Hi ZOS,
Stop doing this, the majority of your PvP base does not want this washed game mode. We don’t want to contribute anything to your “testing” because we are against it. Frankly, it’s a waste of time. With all the good that’s being done recently in the studio this is the remaining outlier of a team clinging to one last bad decision. It feels like we’re just being reminded to stay skeptical of the PvP dev team’s vacuum decision making philosophy.
*edit*
Can we test PvE Vengeance on April 20th too?
ZOS, I would like to personally thank you for continuing to develop Vengeance and not give up on bringing some much-needed change(s) to Cyrodiil PvP in this game. Cyrodiil PvP in and of itself is not friendly to the casual gamer, it's easy to see, as well as all the challenges facing regular Cyrodiil gameplay, including things like ball groups, emp exploiting, PvP Guilds being noninclusive and people dying so extremely fast with strong builds, I mean like it doesn't even matter. Something had to give and Vengeance is part of this. It is a natural response to how bad things have been in Cyrodiil for the last several years. That said, please know that many of us enjoy Vengeance, we like having alternatives, Vengeance is something that brings everyone on a more level, more equitable playing field and does not implicitly favor a few people who themselves are guilty of repeatedly running exploitive gameplay, using sets like RoA and Winterborn, among others, and in my opinion are abusive towards their fellow gamers. We're all there to have fun not talk about real world stuff and not be fed humble pie cause 5 to 15 people want to play a role and abuse people's time for hours.
You cannot have results like this, again, for years and not have some kind of equal and opposite effect to try and balance things. It's good to think of other people once in a while and many of the exploiters in Cyrodiil only care about themselves, especially in the Guilds. To them the rest of us are invisible, which I don't know how many of you has been in a war or been in the military but that is not how it works. So anyways, I respectfully disagree with @SneaK, I wish Vengeance a successful test and look forward to whatever we can use to make Cyrodiil a classier, more respectable and equitable place for PvPers to spend their hard-earned time and money. Some have had their way for so long and they just, don't want to give it up and have to work hard, to actually learn how to fight in PvP without a machine-proc or group mechanic playing for them, which places them on a more level PvP experience along with the rest of us. Rather than 2 factions on an entire server dying to (1) Emp or a Ball Group for hours. This is immoral, it is a display of the worst type of behavior we've seen before in other now-dead games and those games are dead for good reason. It is my sincere hope that ESO never ends up like them.
Once again thank you.
No names were shown. Do you see any naming or shaming?
The insulting word is visible on the screenshot. From what I know, in the USA, even writing out unaccepted words to factually discuss them is frowned upon. They get replaced by "r-word", "a-word", "l-word", "z-word" (making those up right now as I have no clue) or whatever instead, and people seem to know what it means. Which, honestly, is super confusing for people in other cultures where words aren't taboos themselves and the context is the thing that matters (also, the notion you must describe a thing as clearly as possibly to discuss it), but it's how it is - different cultures, different habits.
