✭I think its too soon to really tell how the patch changes group fights but I think its safe to say that ZOS definetly wants to encourage playing with a full raid.
A full raid where 12 people get lots of TV stones and the rest get scraps.Power level to CP160 in a week:
Where is the end game? You just played it.
Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
Where is new content? Sigh.1 -

I agree.
They still went forward with insta cast proxidet idea when it could've made more sense doing it to the other morph. In the following weeks once this IC hype settles down you're gonna see zergs fighting against zergs with that. The winner will be decided by:
a) who timed it better or,
b) who has the most numbers

I like the instant cast on prox det, and one thing I think people aren't considering is if lag does happen having it instant cast means it could work through the lag where it didn't with the cast time.1 -
Lesspa✭✭✭Can we please get a full raid of misting vamps who all time prox det perfectly? Pwetty pwease? and upload it to the tubez.0

✭✭✭✭✭I just had a 30 minute fight with another Nightblade. 2 of my team mates joined in - she killed them both. After the 30 minutes we both gave up and went our separate ways. Considering this is my second day in Cyrodiil I have to ask.. is that normal? After the fight it felt like my eyes were bleeding and I was excessively dehydrated. Started grinding just for something mind numbing to do for a while.0 -

Lol. Old normal, No.. New normal.. yes, pretty much. But,, grtz on surviving since you are new to Cyro. Your opponent must have been pretty skilled to kill your other two mates so quickly.Power level to CP160 in a week:

She/he was, yeah. The 30 minutes was me basically defending myself and not dealing much damage at all. They got me down to 50% a couple of times, but it quickly regenerated after healing ward, soul tether, swallow soul and a few crits. Burnt through my remaining 17 magicka potions relatively quickly. Half way through I had to rely on heavy resto attacks to restore some magicka while jumping around keeping healing ward and harness magic up. The first 5 mins was pretty exciting. After about 10 or so she stopped - I assume to reskill - then we continued. Another 20 minutes and we just went in different directions. That was my first solo experience and I'm not sure what to think.. it was fun, but draining at the same time. Anyway, my original point was, she managed to take out a small group quite easily by herself. The 2 guys that joined me dropped like flies.0 -

Sounds like Bee to me ( =
1 v X is still possible in some cases depending on your opponents but fighting a magicka nightblade is pretty tough for any class other than another nightblade right now due to cloak.

She was a level 48 or 49 vampire/magicka nb in the non-vet campaign.. started with a "V" I believe. If you do know them, tell em I said good fight xD
Ahh, then that isn't who I was thinking it was.
I did notice a level 49 DC nightblade running around last night doing very well which surprised me. I wonder if when they changed the Vet battle levelling if they unintentionally overbuffed lower level chars?

CN_Daniel✭✭✭✭Tell the banana team we've been 'chating' with in Azura who has 40-60 people "numbers always win".
An organized team of 24 is enough to deal with anything now. Over that and we're just being a bully.0 -

Get out of here with that zerg crap, we wanted small scale PvP with the Imperial City. These changes kill solo play, reward unskilled players in big groups. The only counter is getting in a bigger group, and that's lame especially within the small Imperial City zones.
Who is we? Do you have a mouse in your pocket? "We", as in the people I run with, expected large battles as per the marketing materials. So you certainly aren't speaking on my behalf. Or on behalf of my guild, or on behalf of basically any organized and PvP guild.Edited by apostate9 on September 2, 2015 6:01PM1 -
Yeah, I am going to have to go ahead and disagree.
My guildmates and I (between 4-6 of us depending on the day) made the conscious decision to join both blue/yellow's buff servers to farm CPs at Cracked Wood Cave to avoid XP dilution from leeches in our faction (EP). We consistently, and by consistently I mean daily, hold down the cave against groups with numbers in the teens, sometimes even ~24.
Now, in the open world, I think your claim that the bigger group usually wins has a little more merit, but there is more to PVP than traditional keep and resource capping.
We have found that our success lies in our fluid communication, tactics, and synergizing our builds. An excellent healer doesn't hurt either.0 -

Sure. My main is a VR2 sorc (just pve currently). But I started a magicka nightblade a couple of days ago, level 39 at the moment in DC. Definitely enjoying NB more than sorc as it stands!
Yeah as a Sorc you're going to lack the damage output needed at VR2 to kill a magicka nightblade spamming healing ward, especially since you're not running detect pots and they can cloak at will. Power Overload and Crushing shock are your two best options there with Fragment procs of course.Permanently banned from the forums for displaying dissent: ESO - The Year Behind
