The Reality of ESO PvP

Rylana · January 2016

Can be summed up into one sentence.

"If I have less people than you, and I win, you are a pleb and bad, if I lost, clearly you zerged me and would never win even numbers."

An honorable mention followup would be

"Nothing I ever do is wrong, even if it is the same thing I accuse you of doing that is bad in another thread/guildchat/TS/etc."

Has this really how dumbed down the game has gotten? Just... the mentality of the PvP community has approached some of the lowest levels of stupid I have seen in a long long time.

The classic, "impulse monkey spammers", from everyone's favorite grammatically challenged broken record. Always a great back up.

PVP is just in a bad place all around.

WTB decent game

It feels as though it launched and then they proceeded to try to make it less hard for bad players.

Problem is that bad players are bad. Trying to protect them only holds them back! Better off teaching them to play.

Maybe difficulty scaling issue in pve ?

That said, game is much harder in white gear and without cps.

Its the old tradeoff of individual vs communal progress. I think that the pvp game as a whole would benefit from a return to soft caps and hybrid builds as well as a scaling of all gear sets upto 16 to give us maximum choice. The power creep is too much and the health bars are too low.

Fights last too long due to the 50% and 25% damage restrictions on groups.

I object! The reality of ESO PvP is "Spiderman sets the rules."

On topic, people that complain all the time are most likely not on the top end of the pvp-foodchain.

If you didn't beat me I totally would have won

Iyas · January 2016

I think we would have less complaints without the lag.

At least i could use my escape abilities

Wut?!?!?!?!?!?!? You do realize that there are severe penalties for spreading false news and gossip. Or are you just wishful thinking?

I'm still having fun. Helps to run with some fun-loving people, too. People who stress finding fun fights. And people who have respect for other faction players. Win or lose...we just havin' fun.

The next incremental patch will have some changes to underlying combat resolutions to speed up calculations on the server, but also some changes to how abilities check their cost per cast. We found many abilities were evaluating their costs when they didn't need to, so we're fixing that.

There are some changes to how abilities are structured coming in the Thieves Guild patch itself. These changes don't effect the ability functionality on the player or their effects against other players, but how the server handles the process of the abilities themselves.

Trying to have hope...

I think Wheeler is referring to the Thieve's Guild DLC. They like to "blend" their so-called PvP fixes in with PvE stuff so that when it doesn't work they don't take as much grief from players easily distracted by new (but much the same) content.

He was quoted as saying (2) patches will address the lag/performance; an incremental patch before theives guild and thieves guild making up the majority of the changes (64bit client, skill balance etc.)

I had to reply to your comment because we noticed when we battle with the EP we rarely notice a lag, but when the AD come around the lag is real. My point is I found it interesting that others were pointing out something I've noticed myself. It could just be a coincidence, IDK.

It was really just in jest but when you think about it doing such a thing would probably eliminate permanently the infamous buff servers.

And we noticed when we face DC zergs, our computers blow up and homes burn up in flames. As if DC are actually trying to paint AD as the zerg faction. Riiiiiight.

Or we've been here from the beginning and we're irritated over the constant incompetence displayed by ZOS.
