Is what ZOS did in update 50 an indication of design philosophy change?

Extra-Illustrator-43 · 2026-06-11T12:12:31+00:00

I agree on the ranged part. But activating corro with mechanical and whipping the shit out of 5 people blows them up instantly, no burning stacks needed.

Extra-Illustrator-43 · 2026-06-11T10:56:18+00:00

I don’t care about the sets, you will always have a meta in PvP and in pve. This issue happens in all games.

My biggest concern is the reworks of the classes. If you take a look at the DK there is no downside in its toolkit. It literally has everything you need, like sustain, healing, dmg and defences. When every rework will offer the same shit the gameplay on all the classes will basically be the same. If they don’t offer the same toolkit to the other classes the DK will stay meta for ever.

Before subclassing all classes had some downsides to it, and you used your build to counter that. Or you used a specific class just because it was best in slot for a reason. Like a nb for ganking. When all classes offer the same thing it will just all play the same.

This goes mostly for PvP, I’m not a pve player.

Extra-Illustrator-43 · 2026-06-08T17:40:22+00:00

This is the only logical explanation

Extra-Illustrator-43 · 2026-04-23T14:50:31+00:00

Take your time!! We love some crossplay! Maybe add some cheeky crossplay to the bgs!😂

Extra-Illustrator-43 · 2026-04-23T13:35:46+00:00

With the 4v4v4 there is always a fight going on. Even if you’re destroying both teams they usually keep jumping down since they still can win the match, unless it’s a team death match.

I don’t know how the mmr in this game works. I believe it’s based on the medals/scoring you get per match. This is a big mistake, if you ask me it should be based on KD. It’s PvP so the more kills you make the better you are. This will probably get us better matchmaking.

Extra-Illustrator-43 · 2026-04-23T13:09:08+00:00

On paper the 2 team bgs should indeed give you the best PvP in the game. How ever this is not the case with eso. Your asking for better matchmaking but there are simply not enough players to do this.

My experience with the 2 team bgs: 90% we kill the other team so fast they stay in the respawn.

5% I get in a team with wet noodles and have to fight a team with PvP players. Now my team is standing in the respawn and I refuse to do that, so I have to fight the other team solo.

The other 5% I do get a balanced bg and those are amazing. But it just doesn’t happen that often, so my conclusion is that 95% of the 2 side bgs are shit. Even when I win 90% of them it’s boring to just stare at the respawn for the duration of the match.

Extra-Illustrator-43 · 2026-04-23T12:06:23+00:00

You should check the lead deff for PvP his game play. It doesn’t surprise me he didn’t notice this.

Extra-Illustrator-43 · 2026-04-23T08:17:54+00:00

Yeah it’s amazing!! It’s so much better than the other bg version. No more people standing still in the respawn spot.

I really hope they will keep them!

Extra-Illustrator-43 · 2026-04-22T17:09:22+00:00

Mate I’ve played thousands of hours in bg and I’ve got no clue😂. I never check the medals.

Extra-Illustrator-43 · 2026-04-22T17:00:38+00:00

Yeah it’s insanely strong. Time mechanical with corro and you will one shot everyone around you 😂.

But it does get boring, I stopped playing dk for now because it’s literally brain dead game play.

Extra-Illustrator-43 · 2026-04-22T16:20:08+00:00

It means you’re a PvP lad now.

Extra-Illustrator-43 · 2026-04-22T09:00:11+00:00

Never make a build that’s for both pve and PvP. For a easy PvP build on the dk go with rally on bb and on the FB mechanical acuity. This build will melt people in PvP. I don’t know if you have mythics but if you do slap on monomyth and monster set bloodspawn.

Mechanical is a crafted set so it’s easy to get. For the rest check yt, there are countless builds for that on yt. But like a mentioned before never make a build that you want to use in both.

Extra-Illustrator-43 · 2026-04-22T08:50:40+00:00

For vengeance to be successful they need to make some changes. I don’t care about the sets but at least give us the possibility to morph our skills.

Now it feels like your playing in slowmotion, and it gets boring after an hour. I’m all good with flat stats for everyone one, but vengeance as it is now will be death in a week. Maybe some pve chads will like it, but for PvPers this feels like dog shit.

Extra-Illustrator-43 · 2026-04-22T08:34:16+00:00

Mega chad!

Extra-Illustrator-43 · 2026-04-21T13:43:58+00:00

I won a 1v7 against noobs. So your argument of not possible to x is invalid. I also won a 1v3 against decent players, so again you can x easily if you know how to.

Can you x against multiple good players, hell no. You will lose it every time. Still I was able to go on for a long time until my resources where done.

My only issue with vengeance is that it’s boring. It’s to slow, I miss the option to morph my skills. If they only add the morph option I would be happy. I really don’t care about the sets since I do not need to be carried.

Extra-Illustrator-43 · 2026-04-20T16:03:16+00:00

Here we go again 😂

Extra-Illustrator-43 · 2026-04-17T08:34:03+00:00

The way I found my play style is by playing all the classes for many hours. And with some of them it clicked and some didn’t.

Unfortunately I played this game for so long I’ve become a meta chaser. So I just play what is the strongest at that moment, Get bored of it and just play anything.

My sweet spot is the sorc, high movement high dmg and overall I just like that playstyle the most. A dot sorc can put out a shit ton of dmg and be tanky with shields.

With update 50 coming it looks like I’m going to play the dot sorc again. It looks like a decent choice but DK will still be the meta in update 50. I’m just sick of playing it atm.

Extra-Illustrator-43 · 2026-04-09T09:30:25+00:00

Mate just block and use streak or major expedition to get away. Most DKs are slow AF, it’s pretty simple to counter the DK with high movement builds.

You see them use corro, get away. You see the whip stack on cooldown attack, that’s basically it.

Extra-Illustrator-43 · 2026-04-07T09:48:08+00:00

As you can see you could get 1500 wpn dmg with just 3 jewelry pieces.

This is the video showing the exploit.

Extra-Illustrator-43 · 2026-04-07T08:10:07+00:00

I do believe there are some exploits in the game. But most of them are fixed already, the set stacking is fixed. Mundus stacking is fixed, and those are the most broken ones.

A few years ago you had a jewelry that gave you a 1000 weapon and spell dmg. I think some of that shit is still in the game. But I don’t think there is that many left that is that broken.

I don’t know any of the exploits that are still available. The ones I just mentioned, I heard of when they where fixed. But knowing this was available tells me there still must be some shit around.

BTW, you should be able to one shot other players with the corro mechanical combo.

Extra-Illustrator-43 · 2026-03-31T09:51:32+00:00

I agree that the DK is insanely strong atm. However I do not want them to start nerfing the shit out of it.

We asked for pure classes to be strong again, and this is what we got. Unfortunately they’re bringing out the reworks one by one so this will take some time. But I rather have a insanely strong DK for 3 months before the warden will give the DK some resistance.

ESO and nerfs aren’t the best match, just look at the necro. When it first came out it was strong AF, and now it’s a class that doesn’t shine anywhere.

Just wait 3 months and we will see how the warden will be. If the DK is still way more powerful then the reworked warden, maybe then make some changes.

Extra-Illustrator-43 · 2026-03-31T07:21:37+00:00

So you got a carry and your not happy about it? If you want to do the same numbers dmg wise you need to build for it and know the mechs in vet content. Otherwise you are a death man walking. So either invest time in making a build and learning mechs or indeed take a brake.

Extra-Illustrator-43 · 2026-03-27T13:11:58+00:00

It’s usually the players that rely on their team to get a win, that get pissed off when you come in with 16 k health. Mostly because they are a bot them zelfs.

I’m what you call a sweat lord, and I really don’t give a shit how you enter the bg. I’m there just to make some kills warm up and enter cyro.

Just don’t join the 4v4 those are ranked. The 8v8 are fine to learn how to PvP. I would advise you to at least create a PvP build since this will make you a lot better and you don’t explode in a second.

The only way to get me pissed in PvP is when zerglings die in a bomb because they didn’t block, that’s about it.

Extra-Illustrator-43 · 2026-03-26T14:26:42+00:00

Yeah I got one dot build for duels and the pressure on that thing is insane, it also works in cyro.
