3 stam wardens running in circles around trees, line of sighting and spamming trees with their 2 handers in hand with vigor popping off while being chased by 30 members of a different faction make me wanna just put my controller down and go play checkers.

only in Vivec when all alliances are full at prime hours i see lag and delays, otherwise not.

My problem is mainly balance.
Not all classes have unavoidable CCs.
Why is possible for a tank to deal the same damage as a glass cannon.
Why mag builds have to be drained of resources before they die, which is not easy.
Too much horse simulator, i would like Cryodill 5-10% smaller.

Garbage performance is what is killing the pvp. Cc break and many other broken stuffs that are supposed to work.

Game balance and proc sets.

We've got Stamdens circling rocks in fury while a horde of potatoes is unknowingly turning them into a 7k weapon damage god of dawnbreaker.

We've got Skoria Magblades/DKs spamming resto/corrosive ults on cooldown because they dont even need a *** damage ult. A meteor drops every 10 seconds for free.

We've got gankblades who never actually fight, they just alchemst ambush incap selene proc scrubs all day.

We've got permablocking magplars in the back mindlessly keeping their group of potatoes afloat with BoL, but when your outnumbered group takes a beating targeting them down, their earthgore procs and all hopes are lost.

The game could have been great, the combat system is like none other, yet this is what the game is now.

You cant sum it up into a poll and I would advise against it. It wont help. If you really want to help let this thread run for a while then distill it down into a well written easily digestible post.

The lag is so bad that half the time, the 40+ enemy is NOT rendering on my side until after I am dead. I much rather have the long load screens and be able to see the enemy.

For me it was no collision and a combat system that looks to me like people throwing hand-grenades at their feet to hurt others around them. Angry circles just annoy me and seem so lazy and circa 2000.

I think this game has its niche even though it's combat system doesn't really have any kind of connection to archaic military tactics, there is still teamwork and the clever use of the combat system's greatest weaknesses to provide your herd with an advantage.

The best thing about this game's pvp has always been the social aspect of it. And IMO the best thing they can do to preserve the base is to encourage more social interaction. The combat system's core isn't going to get revamped into anything I will ever enjoy, but i think there is room to grow the base for newer players.

The biggest reason for me is the massive disparity between builds and player skill.

This is a game where you can run into one player who hits like a wet noodle and dies quickly, and immediately after run into another player who hits like a truck and is immortal.

That, to me, is the biggest thing that shows how bad the balance in this game is.

Raise the floor, lower the ceiling, and make players a little more equal in PvP so that actual skill plays a role in who wins.

Disconnection is my main problem in big battles whether it's defense or offense, lag I can deal with as I have it all the time from my location other than that pvp for most part is great fun.

Last time people asked for that, zos killed two classes completely out of viability with their ''hurr durr sustain'' changes.

So no thanks, how about people learn how to build and play that build intead?

The lack of penalties for large groups standing inside of each other. I vote for less damage and less healing (on an exponential scale) any time more than 4 people are within 7 meters of each other.

I see tons of people complaining about Zergs. I think we should fix it the same way Planetside 2 did, as they have a similar conquest system.

Friendly fire. Then small groups can watch the big groups kill themselves! Would be great!

Both quoted for truth and insightfulness. However what we need is not friendly fire but a sort of inverse AoE caps where the damage of your AOE abilities is reduced by X amount per ally standing in the radius.

While I agree this would be cool I think it would grind the servers to a halt, since calculations would skyrocket.

I suppose people would use fewer AoE around allies and that may offset it some.

Would be worth a try at least.
