    It is truly a great loss to our guild and the game to lose such a great player...

    if only it was correct..
    57.559 x 332,7 = 19.149.879,3 .. check his total dmg now.

    And like this one, i saw soo many parses (posted in guild chat) where the numbers didnt match at all. And it happens only to him? Cause everybody else have pretty ok ish parses.

    Also someone said you have better group dps basing on 1st vMoL boss. Do you know that you had the shield bug twice? it means that someone in your group had at least 300k dps for few seconds. And,even with this bug, i'm sorry to disappoint you, but your kill is almost the same as ours, without bug though.

    I respect you guys, but you are only flaunting your "dps superiority". Size matters i agree, but what you have proven yet, is nothing special.

    Thank you for still trying to keep the respect, and I do the same as well. I can't speak for everyone here, but for my point of view, the reason we show the dps is not to brag, but to show that there is nothing wrong. And telling that the dps is too good to be true, is in that case something special. The group dps is nothing special, it is more then average in the game, but nothing special. You guys have the leaderboards and experience and years of stable group, which is harder to achieve then anything else here in this game.

    My post is about end game in general. We have no videos about our groups, but lately we got alot of requests and players want to know what exactly is going on in our raids, so here we are posting. And first two comments I get is troll memes and then mashi attacks me with disrespectful posts. I have honestly done nothing wrong in this case other then supporting guildmembers and friends. If the dps Srslyfailer is doing, is too good to be true, then on his behalf (if thats a proper sentence XD ) we thank you for the compliment, that the most successful guilds out there are reacting that way on some dps numbers.

    If the case is as followed, that our group dps are good but srslyfailer is pulling so high number and its legit, that shows that the other 7 dds are way behind what they should have been. That show for me, that me among others have to work harder to achieve better group dps, and I take that as constructive critism.

    Again, there is not or have never been any intention from me to harm anyone, but as a grown up man here, I do not appretiate people making fun of me and attacking me or my guild members personally unless there is a good reason for it.

    As mashi mentioned he lost the respect for us, I personally asked him in pm if it was before or after my salty comment. It was a small "burn" from my side, but not any worse then the "burns" we have recieved lately. Btw, Im still wondering if the lack of respect was before or after my comment. Because if it was after that comment, I appologize for making players feel bad becasue of what I was saying. But if it was before that, I really do not see the reason at all, as we have done nothing wrong other then supporting and proving what we are actually doing in a legit way.

    I thought you guys had the experience to distinguish a legit parse to a fake one. I even made calcs, but you just ignored it :|

    Anyway, for me it's enough.. let's compete out of this BS forum posts :D

    These are not the "best" players. You're talking about min-maxers, here. The kind of people that don't understand MMORPGs to begin with.

    Good riddance.

    I smell the salty tears of someone who's probably never completed a trial on normal, much less hard mode.

    Losing players of any calibre due to defects in the game (issues which have been reported ad nauseam but ignored) is hardly an event deserving of "Good riddance"

    So many words outside my vocabulary I have no idea means, but it sounds supercool :D

    Anyway, for me it's enough.. let's compete out of this BS forum posts :D

    We have some videos where the post are not correct mathematicly compared to total dmg, as well as we have video about it being spot on correct, and I think we understand what is happening. Sometimes he posts very quick, and for some reason it is different when he post. Maybe because it didnt fully calculate yet, I dont know since I personally post ftc first, then waiting for combat metrics to be calculated. I really dont know, but we spend majority of our times trying to solve this. We have skeleton, helra, vmol all bosses and he still doing over 70k on hardmode, but due to our lack of recently activity in vmol, we had some whipes and prefere to post when we actually do a complete run instead of a run where we whipe and he might get cats in his aoe. We do not ignore at all, we take it very seriously, but we also ask for people not to ignore us. Yes, a few of us will brag abit which is totally fine with me :) It's different personalities I guess. I don't see what we are doing is bragging, but more showing and proving a point as an answer.

    Slightly different subject here, but when you had 55k on twins a while back as a chainer, I fell in love with you, literally. When I thought I was playing good, you showed me how much I have to learn. You among others extremly good players out there, made me look more to myself what I am doing wrong and how to improve. I understand if you and others do not agree with srslyfailer having legit posts, but if we someday can prove it wrong, I hope we all can look at it the same way as I looked at you, looking how to actually improving eventhough we all think we have reach our character's limit.

    It's not a complicated concept. ESO is an RPG. If you aren't playing a role in some fashion, then you aren't playing the game right. Sure, people pay their own money and they can play how they want. They can log in and spin in circles for all I care. But the OP has the gall to call people that don't have a role-play bone in their body the "best" players.

    Sorry, but no. These players are not the best - no more than a golfer that tries to putt with his nose.

    What if the golfer was pretending to be (roleplaying) a putter?

    Man it would be so awesome if healers could just roleplay being healers, tanks could roleplay being tanks, and dps could roleplay being dps. Unfortunately pretend dps doesn't earn a successful trial completion.

    @OrphanHelgen First of all sorry to hear that you lost a friend, it seems that many progressive guilds have issues at the moment to keep their groups together. People are complaining that there is no content but on the other hand it's extremely rare to find a leaderboard where there isn't a big gap between #1 and #2 so I don't know, if people are not motivated to compete with other guilds for a topscore you can hardly call them progressive players. I agree though that we are in need for fresh content but as I remember ZOS announced that there will be one trial/year and I think that is quite good, just remember the days when none of the trials were scaled to maxlevel after the IC release, endgame raiding was basically dead.
    I'm also lacking motivation to do the daily pledges and some other stuff but I guess it's natural after ~250 days playtime in a game. What I don't get is why on all of these discussions there has to be a battle between endgame and casual players, is Tamriel not big enough? If you're having fun in the game you're playing it the right way, and I'm saying that as a guy who's raiding 5 evenings a week. But if people find fun in doing something else it's their damn choice.

    Maybe people would have taken your post more serious if you didn't try to show off, I don't think that DPS of some people really matters in this discussion.

    Thanks flak. You are right, morrowind are right around the corner, and it was maybe the wrong time to post such subject, allthough my main point was that increase hp on monsters and make it months and months of "new end game content", is a cheap solution. I also remember the reason CP got implemented, so players felt constant progression through their mmo experience. If no new content comes and players become more and more powerful, I understand the rage about cp. But if we get new content with the character progress, it is balanced. So far, they increasing hp on already content and make that a valid new end game content for a long period of time, and the new content that have been released lately, are purely towards their personal money income and not towards the quality of the game (in my opinion). Don't get me wrong, housing are amazing to have in a mmo, but I feel they could weave it in towards other balance patches.

    Like I also mentioned, I got 39 more cp and lost 3k dps. If there was a clear reason to nerf, I would understand. But I used poisoned serpent set in a heavy attack build, and I have honestly seen no one uses that. I also used sunderflame, which was also a set that you rarely saw someone used. Two advantage I had with that set, was that on DW heavy attack, the fire dmg procced twice, and it could also crit. Both of those was changed in homestead patch, and it can no longer crit and fire dmg procs only once. Making it from 1k dps down to 250 dps in my build.

    Was this too powerful? Was in a problem or a qq on the forums? :) I haven't seen it atleast, yet they nerf it without a clear reason why. So from my point of view, even with sleeper build and non meta setup, I still get nerfed with multiple k's of dps.

    Ye I was playing stamsorc before the patch and got completely nerfed to the ground, it really does suck when you master a class and all of a sudden you hinder the progression of the team if you keep playing it. My best on rakkhat prepatch was 65k but I didn't bring it to raids anymore since the patch so I dunno how much I lost, but I guess that it's 10k+.

    This post was written from a completely PvE perspective. and these "top players" are only going to be as good as their last hit. 2 months is a long time in this game. there was a time i knew everyone in the top 10 PvE leaderboards. now, i recognize half of them. meaning: yeah people leave the game, so what? they will be replaced and life goes on.

    they arent leaving the game because there's no progression, they are leavingthe game because they are getting burned out. Go buy a homestead. become a decorator. go PvP, the gameplay is usually very dynamic (meaning it changes a lot and is rarely the same) ((this includes sewers and city)). go do DB, TG, WG, quests and dailies. go play the auction house and become a world start trader. go get master angler. like seriously, it is NEVER this game's fault that you quit.

    You make YOU want to quit. there is too much to do in this game. If only one thing interests you and you get burnt out, thats on you. ESO was probably not meant for you to begin with.

    I heard the new raid coming with Morrowind was implemented just to trigger you.

    In all seriousness, at least, for as far as that is still possible

    LMAO. Also, I always go throw mudballs at roleplayers in Wayrest when I'm waiting for the raid to start.

    OMG dude, use some finesse.

    Go stand next to the roleplayers and emote "farts loudly" or something like that.
    Almost never fails to get a reaction and separates the real roleplayers from the wannabe pretend roleplayers.

    One time I did that and without missing a beat, one of the roleplayers emotes "inhales deeply"
    I don't think I've ever laughed so hard. Now that's roleplaying!

    Nah , not entirely. There is different personalities out there. From your point of view, it's all their reason to quit becasue they are bored / burned out. But in this case, it was not about that. It was purely towards the game performance. I even asked specifically if it was the game itself or the community, which would be no problem at all and had my fully understanding. Raiding in eso is good, very very good. but it can be better :) More maintencance, better reaction to exploits and new contents and proper balance to name a few.

    Ive been playing on and off since Beta. I main a Stamsorc. I have followed guides on gear from min-maxers the whole way through to try and increase my dps. I'm still only hitting 20k single target. Thus I feel like end game content is completely unavailable to me. The best in slots keep changing, constantly. One thing gets nerfed and you are back to farming new gear. The other side of the scale on this is it's actually ruining my experience trying to keep up with it. Its incredibly boring to spam refresh dots, and chasing those numbers, when it could be a game about survival and teamwork. A lot of bosses reflect this. So many of these dungeons are actually so fun to do, yet its this tiny community of min-maxers demanding harder content. The difficulty curve from vet-dungeons to vet-dlc dungeons for example is very ostracizing. I'm of the argument that content needs to be a gentler curve. because there's a lot of us that have paid for this game and don't get those parts of the content.
    To me this is where the attention needs to lie:

    Period. Less endgamers = more clown store crap.

    More team = more elitism. Dont you see the pattern? Also dont put words in my mouth, I didnt say engame is the only staple income. Theres more than that. pvp is another staple. Any reason to keep getting better hooks in players. Casualsare a seasonal flux that come and go, but the're just here to check out the menu

    Your assessment is incorrect. There are plenty of casuals, the bulk of the player base that play every day and keep on going. Played that pull 10-20k

    Wow ill go get my 10 buckets of popcorn gor all that salt you currently have lmao thats pretty silly to say they dont understand an mmorpg since the game basically revolves around them finding out high hitting builds and broken things that zos wont catch until long after theyre in the game. Thid game would be totally different if all the theory crafters decided to take a break or leave everyone would be running around in galerions revenge heavy attacking things and gettin like 15k dps saying ohhh look at the pretty colorsXD

    First off - I love min-maxers. They try stuff out, they notice when small things are broken because they measure everything. If they make guides I'll most likely end up watching it at some point in the game.

    Having said that though I never started a game because of "them" and I never quit a game if "they" left.

    I browse the internet, read magazines and pre-/reviews. Once my interest is piqued I might check out some streams etc I find on youtube about gameplay.

    So I'm sorry if anyone leaves for whatever reason but at the and of the day it's a natural cycle. All the best to each one of youse.

    The vMoL peeps, the hardcore raiders, are an impressively small part of the community that often completely forgets how to help others get to a good level in game, and forgets that others might not care how many times they beat Rhakkat over the head. I, and I imagine most players don't measure our success in a dungeon by how high our DPS/HPS is, but on how well the group does as a whole. Gilirion doesn't care that you hit the Valkyn for 50k while the rest of the group died, he just cares that you killed him.

    A lot of comments like this here. But you're mistaking vmol peeps with elitists, yes the sets overlap, but no they aren't equivalent. One of the guilds I'm in, for example, does help others to get to a good level. They take people for their first runs in vmol, and some of them need a lot of practice and changes. And I mean - a lot. I'm talking not maintaining taunt/position, I'm talking not providing enough support to the point where others can't do their job effectively (a dps with no magicka = 0 dps), while other groups I run with (including the same guild) there are no such issues. And I wouldn't know how DPS perform, but I don't remember last time I wiped due to the lack of DPS. Regarding DPS, they make sure you reach a certain benchmark before you are taken to vmol, so that removes the issue I guess. Admittedly, that benchmark is higher than it could be - it increased in homestead even though nothing changed in vmol :) But they do help you reach that point - you just need to try and ask.

    Understand, that DPS requirements are not just a leader's whim. Vmol itself has them. The very first boss checks your group's dps and if you don't pull your weight - you slow everyone down, drain healer's resources and if the whole group's DPS is lower than some number, then you just won't survive that phase. Yes there are guilds that are competing for #1 spot, but not all vmol groups do that. And even those groups have DPS requirements if they know what's good for them. And it's reasonable to ask people to pull 30k+ on a dummy, especially with all the new sets and latest buffs. I'd say low 30s, like 33k, to 35k are definitely reachable.

    Nice diagram, but it's wrong on the top. Reminds me of 2014-2015 when I tanked and people thought only DK and maybe templars can do it, but no - completed everything on a NB tank back in the days and first DLC dungeons as well (with V14(cp140) gear and what - 200cp? that we all had when IC was released). Quit tanking after vMA was released because I don't have enough skill points for everything, so can't say it as if I was tanking myself, but still. Vet trials and vmol in particular can be completed with non-DK tanks. In fact, just this Saturday I cleared it and our group has a NB tank. Moreover, we got a speedrun, void avoided, fang focused with that tank, too. And I'm 100% sure a NB can tank HM, we'll get it if we keep trying.

    Maybe you need to add 1 more level - top #1 score competition and maybe there "non-dk tanks and non-templar healers need not apply" will be true. Maybe.

    Personally im in this boat. I have nothing to do on 2 characters, and sorry the current state of PvP (since 3+ updates ago) is just silly, especially with that 1 button 3 proc set heavy armour builds, unkillable builds and 1 shot builds.

    I log in, do crafting writs on 8 characters and log out. I only stay in the evening for my PvE raid guild, once that is done i am off.

    I used to PvP like crazy back when VR10 was max level, but slowly PvP has just....degraded in my opinion. PvE is in the same boat, everything is dead easy and super repetitive and the grind for...well anything has reached a point for me that its not worth it.

    Even as a crafter we have no need, since everything you grind and farm from mobs/bosses/monsters. You only need 3 skill points to reduce the number of alloys and make the gear legendary and poof, you are done. Back in the day, crafted sets were the way to go in PvE and PvP.

    I was in ESO since beta, i still am going to be playing ESO, but right now i could not care less for any grinding/achievments my main does, just log in do whatever crafting i need (the rewards from surveys are nice) and just raid and go offline.
    mDKs still need a lot of love!

    We just lost one of our best players because of disconnects and end game priorities. Customer supports are not taken seriously. It's almost like the answer are auto replies based on the subject. The best players will keep dropping out. If game continues like this, the meta will have a lower standard.
    These are not the "best" players. You're talking about min-maxers, here. The kind of people that don't understand MMORPGs to begin with.

    Good riddance.

    Wow ill go get my 10 buckets of popcorn gor all that salt you currently have lmao thats pretty silly to say they dont understand an mmorpg since the game basically revolves around them finding out high hitting builds and broken things that zos wont catch until long after theyre in the game. Thid game would be totally different if all the theory crafters decided to take a break or leave everyone would be running around in galerions revenge heavy attacking things and gettin like 15k dps saying ohhh look at the pretty colorsXD

    yeah because on a scale of 1 to 100 there is only two numbers. 2-99 do not exist. And if people are having fun running around naked chasing squirrels and butterflies more power to them. This is a game. If you are not having fun or it feels like a grind you might be doing it wrong. If you are having fun and enjoying yourself then you have the game figured out.
    and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."

    Can you elaborate on what have thus been nothing but vagueposts? You seem very convinced about something but it's not clear what. I'm actually curious
    It's not a complicated concept. ESO is an RPG. If you aren't playing a role in some fashion, then you aren't playing the game right. Sure, people pay their own money and they can play how they want. They can log in and spin in circles for all I care. But the OP has the gall to call people that don't have a role-play bone in their body the "best" players.

    Sorry, but no. These players are not the best - no more than a golfer that tries to putt with his nose.

    I heard the new raid coming with Morrowind was implemented just to trigger you.

    In all seriousness, at least, for as far as that is still possible

    LMAO. Also, I always go throw mudballs at roleplayers in Wayrest when I'm waiting for the raid to start.

    OMG dude, use some finesse.

    Go stand next to the roleplayers and emote "farts loudly" or something like that.
    Almost never fails to get a reaction and separates the real roleplayers from the wannabe pretend roleplayers.

    One time I did that and without missing a beat, one of the roleplayers emotes "inhales deeply"
    I don't think I've ever laughed so hard. Now that's roleplaying!

    Just woke my cat from laughing.

    I'd justmlike to pointnout that the topic of thisnthread appeared to be aimed at zos fr nt taking care of glaring gameplay issues. Judging by where the comments are comming from and where they're aimed at with non-sequitar appreaches to incite megative feedback we csn really see where the 'toxicity' of the playerbase is comming from.


    Hey I tried!! I really did. But yeah. These are the problems we face. Roleplayers regarding min-maxers as toxicity, and min-maxers throwing mudballs at the roleplayers. Round and round it goes.

    I'll try and say it one last time before I throw my hands up in the air. If it weren't for every single one of us, no matter how we play the game, then the game would not exist. The home building types and roleplayers are the ones spending crowns to keep the game financed, the 'min-maxers' are there to get the loot and contribute to the in game economy. The crafters and traders keep the min-maxers AND the home builders / roleplayers in gear, potions and furniture. Without every single component the game would fall apart. And here we are bickering like children, and flat out inciting negative attitudes towards each other with our actions.

    /sadface




    You are true to your forum name. You're using logic and common sense. Well done good Sir!

    Unfortunately, this is the internet. With so many, you'll just get a blank stare, or venom tongue. You'd probably do better to just go outside and find a polite fence post to talk to. The conversation will certainly be better.

    Well regardless of all the opinions here, people are dropping like flies, lost over half of my guild so far, people angry over nerfs, ignored bugs and tired of waiting for anything to be fixed. Game is in the toilet and we are all just waiting for someone to pull the handle.

    Except RPERS, they love it, housing seems to have bend made just for them, since it has no actual functionality like storage or anything.

    We got the skeleton, even the robust one :) But yeah, other then that, I believe there have been lack of focus and priorities.

    You may want to talk to whoever is running your guild. My guild stopped recruiting four months ago because we were growing too fast and we still get folks asking when were going to open up membership again. We aren't virtual larpers or a gank guild either. Honestly the core audience seems to be TES players, and refugees from EQ II, Lotro, and GW2.

    I think raiding guilds are having a hard time because ESO isn't a raid centric game.

    I have a friend who has come back from beta solely BECAUSE of the thieves guild and housing expansions. He's had the game for over 3 years and is still a level 38 Khajjit Skooma addict with a den now that he can build and stuff he can pinch to pay for his habit. In my opinion he is one of the 'best players' in the game because he's always friendly, always happy, and loves the game as it is now. We 'lost' him a long time ago due to the lack of the old Elder Scrolls feel, but now he's back.
    That really doesn't matter because he isn't one of the best players. He isn't even level 50.

    By your logic literally anyone can be the best player , and that is just beyond absurd.
    There's many sides to the story, and many definitions of 'best players'
    No there is not. I hope you realize how silly you sound

    Describing anyone as one of the "best players" begs the question: "best at what?"

    You might have in mind the top endgame PVE dps players, while for all we know, Logicbomb's friend could be the #1 or #2 top bosmer roleplayer NA.

    There are others considered the best at amassing lots of gold, the best at making friends (or enemies) in zone chat, best grinders, best guild masters, best node harvester, best flaming oil pourer, best tree LOS, best housing light extinguisher, best emote dancer etc

    I didn't think the word "best" would trigger the community this much, looking at this as maybe the 20th comment about the word "best". So I guess I didn't think much when I created the headline, that's all.

    I'm sorry but not everyone has time to sit for hours practicing animation cancelling and getting 56k dps. I finally got in a trials guild and had to drop out because it's so time consuming, but yes I still want to play the game. So, no ESO doesn't need to cater to you people that play and do this and only this. Sorry, you're mad you give all your time to something and it isn't returned tenfold but that's not how it works when a company has multiple customers and not just you.

    I will admit housing is useless, and I haven't even thought about trying to get one. But, motifs and other things aren't. Catering to a more general audience has always been what companies do because they're the larger percentage, whilst still giving the more dedicated gamers things to do hence why another trial and more dungeons are coming.

    You want something more challenging how about removing all those add-ons I see in the video and play from the perspective of a console player where you actually have to learn your timing of skills and pay attention to things other than just going through the motions. If you're such great and hardcore players make the game more challenging in any way you can instead of having 500 addons and yelling how easy it is.

    I don't think CP should be touched though, because although I haven't put in enough to be max cp I have a pretty good amount almost touching 500 and it'll suck to see it reduced to being meaningless. End gamers including the casual ones do need something to see progression. But, really ZOS needs not worry about anything except fixing how buggy and bad this game is performance wise. Recently it's been horrible and I don't care how much content they add if they don't fix that then everyone will be leaving.
