Re: ESO Leadership Roundtable Discussion
I can pretty much only agree with what others have commented before. The effort to communicate is appreciated, especially during the difficult period people at zenimax are currently going through, but:
- An acknowledgement that the game isn't in the best state it's ever been would have gone a long way. The whole sunshine and rainbows vibe this article portrays doesn't exactly line up with the reality players are currently experiencing.
- There's nothing concrete in the article, only buzzwords, platitudes and promises we've been reading for years. It sounds a lot like "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" to me.

Re: ESO Leadership Roundtable Discussion
Also, I'm sorry for the loss of your cats! I know how much joy a pet can bring to one's life and how hard it is when they go. I still think about some of doggos, even though it's been years since they passed. I hope the cat distribution system brings a new cat to you when if or when you're ready for it!
Re: is there a way to turn off the compass distances?
I would also like the distances to be removed. Why are changes like this never optional as a default?

You are not a bot. All of this is my dream, and you are all simply figments of my imagination.

Still dying to it, is a you issue ngl. Good nerf
Not true. RoA still breaks the rules of CC immunity and pulls from a crazy big area, far more than any other set. RoA can still pull through wall, down from the balcony etc.
Free pull sets simply shouldn't exist in a PvP environment. It's bad game design.

It's an entire battlefield. It shouldn't exist at all. Much less every 8 seconds. Much less with that radius, much less with the rule breaking mechanic.
It's just downright bad.
Its almost like 5 piece sets shouldnt have proc effects......let alone proc effects that are larger or more grandiose than most ultimates in the game.
We wonder why new players can't understand combat and never learn pvp. It was much easier back in the day when players just had to learn maybe the 60 or so skills. Now we have maybe 10x the animations on characters to the point where you cant see anything going on.
Ideally only important animations like CC or ultimates would be prominent. This is why originally skills you unlock early on were simple animations designed for spam without bloating the game. The final skills like streak were the more costly big animation skills that were hard to spam.
A bit of a rant. But here it goes.
Zos implements things like this to make, in their words, pvp 'less intense' for Timmy and Tammy Tamriel who are pve focused non-sweats who want to have the feeling of accomplishment in pvp without putting in the time to get gud.
Dark Convergence was their first foray. This wasn't enough so they made an even worse version called ROA.
They did this with 2 team bgs as well. Suffice it to say that Timmy and Tammy have a harder time in this new format. It's less intense though, but only because they cant leave spawn and actually compete.
This philosophy failed.
THIS
PHILOSOPHY
FAILED
In fact this philosophy is insidious. It has caused a downfall of eso pvp and why I often refer to it as a circus sideshow now... because that's what zos has turned pvp into in their efforts to make pvp 'less intense'.
It needs to stop and the changes made to this end, like roa, DC and 2 team battlegrounds, all need to be removed so pvp can be fun and COMPETITVE again.
.
Pvp should be intense. It is competitive.
Re: ROA changes
Yeah that's the #1 rule breaker that everyone hates and asked them to change. Class skills being special rule breakers was okay but why the ever living hell does this game need rule breaking proc sets? It doesn't. It's dead now.The set states that the set does not grant immunity to control, which is a feature of the set.

I remember raving to my friend about why ESO battlegrounds were better than WoW's 2 faction battlegrounds.
The next thing I know... ESO took away the beloved 3-way battlegrounds.

ZOS: Your new approach and creativity to skill styles is AMAZING
Its AMAZING that you explore more creative variants to skill styles - not only changing the color but the theme, creature, animation etc.!! It allows for so much more detailed character fantasy! Continue on that path please even accelerate it!!!!
Same for the classless system with subclassing - I would even love if at some point we abandon classes altogether and move to a purely skill line based system with maybe class ideas serving only new players as starting guidelines (I also think a purely skill based system would be much easier to balance).
