Pushing fights - shor sometimes needs to be coaxed into action. This past week, as both corvette and tbois have attested, ive rode all the way to black boot and capped resources until a full fledged battle occured usually netting the group upwards of 50k ap when its all said and done and were pushed away. This is an action ive seen the aforementioned people employ as early as thursday as well. Its a bit tedious, but it gets the job done.

Shor is a funny campaign. Sometimes there is a lot of action going on, and other times it is really dead despite the population bars saying otherwise. Sometimes the PUGs just need a little nudging. Several days ago I logged on and AD had only one or two keeps, not much was happening on our side. I just said what the heck and started sieging Fare by myself, once it flagged probably 12-15 AD showed up. Within the next hour we had all home keeps along with Ash, Nik & Sej. The hive mind just needed some steering.

Generally though, I find most of the enjoyable fights when 3-6 of us go deep into DC or EP territory and stir up the hornets nest

I agree with your sentiment. The problem that deters a lot of people is that when the venturing deep into enemy territory fails "early" then its like, you just spent a lot of time traveling for nothing.

example, from DC gates, you ride all the way to Cropsford, and when you flag it, an elite core or large group shows up and you wipe just shy of 3k ap. all you can do is let out a big ol sigh.

but more often than not however, its worth it imho

Rickter

tonight, AD and DC seemed to want to find out which one of their zergs were better

So... is it reasonable to play EP on Shor again? If you are looking for a fight, not a PvDoor-fest?

Its hard to say, honestly. There are still the usual EP dreadlords and torment and sprinkles of the DR groups out there but id say, as of right now, ep is by far the least aggressive on shor since the Krothaggedon.

Good stuff curie. Dk is BACK as they say ;P in any case, not sure when snb became the meta but i was 5light dw/resto back in 2015/2016 and was under the impression that was the only way to go if you wanted to remotely have a chance at killing people in pvp

last week i tested out 4x necro/5x shackle had about 25k health, 46k mag and 20k stam ... only thing it really lacked was a nice sp dmg lol... havent tried shadowrend or 5x necro yet though... might give it a try with shackle

Did anyone have latency issues at all last night on Shor? I usually hover between 90-110. However three times within probably a 20 minute period it would spike in the 900s, game play would become crap and then I'd lose connection. Happened around 8:00-8:30 CST, specifically when I was at Nik and at the gate from Nik to Ash. Finally I said to hell with it and left Cryodiil. Before I entered Cyrodiil and after I left I never had the issue.

gabriebe

I don't know why but I have been getting a lot of lag spikes recently, even just in overland PvE or dungeons.

W0lf_z13

will be interesting though when 2h/stave weapons become counted as 2 slots ... im so used to running dw but i might give staves a try on my mDK when that goes live

technohic

I’m going to be looking at 2h more for magicka classes just for forward momentum. Getting rid of roots and snares winds up not being for much when they instantly get reapplied. Backbar maybe, so long as you don’t need a resto for a heal.

Adenoma

I think a lot of magplars that run dw/S&B will swap to 2h/S&B with that change. No point in using mistform with that gearing anymore.

agreed man.... i wonder if @Raknosh will make a comback when these changes go live ... lol

W0lf_z13

also very much looking forward to the multi core usage update .... hopefully that will help performance

Rickter

I have an i5 processor and Wheeler said id only see a slight increase in performance. Apparently this change will mainly benefit 6-8 core systems. Feelssadman

technohic

Im in the same boat as @Rickter but on the bright side; if I really want the performance increase, I can upgrade. 2 years ago or so when I built my PC, i7s were still a lot higher cost than the i5. Had to have come down some by now.

gabriebe

Lol that's a lot to take in. Sounds like there's gonna be a lot of theorycrafting ahead.

Rickter

Id have to hear what the performance increase is exactly. I know for a fact an i7 7770k + gtx 1080 will run cyrodiil at 60fps and 45 in 30v30v30.

Processors + mobo are cheaper than psu+Gpu

+2 for the Video! But... the music, its so familiar, like I have heard it before... I wonder where... lol

Vapirko

This is not going to be a good patch for stamina. I guess that was expected. Also I’m kind of amazed that ZOS is ramping up damage even further with light/heavy attack scaling and the possibility of Infused jewlery glyphs with wpn damage enchants is insnane. Must have not invited many PvP play testers. All the proposed changes that we know of so far seem more for PvE. Also really hope dw gets a buff although I assume not, since that would make the people who need to play 2H in PvE all aggro and this is what the change is all about.
