We are currently investigating issues some players are having logging into the PTS. We will update as new information becomes available.

So heavy armor stays as strong as it is now, compared to medium/light armor?

    What are you talking about 80% of the player base wears heavy ... where do you get your data ? THIS IS MISINFORMATION FALSE INFO...

    Look at your leader boards per alliance all three and you will see ...
    First ...around 30-35 % of the pop is NB almost all wear medium.. Magicka wears light
    Second ...around 25 to 30% are sorcs atm most of these guys wear light and medium... some wear heavy but they are a distinct minority...
    Third.... Templars I would say more then half wear light and medium.. .. But there are very few STAMPLARS out there compared to magicka..
    Fourth ....DKS NOW majority of this class does wear heavy but they make up about 20% of the population right now... In AD they are around 15% atm.. Keep in mind most DKs are magicka and many of these guys are playing in light...
    Fifth... Wardens.. a distinct minority wear heavy ..

    Heavy is not OP... in fact it was hit really hard last patch... It fact it's offering about 10% mitigation at best then medium for my class it's more like 8%... Yes it does does give stam back from heavy attacks 25% more but that can be countered... Resource return is 500 stam for every 4 sec if your being hit ... that's a 70% nerf from earlier this year....

    Most of the first part of PVP in this heavy was obsolete it's getting very close to that point again ... I can safely say less the 50% of the pop is in heavy atm..

    You take the sword and board ult for granted guys...

    as I wrote...I dont see any good reason to use light or medium armor in pvp while playing in open fights, light and medium will be now only for stealth for mobility, nothing more, heavy armor beat every other bonuses from rest armors

    Agreed, dunno why they dont see reason, 80% of the playerbase is pretty much agreeing that heavy armor is overperforming vs medium/light.

    Really where is your data from This? Then why isn't 80% wearing It?... lol so stam NB are in Heavy? What about magicka sorcs yea I bet they are in heavy also...what about magicka NB yea they are in heavy also...lol. These 3 arch types are very strong in PVP...

    The only class I see consistantly in heavy are DKs and many of them are going to light... DKs are no more then 25% of Cyrodil PVP population... the faction with the most DKs on the leader boards is EP the least is AD and they are about 15-18% Stam DKs are a 3rd of that...

    People won't be happy until you nerf HA into uselessness, don't you get it ZOS? Come on, all people want is to make HA a vanity thing, this is not too difficult.

    that doesn't mean heavy armor needs a nerf. light and medium just need a buff, in the form of resistances or shield duration. then people might start using light/medium over heavy.

    HEAVY ARMOR BENEFITS STAMINA USERS, cut the crap....
    HA must be nerfed to the ground , resistance wise, in pvp AND PVE
    If magika users equip HA, they will not be able to dps, while their counter[art stamina users will do 60k+ dps and have HUGE BOOST to their survival
    nerf now

    I heard so many times , stam do 60k + dps
    Actually I feel happy if I can do 35k +
    Please don't mark every stam does 60k + , just for the players who have good connection , perfect rotation and full buffs .

    Lets nerf heavy armor so 1 vs x will dissapear from this game... but light shield stacking will keep rocking in it.
    1 more nerf to heavy and it becomes useless, pepole seriously need to l2p, it is so ez to counter heavy armor (even the perma block users* with few cc's and dodgy gameplay.
