to test a concept that most are against.
Perhaps forcing their own employees to test it, instead of us, will give them some actual insight into PVP and they'll learn something? Wishful thinking...
They can never replicate the scenarios you get in live cyro with internal testing. Ever.

And vengeance is 100% nightblades so what is your point?
There will always be a “meta” in every single aspect of the game that people will naturally migrate to. The toxic PvE community is forever reminding of us that: “no you can’t join my raid team because you don’t have an arcanist nor are you parsing 180k dps”.
Your argument that GH is bad because everyone plays the same build while at the same time defending Veng where everyone plays the same build, frankly baffles me.
Thats simply not true. I have seen a huge variety of classes in Vengeance. There are even pure necromancers running around again! Which is simply unheard of in GH.

Did this actually happen? Lol. I'm genuinely asking because I like to play both GH and the Vengeance test but the only ones that were whining were the GH sweats that didn't have their crutches available in Vengeance, lol
Yeah I noticed alot of people complaining that veng was only for zergs and how it was impossible to solo. Then I and a few others had no issues 1vXing and doing all the same things I normally would. I could still pull people into towers or chokeholds to 1vX. I could make a group and kite enemies into seige spots like trapping enemies in holes then oiling them.
Maybe its just because Im an old PvPer who remembers smallman pvping without all of the handholding most "elite" coordinated groups have with their group stacking sets that give them 10x a normal player's stats while fully immune to all CC. IDK it feels like the 2014-2015 era pvp where you needed map knowledge and actual kiting skills.
Vengeance has NEVER felt anything like live Cyrodiil. It's always been a stripped down zerg fest where the only thing that matters is the size of the zerg. Vengeance has never been and never will be anything like live Cyrodiil. That's why vengeance will never be a legitimate preparation for live Cyrodiil as well.
I have seen a lot of 1vxing going on, and small scale as well, so this simply is not true. Cyrodiil was however BUILT for zerging, that was kind of the whole point, so if you see more of that, and you see bigger groups again because the game isnt a slide show, that is a good thing in my book.
Performance has been terrible, and ranged builds are limited to melee range... so whats the point? How is this fun? Guess im not playing ESO for a week then...
28 meters isnt melee range.....
