Encase, Shattering/Restraining Prison

$
0
0
I fire this skill, targets are in the cone, but they do not get hit. I understand some may have their target box out of my area of effect with lag, but it will sometimes show the crystals where the person was when I cast it, yet not encase them. Sometimes it will show three crystal circles like they hit 3 players, but there was only one target and it did not get hit at all.

It is not reliable. For such a high cost, would it be wrong/OP to make it similar to Dk chains that return the cost if it doesn't connect? I understand that the aoe aspect makes this more versatile than chains with hitting multiple targets instead of being single target. I also think DK talons work more reliably than encase, but that is based mainly on PvE dungeon experience.

Does anybody else experience this? Not asking for a buff so much as if it may be a bug. If it is a bug or complex fix, maybe returning the cost when it fails could be the alternative... thoughts?


Why does Armor and Weapon not degrade and break in ESO?

Items in ESO have unlimited life for a character. They never need replacing so crafted sets are not in as much demand. This makes a crafter less important in the game than is systems that have or had this. Would like to see this. It would be an increase in the games economy, creating a greater transfer of wealth and use of resources.

PC NA vs PC EU

$
0
0
So after playing (and paying for) PC NA since launch and becoming more and more dissatisfied with the direction of the game, the performance, the lack of communication and feedback, 23 1200+ cp toons and all geared and completing pretty much everything the game has to offer, I decided to look for a different challenge so I started from absolute fresh on the PC EU server, no CP, no gold, no support to see if I could get some love back for the game the way that i first fell in love with it, I took two chars from level 0 to CP 300.

Well.... the main difference between the 2 servers is performance.... INB4 anyone says well you will have more ping and worse performance your in murica, I live in the UK but for my work situation I decided to play PC NA as I would be playing more in that time zones busy hours.

So lets recap I live in the UK and PC NA has noticeable better performance also less crashes and logging in issues! ikr!

The 2nd thing I noticed was the lower population even 'peak' EU hours did not feel close to NA 'peak' so queue times are longer and there isn't as much on the vendors and there are less people running around in every zone.

The 3rd thing people are gonna contest, but it is true, the skill level on PC EU is terrible when compared to NA, from random normals to BG's from Cyro to Vet trials. In every area the NA server contains higher skilled people who play. I know this game inside out, every class and skill, every armour set and weapon, how to move and how to chain skills and animation cancel to be as effective as possible. So I can say these things with authority. As a low CP player with bad gear I can completely out class max CP players on PC EU was common and I know it happens on PC NA but it is much less common from the BG's I have seen and ran.

The 4th and probably most upsetting for me is the general attitude, PC EU has very little communication in groups and players actively refusing to synchronise to be an effective team (most noticeable in BG's). Every body seems to want to be an ***hole or complete ignorance. I get less English speakers but nothing at all? not even an effort?
Zone chat is super toxic and just not a nice environment to play a game in. I did join 5 guilds to also test this and talked to some very nice people, so when participating in guild organised things it was better and good to play, but again not as much as PC NA.

To summarise it was nice to start from fresh and try to remember the good old days but unfortunately the game has changed so so much and not in a positive way I couldn't say I rekindled the love I once had.
Also if you play PC EU currently you should have a try on PC NA its a nicer more friendly place but you will have to bring your 'A' game as the poopy PC EU average will not fly.

Looking for some assistance here...

So earlier today I was sending out a mass mailing to my guild mates (with a 2 sec delay between each mail) about tonight's auction (an event to raise gold so we can keep our trader). The mailing contained information the guild mates were requesting but I did use the word Service like 4 times in the mail so I think it was flagged based off that.

Here is a snippet of the mail i sent out earlier today.
CURRENT LIST OF LOTS:

. . .

- (Service) 2hrs of fishing by Icydeath12
- (Service) Jewelry Powerleveling by Wyrd_One
- (Service) 2hrs of farming by H0neyKat
- (Service) House Decorator by FleshFurnace

I've sent in a couple tickets and never heard anything back yet. This puts me in a real bind and I can't perform our auction tonight due to the fact I can't access the guild bank or send out mails to winning bidders.

Please help! I would like to get this resolved sometime tonight so I can send out the items to the guild mates.

Regards,
Icydeath12

So I jump onto my experimental build and jump into a random BG to get enough AP for Rotw and my green crystal.

Don't have high expectations, just wanna get in and out.

It's chaos ball, my PuG takes a quick lead

Suddenly red is catching up.

I die and get T-Bagged; whom is this DK smacking me?

Well it's @Liam12548 of course! Aka React Faster

Oh shoot, I gotta try now or else I'll never hear the end of it! Especially as I'm on a stamplar

Get to 410 and red team gets the ball from Purp (who's got 70 points...)

They win, drat! So close...

Maybe if my build was done...

Maybe if the other two PuGs did more...

Maybe if purp didn't attack me but attacked one of the best players on xbox...

Maybe!

So after words I say goodbye to our forum going friends and head off to work.

Surprised how happy I am to run into a forum goer!

@Liam12548 thanks for also being a great sport!

Hope to run into more forum goers! I feel like we're a special awesome club.

Really made my day honestly, just wanted to share :)

Let's talk about ESO's engine?

$
0
0
When it comes to MMOs, the engines most developers ending up choosing aren't really the best. They might accomplish the majority of goals that these teams have in mind but at a cost. Here are some examples:
  • Star Wars: The Old Republic rolled with the Hero Engine. Even though the game managed to accomplish what BioWare had in mind, the engine itself is dated and has brought more problems than solutions over the years.
  • Guild Wars 2 is still relying on its predecessor's original engine, which leads to an incredible mess of a code. This means that it took ArenaNet almost a decade to come up with "sitting on chairs" animations. It works fine for environments, but it's rather sketchy for mechanics and especially animations.
  • TERA Online, Blade & Soul and other eastern MMOs that used Unreal Engine 3. Apparently, this engine has a ton of issues when it comes to optimization and forces the developers to use cheap tricks to hide their games' worst textures.

What about The Elder Scrolls Online? What engine is ZOS using to work on their game? ESO seems like it's doing its thing fine, for the exception of lag. Even though I play on the European servers, my ping is worse than the one I'd get on the north american counterparts GW2, SWTOR, and TERA. I do know they were planning to use Hero Engine at first, but then switched over to their own engine down the line? What do you think are the flaws of this so-called new engine?

Hello ZOS,

You need to remove them from item drop table, unfortunately they drop a lot and are worthless.

No player buy them or uses them anymore, may be 1% out of 100 then why torturing remaining 99% Players.

What are the Changes to the Server (PC : N/A) ?

$
0
0
Hello, and good day. I'm hoping to see if you, Zenimax will be willing to share with us what are the major changes you Recently made to the server within the past 30 to 60 days, but most recent so 30 days.

Prior to this time, things seemed to run normally, however I have heard rumors here and there of what you may have implemented in regards to software changes and or programs that run secretly, hidden in the background.

So far, I can elaborate on the issues I am now suffering from while attempting to have fun playing this game.

First, I mention this because its new to me. Ping.

I am exceedingly being bombed by very HIGH ping, prior to 3 weeks ago, my ping on average would be between 89 to 160. At best.
Now, and since 3 weeks ago I have really been starting to notice my ping just from on daily average 236 to 999+
(I guess the red 999+ is the highest it can read)

This I mention first because I know for a fact this issue is not on my end. Nothing has changed on my end, same ISP, same PC, still play other high end MMO's or online battles with other Server side games other than ESO. ESo is the only server I'm attempting to connect to that is really really bad right now. I mean worse than it has been in 4 years of playing.

**Exceedingly High Ping
**Horrible Lag
**Randomly being taken to the log in screen
**Cannot connect to server
**Logging in states my account is already logged in
**Having Environment surroundings freeze while my toon is over powered in a zip like burst of speed until crash to the log in screen
**Cannot Bar swap
**Cannot cast
**Continues to battle not realizing my toon was dead and spawns at nearest wayshrine

These and most of these issue are known, however again beating a dead horse here as I cannot stress enough, High Ping at the moment is detrimentally impacting gameplay.

Zenimax, if you do not wish to share what cheat bot running programs you are running at the very least please review these issues I have mentioned ""Especially the High Ping"" and the time frame of at least up to 3 weeks ago when I really started to notice or began to care about the issue now that it's making this game unplayable, to determine and or match up what recent changes you made to the server that's causing this issue.

I'm not sure whom to mention such as @ZOS_GinaBruno or whom ever is in control of monitoring the server and or its software, however I'm hoping today with this post I at least gain the attention of someone on the tech side to see what can be done to fix this.

Please note, there are a lot of different issues I could address however I felt this is appropriate in this single category as when the recent holiday event started for the indrik feathers, Exceedingly High Ping was very noticeable and all other **bullets seemed to get much much worse for me. For example most of everything I listed in this one category was something I could deal with as it didn't happen often. However, since the indrik witch holiday combo event, Exceedingly high ping started, and the other issues began to happen more often, more frequent, and on a continuing basis.

Just reaching out to you at Zenimax as a customer , part of the ESO fan base that has played these games for a great many number of years, any day and everyday since the release of Morrowind way back when.

Thank you for reading, you can post here, address me privately via profile mail, or personally via email.

~Charles.

Psijic Order's imbue weapon line

$
0
0
The ability, "Imbue weapon" and its line, I'd like to have it reworked slightly.

Instead of having it as a "buff" to boost your attack, I want it to be swapped into a direct attack instead to reduce the delay. This delay is awkward and can be adapted, but there are times where the "my character is in an animation loop" or "my character's suddenly charging it's attack but the abilities are still coming out and everything falls out of sync because of it and I don't know if my attack came out already".

The last rant for the attack coming out would be the main reason why I want it to be a direct attack similar to force shock. It reduces the complication and the resource drain it does if its over casted. If you cast it again without it running out, the resources will not be refunded, which leads me to wasting more magicka during these hiccups that occur from time to time.

I don't see if it's a nerf or a buff, just a minor change to make it less clunkier, I don't see the niche of "therefore my enemies won't see it coming in PvP" because the entire animation of it is awkward.

Ideas for ESO Plus

Hi everyone,

We’re so excited to be bringing The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind to you a little later this year, and hope Matt’s article that was published a couple days ago cleared up some questions you had about our future plans for Chapters and DLC game packs. In addition to bringing new Chapters to you during the second quarter of each year, we do plan to continue offering DLC game packs during the other three quarters which will still be available to ESO Plus members as part of your subscription.

We're currently exploring new ways to add even more benefits to the ESO Plus membership in addition to what we currently offer, and would love to hear any ideas you have in this thread. We look forward to hearing what you suggest, and thank you for your feedback and continued support!
