Stealth animation canceling nerfs + lag is killing this game

Fawn4287

Its obscene how poorly the game plays due to constant lag and performance issues getting worse and worse (I suspect due to decreasing server hire to cut costs and maximise profits). This is coupled with constant not mentioned nerfs to animation canceling which seems abysmal this update, bar swap canceling is absolutely broken and trying to do anything on this game gets harder. I suspect this is due to complaints from fresh players who see ani canceling as a skill they would rather complain about rather than master. The closing of the skill gap, due to both mechanical changes as well as changes to healing to make grouping and winning with sheer numbers as opposed to skill and tactics shows that ZOS is really only concerned with churning and burning short term players, rather than appealing to long term ones. Its lowering the skill cap to make the game more appealing to bad players, which in turn leads to more casual players continuing to play, plain and simple.

I can see why magdk and other dot heavy builds are so popular, not only due to DOTs outperforming a burst combo in the horrendous lag making a burst combo near impossible but due the entire tool kit being instant cast, single target dots which can be block cast and aren’t as buggy as other classes abilities, same with magcro bombing, a 3 button bombing combo is far easier than actually attempting to burst someone down . Its now turning the meta in to which is the easiest and most reliable class and build as opposed to which actually performs the best. Its a horrible direction for the game to move in but not expected, ZOS showing that their first and only Priority is to sell more copies of the game to new players on the back of the elder scrolls franchise, selling cosmetic junk and painfully grindy skill lines in the item store and leavIng everyone else to hang out to dry.

if ur talking about pvp, the population of dk's in pvp is 5%, the population for sorcs and nb's is going up over 60% for those 2 classes
