The problem is that the people who were enjoying the very competitive month of GH suddenly have to put it on hold for this game mode that could’ve been run side-by-side. Like I said in another thread, the people that play GH will play GH and the people that play Vengeance will play Vengeance. But instead, all we get is Vengeance.
INCREDIBLY competitive
it was like 3 in the morning or something and it came down to the last couple seconds and it actually tied lol, havent seen that happen in a few years. EP won because of potential points being the decider and the actual score being tied.
I normally don't care about who wins, not since the campaign rewards have sucked so much especially, but that was a really fun campaign, and there was soooo much fighting going on.
It really, really sucks to have that brought to an immediate halt for vengeance where you'll likely never see something like this happen, ever. Same with BR and Ravenwatch.

I dont see the problem, I am having a blast. Haven't touched pvp in over a year, now I plan on actually playing it again.
So, if you haven't touched PvP in a year, how do you know you wouldn't have a blast in any event?
Re: VENGEANCE ONLY THIS WEEK?
Hmm, something isn't optimized either, PS5 is overheating in Cyro now but not in regular game.
Stupid sky effect probably.

Re: Companion progression is extremely slow and unpleasant
They are increasing XP next patch, so that should help.
I found they get the first 10 levels relatively quickly, and if I am in public dungeons with an XP scroll that tends to help a lot.

I'm taking my time with this one after rushing the other two. Besides, I need to keep an eye on that 2K cap.Its_MySniff wrote: »I finished it in less than an hour in a public dungeon. That is your best choice.
Not yet since I'm mostly questing doing this one, but I'm about to cross to the next DC zone, one more quest to go.Weird, it says they should. Have you tried different zones?
Re: Healers: Are you worried about what's coming with the next class changes?
Hi, new to the forums but not ESO (I've been playing since 2022), but chiming in on this since I am in fact a healer main.
I'm not worried about coming changes at the moment. I don't necessarily mind subclassing, and I do in fact have a subclassed healing build on my main, a Templar. But I only break out that build if my guild's running a vet trial and if I explicitly need to be less squishy. Most of the time though I've been fine with non-subclassed builds in the trials my guild runs.

Re: Update 50 PTS – Week 1 Summary
Pleaaaaase don't take away the new white wolf's cute pink nose and skin tone. It looks SO GOOD. 😧
We aren't. The team indicated that if they do anything in the future, they'd add more options, not take away from or change the ones currently on the PTS.
Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Challenge Difficulty
So, to answer some questions on Challenge Difficulty and instancing combat. This is going to be a little bit technical to hopefully explain the limitations from that perspective.
Everything in the game has a "weight" to it. This includes monsters (very weight heavy), interactable objects (these very but can be weight heavy), etc. Weight is determined by how much information is stored in a given object. I mention this because we have formulas for how much "weight" we can attribute to a given zone or instance of a zone and that is based on the intended player cap. So, for instance, Overland zones generally have no weight restrictions because we expect a lot of players in those zones so the weight attributed to the zone is justified and won't adversely affect the server. It gets much more tricky in situations where we expect reduced players in a given zone. The most restrictive are solo instances or fight spaces. We have a lot of development tools we use to make sure we do not exceed weight capacities in these spaces so it should feel seamless to players.
Each zone is controlled on the backend by something that determines which of our servers will spin up which zones when new copies are needed. In Greymoor, we saw the effects of the zones being spun up were not correctly attributing weight. Trials would spin up on weight heavy controllers which would result in adverse conditions in any zone connected to that controller. Our engineers took great pains to reorganize the code in these controllers to make sure the zones were even and weight was correctly distributed.
Well, sounds like in 2026 a good autoscalable infrastructure with a better scheduler for zones would be a good idea. Having servers on a fixed-scale infrastructure spin up the zones, instead of the scheduler spin up right-sized servers needed for that zone/group of zones explains many performance issues with the game. It's been a while since Microsoft bought you folks, could be a good idea to check Azure AKS....
The backend stuff is only the tip of the iceberg, and hand-waving "Azure" not only isn't going to actually solve that, but it also won't fix all the other issues.
I'm not "hand-waving" Azure, i specifically mentioned Azure AKS service. Why? because complex scheduling/scaling it's exactly what Kubernetes is designed to solved. And i'm not talking out of my ass, large scale cloud infrastructure it's what i do for a living and i've been doing this for over a decade, and i did work on a gaming company hosting large scale multiplayer games, and what i just said is exactly how we orchestrated thousands and thousand of multiplayer instances (zones)
I'm not saying that is easy to migrate something like this, it's probably a multi-year project, but given the maturity and resources of ZOS at some point they need to evolve the original infrastructure that they designed over a decade ago.

Re: April 20th Vengeance Only..
Well i listed 3 builds actually. 1: DoT with Maarselok (10% usage). 2: DK (60%), 3: Damage/Burst lines subclass (15%). You can use Shalks instead of Heart of Flame or Blastbones in another damage/burst line. You can use another glyph and one other trait than your friend. Does it really change your build or playstyle meaningfully? And everything else i listed are just used by all three of these. From medium armor to weapon dmg stack to speed cap unlimited sprint to high hp to unlimited sustain to godly dmg to crits/ block healing, extreme burst/proc sets. Just the same OP playstyle and build.Call me crazy but looks like you listed 11 different ways to play…
I am going to give you an example about what i mean. Before hybridization patch and all the chaos afterwards, there used to be 12 playstyles. Each class with stam and magicka versions. Magsorc played differently than stamsorc, stamblade was deadly but squishy, had hat shade gameplay. And then there was magblade with cloak and resto shield for healing when in cloak. There was Templar that could block and heal better than everyone else staying alive in dense areas. Magsorc could run away with Streak. And then there was DK which was master of DoTs and could burn you if you get close. These are the different playstyles. Today you just slot medium armor and damage lines, stack weapon dmg and crits and just sprint at your opponent at speed cap to hit them with 5 different abilities at once without any gameplay whatsoever. You get hit by stupid unrealted combos like Snipe + Overload + Crushing + Pulse + Crystal Weapon + Winterborn in a single GCD. Why?
Re: April 20th Vengeance Only..
I am going to argue those "veteran PvPers" would stop playing ESO PvP alltogether if there would be ever any kind of balance between classes and builds in ESO PvP. Yeah, of course they like GH more because you can get carried by your god builds there. Vengeance is not boring it is balanced. Talk about build freedom of GH and then use exact same one build together with all sweaties throughout whole patch and then change to the next god build next patch. And enjoy clearing the more casual folk or players that dont go meta easier. Doesnt look like build freedom to me.
All those hardcore ESO PvP streamers and Youtubers with K/D counters on their screen suddenly stop streaming and posting videos. Yeah yeah, they dont like Vengeance. That should be the reason
Is it that or are you missing your stupid OP Maarselok builds, or DK one shot combos or Damage Skill Line stack subclass meta? Your proc sets to carry your damage for you? Medium armor high sustain, high healing, high dmg, high crit, high mobility, speed cap streak, high hp builds to carry you? Is that what you miss?
