What's different?
They’re not as good and can’t take full advantage of WW? Doesn’t mean WW isn’t strong, it just means most people are not good

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.

Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Combat Refresh: Werewolf
I would love a video showing prior to setup on both sides plus duel itself!
It wasn't a duel. We both stood still parsing each other like parsing a dummy, each rotating through offensive and defensive rotations. The goal was to test maximum DPS on WW and maximum HPS on my Sorc. As seen from the screenshots, WW sustained a 10.2k DPS in nearly 2 minutes of dueling, and I sustained 10k+ HPS.
In an actual duel that DPS would most likely be around 8.5k-9k (accounting for blocking and roll dodges), which is still an absurd amount. Keep in mind, WW is still missing the 33% WD modifier due to a bug.Please also include the 'generic meta DK build' for comparison if you do this (Pyrebrand DK as you mentioned it is darn-close to the wolf spec you're getting hit by) so that we have something for reference as a base to compare to (I still hate that player skill and latency can cause discrepancy but it should be sufficient for highlighting these potential issues never the less.).
The generic meta build is just Zaan + Pyrebrand + Vate ice staff and the new DK class masteries. That one does around 8k DPS, but has more burst.
Both specs are currently overtuned on PTS. Interestingly enough, that DK spec cannot kill WW because they're stacking 40k+ HP.I'm sorry but no, just standing around hitting each other in a specific rotation without ACTUALLY dueling is NOT proof that WW is overperforming. You can't claim that treating each other like a dummy is any sort of actual testing like a real duel would be. Just like an actual dummy it doesn't take into effect actually moving around, blocking, CC, terrain, or anything else that would matter in a real fight.Wuffy here clearly just dont want his fav playstyle nerfed. The damage WW is putting in PvP is ridiculous and clearly needs a change. @Wuffy stop demanding proof from others. Unless you go and duel React while he plays WW and you try to survive it and also try and kill him on a normal PvP build and show us video PROOF that WW isnt as strong as he says then clearly WW needs a nerf as everything posted points that WW is absolutely broken in PvP.
And yes, we ARE allowed to demand proof that something is overperforming when that thing has been ass for so long and has only been in testing for a few days but people are already shouting for nerfs. Don't tell us not to ask for it, that only makes it seem like you're afraid of being proven wrong. Also dude has said several times iirc that they'd be happy to duel so I don't get the point in bringing that up. There has been no viable proof otherwise because again, a single duel isn't anywhere near enough of a sample size to base claims off of, ESPECIALLY if it wasn't even a real duel.
I quite literally have no bandwidth to argue with you, not because I can’t provide evidence, but rather because I know exactly how this turns out. I post evidence like I always do, you people try to analyze and nitpick it, while providing nothing of your own, then patch goes live and threads start popping up CONFIRMING my original statement. It has happened with Hardened Ward Sorc and DK, and every single patch there is always people like you who will argue to the bone.
If you want video evidence, just come to Riften and duel us on PTS.

Re: Fashion Megathread
Just to clarify, Imgur isn't banned in the UK. They were being investigated for the miss-handling of children's data by ICO. Imgur themselves then blocked access to the UK when the ICO fined them with the argument of "Well you cant fine us if we don't operate in the UK." They're not banned, and the exit from the UK wasn't centered on the Online Safety Act. The OSA just gave them an excuse. They're just irresponsible with user data. Also, ICO still wants them to pay the fine.
For all of our American friends who continue to use it on a forum that allows uploads direct to posts, just know we Brits can't see your images of your well dressed characters. This is what we all see in the UK:

Werewolf Form, Black looks too similar to Werewolf Form, Ashen
The black fur color looks too similar to the ashen fur color. Could the black fur color be darkened a bit more, or given different colored eyes? I don't want the white spots on the black fur like on the old model, but currently there's really no point to using ashen over black if they look so similar:
Re: A social issue people are reluctant to bring up
And then you kick him from the group,problem solved! Where’s the toxicity in that?
Yes.
What are looking for? The game to remove tools that people are using for both good and bad purposes? Any system can be gained and made toxic. You had stated earlier in this thread about DPS numbers. So those who use it for self improvement should not have the tools because others use it in ways you deem inappropriate? I wouldn't want that.
Final Fantasy XIV
- addons are restricted or banned
- No DPS Sharing
- does NOT have built-in combat logs like ESO
- and players still clear all content
The irony in ESO is wild.
- We’re not allowed to post a simple game screenshot on the forums if it shows another player’s name, all to avoid shaming and protect the CoC.
- But in‑game, ZOS gives players every tool needed to create the exact shaming and gatekeeping they claim to prevent.

Re: U50 Bug Reports for Thieves Guild Questline
Hey all,
Thanks for the continued feedback and reports. We’re still working through everything, getting it sorted and prioritized, and already have a number of fixes lined up for PTS 2. If you don’t see a specific fix in there yet, don’t panic. PTS 3 is usually where a lot of player-reported fixes start landing due to timing.
As always, all the posting and reporting is very much appreciated.

Re: It Appears Grey Host and Vengeance Will Exist Side by Side After All. Thoughts?
Whats happening has happened several times already.
So zos has the following choices
- Zos balloons the game code wise, or set wise or skill wise. This is the yugioh effect where much like the card game, as they release new content effects get crazier and crazier. Cards go from a simple no description, to a one sentence effect, to a one paragraph effect, to multiple paragraph effects, to multiple card effects, to full deck effects. ESO is no different if you compare early on skills and newer skills that have multiple paragraph explanations proccing several passives and proc sets at a time. Now we have multiple skill effects like crux and corpse system intertwining >>>>>> Inevitably this induces performance problems as we saw in veng1&2 which was successful at showing how even simple skill design got us back to 900pop and then in veng2 having more complicated aoe group smartheals and effects could induce lag stutters.
- Cyrodil due to the increased performance demand lags worse and worse
- Zos fixes it by reducing the cyrodil population cap instead of un-bloating the game. It was 900 at first, then it became 600, now its at 300 on live. At a certain point the mapsize is FAR too large for the player cap and the gamemode of cyrodil keep seiging stops working. Which brings us to today
So zos has the following choices
- Leave cyrodil as is and it will collapse due to lowered population much like how the u50, nocp, and 7day campaigns did.
- Rework current cyrodil gamemode like how Planetside2 dealt with lower game populations. You would do things like grey out parts of the map and create a rotation. Things like after taking a keep it couldnt be flipped back for 30mins. Only frontline keeps could be seiged on a contested transitus of your faction. Keeps couldnt be flipped during off hours to prevent night capping the map. etc.
- Hold off on class/skill changes until vengeance testing is flushed out to redesign the game in a smart way.
- Give up on cyrodil as we know it and make a new smaller map campaign while continuing to balloon the game's design into nonsense. GH pvp would transition to this new map. Vengeance will probably be the only cyrodil experience in the future. Maybe zos would keep a live cyrodil campaign, but I highly doubt they would leave a competitor to their new concept mini seige campaign.
