New combat system, Light/Medium/Heavy and how some of these changes will likely improve performance.

I mean, of course it's a performance update. Fewer people, better performance.

Well the game will still have a lot of players. But the stuff that isn't meant for performance some of the changes likely will do more for performance. (Not counting driving off players.) The irony here is likely that these changes might do more for performance then the other changes they did with update 25. That is how I feel about it personally.

If you think im going to weave less you are sadly mistaken. I will be weaving just as much with spell damage glyphs instead of regen, in Turn requiring more calculations . The change to be able to do spell swords is great, but the rest is just garbage.

Well I do think they could maybe reduce the damage by 50% instead of 75% Then have a medium do 50% more to the values of the current light attacks and then have heavy attack damage do more damage then it does on live. So there is room for improvements but I do feel they are going in the right direction.

As these changes I think will help with the performance and this game will still have hundreds of thousands of players plus many new players so those that leave will but then they might come back later and well get use to it and adjust to it and get use to the changes. Perhaps even having a change of heart and saying you know this is better then the old system why did I have to be so against this one?. Then come to love the new combat system so that is always a possibility.

I can guarantee you people will just leave and not come back, they are sick and tired of having zos' crap all over the builds they worked on every six months. These changes are garbage full stop.

I blame the isolation due to corona virus and having to stay home in front of your computer all day for this.

Somebody has too much time on their hands

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from the way you wrote it, these are all just your own ideas - and conclusions which have no actual data supporting the conclusions. For example, if the server CAN handle more complex calculations as well it does simple calculations, changing to simple does not improve performance.

IMHO

Would like to see hybrid stam/magika builds more viable. My fav character, which i RP with, to be remotely viable i dump my stats into magika and do all magika abilities that way they are more effective. But if you split evenly between the 2 stats, niether would be viable for anything.

I do like this change... but it does nothing for a true hybrid. I am happy that it opens up the door to weapon deviations, though, even if just a little. This is a step in the right direction at least. I hope to see more small updates like this in the future.

There is one issue with things like magicka setups playing with bladed weapons. To do so You'll have to be able to perfectly sustain without light attacks resource restore because bladed weapons will restore only stamina and staves will restore only magicka. And if You will be able to sustain without la resource restoring then there will be no other use for that stamina then bash weaving which is actually increasing impact on performance and skill ceiling of setups like that.

Well they said making all of the actions sever side would improve performance as well and now we know that was a lie since ever since they have patched it in their first performance patch the performance of the game has been probably the worst it has ever been.

I don't think its a lie edit: wait I misunderstood the post sorry. however I do still think it will take a bit of time and work to turn the ship around maybe a bit faster with the fixes then the time it took for the game to get where it is today.. Its not like the performance issues can be fixed with a magic hammer. Edit in a way it does for those with low end machines as it doesn't put the strain on them but yeah the server still can't handle to many of the actions. So I think it helps those with low end machines which can't handle it and hurt performance for high end machines.

Not sure how much this could help performance or responsiveness but try this if your on the pc version of the game. Go to command prompt when open type in ipconfig /flushdns and see if it helps any. If I'm right this might help clear up some of the unresponsiveness and maybe help with ping. After doing earlier I think it made my game more responsive but not 100% sure if it was the exact reason for the responsiveness increase.
