Logic, it eludes some people.
Perhaps...But I think the difference is this is ZOS' game. They wrote the engine, it's their code. Why would they create something like an MMO that they cannot easily troubleshoot? They literally have no idea what is causing the lag. Everytime they speculate as to what it might be, it turns out to be untrue. I guess I should give them credit for trying but c'mon a year of beta and then nearly two years later and it's just as bad as it's ever been.
Did they really intend on 20-40 people to occupy a space of 5 square feet and move in a tight ball? That's not even logical, not just from a military perspective, but just from sheer physics. And within this group you have people shooting fire and other projectiles, which only hurts enemies for some reason, and if anyone hits that group it can only hit up to 6 of them because ZOS.
We can probably think of several ways to penalize large groups that do this, but for some reason ZOS is either unable or unwilling to do it. Magicka detonation is pretty useful but it's at the end of the line so many people give up before they even unlock. We need more spells like that. Spells that do more damage the more people that are hit by it.
GROUP CAPS WILL FIX THIS!! CAP THEM AT 8!!

Do you use wb because its bugged or because its your only source of a strong hit? Myself, I decline to use the skill, I go s&b for the challenge.
I watched the video you posted yesterday afternoon in this thread, and noticed how often you hit people through stairs and around corners with your wb. Once saw you crit rush a guy in mid air.
Id like to know is this intentional exploit or is it just all you have? Not cool

There are going to be large pockets of pvpers that are gonna complain. Not to mention most dont care if the changes they make ruin pve builds even. God you guys make me laugh.
Yeah, I support OP. Listen to all these guys. Except Fengrush, he wants to nerf Templars. Don't listen to that.
Maybe we're getting old, but I'll never understand the appeal of watching someone else play a game on YouTube, and these people actually get PAID for this?! Bugger me.
Isn't it kinda the same as watching other people do sports? At least that's how I feel about it.
I can understand your argument, it's a good one, my statement was more directed to people who watch these small streamers on YouTube, not the big League of Legend tournos and whatnot. I can kinda see the appeal of the big money and glitz and lights side of things, I can see how that can appeal to teenagers, although it doesn't appeal to me personally.
If I used your comparison watching the YouTube streamers would be the equivalent of going down to the park and watching a bunch of hacks kick a ball around. I mean why would I when I can take my own ball and boot it around?
Is this asking too much? King Richard, Fengrush, sypher, Lefty_Lucy have basically laid out how to fix this games pvp and make it more enjoyable for everyone. Can these items be implemented? You can find them in the We Are ESO broadcast, among other outlets, can you please just listen to them?
Don't get me wrong they're pretty knowledgeable in some areas of the game, I just don't think ZOS should automatically do everything those guys agree on, especially when it comes to the Templar class, because none of the have any experience with it. All they see is Breath of Life spam, get annoyed, and then rant on their stream without wanting to discuss it in detail with their viewers. Fengrush is a main offender here.

I guess that makes sense if they are well organized raid, which yo me may be fine. But it make it harder for random pugs to group.
You mention s&b being almost as powerful as 2h. Do you mind elaborating? I just recently rolled a dk and trying to stick to s&b for pvp but finding it hard to finish off people with the lack of an execute. 2nd wpn is bow bit is open for change.
Aren't most/all of those people solo players? I'd rather see them plus several prominent small-group leads, plus several top-tier guild leads, plus a couple of pug wranglers for good measure weighing in. If you only have one type of player explaining their needs then you'd get a skewed representation that completely fails to capture the glorious diversity of combat in Cyrodiil.
True but, where are these small group leads and top tier guild leads and pug wranglers? Where is their podcast? Why haven't they spoken up? Probably because Cyrodiil is 300% better when you are running in full groups all the time. Their issues are few and far between compared to someone who wants to do more than follow a crown and mash buttons.

I don't get people. It is obvious that they complete forget Cyrodiil was designed to be a Warzone, not an arena. While you got to enjoy it small scale/solo, it's nice and the devs understand that and working on a place where you can do just that.
Cyrodiil was meant to be a place where large groups clash, where skilled players can take command and lead their group/faction to victory. Take a close look at the Alliance War skills, there is a reason why they are all support or aoe skills. The zerg is not the problem, the lag it creates is; that's what the devs need to fix. 30 vs 30 should be welcomed in Cyrodill with a smooth gameplay.
Those streamers, while I enjoy the way they play at times, do nothing for the war and only play to show their skills on stream going solo. I'm happy they will get the battlegrounds they demand, but the devs should not listen to them and take away what Cyrodiil has.
But please ZOS, for the love of God, FIX THE LAG!!!!

I agree that cyro is meant for large scale PvP - entirely in fact. I dont expect to fight those full raids alone either. Im more often than not in groups so - Im not sure why youd say we all dont do group play. I had always led a 4-8 man group through release and early game. Everyone from my group has since quit the game largely due to AOE caps and performance problems... so again, with you on that one.

My point may not apply to everyone and I'm happy you can prove that for yourself, but it still does for others.
Playing solo/small scale is not a problem, if you have the skill for it you should. My point is, solo players should not expect Cyrodiil to change in favor of small scale.

If you pvp 2-3 hours a day you are definitely not as qualified as someone who "plays eso for a living"
you also said that like you know what you are talking about lol, king richard has a job :P Im pretty sure fengrush, sypher and lefty do as well....
but even if they didn't have a job outside of playing eso, they would still be more qualified to talk about the balance seeing as all of their time would be spent playing eso...
would you want someone who flies planes 2-3 hours a day flying your jet at the airport or the guy that flies them all the time everyday?

Just want to point out am pretty sure non of them have Max CP.Their close but that's about it.I know @Sypher doesn't unless but he is close the same hasn't watched @FENGRUSH streams in about 2-3 weeks been busy but I don't think he has it either.Which might have changed King Richard doesn't have it either I believe but been mainly watching his BnS streams so he might have gotten it and I just didn't know .Game looks amazing thinking of building a rig for that and Black Desert.Taemethius wrote: »sirrmattus wrote: »And why should people who play eso for a living represent the whole eso community.

Silly goose your missing the point. Just because the people mentioned in the op had all the time to max cp and smash on groups of noobs with far less cp doesn't make them a expert on anything . Ask deltia. About all his wonderful builds.
Those people were all products of maxed cp and that is it. Any half with wit 3600 cp could kill a huge group or make a " special" build lol. The. Max cp made them " gods" not the actual gameplay.

My point is that you don't have to have Max CP to wreck players these guys are really good players and is it wrong that they can take on 1v10 no if they play better than those 10 players they should win every time and not be handicapped for being better players.

I don't either, but I do like that they bring issues up and start conversation even when I don't agree with them.
