There are a lot of different opinions about the game, and reviews. Would be nice to see how the pvp community would rate its experience since its been more than a year.

Dont get hung up on the lines beyond the numbers, just felt hallow and negative to leave it blank with only numbers.

vAvg = 5.44 as of 136 votes.

    1 - PvP is not fun at all to me
    During 1.5 I would pick an 8
    Right now, thanks to 1.6 and console it's a 1

    PvP right now, due to bugs, lag and imbalanaces is nothing but a constant and unnerving series of aggravation for me. Every 10minutes I run into a frustrating bug, then after I die I have a 50/50 chance of getting another bug when I rez. When I'm not enjoying that I get to experience 1 shots from exploiters that roam free, 2 shotters from the terrible imbalances brought on by 1.6, Breaking free from CC every 5seconds, plus a GCD on break free, and weapon swap not happening fast enough.

    I should point out that it was a progressive drop in score, not all at once. As more and more of my patience wore out the score dropped. I suggest that anyone who is progressing to this point take a break from PvP for a week or two...or three. If you loved the game before do it before you begin to hate the game. That is what I had to do. We just have to survive this console crisis and everything will return to normal.

    I'm literally only still here because my computer doesn't run Witcher 3 very well, and there's no good alternative I'm aware of for similar mmo PvP.

    If ZOS actually knew how to run a business and keep a game in good condition, I would say 10.

    Daily Crashes are now just a price of playing PvP.

    There's a lot of good 'framework' for an amazing PVP experience in this game.

    Between lag and the insanely bad skill balances, though, on the whole this is a negative experience. Older, less technologically advanced games have handled the larger fights and the basic balance of the game (skill wise and population wise) much better than this supposed next generation MMO of Elder Scrolls Online has.

    ZOS has a lot of work they need to do to correct their mistakes.

    Console's released. They no longer have that excuse.

    Fix the basic issues in PVP. It's time.

    ZOS is on the clock and it will be a death knell if they fail.

    As veteran osx client user, I believe you are insane to continue to pvp on it.

    Get a copy of windows 7 rolling bootcamp on your MBP, reinstall the game on it. Make sure your bootcamp partition has a crap ton of space, I had to redo and reinstall for 1.6 after running out of space. You will notice a huge difference.

    They really should remove the CP buffs from blackwater. I would be willing to give them up to keep it fare and fun.

    Figured I would lean towards the generous side. When the game works correctly and when there is NO lag the game is very, very fun. When it breaks it is very, very NOT fun. But even in the lag I can find a way to have fun either by /w my enemies or being a hopeless flirt in teamspeak. o:)

    Not really sure how to rate it.

    10 on some days, 1 on others. You get both extremes do to the fact that it doesn't seem that ZOS actually understands their game or how it works in large battles with lots of server load.

    Could be a solid 10 if ZOS payed a shred of attention to PvP since launch instead of just cashing out at any opportunity and now spending all the time on Con$ole.

    Exactly!

    Just had the same EP jerks from Thornblade, who went to Chillrend, and now are visiting Thornblade again, and every time they show up they bring their same old crap, spamming meteor and such to lag the server up. When DC and AD go against each other we don't get that freaking crap. It's just those jerks from EP who cannot win an assault unless they go in a zerg ball and spam/lag the server once they breach the walls.

    Or they spam lag the game when anyone tries to capture their keeps, so we cannot put down siege.

    That's why AD and DC keep fleeing whatever campaign those EP players are in, we want to enjoy the game, not suffer their lag.
