I do love a ton about this game as i played at PC launch and came back now on PS4 several months ago but there is just way too much wrong with the game. And they dont have a clue on PVP, back then it was the Bat Swarm crap, i come back and its more BS but just different BS with bandaid fixes trying to fix lag by putting in stupid sets and giving every player prox det to break up Zergs. But they dont even understand that Zergs will never ever be broken up in ESO, the whole Cyrodiil zone is designed around large scale PVP, they would have to totally scrap the zone and rebuild it to get rid of Zergs and that still probably wouldnt get rid of them.

Welcome to all games with pvp in them. Al;ways some fotm build. Always lag. Always some new thing you need to have because they nerfed the other thing you used to use.

Are you serious? I don't mind being disagreed with, but what? You don't believe they've been putting out shoddy work...? As buggy and as much of a mess as the Thieves Guild DLC is/was? The fact that it's 2016, and a MMO as famous as ESO lacks a text chat for console even after supposedly there being a functional one already implemented but removed for whatever the reason? The AOE cap nonsense in PVP, as well as unbalanced classes and skills? What? Quality of quests? Do you know that there are still quests right now that exist with NPC's not spawning, and or being unable to be interacted with? And we are on the 3rd DLC? Are you serious...? And you don't feel this game is in bad shape? They JUST released 2 optional assistants for 5k crowns that are pretty damn useless. One of them being a vendor, and yet they can't even repair your items. And ZOS is asking 5k crowns for that trash. But the game isn't in bad shape. . . ?
Enough is enough. Even as a sorcerer who has abused this mechanic, it's ridiculous and is ruining the game. Even outside of PVP. Because you can animation cancel does NOT mean you're elite, special, or anything of the sort. All it means is that you're able to slip in a by more damage via exploitation. This was a mechanic that wasn't even meant to be in the game to begin with, and it is now April of 2016. And the crap is still here. I don't know what type of mead or skooma you all at ZOS are abusing, but remove it. Enough is enough.
PS: Please give console a text chat already. It took you until March 2016 to give console players combat text. So I'm assuming you're going to get around to doing it sometime in 2017 or 2018? Unacceptable. Get your business together, and stop dilly-dallying your player base.

The game works fine for me. Id suggest configuring your pc better or something. There are literally 100s of people right now in just one spot AD NA PC server. Thats just one out of the three factions too. I have done every quest in the game on at least one of my characters. I have yet to find even one quest thats bugged. Yes this was a problem in 2014 its not a problem today.
I had absolutely no problems with the thieves guild patch after the first patch 48 hours after launch. The DLC functioned exactly as they said it would. Ive spent probably 80 hours or more in hews bane since it launched. Ive done every quest in every zone including all the cyrodill quests.

The game can be a complete rollercoaster even with a good PC. I got 32GB of RAM, GTX780, intel core i7-4770 CPU etc and it can still go from around 200-1k+ randomly in cities, dungeons etc for no reason whatsoever.

My computer isnt near that powerful. Anywhere but cyrodill I get 60fps steady. I have it capped at 60 because my monitor is an older lcd tv so it only does 60hz. possibly things aren't configured properly? I dont really know what to say. As far as latency that really doesnt have anything to do with your rig.

Well, even fps etc can go completely wild in terms of stability. I've got close to 600 games on steam only and ESO is by far the worst in terms of stability not counting early access games, which doesn't really give much credit to ESO to only be better than some EA games I got. I've played SWTOR, GW2, RIFT lots of random free MMO's too among others and while ESO is more fun gameplay wise, it's frustrating when it's my favourite MMO but it just sucks performance wise compared to the rest sometimes.
Enough is enough. Even as a sorcerer who has abused this mechanic, it's ridiculous and is ruining the game. Even outside of PVP. Because you can animation cancel does NOT mean you're elite, special, or anything of the sort. All it means is that you're able to slip in a by more damage via exploitation. This was a mechanic that wasn't even meant to be in the game to begin with, and it is now April of 2016. And the crap is still here. I don't know what type of mead or skooma you all at ZOS are abusing, but remove it. Enough is enough.

First off, thank you for this. You see, from my limited knowledge of AC itcseemed a PVP problem and so i keep womdering why alk these AC threads spam across the genersl forum instead of the dedicated PVP forum.
But you have apoarently seen some concrete objective way AC is ruining PVE.
I am VERY INTERESTED to hear you explain that and show its harm to the PVE pkat.
My limited knowledge 2c on AC would be that i see it as having two components.
First is using it to get attacks off as fast as posdibke by avoiding unnecessary delays between actions. This increases you rate of action, much like say changong control to remap keys or putting skills often repested on the easiest to get to keys etc. There does seem to be a legit case that this is some reasonable benefit from preparation and plsnning and prsctice, imo. If someone improved their performance by remapping dodge key to single key we wouldnt calk that an exploit. Ifcsoneone improved their performance by not spamming cfrag and suffering the delays of cast time but by alternating or "weaving" Crushing shock and cfrag to optimize the insta-cadt low cost cfrsg bennie we would not call that exploit. So uding hvy attack with shock to svoid unnecessaru gaps and increase dps seems very similar.
Second is using it to HIDE effects so the enemy doesnt see yhem as easily and so cannot adjust the same as if it were done normally. THAT IS OBVIOUSLY A PVP SPECIFIC thing. Not one NPC, boss or monster has complained sbout AC.
I have very little knowledge of PVP and so i can say that i can see this as a legit complaint about AC in PVP IF AND ONLY IF it is the design intent that animations are INTENDED to serve as a sufficient enough wsrning as to allow players to see INSTANT effects in time to te defensive actions before the so-called instant sction results spply.
Obvioysly some effects provide deliberste obvious warnings but not all.
So, if the intention of the design is to allow enough time between starting an instant effdct and it taking effect to allow defenders to take soecific counters, then use of AC for that is likely an exploit.
But given the some ssy explicit suport of AC by zos, if thst id true, it seems that is not the case.
In short summary, i see it as two issues, a PVE used technique fot upping performance and a PVP used tecchnique for both raising performance and avoiding tipping off adversaries unnecessarily which may or msy not be an exploit, depending on the design.
So, to me, these threads would really benefit from being divided between PVP AC threads in the dedicated PVP forums and if there are any PVE AC specific threads ib the general or combat tactics forums.
I do look forward to seeing your expansion on and crifications of the ruinous pve impacts of AC. That will be enlightening, i hope and may further inform my opinions on thevsubject.
Thanks again.
