    Oh yes, there where certainly imbalanced and uber builds. But

    - no proc sets
    - softcaps
    - deer and torchbugs in Cyrodill
    - and most importantly, not as much lag with 1000 people on screen

    I didn't PvP back then, but I heard there wasn't any lag at all. My buddy describes performance back then as "working like witchcraft." :lol:

    To be honest, I wasn't that good in pvp and I still am not that great but pre-IC pvp felt much better and fun to play than what we currently have. Sure, there were balance problems but you could run whatever you wanted basically compared to what we have. Currently, we are funneled into only few stable setups. Most builds run the same sets only variation being the damage set choice within 2-3 sets. Compared to this, I saw pretty cool and unique setups pre-IC. Procs, and poisons are top fun killers really. I miss pre-IC fun times.

    Morrowind is by far the worst patch for pvp.
    I cant even tell, if the classes are balanced, because everyone is killing everyone with procs.

    @Emma_Overload @MisterBigglesworth Eso never had good pvp? :D

    No. ESO PvP has always had some tragic flaw, usually several. The ONLY time in ESO's history when I could truly say I enjoyed it for hours on end was during the brief era of "Arboretum Deathmatch" in the Imperial City. I used to make 100K AP per night in the Arboretum! ZOS killed that after a few weeks, however, when they introduced flag capture to the IC districts and screwed up the respawn mechanic.

    Cyrodiil, of course, is and has always been a boring Horse Simulator.

    If we can let aside issues with proc set, think it's safe to say we currently have the most balanced patch between classes.

    But you can't put it aside. What is the magica classes equal balance to viper with either velidreth, salene, or tremor scale? No magica class has a two button kill combo with no defense.

    Are there so few of us left from launch day or even "pre 1.6" that there are no time frames for this period?

    Some significant times from my perspective included into this "pre 1.6" :D :
    • Beta (particularly PvP Beta) - Probably my favorite. Pure hype, we were all given maxed out characters with generic gear and told to test skills and the feel of PvP. Absolutely amazing.
    • Launch - Raw recruits faced off, you could find small groups of people everywhere and fights with non-min-maxed builds were plentiful.
    • Era of ultimate reduction - perma bats, 3 cost ultimates etc. etc. Dark times in my opinion See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uq2-Zl1PETM
    • Era of Annulment - when many people discovered that you could shield stack annulment to return unlimited amounts of magicka on receiving any damage
    • 1.5 - As others have mentioned, 1.5 is often referred to due to its relative (up to that point) class balanced, lack of imbalanced CP, and dynamic ultimate generation.

    how does this poll not include anything before 1.6?

    Only 10 options so I just summed it up with before IC

    I see. 1.5 and 1.6 were fundamentally different game systems, so putting them together is very problematic.

    To me everything between IC and Morrowind is just a haze of a poor CP design, a lazy Battle-spirit "solution," class nerfs, infinite resources, and instant kills. Somewhere in there barrier got nerfed and heavy armor became OP, but it's all a blur.

    Now with Morrowind we are heading into a new era where the developers will continue to design the game, gear, and mechanics around 600+ CPs and expect no CP to work just fine. No doubt this era will also be a blur until something better comes out or some new developers get hired.

    There's close to class balance now. Bgs are ok and remove some stress from the main pvp servers but they're still pop locking. People are smitten with huge avava in a way I don't remember on PS4. Small scale feels possible and fun, yet those pooped out small groups can't control the bridge anymore which is right imo. I've seen a greater build diversity (I think this is because of proc sets, love em or hate em) which obviously makes the game more interesting. The grind is still very real, too. If devs fix unbreakable ccs I won't complain at all.

    Either thieves guilds or morrowind. Once heavy armor got buffed in dark brotherhood it was basically the beginning of the end. The only problem i had with thieves guilds was Magsorcs were way to good. Really the thieves guild magsorc was the most broken thing I've ever encountered in my time pvping
