I have to 100% agree with this!!
I would add to that my actual account names too! I presume it will not be possible to have multiple accounts with the same names, who get to keep theirs and who loses out would for me be a very big issue!
I suspect this is a very big part of the issues they need to resolve before implementing cross play.
I don't know how they could resolve this but our user id and character names are probably the most important parts of our accounts for a lot of players.
Besides the name issue, PC and Console have very different ways of doing many things. I can foresee a lot of conflict arising from this.
By the time they'd get around to releasing crossplay, they'd have time to align whatever it is you're referring to. I mean, adding mods to consoles is really a first, GIANT step towards crossplay, if we're being honest, and that's already up and running well, from what I can tell.
Re: What is the point of having Patch Notes if massive changes go undocumented?
@ZOS_Kevin Thanks for clarifying the new changes, its very welcome news! Could you please tell us if any of the numerous posts requesting info regarding bringing back a three team format Battleground in addition to the two team Bg format has received any consideration? Or if any three team Bg events are being planned for the future? We'd really appreciate any info you could provide on that subject please.
We have given that feedback about bringing back three team BGs. Not sure where the team has landed on this. But we'll ask during our check-in call with them next week.

Its killing the game for a lot of newer players when you have us sweaty players going 50/0 every match because we are stuck being qued against these people every other month.
We have shared the note on MMR reset in the past. Happy to do so again. My understanding is additional tech work needs to be done to make that happen. But I do not have a status on that right now.
Please do keep passing this on. You can trace 99% of peoples complaints about BGs to how mismatched theyve become since they started resetting MMR in U44. The answer we were given in the Q&A was that they were resetting MMR to lineup with the weekly leaderboard (which makes no sense as the resets are monthly).
Resetting MMR and mismatching lobbies is essentially a meat grinder for new players and frustrating for everyone.
We'll flag this again in our next meeting with the PvP team.
Re: Stone Atronachs
Regarding the challenge of lots of players competing at the Murkmire WB, healing is great since you get credit for kills by allies you are healing. My healer literally just spams heals over time and gets credit for the totems killed by others. A win-win arrangement since she is not contributing to the excessive dps that results from too many players.
Re: [request] Make pets faster
I never have pets out because I feel bad at how hard they try to keep up with us. I would be more likely to have a pet with me if they didn't have to frantically chase behind us every time we mount up.
Re: Public formal confirmation that griefing and bullying isn't against Code of Conduct
The reality:
DPS sharing addons and ESO Logs are destroying ESO’s community.
This is not true. Console lived without add-ons for years and let me tell you, even without them it's easy to tell whether someone is pulling their weight in a dungeon or not.
From your defensiveness towards DPS checks, I'll go ahead and assume your parse is on the lower side. Assuming this, let me ask you a question:
Why should others carry your shortfall in veteran DLC dungeons and also be considered toxic if they either don't want to do so, or are struggling to make up for the difference and would rather have someone who will actually do 50% of the required DD job?

Very intelligent take from you, thank you for bumping the thread! Can you please explain the learn to play issue with being desynced and not able to control your character? Thank you!
It's not very clear what you're talking about. Desynchronization is more of a problem with internet connections and large groups of players. You always have control over your character. Is someone else controlling your character?
The problem of lagging when there are a lot of players shouldn't be solved by cutting out mechanics. Microsoft should ask a question about the competence of the current development team.
Do you have control over where your character is moving while you are desynced from a jav? The answer is no, you literally do not. Your character will be stuck in place, from your own perspective you are moving but if you are in group with anyone else they can see you in the same position until you are no longer positionally desynced . You have zero control during that moment of where you are going, and it can last over 10 seconds which is a surefire way to die.
As I've said multiple times in this thread which you haven't read, I agree, I would prefer a fix, I would prefer the problem actually be addressed. Not all abilities that interact with movement cause desync the same way, so changing it shouldn't be impossible, but they aren't going to, and if they aren't going to I'd rather it just function as a regular CC than bug someone's character.
The problem is with Cyro and large groups. These problems don't exist on BG. Solve the underlying issue rather than shifting it to the mechanics. If the development team is unable to fix it, then there is also a problem with the development team.
You aren't saying anything. What are you asking to do, fire the dev team? Your responses are lacking in any sort of real world solutions and applications. You've brought them up multiple times. They are not going to fire the entire dev team because there is desync in cyro. All that needs to happens is a removable of the issues that cause desync.
I agree with what they're saying. It's not nothing. It's just as valid as anything you've posted in this thread.
It's valid to blame the dev team and use that as an excuse to why we shouldn't address certain issues outside of fire the dev team or make the dev team better at their jobs? Wonderful, I'll jot that down. As to your prior comment, whatever it's referred to as doesn't matter when the skills provide a more free pull than the set ever will, and are the actual problem that this tread is referring to, which everyone seems to ignore, DESYNC ISSUES. The skills cause them far more than the sets.

Re: ROA changes

People say things like this because they think it is going to make ball groups just go away from PvP. I hate to break it to everyone but they could get rid of DC and ROA and there will still be ball groups. We will still find alternative sets. You're not going to b e able to get rid of a core group of 12 people who take pride in their comp.
No. That is not what I said or why I said it. Please try to be less presumptuous in the future.
I don't have a problem with comped groups. I used to run in one of the strongest comp groups in Cyrodiil. (Tyr) But that was before Dark Convergence and RoA. We could be killed with massive coordination and some well placed negates. Changes since then have made ball groups nearly invincible and 100x more trollish.
I don't want ball groups abolished or gone. I want them to be more fair and manageable.
