A HUGE ISSUE PLAGUING THIS GAME

OWLTHEMAD

Is people coming up to the forums and saying that the newest set of skills out right now is a huge issue plaguing this game. Seriously, the headline doesnt even change.

(Insert skill or combo here) is a huge issue plaguing this game!

Every patch with this. Always someone new using the same line.

Genuine advice: take advantage of it. If such a huge amount of people are using the strategy, learn how to counter it (get a friend to help in a controlled scenario) and you will be untouchable in pvp.

Way back when, reflective scales "was a huge issue plaguing this game" Im a magblade, i put the effort to learn how to counter it, and it stopped being an issue. But because people couldnt do that as well, dks lost their trademark ability (we've never been friends dks, but you have my support on this one)

Quit complaining about what others have, and instead start fighting for what YOU dont have. Far more productive.

I think at this point what you're describing isn't so much the issue as it is a general failure to understand ZOS' "balancing" decisions. Things get nerfed that didn't need nerfing (not a skill but a set, but Iceheart comes immediately to mind), things that could really use some buffs (like Nightblades) keep getting ignored, some racials (Bosmer, Argonian) are still in no way consistent with the lore, which we keep bringing up repeatedly, but apparently no one cares... The list goes on.

I can imagine a lot of people would probably be happy if we got the game back to a state where complaining about certain skills that are "too OP" in the current patch, or whatever was our only concern. But with the weird nerfing/buffing that has been going on for a while and the performance mess that we have at the moment, I can definitely tell you that I personally couldn't care less about that right now (but obviously I can only speak for myself here).

Edited for typo.

I think this and that are sperate issues. Assuming they listen to feedback at all, results seem to show that they listen to the loud minority over the rest of the playerbase, if we as a community can stop demanding they take something away from somebody else, shop whining that someonelse has a strong tools, and instead start focusing on the tools that we lack, and request and offer ideas for what wed like to see, i think this game would end up bfing much better on the whole.

As it st as ndx the majority of what you see when you come ip here is some kind of complaint against some other class or skill than the ones the poster uses.

We have GOT *** give them something better to work with if we want to see any improvements in this game.

A huge issue plaguing this game is the magsorc brigade.
Any topic discussing their class in a non favourable way reaches top views/replies on front page instantly.

Noobs are gonna noob. Though i have to admit, they are a farly big contributor to the issue im speaking about. About 50% the time its usually a magsorc main making the call for nerfs to other classes.

Honestly, I don't feel pvp is all that bad right now, but it for sure has been a rocky road in this game. The issue isn't people complaining, the issue is the core combat and gear system they built this game on. Think about it for a minute, think of how many gear combos, plus passives, plus actives, and enchants, with poisons and potions.... And at the base of it all is this weird Mag/health/stam system they had to do just cause Skyrim was built around that. Then you add this half baked Animation canceling and action combat where you really feel lag when it hits and you got a complicated mess to balance.


I mean, for ***'s sake, we have a actual arguments over stam and magicka balance, these are suppose to be resource pools, its the dumbest system I have ever seen.
