Another cry against Skirmishers in Cyrodiil on PTS

Gyudan · January 2015

I'm an EU player. On our side we only have templates, without WAYSHRINES, which makes testing particularly painful.

In order to test the values of the new Mundus Boons (that are completely changed by the way), I went to Cyrodiil with my sorcerer template. After testing a few boons in my alliance's zone I went to the Dominion's side to test the Apprentice.
There I got ganked by another sorcerer, I ran away with streak for a very long time, but he managed to chase and kill me.

Due to this worthless piece of guar dung's action, I won't be sharing any character improvement-related testing here. Feel free to go get them yourselves.

Only this: Thief stone is no longer a valid choice.

Trial gear is awful for cyrodiil, just wait for a ~week and test with your own character once they get copied.

It's better than going naked at least ...
I didn't start the fight, I was horse-riding and he ganked me. All I did was escape. Who would do that on a test server? Oo

perhaps he was testing something on you?

clearly you weren't cooperating...

Look man I understand where youre coming from but I also unerstand your attacker. Were all excited to test and pts pvp can be hard to find. You concented to pvp when you entered the zone and stones can be found elsewhere.

Never was, Shadow always will give you more dps when you hit 17% crit chance mark, idk why anyone ever bother using thief after they fixed stones.

I have to agree here. Just let the players wearing the bright purple vr14 trial things alone.
You´re not doint pvp you´re basically slaughtering naked ppl that is how awful the "endgame" gear is.

Lady ist around 1500 armor
Atronarch is 398 magica reg in full light high elve (holy crap)

... except the wayshrines are not discovered. For example, to get to the Thief stone in Alik'r Desert, I'd have to ride through through the entire map, from West to East. (and ride with a basic white horse of course)

Shadow is not good either now with the big nerf to crit chances. I'll let you figure out your new boon for yourself. ^^

But I was killing people in my bright purple trial *** yesterday

Just wanted to test how things work in PVP, like stam drain. But I only attack people who look like they want to be attacked, lol.

Use the Rapid Maneuver, it gives you a 40% speed buff now and can be used on horse.

Ganking has no place on the PTS. If you want to test stealth attacks, then go to a PVE zone or coordinate a test in Cyrodiil with a friend. You should never interrupt someone else's testing. Your testing or play time is not more important than theirs. Go to the live server if you want to gank and leave the testers alone. The excuse of Cyrodiil being a PVP zone does not fly on the PTS.

oh god here we go again *grabs popcorn*

Agreed.
