Crown/gold exchange should have never been a thing. It's literally ZOS selling gold.
Re: How is DPS this low on CP 500+ toons?
I tank...I am a pretty terrible DPS in general....but sometimes I try just to see. Last night, I equipped my tank with Leeching, Bahraha's curse, and Zaan. My "rotation" was limited to a single bar and consisted of Trap Beast(unmorphed) for the DOT(my weapon crit was 20% and weapon damage somewhere around 1700) followed by razor caltrops, light attack, noxious breath, light attack, venomous claws, and heroic slash. Ult was standard of might.(no CP changes, still specced for pure tank) I tried this out a couple different ways against Short Tusk world boss(decent test since you have to block sometimes and he will sometimes block your heavy attacks, messing up your sustain). I pulled anywhere between 13k and 15k damage. Obviously there is plenty of room for improvement in chosen sets and rotation skills...but this was purely casual testing.
The 2k DPS difference here represents a whopping 13.3% difference. The biggest difference in these tests is that I found doing more APM actually decreased my DPS...probably because of the more inefficient use of resources...but most new/inexperienced players won't see that...what they will see is that they are trying their best, trying to cram all these skills into a rotation they read about from Alcast or wherever. I suspect that a lot of people burn through their resources way too fast in doing this, they are refreshing their buffs/DOTs too early, trying to do everything they have been told and still failing. Its a matter of trying too hard. People complain about light attack spamming DPS...but honestly, your DPS isnt that bad if you just spam light attacks all the time with maybe a few skills thrown in....or at least not as bad as the DPS the OP mentions.

I'm not sure why you are finding the need to be sarcastic or rude. I haven't insulted you. I called myself a potato DPS for pulling 18k. I'm sorry your dps isn't where you want it to be. Maybe try the players helping players forum. I am asking about ppl who do 3k dmg. Not 18k.
To be completely honest, its because I don't believe that you pull 18k without trying. Calling yourself a potato for pulling 18k insinuates anyone who pull less is..well whatever is worse than a potato.
I say that because my friends and guildies are pulling 40-60k dps. I pull 18k not knowing what I'm doing. But I also know I don't have the wiring in my brain to dos. This is why I tank and heal. All I'm saying is that if me, who can pull 18k as a clueless person, can pull 18k, I don't understand how 3k is possible from ppl that high level. It has nothing to do with insulting you. Maybe you're like me and are better suited to heal and tank. Please don't get offended, it's far from my intention.
I don't understand the 60k dps stuff. I have never seen it done.
I have to ask. In ESO when someone refers to pulling "60k" DPS does that mean a peak number, or sustained?
On a boss. Example 50k dps in a 2 minute fight. 60k is on the higher end. 80k is achievable by like 1%
I am going to have to go with exploits then. I don't see any way, shape or form that someone can sustain that kind of DPS without using an exploit.
It's not exploits. It's buffs on you and debuffs on the enemy. A lot of that comes from the healer. If the healer isn't there, or you're not applying those skills yourself, you're not going to get the numbers like that. I would suggest getting combat metrics and running your dps in a dungeon. You'll see with certain buffs and debuffs you'll preform much higher.
Re: How is DPS this low on CP 500+ toons?
2. It is much less resource heavy. You are not as prone to not being able to sustain because of bad healers.
What bad healers? The ones that don't get a split second to even move to their back bar cause the group is so bad they have to spam heals the entire time? 😂😂😂
Re: Unable to change hair color without paying for it?
While we're at it, why are all colors not unlocked? I hate that they're race locked.
You know, lore and all that.

Hey all, just wanted to confirm the team is aware of this issue and investigating a fix for it. Thank you for your patience here.
Re: Please give us back Rapid Maneuver!
In my case the spiders wouldn't bother me, although I might still be cautious - it also depends on the tarantula. If they were all Arizona Blondes I'd get my stuff back without any issue, maybe some urticating hairs getting kicked my way but no tarantulas would be harmed.
Now if they were Poecilotheria metallica, then it would be a bit scarier, but if they had room to move away from me they would prefer to do that instead of outright bite me (which would hurt a lot more than other tarantulas). But no one is going to fill a room with those, since each one as an adult can cost over $300.
The best analogy I can think of is having my driver's license taken away and put behind some arbitrary requirement involving something I generally dislike doing for about 45 hours. Of course I can walk to places, ride bike to places, or call an Uber (the real life and slower version of guild taxi), but I am comfortable having my own vehicle and my own volition to get to places in a timely manner.
That is at the heart of my argument, Rapid Maneuver was a quality of life skill that helped me get to places in a timely manner. It was an important skill for many players regardless of how much or how little they spent in Cyrodiil because it also helped them get to places in a timely manner. Transient events are easier to miss now without Rapid Manuever being on our bars, and I know more than a few people who posted in this thread as well as in-game that don't have Rapids anymore on any alt.
It is categorically unfair to require PVP to regain a skill that is not strictly used for PVP.

Re: What besides locking them, can make all my glyphs vanish from the crafting table deconstruct menu?
SteveCampsOut wrote: »I don’t believe you can actually lock glyphs, as they’re a kind of consumable.
There was a toggle added recently to other crafting stations that allows you to hide items in your bank from the decon menu. I’m not sure whether that toggle is available for glyphs, but it could be worth checking.
The other thing is if they’re located on another toon. The station can only see that character’s inventory plus the bank (with the toggle on). If they somehow ended up on a different toon, they won’t show up at the station.
Items in storage chests and coffers never appear at the station at all either.
The glyphs were in the bank and literally vanished from my screen as I was selecting them to decon them at the enchanting station. I guess I need a clue as to where that toggle is because I must have clicked it accidentally but I looked and didn't see any option to toggle before posting the original message. If it exists I need a hint on where it could be on the screen.
I actually have never used the toggle (if it exists) at the enchanting station and usually use gamepad mode, so I’m not even sure where it would be exactly, sorry. I’ll be sure to check next time I’m in game.
Out of curiosity, are you on PC? I know on rare occasion some add-ons have not played nicely with the UI here and there.
In general, though, I find when deconning glyphs that the process has an extremely awkward delay, so I end up having to click on one glyph multiple times and then seeing multiple glyphs deconned in succession even when I feel like I didn’t click on them. It feels almost like severe server lag, except it always happens, even when other actions are fairly responsive. I usually end up deconning more than I intended because of that.
If you’re on PC and running Lazy Set Creator, I suppose it’s just possible that the add-on could be pulling the glyphs from your bank to apply to pieces you crafted using that add-on, if they’re still in your queue. Or perhaps Lazy Writ Creator is pulling one for the daily enchanting writ. That’s probably quite the long shot, though.

Depends on a number of things, like how much time do you want to spend for improvements, is it something you like doing, and / or how much cash are you willing to spend for it.
I think the baseline for QoL should be: Does it improve quality? If the answer is no, or if the answer is that it makes quality of life worse, then it shouldn't be considered.
Gonna try again. Plenty of pvpers hate pve. But they need it to remain competitive. Should ZoS move the undaunted passives to the first couple skill slots in the undaunted line?
A better analogy would be, what if Undaunted Command and Undaunted Mettle were previously the first unlocks in the skill line, and ZOS decided to take them away and move them to Undaunted Rank 5 so a PvPer now gets to grind PvE dungeons where he never had to before? Would that be ok?

Suppose someone is terrified of spiders. Take his wallet, with all his money and credit cards he's been carefully protecting for all these years from him, and throw it into a pit of tarantulas, and tell him if he wants it, all he has to do is jump into the pit, kill a bunch of spiders, and take it back.
I don't like PvP in this game either, but when I read things like this it really frustrates me. The player PvPing isn't actually physically there, like the person who has to face real life spiders. So that is apples and oranges.
But the hate whispers are real, and can hurt.
If the person doesn't want to be there in the first place, does it make it any easier when people are telling him he sucks, he let the team down, go back to PvE, why are you wasting valuable population slots, taking a spot away from someone who actually wants to PvP, etc. And those are the mildest of insults. He never got those kind of messages while he was questing, or gathering materials to furnish his house. All he wants is to be left alone and be able to get around like he used to.
