    No... Actually, the fact that I'm connecting on a VPN and didn't have an issue, while everyone else clearly did have an issue, means it isn't really ZOS's fault. not specifically anyway.

    Seems like it's still a bad node if i'm doing OK and everyone else freezes.

    Think this shows ZOS has no VPN and what's going on today is probably a DDoS attack

    I don tthink anyone laughs at console players who do it themselves... but there isn't an addon that'll teach you ani cancelling or other PvP skills that are lackign in console players.

    I know what vpn services are. I don't play any pc games that require such low ping to require a vpn service. My internet in general is good enough to not require one. Usually under 50 ping on all games i play on my pc (i dont play pc eso).

    If anything i was being more sarcastic about the whole deal. Zos just needs to put some work into their server architecture. Its obviously imploding due to all the pvp traffic.

    @Thogard I'm pretty sure I just did a BG with you XD

    My ping tends to be higher when I forget to turn off my VPN, and these server hiccups are rare enough that I don't think it'd be worth that cost "just to be safe." But it might be useful to turn it on if people start reporting problems, because we all know that twenty minutes after they say "the issues have been resolved" we'll get hit by another wave.

    That's probably the most unique UI I've seen. I love how your reticle flashes a different color depending on which bar you're on. action bar split up like that would annoy the hell out of me though.

    It's actually a different color based on if i have an enemy or a friend targetd. the Flash happens every 1 second and its to help me get in the rhythm of the GCD.

    Actually....it would be an awesome ESO+ perk! You get a code for a VPN service (global) so you either get a free service or discount. :star:

    That UI xD

    I try to run a minimal setup, no floating damage numbers or combat reminders, buff trackers just little icons with numbers in them. Health bars show numerical and percentage values and buff and debuff trackers right under it. Also, wykkyd's toolbar and Minimap are active, unless in combat.

    It frees up a lot of visible space and lets you see things you might otherwise miss.
