My perspective about ESO pvp

[FLY paladin]

Bought the ESO membership for 2 months. I really do like pvp stuff in mmorpg. ESO is a great game in some ways, like stories , huge maps and details, and NPCs. But there are so many issues I noticed in pvp as a new ESO player’s perspective. There are so many serious class balancing issues, and proc sets which most people are complaining about. The combat is just all about spamming 1 or 2 spells in the entire fight( for example Stam Nacro). Also, there is no optional game mode in BG because of poor population. I’m new and I realize no one wants to play pvp. Even ESO has a lot of chances could make ESO’s PVP so much better! But seems they really have a terrible business leadership and terrible decisions they made. I was Marketing major and I have already noticed ZOS has a serious problem for doing their business. My perspective is that if ZOS fired their dev team or their decision maker, they could save their business, and thank you I have already quite the game even I really wished ESO could have a better PVP like WOW classic.

I wish ZOS team could see this, and fire the one who really doesn’t care about the PvP market on ESO. It’s not people don’t like PVP, it’s just the decisions made all PVP players(Customers) gone.

Not going to lie, I genuinely think ESO has some of the worst PvP I've ever played in an MMO. It desperately needs an overhaul from the ground up. Yes, some of it is the sets and how they form the meta but mechanically there's a lot to be desired as well. Lag plays a huge part of why the PvP in the game isn't fun and I'm not sure if Zenimax care that their server farms are clearly located somewhere past the Kuiper Belt.

PVP is neglected by the Devs.
Seems playernumbers dont justify to put more ressources into it.


Generally ESO is mainly a PVE game at this point... PVP serves as "fun distraction" nothing more :(

We ask for things like ELO/matchmaking system since BGs got introduced in morrowind :(
Server lag in cyro exists since the very release and never got "acutally" improved (its just an up and down since YEARS).
Way to few maps in BGs and lots of problems with Cyros map design.
Insane imbalance between sets/skillcombos.
All this has led to the point of pvp beein pretty much dead.

Zenimax follows a doctrine of "total Equality" in pvp. Everyone shall feel like he/she/it is just as good as all other, this is the reason for 1-2 button combos like procset jabbas or the no Matchmaking thing.
They lit once stated there will be no Ranking for BGs so noone will feel "bad" about their rank.
So even tho beein in "lower ranks" may improver your experience as you face equal oponents, we will not see MMRs....
I still get matched agains 200 cp guys freshly started eso with my 4000 hrs playtime since 2015... guess how much fun this matches are.... or how balanced....

ESO i have often thought have a number of devs who like to take the wee wee out of the people that play the game ! ... For instance , sneak ?? You waste loads of points on med armour and sneak ,only to find that every quest where sneak is needed has npc's sitting on your target object ! ... I have found the best way to sneak is in heavy armour and swinging a big axe !

and thank god eso is this way, what a boring and shallow gameplay would be if you could oneshot every enemie because you are sneaking like the broken combat that is skyrim

I get it. It seems ZOS has their focus group customers as PVE players, no wander they just only want to focus on their community which only keeps their current customers not attracting future customers. That’s a really bad business model and strategy. I guess they just want minimum the funds to make their profits. What a pathetic company ! as a PvP fan, I guess I just quit then.
