Re: ZOS: URGENT PLEA ABOUT ABUSIVE COMMENTS on ZONE CHAT ...extremely upsetting.
Why post it on the forums?
Reporting and blocking was enough, you don't have to make this public.
I do have to make this public....it heeds to stop. I had to be silent and not say anything to stop it even though every part of me wanted to lash out at them....dont you dare make me feel bad about this i didnt do anything wrong.

People should not put up with discrimination, though. Things like racism, sexism etc lead to much more than just "hurt feelings". Of course, harassment in games is only a small part of a big problem, but it doesn't mean that it's not a problem at all.
[snip]
I have delt with people making fun of me for physical imperfections for over 30 years. I learned a long time ago that the best way to deal with it, was to ignore their commentary...because what they were saying was not true, it was just being said to be hurtful. I stop letting it hurt me and life is better.
The biggest change any person can do to the world, is change themselves.
So in other words, we should blame the victims of harassment for "allowing it to hurt them" instead of harassers? That's not very constructive. Sure, it's not possible to get rid of all evil, but it doesn't mean that we should give up trying and just accept it. Mental health is a real thing, and trying to harm people psychologically is no better than trying to hit them.
Shifting focus from perpetrators to victims only empowers said perpetrators and creates a very unwelcoming atmosphere. Games are supposed to be fun for everyone participating, they're not here to test your mental strength or something. Harassment is already against ESO rules, the problem is that these rules aren't enforced as often as they should be.

Thankfully you didn't name and shame them and get this thread deleted. While I admire your restraint in not speaking to them, bringing it up in the forums is just giving them the power they craved. If they see the post they will know they achieved their goal of getting under your skin. [snips]
So it’s wrong to inform people of the problem and wrong to try to get the attention of ZOS so they will fix it? Hmmm. Can’t say I agree with you there. It’s important to discuss issues like this so people know what to watch out for and people who have experienced similar things know they aren’t alone.
Edit: Also, you do realize this goes way beyond “being mean” right? Based on OP’s description, this sounds like legit hate speech meant to intimidate and degrade. So yeah, I don’t blame her for being upset.
[snip] I only pointed out that she gave the trolls what they wanted. A reaction that they can see clearly on the forums. That's just a simple fact. She can do with it as she likes.
Perhaps I came on too strongly. All I meant is that there are definitely good reasons to post something like this, and OP is NOT overreacting as this could be extremely upsetting.
Re: Reconstructing

It does.
Regarding Decon'ing and conflicting reports I skimmed over above.
I raised that deconstructing an item doesnt add to collection book (that was the case in week 1) and I crystal balled that it would simply result in addons for PC users that will auto equip any BOE item that isn't collected and revert gear. A mild inconvenience to PC users but a real head ache for console users.
I don't know if ZOS already had this in the pipeline and it was an oversight or they listened to the feedback, but decon'ing items resulting in an addition to the collection book came in week 2 PTS. I never tested vendoring or destroying. The feedback between week 1 (decon does not) and week 2 (decon now does add to collections) may be the cause of the confusion.
Re: Harrowstorms are an unfun step backwards: a couple months later
For Harrowstorms, I think they could do with enveloping the battle area in a red-ish windstorm, swirling in a circle. You know, like an actual storm. Tone down or remove the red permeating the entire area and just have it create a circular arena. Better yet, why not have the whole storm actually move, forcing the character to move with it--maybe blocking/making invisible the pillar things we have to attack when they are outside of the storm. That gives priority to a target and helps makes things interesting by constantly being on the move.
Also, as a new Greymoor player, I didn't know what I should be targetting. I don't think it's so obvious. Really, the excessive red confused me on what was actually happening and I do not currently enjoy my time spent in Harrowstorms.
Right now, Harrowstorms are like Dark Anchors but with more things to attack. They need to be more unique than that.

Harrowstorms suck. Cheap one-shots and garbage rewards.
Re: Why no love for Templar?
The templar is one of the classes with the greatest balance between damage and healing that exists.
Balanced vs what? Naked magnbs?
Both templars are pretty bottom tier for pvp atm.
Last patch they took away a lot of our dmg.
As for healing, LOL.
A sorcerer can put out better healing than Templars. Let's be real here.

Just wait until you run into a stam warden wearing 4 proc sets.
But to your point, just because you put on heavy armor, that does not make you a tank or on its own reduce damage very much from ordinary light armor. Not dying in this game has much more to do with stuff like HoTs, defensive buffs, crit resistance, damage avoidance, controlling a fight, armor set piece bonuses, etc.
Re: 1vX - How? (PvP)
Artorias24 wrote: »The idea of 1 vs X is very simple:
1) You never fight with those, who play beter than you.
2) You look for good players in enemy group, and run from them.
Wait when some new players try to strike you and try to one shot them. Always run from good players and kill weak first.
Than try to kill good one 1 on 1, or run, untill friends come to help to outnumber him.
1 vs X is not that 1 kill X good fighters.
In reality it is impossible to fight against 2 good players if you are alone.
3) So we have 1 - 2 good players and 3-4 weak as example.
There are skills that heal more or strike more if they hit a lot of targets, you use them. So you charge your heal and damage with this 4 weak players, and always run.
Weak players will try to controll you, so it will be hard for good one make one shot combo, they can not stun you, when they need it.
4) Newer fight in field, always run near some stone, wall, tree 🎄 and etc.
About sets:
You get 1 protective set, that heals or regens you, and 1 proc set, that makes your attack do a lot of dps in small window.
It is hard to kill you, because you are fat, you regen when you run.
And when your dps window is ready, you try to kill enemy with ultimate as examle in this small window. Than run again.
I am not 1 vs X
Just as example, my build heals 4 k hp per second.
I do not use one shot combo, but i can do 5-7 k dps in standing target.
So if it will be 2 like me, we kill enemy in 2 - 3seconds (1 dethink = dead) It is not possible to fight 2 players like that
If you run, we can not do dps, so you heal more than we dps.
If you run near some stone asexample, we get lugs - so we can not hit you.
We try to use attack, server or ping is not perfect, so attack do not land, you run, we can not hit, becouse skills do not work. You get full HP, and try to one shot us.
If you do it is ok.
If you do not, run again.
Some builds is impossible to kill 1 on 1, so you run, untill you outnumber them
A lot of players will not run near stone (they know how, but they will not).
So they choose to die, not run vs X isabout to kill new players, not some good group.
The only one 1 vs X that can kill group is Mana bomber.
They use low level players to acamulate dps.
As example:
Group 6 players, 2 are good and 4 with low level.
You use sets that give you dps in small window as example:
Mechanikal Accuty, balorgh, some + to crit or dps and vicious death set.
You are in full dps mode and buffs.
In 5 seconds all your attacks are crits and do 1,5 dps of base.
Mana bomb that will hit 1 player in normal condition will do:
2 k damage, with all buffs and proc sets active 4 k damage.
With 5 more people 8 k damage.
You use it + ultimate (damage+ stun)+ some hard hitting strike.
24 k dps in me. But a lot of players are not as tanky.
And for them it will be 30 k as example.
If he die near me he deals me damage as example 5k. If 2 low level players die, 10 k dps from them will kill me.
So all 6 peoples are dead.
Low level players like to stuck on players, that they think are strong.
It makes them feel save.
So you kill the stronger one with them
The setslike this are: Azur blight, Vicious death, Dragonstar 2 handed and etc.
Kinda feels you hate players that 1vX.
wait how did you get to that conclusion? i mean the guy has a broken english maybe i dont understand sth there but he explained how to 1vX in general, so how does he hate 1vXers?
I hate some part of them. Some just do not fight back, just run run run, kill only low CP and run, even 1 on 1 newer fight back if they see some danger.
I really do not like this type
And yes, my english is not really good, sorry for this
no need to be sorry about it. anyway back to the topic: tbh honor is just a *** excuse for people that doesnt want to deal with stuff they just dont like. every play style is valid unless cheating.
and yeah at this point, even using bad server lag/deysnc to your advantage is valid too.
