I wanted to provide a specific thread for those who need a place to let everyone know the future of Elder Scrolls Online if (Insert Change) goes through. Remember to be as ominous as possible, leave no slippery slope un-slipped, and please leave all lack of logic and understanding of the game behind.

Glad you created this. It's good to consolidate Over-reactions in one place lol, to save Moderators time and effrot. 😙

My Over-reaction:
I say ZOS will doom the game by creating the biggest Combat Nerf since Sony's NGE, where they re-skilled all classes to be exactly like WoW, and in the biggest single NERF in MMO history "Deleted the Creature Handler class from the game and compensated players by given you a max player class as replacement with an equivalent balance of skill points to spend on that toon.
This combat rebalance patch Killed the game as players said @#$% this, and left the game pretty much en-mass within 2 months.
Also ZOS will likely delete the Templar class 😁

My Under-reaction
Meh it's a test... 😛

"game is dead"

The balance team does NOT listen to players. Everyone wants Wavy Triple-Braided Updo back in the Crown Store, but they haven't told us when it will be back. NO transparency. If this hairstyle isn't back in the store soon, endgame PvE and PvP meta will wither and die like every houseplant I've ever owned. Calling it now. I am unsubscribing and moving into an off-the-grid cabin with no running water and no Keurig until society and the combat team have earned my money again.

Unless they do something totally unexpected like actually fix the performance, I do not mind if they set everything in fire and let the game burn down. That's simply business as usual.

As it looks like they are doing with the upcoming tests, Chernobyl was also an test.
I say most is an client issue unless you run in an huge group in an pop locked PvP instance fighting other large groups.

However ESO has software problems here, some people with good gaming rigs has problems. Now assuming they don't try to do Cyrodil with 4K and max settings this is an ESO problem.
Obviously its more of an problem on the original consoles who start getting weak as we get more and more flashy outfits and mounts. Lots of console players get serious problems in MoL because all the trash fights. Now that will be fun with 1/3 the AoE, obviously more fun later on with 1/3rd the healing and no way to heal more.

You have some option:On PC do an FPS check looking an an recreation of NPC bots doing an Alkir dolmen zerg during double XP event, FPS must be above 30 to enter. All configure the game to run smooth overland out of combat.
Have an secondary graphic setting for Cyrodil and perhaps an 3rd for trials.
You can always push graphic down to minimum who looks more like TES 3 morrowind.

And yes buying better servers for the core Cyrodil campaigns is an good idea. No reasons the 9 something servers need to be equal to the general ones who work well enough for for general stuff as in overland and dungeons.
Will not talk about dungeon and BG finder here.
But this will not help people crashing in Alkir.

And yes balance patches can solve lots of problems like overpopulation and login queues.

On the other hand be careful that you pray for as it might be granted.

Me for one was a bit scared getting n upgrade from my 6 year old i7 s6 core setup to an 12 core Ryzen 9 with 50% better frequency as the i7 has worked so well in ESO.
However looks like I can ignore ESO performance and it will obviously render and compile better. An 2GB m2 drive is also sweet.
