Re: [REQUEST] Permanent Vengeance Test Campaign
Well, at least you are realizing that vengeance is popular with the PvE community. The PvP community almost without exception hates vengeance. People who like PvP are already playing PvP. Vengeance will not, ever, under any circumstances, bring new players to ESO. It will do the opposite. It will drive away the few PvP players left.
And to answer your question, the PvE players populated vengeance because there was an associated Golden Pursuit. Once they had their pursuit completed they left and never came back.
However I try and turn it around, I fail to comprehend what exactly is the problem with Vengeance being popular with PvEers? More players trying PvP is a good thing. If both modes exist at the same time, people will naturally progress towards the 'real' PvP (which is apparently only on GH), so they can enjoy the prestige of playing a veteran mode. PvP needs fresh blood.
If both modes are available at the same time, why would GH PvPers leave? Is it because 'real' PvPers are afraid that Vengeance will remove all the easy kills from GH, and PvPers will actually have to fight one another instead of enjoying the easy farming of PvEers that boosts many an ego?
And why hate something that isn't even finished yet? That's a bit premature imo.
That's because you're not a PvP player.
The problem is that ZOS is acting like their intention is to make vengeance the only PvP option in Cyrodiil just like they made 2 team BG's the only option.

I noticed your involvement in our forums community a lot and I really appreciate you. Thank you for your service here on our forums.
You know this is his job right? He's paid to do this.
Not everyone does the job well. Kevin does.
Re: Vengeance and population
This is how a healthy map looks, and it is due to balanced populations. Yesterday, PC EU, each faction stood at 2 bars, AD briefly at 3 bars, but the other two factions were probably not that far away.
Factions having more or less the same number of players each, it is impossible for one of them to run in one huge megazerg. They have to break up the blob to defend/attack several objectives at the same time. Fights are spread across the map, and this is important performance-wise. Also, playing on such a map is a lot more fun.
ZOS needs to implement dynamic queue locks so there is no 3 bars vs. 1 bar situation that is detrimental to players' experience. @ZOS_Kevin @ZOS_GinaBruno
Um, No. How are guilds going to play their official guild raids with your proposal? I'm sick of non pvp players trying to dictate how to improve PvP. If ya'll had relevant and viable suggestions that would be one thing, but you don't.
Re: SOLO players, the recent poll that Zeni made, made me wonder, how do you feel about subclassing?
I miss the traditional roles personally. I made one of each class to master them all as best as possible. Now one character can do everything. It's just more raising the ceiling or lowering the floor class techniques to keep the perpetual treadmill of progress going. This one is one tired hamster of hamster wheels.

There might be a survivorship bias. Most people sticking with the game seem to like it. At the same time, player population is at its lowest point in 8 years. Those who left or didn't come back might not like it that much.

The addition of Fatecarver to my stamblade makes the class feel powerful again in more difficult content, and without having to get sweaty doing a complicated rotation. Please don't ruin it now.
How many NB skills are you actively using in that build? Do you just have them there to passively buff the arc skills? Because then it's not really a NB build (and it's one of my issues with subclassing right now: the assassination line has become a passive buff to flail and the arc/templar beams).

Re: So i think this undaunted celebration promotes the bad behavior most of us hate: speed running
Why? Requiring players to kill all bosses will not stop them from speedrunning. They will still rush to all the bosses and you'll still get pulled to them. Besides, there's no evidence that most hate speed running. The only time there are speed running complaints is during the undaunted event, and the majority of the time, it's from a player who has been playing the game for years and is in a base game normal dungeon like FG1. If you're queuing for a random normal without any DLC dungeons during the undaunted event, you should fully expect every run is going to be a speedrun. The enemies in these dungeons do next to no damage and die in a couple of hits, and there is a ton of standing around because of dialogue . It's a huge waste of time to go 1 trash pack at a time, catch your breath, search every nook and cranny for a chest that gives nothing since it's base game, and then head onto the next trash pack. If the complaint is about the quests, you can port to the dungeon from a wayshrine, pick up the quest, exit, use the wayshrine to go to the next dungeon, and then queue. FG2 is the only base game dungeon that I know of that can be failed if you're too fast because you can't interact with the cages in combat, and heading to the area with the second cage will despawn the first. The same with the third despawning the second. The rest will automatically update the quest progression with each boss kill.

Re: PTS Participation & Experience Survey
I'm a PC player, but I'd really love to see console players get access to PTS, for a reason that I don't think I've really seen discussed.
Right now, any console players that are interested in creating addons for console need to re-putchase the game on PC to be able to efficiently create addons. They need to pay for the privilege of volunteering their time to make the game better for other players. That's a pretty high barrier. Allowing console players into PTS would remove it, and we'd likely see a lot more console add-ons and ports of PC addons.
Personally, if I'd needed to buy the game again, Lazy Writ Crafter would never have existed. (At least, from me)
