DAMN! I Miss the Old Days, Bruh!

Ch4mpTW · September 2016

Do you remember the glory days of PVP? When there were 300 people all going at it, and waves and waves of people just going at it nonstop? When Azura's Star wasn't a non-CP campaign, and it would be so jam packed that you'd have to wait sometimes an hour just to get in? Do you remember those days? Do you remember when you could reflect meteors back, and then reflect the reflected meteor back? The good ole' days. The days when Coldharbour siege would be up and if you got hit or someone got hit by 1, chaos and madness would follow? All because they had invisible effects, and you'd never know where they were hitting and coming from. All you knew was that you were burning up, and fast. You remember the glorious days when being a MagDK vampire meant something? And you were a king? Better yet, damn all that. Remember when "BlockKnights" were a thing? And people still managed to do beautiful with stamina-based builds, before all of overtuned bs that stamina has become...?

Do you remember when you wanted to be, where everybody knows your name? *Cheers opening theme music chimes in.*

Bruh... I just thought about how amazing it was fighting as a Sorcerer back then in PVP. Back before the nerfs to bolt escape and conjured ward. Hit people up with the frags and pulses and shocks, and then bolt away when things got too heated. Drop down the mines and boogey out of there, before you got your wig split. Sorcerer Vs. Sorcerer fights would be something epic. Shield stacking, and lightning racing. Whoever ran out of magicka first died, and hope you didn't get caught with the Inevitable Detonation and Velocious Curse nuke. Otherwise, it was a wrap for you. It was a true adrenaline rush to the fullest in terms of Sorc-on-Sorc combat.

At game launch there were nasty memory leaks that had my game crash every 15 mins. Bugs that rolled over from beta. Eventually ZOS fixed it to where PvE was fine but in Cyrodiil, 10 mins and game crash. I couldn't PvP until that August. I missed the war in Wabbajack.

I just had an epiphany. Everything was balanced and diverse back then. Seriously. There weren't as many NB's back then as there are now. There weren't as many Templars either. It was truly a mix of: DK's, NB's, Sorcs, and Templars. True story. Think about this for a moment. Anybody else notice this...? Think long and hard about PVP back when VR12 and VR14 were level caps, and reflect on the blend of players. WTF have you done combat team?

CherryCake · September 2016

Omg yes! Last week went to pvp but people were all dividing themselves not understanding we have to be together to win...

I remember the good old days....when DKs were unkillable Tanks and Sorcs used unlimited Bolt Escape as a cheap and fast travel skill. When forward camps have been placed by scouts anywhere and suddenly a zerg spawned at an empty keep. Blood porting within seconds, not riding from one keep to another.When NBs and templars were so weak you rarely found some. When people posted videos of how they tanked 40 templars at the same time. When DKs had unlimited reflect with their wings. When blockcasting was the way to go. When Sorcs out of nowhere bolted in and stunned all players (no AOE caps), aoe spammed them to death and bolted away with no chance of defence. The time you could sneak twice as fast as a horse at full speed. The time when 90% were vampire DKs or vampire sorcs. When nobody wasted a thought about "balance". A time when animation canceling was declared a serious exploit, and a fast fix was promised. (No joke, that's actually true).

But we had good times, too. When we had 10 campaigns running, each of them full with players. Hundreds of players on screen without lags. When a campaign wasn't "full" with 100 players farming in IC. When a handfull of players couldn't lag out a siege with a little bit of AOE

Khajiit she too remembers the good old days Bruh. When the ale at The Rosy Lion cost less than the penny for the biggest jug. When fine rat pie with crispest pasty could be had for a pittance. When Imperials greeted this one with a friendly wave rather than with the scowl and the dagger. When the sun it always shone and King Emeric freely opened the wardrobe doors and trunks for all. When pigs were fat and corn grew high and handsome orcs waved as they passed you by.

Well khajiit thinks she remembers. It is of course so possible that this was just a dream this one she has last night as the head it rested on the cobbles of Daggerfall.

What is with the Bruh that keeps appearing in your posts. Not like i'm stalking you or anything.....
But I really like this trend. So:

Yeah Bruh, I remember it was good times then. No lag in the server, and good ol killing each other without skirting around objects. Good times Bruh good times.

And last night....Cyro was full of people trolling some guy who claimed to be a professional footballer and gamed every other sec of his life. All hail console text chat.

Mic1007 · September 2016

Yeah, I remember when DKs and Sorcs were super OP, and Nightblades and Templars were nonexistant as both classes were broken. I also remember when Bat Swarm could be spammed. This was also the time of Elder Staves Online, when Stamina as a whole was terrible in PvE. That was a dark time, not a fond memory.

You make so many threads

If we could have that with the balance of 1.5, would be such a great game :'( much closer to decent balance than now

I knew this would pop up. Ok so they were overpowered, but the other classes were way better than the doomsday naysayers claim. NBs could permaswarm just as much as DKs. Templars were good too, I just don't know how exactly because I've never played one lol. And yea stam wasn't a thing, but that was by design- the unbalanced stam meta we have today was because whiners didn't like that weapon lines supported class lines. It was a much better game than we have now.

Truth! Game felt way more balanced.

Dont you play on console? 0.o

ku5h · September 2016

Yea i miss the old days to when acronym "bruh" didn't exist. Makes me cringe every time i see it.

Mic1007 · September 2016

Didn't feel much balanced to me. There's still a video of that DK Vampire Emperor standing in the middle of his Standard using the dance emote with enemy players falling like logs around him. That's not balanced.

Nightblades started to permaswarm after they got sort of fixed. And Templars were terrible. They were regarded as the "ineffective weaker Sorcerer."

I agree that around 1.6 the game felt much more balanced, as all classes were viable at that point.

Nowadays for the most part, yes. But, I play on both Mac and PS4 to be honest and straightforward with you. I've been around since beta, bruh-bruh. o.o

Yes i remember 1.6 being crazy balanced. No obe had cp, soft caps, even classe spread and the rank that meant something.

Ch4mpTW · September 2016

Lol... I just remembered how long it took to get Caltrops and Vigor back then. Let alone Magicka Detonation back then. Anyone remember the long grind for those skills were compared to now?

BruhItsOver9000 · September 2016

When everyone feared the mag dk, when sorcerers were op and could spam bolt escape, when nightblades were only good at ganking, templars were a joke and stamina was nonexistent, bruh i'm glad those days are gone.

Bruh, I don't know why people keep saying Templars were bad. I did amazing with my Templar back then. Not as good as my DK or Sorc, but still pretty damn solid.
