A PVPer's Perspective on Console Release

    They were always working on console, even back in release. It was only after 1.6 that they really dug down and focused on finishing it at any cost. As PC users we have never known whats it's like to have the current game supported by all of ZOS. We were ok with partial support in 1-1.5 but it hurt having only ~5% of their support during 1.6, and no hope until console. Now that console is out we can begin to see how our hopes play out.

    With console done we have a firmer foundation spreading across PC, XBox, and PS4 and all of ZOS's efforts can go toward developing the game. There will always be a division between those that code the PC and those that code PS4 but content and balance is across the board and undivided.

    I think we all see how much potential this game has; it's why we are all still here through console crisis. Now is our first chance at seeing that potential begin to play out. The foundation is complete and the development is no longer divided. The game has finally been truly released and can begin to reach it's maximum potential.

    1.6 was/is terrible, but there is no need to expect that kind of lasting disappointment anymore. I think we should be able to expect more than we ever have before. Unless console becomes some terrible disaster we should now be able to look hopefully toward the future of this game.

    your optimism hurts my eyes.

    Start paying attention to our player reports. This is something that could easily be done and improve our experience. I've reported our own people for exploiting, and nothing ever happens to them. I've reported the enemy, after messaging them and them admitting they exploited....and nothing happens to them.

    This one simple step would at least show us you really do care.

    This, and not just in PVP. From people exploiting through walls to using many mundus stones at once, to item dupers back in the day, and some who knowingly abused permanent enlightenment and caused it for themselves purposefully to then go kill known bugged instaspawn mobs (if not for the causing their permanent enlightenment part, that last bit might be understandable and grayish but not combined), or back when the whole killing infinite respawning high xp bosses from the ceiling while untouchable thing in a certain dungeon was popular before Craglorn (or the delve in Craglorn later that was abused for extreme XP gains, dwarfing normal grinding or outdoor boss farming) among other things, I have rarely heard of anyone getting an account action for bugging, cheating, and exploiting. This needs to change. When people feel they won't be touched or that if they are the worst they'll get is a few days off and maybe losing some of the stuff they cheated to earn, they will do it because there's no risk in it in their eyes, and logically that's correct. Permanent account bans need to be handed out when a cheater is confirmed by the GM's. No "here, you can't login a couple of days", or "we're taking the stuff you never earned in the first place, have fun!". Actual consequences for actual violations.

    Lets see, the game has been out well over year and ZOS hasn't been able to fix anything in PvP when it comes to performance, in fact its only gotten worse. The PvP community has always been left in the dark, Brian posts something every now and then to make you guys believe that they're actually hard at work on improving your "PvP experience". But nothing ever comes of it. Promises were made, made, but not kept.

    ZOS have had plenty of chances to fix PvP, they neglected it and now you've got your awesome 100v100v100 massive scale battles. With 10 fps and 999+ ping of course.

    I have given a great deal of thought as to how the Alliance War and its interaction with PvE locations could be revamped to better both. Tonight, the result of that is live :) :

    I would genuinely appreciate everyone's thoughts.

    Everybody knows (or should know) that the reason we haven't had anything was to stabilize console release. Give the man a chance after the release before unleashing the salt.

    @wraith808 I was actually being pretty positive by stating that it must be a pretty significant addition to the game but I also mentioned another outcome because I know that the outcome that it won't live up to expectation is probably higher than not after a year plus of anticipation. Also Brian stated that he and his team have been working on the Imperial City so it's not too much to expect quality work for something that has taken over a year to release.

    How are you enjoying that new end game content? Oh, you don't count 7-9 month old content new? :wink: DC Universe Online released on PS4 while still being able to serve their PC community while they also explore offerings on xbox one. They release monthly dlc and content as a f2p game even so why does ESO feel the need to neglect a portion of the community to do something their direct console competition did with a smaller studio?

    The console excuse is nothing more than that. It's an excuse.
