Is there an alternative to this pvp?

This games pvp is just awful. Segregated skills always leads to imbalances. The most skill involved in this game is resource tower spamming and that's not saying much. The campaigns are too long and usually imbalanced. Very limited fight mechanics. No real top end game design. Tons of rng. Most fights it's all about who has the most numbers, who has the best gear, who has the most CP's, or funneling and not a whole lot about fight mechanics.
So I'm reaching out to the pvp community and asking what else is out there? I would really rather go back to Cod than this and that's saying something.

✭✭So far other option is to find a dueling guild or something till arenas and or battlegrounds are added and seeing ZoS track record might be awhile before they are added.1 -

No game is for hardcore players. Almost every game that is successful to any degree will cater to casual and midrange players while having some satisfaction available for higher end players, but rarely (iof ever) hardcore gamers.4 -

So basically what you are saying here is you are dissatisfied in PvP in general, be it 1v1, 1vX, or XvX?Guildmaster of Power With Numbers in PS4 NA Server's Aldmeri Dominion.

Yeah true. Atleast games like cod everyone is on level playing field and if you don't like the people you are playing against/with just quit ,for free, and find a new match in 10 seconds or less, for free. People play endless hours of that out of fun and not bcz of rng.0 -

I like the xvx bcz then adding different or infrequently used skills really makes a difference but the way the 1v1 fight mechanics are really terrible.1 -

I'm sure small-scale PvP will have some mechanics to prevent endless duels. Perhaps a stale move mechanic that actually causes use of a specific skill to gradually decrease its effects if nothing is used in-between?Edited by UltimaJoe777 on July 22, 2016 4:01AMGuildmaster of Power With Numbers in PS4 NA Server's Aldmeri Dominion.

I like the fantasy element and having skills but it's just a button mashing spamfest. I was hoping for stuff like body position, timing, tactics, speed, power and accuracy to come more into play.0 -

To be fair those first 3 DO apply lol and I too would like to see some form of actual mobility apply in combat to cause various effects. For instance, leaping from a height onto an enemy and attacking them could do increased damage.Guildmaster of Power With Numbers in PS4 NA Server's Aldmeri Dominion.

Power.. that's obvious right? Lol. Also what? Lol
Accuracy also obvious? Lol. You can just be looking at the ground spamming a spamable.
And if you think your just gonna spam one ability the whole time your probably gonna get smacked.

You really feel like you have to aim ranged attacks? Yah there are a few. But most the time people spam those by starring straight down. No the aiming is a joke. Can you control the power you want to deliver your attacks? Yeah light attacks and heavy but not much after that.
If you think that there is much skill involved in this game then I truly feel sorry for you. Just run around cyrodil. Usually it's a group of CP 501s spamming a resource tower. Yeah it's truly pathetic.

✭✭There is something about the PVP combat system in this game that keeps me coming back and somehow I never get bored of it.
This is the only part of the game that I really enjoy. All the other stuff in the game I do only in order to become more competitive in PVP.
I suppose adding the monster helm vendor has motivated me to play a bit more than I had been. Now I try to play at least enough to buy 2 or 3 monster helms each weekend with AP.
Also, after subscribing I finally got access to the Imperial City, which is pretty fun and a lag free spot to go during primetime.3 -

Nope. I beat 501 cp all the time and I have 465 cp. Before DB I had like 350 and still was beating people with max champ points.
I wear purple armor. Nothing crazy about that.
I play solo or in small groups 4 or less. And beating groups that way outnumber you is always a good time.
It's just to bad that you couldn't figure it out. Sorry bud.
Not saying getting zerg'd down doesn't suck.

Let me guess. Nightblade? Am I right?
Ranged attacks was meant for the guy saying people don't spam 1 skill endlessly. It's not about dying in open world and yes I have beaten and lost to people higher and lower than me but really that's not what cyrodil is. I wish it was. Go play cyrodil for an hour and tell me how many fun battles you get into. Most of the time it's 20+people tower spamming until they feel that they have enough numbers and then they seige. If the seige is unsuccessful back to the tower. Someone puts up a tent on top and presto back to tower spamming.0 -

I have a few characters but yeah my main is a nightblade.. created at launch with no prior knowledge of how any of the classes would end up. No shame here.. he'd still be my favorite if they nerfed him into the ground tomorrow.
Yeah that happens.. you know what I do? Leave. How could you be playing for so long and, haven't wised up to this yet?
I get in cool fights all the time in between keeps, or at choke points around keeps.
