last time i played pvp in eso it was twilight + underworld + bots VS normal players that was 2 years ago.... and from the looks of it... things havent improved since

Nevermind

Constant lag. Huge amount of bugs, massive nerfs and imbalance.

I used to love pvp on this game, but it's just getting worse. I don't even find it fun anymore tbh, and it's a shame since I only pvp.

My personal gripes (that make me want to PvP less and less) are:

1) More and more stupid proc-based gameplay.
2) Crass imbalance between classes (especially open world).

It's dying, but not for any of the reasons OP is implying in his post.

The ridiculous lag during active hours, constant DC'ing, sprinting into load screens, desyncing at keeps - these are the major causes. Combined with an overall lack of innovation as the rest of the game continues to pump out new content, and you've got the reasons why ESO PVP has been decreasing in population ever since shortly after launch. A great concept that's been ruined by server performance.

Found it more activity because of the combat strategist set.
Probably weak this week as most are doing dungeons, but was lots of activity two weeks ago.
Yes lots has performance issues, did not have any then I was on an pvp streak but still get scared then the postern door is repaired and you get an loading screen.

In short, better initiatives and better performance. Note reducing graphic in cyrodil and trials might be an silver bullet here.

more so its a mess, balance is so abysmal, insta gib combos exist, stealth is incredibly strong, some tank setups are so strong they can solo keeps/BG teams and most builds are just not viable (this somewhat extends to PvE as well) so you end up with a boring cookie cutter builds everywhere.

Also, all alliances have *** that message you to whine about being bested, in pvp and pve.

Nothing new to see her at all. The only problem with pvp is the lag IMO.

Nice troll on "ESO PvP is in a healthy state", any reasonable person would say something different.

PvP is dying because lag, a lot of broken stuff and because there are not enough incentives to PvP. The times where players were PvPing for the sake of PvP itself are long gone. The PvP titles are nothing special any more, AP is useless and PvP itself sucks because you either find no person to fight or 20 people that are going to chase you and your 2-3 friends for 10 mins for juicy 50 AP - so skilled, much wow, zerging noobs.

By adding stuff like this *** new bow (blackrose prison bow) and having skills that stun, defile or damage you for way too much from 40 m range, they are giving too much power to players who do not deserve it. Some people might even say PvP is too casual friendly.

..and 4 years and ZOS still has not managed to spread the fights.

never on PC EU stood more than 5 mins in que for BGs. Usually it joins up in 1-2 mins.

you should have added 4-th option 'dont care but hope it will die' :-) a lot of people dont play pvp and are actually annoyed to be unable to do PVP zone quests or other things as they keep getting killed.

Even with all that is wrong with it. Hasnt been this good in years
