Dominoid · August 2015

It didn't take long for the other players on the PTS to get word that the devs were in-game. Calamity ensued.

Yes! It's more like pre-1.6 which was a lot more fun! It feels a little too slow honestly. I remember one 2v2 that probably lasted 5-8 minutes? It was a blast, but It seems these types of lengthy fights between "titans" are becoming the norm. I can launch multiple rotations of spells while stacking spell damage to only leave a dent to some folks (who know how to play). Its tough to say how it will play out in Cyrodiil as a whole since I've only played PTS in IC... I prefer PTS pvp over live, but I think it could still use some adjustments.

I think it's really funny they keep moving to other parts of the City after being "Overwhelmed" by all the reds descending.

Hopefully that fact sinks in to their heads and they change a few things before release to keep that from happening outside respawn /base gates/ and other entrances.

I also noticed:
- Character was V14
- Purple Crown Fortifying Meal (46:49): don't know what the stats are

- Purple Crown Tri restoration potion:
- Gives 7048 health, 6364 magicka and stamina, also gives major fortitude, major intellect, major endurance and increases all 3 recovery stats by 20%: Says stats based on level up to Vr5

- 11 plus legendary glyphs in their inventory

Mh, lemme get out my checklist:

- Within the first 40 seconds the devs are stuck in combat and cannot enter the Arena. Yeah, this is gona be a long one...

They don't even have enough respect for their own game's lore to use proper names (except one of them). How come I'm not surprised... :-/

Do you really think the developers ever took care of TES name? We all know what is this about. $$

I really dont like how they have managed this IC thing. A moba inside Imperial City.

I just watched beginning of the video, how they tried to take on that boss and then got harassed by some other faction player (im not sure if the player started harassing dev as they were trying to kill boss, or the devs started to harass a player who was just passing by and not looking for any fight).

The fight with boss looked like they were just running cloudlessly around. It was obvious their dominative skills were of DPS, most of them wielding two hand weapon, and on the other bar, they had "sword and board" equipped like if just for show to make people think "devs tank too", just to make people think they actually thought trough the unjustified nerf "0 stamina regen while blocking".

I also "enjoyed" how they were all cheering in 41:54 and being all happy from killing a lone afk player who was doing no harm to anyone.

Take off the tin foil hat, it's a nice day outside

TBH is one of the most stupid gameplays Ive eve seen. If you told me it was a teenager gameplay video It would be ok.

I feel like they were just randomly attacking everyone, they wasn't even aiming at people properly just spamming wb xD.

Techlisp · August 2015

I was playing ESO so didn't see that live. So thanks for posting that.

Awesome to see the dev's play like us regular people, with regular people. Because they are regular people.

Plus the action in IC has my juices overflowing.

Bring it on.

Xantaria · August 2015

the only problem is that this is soooo emberrassing. they have no idea how to play

Techlisp · August 2015

I have watched Dice dev's play Battlefield 4. And it is not pretty.

Barn door in front of face and not hitting comes to mind.

So give them a break. They were having fun. FUN!

dennissomb16_ESO · August 2015

I think the video showed the most important aspect of any MMO. Group with some friends and simply go have some fun. They didn't have to be min/max uber, they didn't rage when they died, they didn't face roll the content. They simply had some fun. When it comes to the forums, the concept of fun seems to be the last thing ever posted

Mighty_oakk · August 2015

Well atleast after watching that we now know for sure the dev team does not play eso

skillastat · August 2015

Wrobel build looked OP af, I'm doing the exact same in 1.7
