The factions re unbalanced (faction that outnumber have alot of benefits... faction that have low population have to be Tbag )

Imagine if the regular pvp rewards worked like the ones during the event, maybe we would have a much healthier pvp population.

Sorcs: I strek
Templars: I jab
DKs: I leap

Meanwhile, Necros:

my biggest realization was that my BG build doesnt work well in Cyrodiil and I have to recreate my build with a focus on one bar...

<any button press> ??????????????? did you press something...

Greystag

33% more like -33%, they really need to do something about spamming this skill more than 3 or 4 times.

This is so infuriating. Random ass one second loading screens when riding through the world. The other day I collected skyshards and jumped off some cliff towards water and midjump I get one of those tiny loading screens, lose all my momentum and fall straight down onto rocks and die.

I hate streak, i almost dont bother fighting magsorcs, just like i dont bother fighting stamcros or Stamden. Although i must admit im very skilled at spamming BoL on my stamsorc, but whats a man gonna do when 20+ ppl tries to zerg u down 😂

what_the

don't,,,

Stamsorc. Streak mostly as defensive matter, not for stun - but going tf out of a bad situation. No one should expect me to solo a 24 man group being at my tail. Dodgeroll with bow, run a few meters, streak, dodgeroll, streak - Dark Deal and the battle is reset, and they are zerging someone else down instead.

You'll have to look at the other end of the problem for that, not at me trying to get away from 20'ish enemies. I don't do this to single players, and I don't constantly streak through people I fight, only if they really prove a hard nut to crack. I don't like that playstyle, and I try not to do to others what I really dislike myself.

The biggest thing we learned from the PVP Event 2020, 2019, 2018, ...is people still complain. Sorcs streak, Templars jab. Nightblades crit due to stealth attacks. Yawn. I deal with it...cuz that's part of their skill line.

Got on multiple toons, multiple classes, and had no problems getting AP.

For two weeks of the year I am awesome at battlegrounds lol, now I retire to my pve cave until next year

Join a guild, run together, dump ulties when told, have a ballista and dont chase squirrels. Congrats you just became better at pvp than 75% of the playerbase.

MYM made me think I was half-decent at BG.

Cannot wait for reality to hit to teach me I'm actual trash.

The biggest thing we learned from the PVP Event 2020, 2019, 2018 - Everyone still cry about sorc, but nobody really play them. And when they try, they get killed in 2 sec.

Where have you been? This patch is full of sorcs, looks like everyone plays them, and no they don't get killed in 2 sec, they spam streak to run away after 2 sec of combat.

I have the most fun seeing people I played with in 2016 come back. I wish they would stay. Sadly, pvp will be dead again once this event is over.

gronoxvx

That zos flick a switch to make cyro performance somewhat better during the event then once its over revert it bag to its standard pile of trash.

You're missing the point. Every class should have a counter. Night blades can be countered with detect pots. Templars can be counters by simply jumping or stepping forwards. Sorcs' streak has absolutely no counter. Not calling for a nerf, but the skill should not have that much range. Maybe reduce it by 20%.

Only two sorcs killed me the entire event, and they were using a fully charged Thrassian setup. Every other sorc just streaked away until there wasn't a player to be seen anymore. Plus, I saw more sorcs this event than in the past few because of the new items, as well as Engine Guardian's buff.

The point is, if you're going to pvp, don't run like a b everytime you get caught up in a 1v1. Dying is part of learning from your mistakes so you can get better at the game.

The only thing I learned from the pvp event was that my original impressions are still the same - ESO PvE is great but for PvP it's so buried in character optimization and deep analysis of game algorithms that I'd rather play minecraft bedwars !

And endgame PvE is not "buried in character optimization and deep analysis of game algorithms?"

etchedpixels

Trials and vet dungeons maybe, but the storyines, questing and the like no, nor world bosses where the non deep analysis way to beat them is the simple and highly realistic approach of having 20 people beat the crap out of them simultaneously.

And it's a piece of endgame, not all of PvE.

Different things for different people - it's something I really like about ESO, you've got the mix and for the most part you can ignore the stuff you don't care for.
