Is damage buffed on PS4 and XBOX?

Hello Comrades

There is this legend going around for fairly good time. So I decided to double check, is it true that damage is buffed on consoles? Or this is but a myth?

Ty in advance.

    You know, after thinking about it for thirty seconds I think I've figured out how this could be done from a purely technical standpoint.

    In fact, now that I think about it some more, if I were ZOS I would do it.

    Moreover, I would change the size of the buff and rotate it between different user bases every (random number between 1 and 10) days. Without telling anybody, of course.

    Just imagine the howling and gnashing of teeth on the forums...weekly! Daily even!

    Considering how limited Gamepads are and how awful the user interface without Addons is I wouldnt even be jealous if those poor souls on consoles get a little treat now and then.

    That surely isn't true. All the parses I see on web are comp. Try animation cancelling on console with the 50 to 90 latency you get most times.

    Why not at this stage or even race or class buffs for a weekend rotation

    Now we know why zos does not like to include a useful feature like a dps meter in the base game. Give everyone an addon like combat metrics so you can prove ZOS is not cheating with a damage buff or has by accident bugged the damage output.


    Combat metrics should be available for everyone.
