Mini-guild (well, it is not so small now) Stolen Sweetrolls invites active players for a tea party. One day we will rule the Tamriel, but now we are too busy stealing sweetrolls. Currently, we have 80+ members from all over the world. Some of us are playing from Asia and Oceania and players from these time zones are also very welcome

What is guild's focus?





We are a small guild with a focus on PvE content: group dungeons/ world bosses runs/rock concerts with lutes and flutes in Guildmaster's house. We are doing veteran pledges every day (well, for DLCs mainly on normal, because... too lazy). Sweetrolls have players of all levels - from someone, who is struggling to kill a mudcrab to someone, who is farming veteran Maelstrom Arena. We have veteran players, who are experienced in all vet content (including vMoL/vHoF hardmode, vMA, vDSA), who are friendly and are happy to help with the best advice Also we can make training runs for vet DLC dungeons and give some tips for veteran trials.

Currently, we are organizing events every weekend to run normal trials, where everyone can participate (even if you're below 160CP) ;)So we are looking for more nice people to make runs regular and steal all desired sets from there

No worries if you don't feel confident in dungeons or trials, there is always time to explain mechanics and give friendly advice about how to dd, heal or tank. We have discord and have fun talks and laughs while fighting

What are requirements to join?




Not many:

*Stolen Sweetrolls is a very international guild, but the main language in chat is English (have also Russian, German, French, Norwegian, Italian, but in Guild chat-English only)
*Be friendly
*Be patient and ready to learn
*Be mature. Preferable age 25+ (we have some exceptions though )
*Show respect to each guild member
*Good sense of humor
*No drama in guild chat
*No offense
*No elitism

TES lore lovers are also very welcome

How can I join to Stolen Sweetrolls?


You can leave a message here or send a message to @LawzJ, @kyria.pagan or @Tony1976Coleman in the game for invite or more information.


No hardcore. No pressure. No tension. No rush.
Drink your coffee. Eat sweetrolls. Escape and enjoy.



Sincerely yours,
Guildmaster.

Hello everyone.

I decided to try something different this time and do a little testing before uploading on minion. This is mainly because I changed the data structure a bit, but also to test new features.

I highly recommend that you backup your saved data! (CombatMetrics.lua in the SavedVariables folder)

After the addon is loaded, all data will have been transformed into the new structure, which means older versions of Combat Metrics can't access it anymore.
For bugs, comments etc. please report here, or on EsoUI

So now for the changes:

0.8.0

• Combat Metrics can now be found on Github: https://github.com/Solinur/CombatMetrics.
• The UI has been completely rewritten. It still works the same for most parts, but the code behind it is cleaner and more performant. Hopefully I didn't introduce too many bugs .
• Reworked the system how fights are stored. A seperate "Sub-Addon" (CombatMetricsFightData) is used for this, so it uses its own file in the SavedVariables folder. When saving a fight it will check if it can be safely stored. An error message will appear if there is not enough space. The new storage system is way more efficient for fights where you want to store the full combat log.
• Added a setting to specify the maximum memory for saving fights. (Note: this sets the memory of the data in game, which usually doesn't match the size of the file on your harddisk in your SavedVariables folder.)
• Added character info (class, race) to the report panel (top left)
• Added the current version of the ESO client to the report panel (lower right)
• Added "Critical Damage Done" to the respective stats panels. (Separately for Spell/Weapon Attacks)
• Added "Spell Penetration" and "Physical Penetration" to the respective stats panels. It will update based on the targets selected in the unit panel. An entry in the settings menu allows you to change the assumed resistance of your targets and the assumed value for the Crusher debuff as it cannot be read from the API.
• Reworked how average values of stats are calculated. Before all damage effects would be used to weight the stats. Now magicka related stats are only weighted by magicka damage effects. "Critical Damage Done" is only weighted by crits.
• Buffs and Debuffs cast before the start of the fight will now be tracked.
• The fight label can now be edited. Just double click it!
• Added an option to prioritize keeping boss fights when deleting recent fights due to reaching the limit.
• Added an option to mark buffs/debuffs as favourite. Just right-click one in the buff panel. Favourite buffs will be shown on the top of the List.
• The fightlist (when you "load" a fight) shows a few more bits of information about the fight, like zone, character, time. Depending on the Selected Category, (e.g. "Damage Caused", "Healing Done") DPS or HPS will be shown.
• Fixed an issue where the name of the fight was not set in the fightlist if the fight had not been calculated yet.
• Fixed an issue where nothing got shown in the combat log if a unit and a debuff were selected.
• Added an option to change opacity of the live report.
• Added an option to lock the position of the live report.
• Added an internal parameter called hpstime. This allows to calculate the HPS based of the time you have been healing, while DPS can be calculated based on the time you did damage (In both instances its the time that passed between your first and last damage or healing respectively). In the live report window the bigger one of the two will be shown. In the main report the active time will reflect hpstime when a healing category is selected. This should also address an issue where refreshing path would cause your dps to lower at the end of the fight despite nothing really happening anymore.

Does anyone else find it weird that while in a delve or anywhere else where you can't avoid mobs, you gather them in a huge crowd chasing you, and the moment you reach your destination and get ready for combat, put down your AoE aaaaaaaand....... they all run away, the very moment they would have been the strongest with all of their comrades helping them to kill you. Instead they leave just a few of their friends to fend for themselves against a mighty warrior who has taken on Molag Bal pretty much by himself.

In my opinion the logic should be reversed. If you're not attacking mobs, they reset early (however far this "early" is), and if you do, they follow you to the hell and back just to take revenge.

Recently with the outfit system hitting the live server, now i no longer see that tons of mages wallking around with the same maelstrom style staff. Everyone gets many styles to choose from. And I notice something interesting. Wherever you go, some certain style of staff has become extremely popular as you can almost see them everywhere, even in some streaming, yes i am saying the ebonshadow one. When i come to design my outfit for my magsorc, i kind of understand why.
From my perspective, the reason i use this style is, it looks the largest, yes, all staff style has some decoration on the top while the ebonshadow being the largest. A bird opening its arms, waiting to strike its enemy , the lion of the daggerfall covenant is also cool but when you put the staff on your back, oops, it looks smaller, especially with a tall character which is very common in altmer. On contrary, the bird ( or eagle?) on the ebonshadow staff looks way much cooler as it is larger and thus clearer when you are in third person doing dungeons or just pvp. Some other staff is fine when previewing in outfit system but when you put it on your back or using magic with it, for the Eight, i am using a 2 hand weapon, not a small wooden stick to fire my spell!!
Therefore, i want to give some advice. Please give us ability on adjusting the size of our weapon, and if possible, on certain parts of our weapons. I can only speak for the staff users . i would be very much like to make the staff look longer and the decoration clearer. I dont want to see all ranged dps using the same look staff as it was before.

Hey guys,

I was working on my new Dragonbones Magicka DK Build for pvp the last days.
This is a solo play or small group pvp build with good sustain, good defense and high damage.
I would like to hear what you think about it and see any possibility to improve it.

I plan to run 5 Shacklebreaker, 2 Skoria and 5 Caluurion's Legacy. (5L/1M/1H), 1HS+Resto.
Withmother potent brew, triple pots and boon Atronach.
Sword nirnhoned, resto powered for higher Dragonblood heals.
I think for Dragonbones, shattering rocks will be the better morph - people will maybe not dodge roll after breaking free and deals AOE + I am able to set several players off balance and powerlash them.
Buffed Data:





Here a Link to the actual build and the CP split, skills etc.
en.uesp.net/wiki/Special:EsoBuildData?id=41316

Flames of oblivion on the backbar can be changed for elusive mist for 1vsX, for duels definitely flames of oblivion.

Here's a breakdown.

1. Can not defend a keep if their mothers life depended on it.
2. Will leave resources red/blue for hours.
3. Does not have competent leadership from any of their zerg guilds. (DD,TD,DK)
4. Constantly blames "Team Purple", "CE", "Pop cap exploit".
5. Would rather ERP in Zone chat than play the game.
6. Telel has the only group on the map, every single day. /s
7. Does not believe in the use of Forward Camps.

I think that about sums it up. What do you guys think?

The only thing missing for class balance is a Nightblade nerf.

When you take into account the Sorc, DK, Templar, and Warden they all feel roughly on par with each other or just needing a few tweaks to be evened out. On the other hand the Magblade and even Stamblade seem to be on an entirely different level. If they were brought down significantly while the other classes continued to receive minor tuning the game would be in a much better place balance wise.

POLYMORPH

Every night on Vivec, AD from the S, and EP from the E, they are never hitting each other. Once in a blue moon you see a battle at maybe 1-2 keep where AD and EP are fighting, the other 99.9% of the time they attacking DC. It's ridiculous. I'm sick of the 2 factions against 1 game play.

Just saw a threath closed because the dude where talking about bitcoin, but it got me wondering if it would be a good change for eso or not if you where able to like sell stuff on ebay or something, if done corretly ofc, maybe like you can only sell yellow stuff or something like that, never played it but i think EVE does this, you can sell ships or something, and CSGO does this with skins, that way hardcores fan would be able to earn some cash for something they love doing, playing ESO

I mean its not fair that only streamers are able to make a living by playing games right ? xD

"CP Elitists" (AKA players who gauge whether or not other players are good enough to run dungeons with them based on their CP) have been appearing more and more often in my PUG groups, often resulting in the Elitist leaving our group to repeat this behavior somewhere else 15 minutes later... So I wanted to put some thoughts to the community to hopefully put this ideal in perspective.

CP Elitists completed the same content with people 129CP less a year and a half ago.
Being an Elitist when the CP cap was 561 meant the "most elite" completed content with 561CP. A year and a half later, the majority of the veteran content out there is exactly the same as it was in One Tamriel, only the players have gained CP. With this in mind, you could say instant vote-kicking someone between 690 and 561CP is basically admitting maxCP a year ago was not good enough to run the content. And of course, we know that to be false, since we all completed content!

CP has been frontloaded for almost a year, meaning the benefits of more CP is less effective
I used the Morrowind CP optimal distribution for a mage with the same CP build as a rough starting point to calculate the average percent difference in damage for each CP level. This is just a very basic comparison, but the difference was laughable.

• The average difference between a character with 690CP and a fresh vet at 160CP is is approximately 19.79%
• The average difference between a character with 690CP and 300CP is approximately 13.26%
• The average difference between a character with 690CP and 561CP is approximately 3.93%

If this is accurate, it suggests that Elitists are always kicking based on less than 20% and often vote-kicking players for less than a 5% character power difference. Which brings me to my next point...

Skills and knowledge mean far more than CP ever will
If Combat prayer adds 8% damage, and 129 CP adds 4% damage, which is more important? Of course, the elitist will say "Well, I want a cp690 healer who runs combat prayer", and sure, that is ideal, but... we have ALL run PUG's and they are rarely ideal. In fact, there are many max cp players who have 0 clue what they are doing. Instantly kicking someone based on CP rather than skill says that the CP is more important. Which mathematically makes no sense.

Or in other words, CP doesn’t matter as much as knowledge and teamwork does. And I'm not even going to get into how 690 CPs can be invested to be absolutely worthless. Or the limited effect 690CPs actually has on roles like tanking and healing. Or even, the fact that before we couldn't even see each others CP!

In conclusion I would like to ask the community to re-think the inclination to vote-kick the next time you see a lower CP player in your PUG group, or even the importance of recruiting max-level CP players to your premades. CP really means very little in the grand scheme of veteran dungeons.

This is the biggest problem in this game, the wants and the needs of pvp and pve players are very different. One group cries for nerfs and it ruins the other groups play style. This has been happening patch after patch.

There has to be a medium that keeps everyone happy. Because every patch it's the same broken record, pvp and pve players blaming each other for nerfs.

becasue its done nothing positive for me. droprates are as low as ever, i actualy get more rare fish when I'm the only one at the hole, in part because it doesn't run out nearly as fast.

I've gotten to a point where whenever someone joins me in fishing randomly, I have to almost physically hold myself back from telling them to leave, please, but not as politely.

Over and over and over since last patch. Since the new DLC dropped I have experienced quite a few disconnection issues.

Here comes patch to save the day... What really happens I can spend hours just trying to log in. I have deleted quite a few addons to the point where I only have ones I know others have that don't have an issue logging into the game.

I sub, 6 months at a time with new period coming up. Why renew if I cannot log into the game?

I've gone through ZoS ignoring an old bug with items being deleted from bank/inventories which is similar to the new one from the storage. When deleting a char that used to have them then are deleted to make ready for a new char items just vanishes.

Contacting support might be the most worthless thing one can do I've experienced. First you get a bot response from 'as an avid gamer myself' then it's someone who didn't bother to read what the issues were and comes up with the most absurd advice which has nothing to do with what you reported. Interestingly enough most people I've talked to experience the same with an occasional person getting real help from someone on the support staff that not just fixes things but makes sure to compensate. This occurence is rare however, kind of like getting Aetheric Cipher drop. That support person should be cloned and the others fired.

When will you fix so I can login properly instead of spending hours trying to get in? No my computer is not old, nor do I have any lag to talk about when playing ingame (Cyro is an exception of course), so something happened with last patch.

I wonder if others experience something similar? I hear in guildchats that some do but is it common?
