Honestly the problem isn't EotS or earthgore or anything of that sort, the problem is the meta, it's stale, we haven't seen the meta change in over a year. Previously a meta was made and zos would change things in order to nerf that meta and it would go away in a patch or two. This was the case basically from the time CP…
One of the worst changes made to PvP in my opinion was negate being nerfed in 1.6. Before that a small group could turn the tides of an entire fight with a single well placed negate, yet it had it's counters and could be broken out of allowing the cast of non ground targeted skills. Many months ago I was all over the place…
@Izanagi.Xiiib16_ESO You have no comprehension how pejorative and deprecating what you write is. Yet you are so keen to point out how other people insult you. You get all bent out of shape because I insult the style that you and I - yes, me too! - play and take it personally. Then you feel justified to call me hypocrite,…
The frustration about organised groups rises from the feeling that nothing you do really hurts them, I fully understand that it is frustrating to fight a raid while you aren't in a group yourself. However the first problem here is the expectation that you should be able to kill them easily. You have to look at things in…
I'm a bit unsure why this isn't another nerf earthgore post rather than destro if we decided now that it's earthgore which is "bad". Èarthgore as a set is an interesting one. I personally agree that it is over tuned but considering it from another position it removes the total reliance on sorc in raids and to help pugs…
The problem begins with bad game design. The critical issue right now, IMO, is the change made to offensive ticks. It's changed AvA gameplay to something akin to farming Alik'r Dolmens. We see this at at objectives of all types. It provides a terrible experience to players whose core interest is PVP and not something more…
The current meta is the fact that organized groups are nearly uncounterable by anything other than an equal or larger size organized group. Notice the thread isn't about the destro ultimate skill but it is about the "trains" that utilize the skill. Destro ult is not the only facet of the current meta, it may be the most…
The arguments in this thread have appeared in different forms over the years, but I think almost everyone recognizes the health of AvA is now at an all time low. I think it's in the best interest of everyone involved to consider the bigger picture and to show restraint sometimes. While there are times when AD has guilds…
While i can appreciate this perspective I want to point out how really difficult it is to run such a group. First and probably the hardest is finding the right players willing to run support builds. This is very very difficult because with these 4 to 8 players the group mechanic won't work. Then you have to find the right…
Shaggy is just a broken record at this point. He knows nothing other than the salt he feels at not getting an invite to guild and then being removed from friendslist after he whined about it too much after a heavy night on the "zerg punch" If you want to know why we are on NA you can read for youself (posting past evidence…
