Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Challenge Difficulty
Tried Vestige for soloing world bosses (base game and DLC).
- What was the most challenging aspect of encounters?
Base game - these feel like some older non-HM vDLC final bosses. Tbh it really depends on the boss but in general they were okay I think.. I didn't find most of them especially challenging.
DLC - they feel like some HM vDLC final bosses where you must stay focused the entire fight and react to every incoming light attack. They feel like bosses now finally.
- Did the risk feel appropriate for the reward?
300 more gold and 3k more exp? Nah
- Did you enjoy the system overall?
It's the best thing ever happened to ESO imo

Re: Nerf to Ansuul’s, Tide-born, and Velothi is gutting my Arcanist build
Those are literally my 3 main set items I run all together on my Arcanist. Who else is in the same boat? Any thoughts and suggestions? Discuss
Any nerf to beam builds is welcome and deserved, what's bad about it?

Re: ToT Vibe Check
I would prefer them to start with toning down the OP cards (Pounce/Larceny, Customs Seizure, Tomeshell).
About concede option: do you mean a different concede option from the one we already have (as in shorter duration)?

Re: It Appears Grey Host and Vengeance Will Exist Side by Side After All. Thoughts?
The queue to GH as the only campaign (besides Vengeance) will be just extreme I think. I don't think it would die, I would imagine it is in even higher demand without alternative campaigns.
Mini GH will be the successor eventually, but we don't know exactly how or what it will solve going from GH --> mini GH.
Will there be alternatives again? Less lag and higher pop? New features and content along side Vengeance?
Everyone that did not ask for Vengeance is potentially in for a period of painful transition. Hopefully there will be clear communication along the way.
Thoughts? For now, as long as I can get in to GH with reasonable queue times I'm fine.
Not a fan of how we are funnelled into Vengeance as the "I am waiting for my GH queue" campaign, but it is what it is.
mini GH is going to be a one keep map as they showed in the livestream. They are fixing the performance server issues in GH by simply cutting the population in half or in thirds again. Basically distribute the lag to different servers.
Veng showed that streamlined skills and effects COULD reduce lag to the point where we could go from a 300 player cap to 900 player cap. Sadly zos is going ahead with the class reworks without streamlining the skills. Likely because it would feel like a step backwards for everyone and players prefer power creep to power reductions.

GH as you know it is going to be forced into the new 1 keep campaign they showcased in one of the previous livestreams. Basically 3 spawns, 1 keep with a river around it and bridges, then a lumber/farm/mine outside the river for side objectives. In the options below the 3rd option is obviously the ideal where we slightly tone back the build system for pvp to become performative......however we already know zos is going with option 2 since they announced the new map and already started working the class reworks BEFORE vengeance testing even concluded.
The dilema is current pvp is already at 1/3 the capacity and still lagging. As the game expands and sets/skills get more complex with more complex animations the performance limitations for one server obviously struggle to handle the new load.
- Zos can leave greyhost as is and inevitably keep reducing cyrodil population to match the performance from the 900-600-300(current)-150-75 until the campaign is literally nonfunctional. We already saw with the u50, nocp, and other vet campaigns that as the population in cyrodil diminishes the keep seige concept falls apart because there is not enough player distribution. In this current state there is no new player entry to pvp except BGs which have no functional MMR ranking and are riddled with smurfing mmr resets weekly.
- Zos creates a new map for pvp based around the ~150 or ~75 playercap and ditches cyrodil except for special events or vengeance to get new people into pvp in some form or another
- Zos could wait for the vengeance tests to be over to rework classes and change skills to be in more streamlined performative ways. Use the PvE and PvP gear split system they made to isolate PvP specific gear which could be tailored for performance, while also driving a whole new economy and separate inventory system that makes it easy for new players or PvE players to get involved without the entry cost burden.
Really saddening to read this cause it’s likely what will happen. It’s a shame the people in charge of PvP never enjoyed PvP the way many of us did/do in Cyro. You don’t know what you got until it’s gone type of thing.
idk its like zos is moving the game more towards a singleplayer coop game feeling and cutting back on all the MMO aspects. For instance even look at building, back in the day youd have 3-4 viable builds per class per stam/mag......nearly 32+ playstyles that were unique. Now adays its the generic acuity+merciless+deep fissure combo.....or I guess DK now. Sure there is visual differences, but everything PLAYS the same.

LMAO "offensive AoE caps"? Tell us you run in a human centipede in Gray Host without telling us you're a ball grouper. See? The highly vocal minority who thinks their silly niche play style actually takes skill.
They want anything and everything removed that might make them struggle just a lil bit, lol.

Re: how to overcome pvp anxiety.
The problem is in pve people are so afraid of dying its practically a mortal sin. Go do any vet daily and you will see people die and rage all the time. People getting so upset they log out for the day. You'll see someone fail to block a simple mechanic from 2014 and blame everyone else. Chewing the whole group out.
Just go make a basic attempt at a build and go play bgs where there's practically no consequences and quick learning. The only important part is golding your weapons.
General guidelines for the rest of the build
It can help to build in more speed at first to make up for bad pvp awareness. So you can throw on swift jewelry and just keep up your major expedition buff.
A major issue new players have is simply never blocking. Some people get into the habit of spamming roll too. Personally I block about 80% of the time I am on the backbar with sword and shield.

- monomyth
- bloodspawn
- Rallying Cry backbar + 2 jewlery + waist
- Shattered Fate Frontbar sharpened
General guidelines for the rest of the build
- Make sure your chest is a heavy piece. Then do 3 heavy 3 medium 1 light (rallying cry is your light waist)
- Run 7 impen or 6impen+reinforced heavy chest
- Jewlery should be infused with weapon or spell damage enchants
- mundus should be shadow, because its literally two mundus bonuses in one.
- Food go with jewels of misrule and if you have too much sustain change it to a more focused damage/sustain one like dubious camoran or go completely to a tristat like sugar skulls.

Re: Earning Gold
I farm the newer dlc dungeons I've done on hard mode for motifs. Easy 50-100k+ if the queue isn't fill with new players.
Watching the radar for specific resources and hunting mudcrabs it ok, mudcrabs can be over farmed/crowded at popular areas.
I have a few places I hunt treasure chests and heavy sacks but that can be heavy rng. If there is something to farm between like bosses or resources, that helps.
Use up excessive amounts of provisioning material and sell food to merchant. I freed up some mules making 5g stuff. Unless you do this from time to time, you probably have more than you'll ever use on writs or combat.
Unpopular, but fishing still nets perfect roe, with the last event the market may be saturated. Positive thing is people use it a lot, especially high end raiders. I had been selling 5 at a time at 38k per roe.
Imperial sewers nets some decent money too, just bank your tel var and go at non-prime time hours, unless you're ready.
Lots of ways, find what you enjoy most and don't burn out.
