While I agree with that, the problem is that most of the comparatively few players who want crossplay are console players wanting to switch to PC without having to buy the game again and start from scratch. If ZOS had been able to offer free account transfers from console to PC there wouldn't have been calls for crossplay.
My concern is for those console players who don't want to get involved in crossplay but will end up being very lonely on console.
Meanwhile it's clear from the announcement that we're all going to have to put up with a lot of additional crossplay-related downtime over many months - quite possibly a year or more - before crossplay goes live, assuming it does.
I may have understood the wrong ting but shoulden't this new implementation allow players on all platforms to play togheter without a transfer?
This sounds demanding since it would require all the megaservers to be fused somehow... so i may be wrong.
Yes in theory to playing together without account transfers, but that doesn't mean all console players will want to play with PC players (and vice versa) because we don't yet know how it will actually work in practice. Different guilds and traders, different economies and I imagine probably different addons - how will that work out, and what about different populations across the servers, what servers will this happen on - special crossplay servers or instancing or what? What about competitive things like leaderboards?

Re: Is it time to get rid of roles on Dungeon Finder? (At least for normal mode)
I love and respect 'the holy trinity', tank dds and healer.
Since we got the OP Arcanist the group balance in dungeons changed drastically. As a healer myself I see a lot of beamers running ahead of everyone in a dungeon as if they are playing solo. No respect for the tank, no waiting for the newbie who might be picking up their quest. It's a total lack of consideration for anyone else in the group.
There are achievements for no death speed runs and i often wonder if it all started there...players trying to speed run everything.
I don't know what the answer to this is but im old school and i would hate it if all 3 roles became morphed into one solo type build for everyone in group content. Seems like so many players want to change eso into some other game.
As a healer that plays with her tank hubby this post really upsets me cos it makes me feel that we are bejng made redundant. I already encourage my partner ( who recently returned to eso)to hurry up in dungeons when he tanks so the dds dont run ahead of him when we do our random dailies.
We are very grateful for IA and the dungeons we can do together sometimes without other players cos at least we get to enjoy the game without speeding all the time.
I do need to add that there are many considerate players we have been fortunate enough to group with that have been a pleasure to play with. They move at a steady pace and are considerate of others in the group..they allow the tank to do the pulls and dont play as if they are soloing the dungeon.
I cant change people so i adjust, adapt and accept but i do pray that eso doesnt change to the point where it's a game i no longer recognise. Im very dedicated to this game and yes we needed some fresh changes and i have welcomed them all thus far but lets keep the 3 roles as they are thank you.

Re: Is it time to get rid of roles on Dungeon Finder? (At least for normal mode)
No. This would make the speed runner problem even worse. And what if you get 4 lvl 15s?
I've had runs where I was the only player in the dungeon with CP, and have talked both healers and tanks through some of the basics of those roles. I've been both the tank and healer (at the same time) with 3 non-CPs learning what a light attack is while in a random normal.
Despite random normals being used as a speed run transmute farm for many players, they still play an important role for everyone else.

Re: Is it time to get rid of roles on Dungeon Finder? (At least for normal mode)
No. Of course not!
What’s the core of an “MMO” that so many players talk about in ESO? In dungeons, the game is supposed to need 1 tank, 1 healer, and 2 DPS, right? Isn’t that the core of ESO?
In trials, it should be 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 8 DPS. Isn’t that the core of ESO in trials?
Why should we be asking to change the game’s core even more? ZOS has already damaged the essence of its own game with all these high DPS numbers. We don’t even need tanks or healers in most veteran dungeons, and almost all veteran trials only require 1 tank, 1 healer, and 10 DPS.
All this nonsense about high numbers is changing the core of ESO, and you want to change it even more? Why?
ZOS should bring DPS down and make roles essential to the game again instead of excluding or killing them.
How does that make any sense otherwise? Trade the core, the essence of ESO, for numbers? NO.
Oh boy...

Unless...

... our new class is going to be like Rambo, with an M60 machine gun and hand grenades and instead of mounts, we ride around on a T-54 to kill Z’Maja, while the healer’s ultimate calls in a B-1 bomber.

Re: Update 50 PTS – Week 2 Summary
Why don't i have any issues killing all classes including pure sorcs as a WW then? An avg ww build with decent understanding does 10k dps easily. Every class that is not a higher dps ww just spams heals until they run out of res, because they cant compete. Keep in mind ww is doing all this while in +40k hp and armor. And ww is missing 33% dmg even.

Werewolf’s win condition is either overwhelm your opponents healing or run them out of resources, and it looks like ZOS is giving everyone infinite sustain so that is not going to be an option for long. The DPS needs to be higher than normal because we have no way to close out a fight other than to land a fear when someone is low and hope they don't have a cleanse. Our main 200% execute scaling spamable is averaging ~4.5k Damage when you combine both hits on Pelicans build.
Also IMO the vast majority of the issue is coming from the insane sustain and large amount of healing coming from the Conservation of Energy sorc mastery. Its allowing us to run 0 sustain and do silly things like use armor pots, spam roll dodge, bash weave every ability, etc. This all heavily contributes to the power of WW and enables us to go full offensive with no drawbacks. When we disabled the masteries we started losing to sorcs and DKs, even a warden came close.

I mean if a team that doesn't know about pvp develops a pvp mode of course it attracts players that don't know about pvp.
It does seem that it's the same people that call ToT PvP are developing vengeance.
By the same measure: there's better PvP in this forum than in Vengeance.

Alright bud and in the meantime any other pvper will tell you not everyone posts their builds specifically because there is build diversity and not everyone plays the same. Find out for yourself what works for you, it took a lot of us years.
