whats the incentive to buy the next dlc with the new OP weapons when i cant use them?

Renegader

I can tell you right now, i dont buy dlcs for the content. i dont care much of questing, dungeons or trials.

I care about competing in pvp, and for that i want the new meta sets (often in the form of dlc). What i see zos can do is either
A: Release new meta sets that fit the description of a non proc/condition set and will be meta for the remaining 3 months after oblivion is launched
B: Release new meta sets that IS a proc/condition set and will be meta once the tests are over.

There is 0 reason for anyone like me to buy the dlc early, since its hardly worth it to buy something just to be competetive for 3 months, and its also hardly worth it to buy a useless zone with meta gear you cant use.

Speaking from a PvP perspective with cyrodiil in mind.

I'm somewhat sorry to state the obvious, but I think you've answered your own question. IF (according to your own above statement) the ONLY reason you purchase new content is for new pvp content, and the current cycle won't allow you to use the available content for PVP, then there is NO reason for YOU to purchase the new content.

However, for a wide variety of OTHER consumers, for whom PVP is not the only (or sometimes even any) consideration, there are lots of remaining reasons to purchase the content.

I mean, I'm not entirely sure why you made a post at all, unless it was an attempt to alter the marketing team's focus on future content. Buying dlc's for the next 6 months (or however long the anti-proc test lasts) is absolutely something you should not do IF, as you say, your only interest in dlc is for pvp content which won't apply during the no-proc test sequence.

mystery solved.

It's another SCREAM to ZOS that is slowly killing the PvP aspect of this game. Hell they might aswell disable PvP outright now as atleast we within the PvP community will have some perspective then.

I've been shifting my focus to more end game PvE and even there i can start noticing the terrible performance and things just plain not working as they should be.

ESO is not suited for anything remotely competetive. [snip]
