dcmgti✭✭✭I still feel like population will be low for this test, even with double AP. I know some players will have these sets stowed away in a coffer but I think most will not. Not to mention the prices on these sets are already going up at a quick rate, the amount of transmutes you'll have to spend even if you have the sets collected and the amount of time you'll have to spend farming dungeons only to rely on rng.
Looks like IC will be a busy place again.

Most pvp players already have most of those sets and personally I think the no proc test will draw more people in that stopped playing because of the proc sets so I think the population should be fine. Not to mention some people just can’t resist double ap events.
My biggest concern is what kind of message if any will they have in game to alert people and will it have the set list. Many people aren’t on the forums and it would suck for them if they sit through an hour que to find out none of their sets work.

ne.ga.kurai_ESO✭✭✭...please let us have Gold instead of AP....
Hello Matt Firor, former designer / exec producer of DAoC (Dark Age of Camelot). Remember when you added gold drops from killing players in PvP? It wasn't much, but everyone loved it. It was enough to stay stocked on consumables and upgrading armor. It was a great help to people that refused to do PvE regularly.
You should do that.2 -

✭SHORT SUMMARY of NEW PVP TEST (15 Feb - 8 March)
Edited to enable clear-speak.
On February 15th, we will be disabling Item Set bonuses outside of pure stat gains in PC Cyrodiil.
This means any item set which has a proc, or condition which is driven by an ability, will have that ability disabled.
This includes Item Sets like Seducer, as that set reduces Magicka cost abilities by 10%. That reduction of cost is done via an ability, which has to check anytime you cast an ability if it’s cost should be reduced.
The full list of Sets which are not affected by this test:
Amber Plasm
Armor of the Trainee
Beekeeper’s Gear
Crafty Alfiq
Draugr Hulk
Endurance
Fortified Brass
Grace of the Ancients
Hunding’s Rage
Impregnable Armor
Law of Julianos
Leviathan
Mother’s Sorrow
Plague Doctor
Spinner’s Garments
Spriggan’s Thorns
Willpower
Agility
Updates:
- We are planning for this test to run for at least 3 weeks
- Jewelry traits will not be affected during this test.
- Any sets that are just stats will work, and you can still equip the items. This includes one-piece Monster sets.
- You may wear proc sets but you will only get the 2, 3 and 4 piece set bonuses from eg. NMA
- You will get double AP will be active for capturing and defending keeps, resources, and outposts, and killing/healing other player characters.
- PvP quests such as Bounty Board quests won't give double AP
- Players will be able to cast abilities on allies and will not be restricted to group targets only. Abilities which target/can be triggered by players outside of your group will once again function as they do outside of Cyrodiil.Edited by marius_buys on February 11, 2021 1:54AMGM Golden Clover - PC EU (since 2017) Guildex https://eso.guildex.org/view-guild/17669 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/13121132079519613 -

Merforum✭✭✭✭✭[Snip]. I think we have seen from that last several events that adding more servers and having more instances to enter eliminates most of the lag.
Hopefully this will never be implemented in BGs. Instead of constantly nerfing stuff in a ridiculous effort to make everything 'balanced' across trials, dungeons, BGs, cyro etc, they should just create separate ways to play. For instance, if too many people are using 'Dead Water' in Trial don't nerf it into oblivion, just make it not useable in trials.
And why cant they have separate BGs for deathmatch only, BGs/cyro for no proc sets, or with any sets, just allow different options/instances so people can play the way they want with other who want to play that way.

ZOS isn't going to remove proc sets, which are some of the biggest selling points of new content. So, I guess if you don't already have millions upon millions saved up and actually need the AP...... enjoy!RIP Bosmer Nation. 4/4/14 - 2/25/19.0 -

Healer's Habit (constant Minor Mending (+8%) and +5% to healing done) isn't on the approved list. Neither are Senche Raht's Grit or Naga Shaman (+4% to healing done), so I'd say that's a no.
OTOH, they did say 1pc monster sets like Rkugamz, Troll King, and Earthgore (+4% to healing done) would work, so who really knows?

Tommy_The_Gun✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭I just realized something. Just look at the list of non-proc (non condition check) sets, and how short it is. Almost all of those sets are base-game sets, dating back to 2014 - 2015. Newest one I think is Crafty Alfiq, but even this set is almost 2 years old.
So pretty much all sets, added every year - were all proc sets (or at least sets with condition check).
So what if... what if, the down-hill performance, primarily in pvp, but also in other parts of the game are a result of more players (globally) using proc sets ? I mean all of those additional checks, that server has to perform, multiplied by the amount of players in EVERY part of the game (pvp, pve, overland, trials) at the same time...
Makes sense to me, I would not be surprised if this was the case.
So... Stamina Amber Plasm next update ?

No, they said 1 piece monster sets with flat stats... armor, pen, mag/stam/health/wpn-sp dmg will work... not % one pieces
