I miss old ESO PvP

Strider__Roshin

So I was looking at old videos remembering how fast and fun the game used to be. It was great when it was fast and easy to block, dodge, bash, or swap cancel animations.

Remember pre-IC when snares and roots weren't everywhere?

I haven't played the game in years because even though the game has never really been balanced it was at least fun, but with the cast times on instant Ults, the fact that bash cancelling isn't rewarding, and the fact that animation cancelling is being taken away more and more the game isn't the same. It isn't fun.

Not sure how many others can relate but this is a game that used to be a ton of fun and I wish I could come back and have a great time, but the direction the combat yeah went hit the nail in the coffin for me.

Anyways I keep checking the forums every now and again to see if the devs will reverse any of these changes that made combat slower, and less competitive but I have yet to see any signs of this. I wish you all well.

Dude tell me about it, i can hardly play longer than 30 mins without wanting to quit due to how slow,sluggish and clunky combat feels like. They need to revert cast times and the server side checks they added to skill cancelling because that coupled with the already bad performance makes pvp literally unplayable.

slotting Silverbolts back when everyone was a vampire was orgasmic, watching the procs near 1shot vampires and them breaking into tears was great, but yea even if balance was worst back then at least PvP ran properly, then they did that lighting overhall update and the games performance just crapped out

Strider_Roshin,

Where did you hear animation cancelling is being taken away? When?

The lag and disconnects are what gets me.

3 seconds to cast any skill.

Roll up to a heavily contested keep and you lose half of your group to disconnects.

Having to spam your ultimate button for 5 seconds and still not have it go off.

Breaking free several times and still being unable to move (But good job making the red tree 50% focused on the CC immunity you get from breaking free /s)

Siege being 'busy'


If its being caused by the anti cheat software, then Im pretty sure most people would take the cheaters over the lag.

Only performance rest is ok.

Bash cancel was one of the most annoying mechanic this game used to have as a requirement for any high end gameplay. I’m glad it’s gone.

While I think cheaters should be hunted down and banned, I'm hip to the rest of this.

I have had my bar greyed out for several seconds after being cc'd in some way and no amount of breaking free actually breaks me free.

Pots have gone the way of ultis; nothing happens when you hit the button.

Same when you roll up into a pile of lightening spewing sorcs. I simply stand still then get jabbed to death because my bar greys out and nothing works nor can I move.

But complaining about it doesn't do squat on the day to day, so I'm trying to deal with is as best I can.

Going away? Not quite, but the last time I logged in I noticed that my reverse slice no longer animation cancels, and if I were to try to use vigor and block cancel it the ability will show it's full animation with your character. It's been quite some since I logged in though. Maybe 2 or 3 updates ago.
