I’ve been enjoying it so far, but I’m not trying to grind out things like many are! I’ve gotten some nice stuff from the reward boxes, and I’m one piece away from the Lion Guard outfit. I did try some fishing too, but at this point I don’t think it’s for me.
The XP boost is definitely helping me, I got my character leveled up above cp160 in very little time! Now that I can start getting armor sets put together it’ll be fun to see what I can get.
I am leveling a character on PC! PvP group is on hiatus on Xbox and a few jumped to PC to try Cyro out there. Otherwise, it’s just bonus mats; my Xbox acc has had 12 event tickets for like 6 years it feels lol. Just have scrying to finish, the scribing affixes (quest line is done), and the need to farm skyshards and like…7 gear set swaps.
Okay! How does PVP on PC compare to Xbox? I’m sure it changes as your character levels up, but I’ve heard people say there’s a lot more people doing it on PC. I’m thinking of giving it a try sometime, the guild I’m in does a beginner event once a week. Most of what they do is PVE though.
I’m saving up my tickets for the Indrick Mount! The house didn’t really impress me, so I figured I could use something else to ride. It sounds like you’re keeping busy with grinding things out!
Idk, I haven’t done it yet. I jumped on PTS just to see the changes and I’m…not confident to say the least. It’s supposed to be a stress test, but I haven’t seen more than 10 people on at a time, and the combat is great. For dueling. In reality, Cyro is small groups or zergs, most the time. And it’s going to be awful when everyone runs the same things. It’d be like if PvE didn’t have roles, everyone just brings their own heals, sustain, and damage.
As far as the players, I’ve heard PC players aren’t great compared to console. I imagine part of that is reading the game; no add-ons on console, so people are very adept at reading set procs and the visual cues (not me, I’m tragically blind when it comes to that stuff), where as PC, an add-on is gonna tell you you’re plagued, or if you are CC immune, or if you have a bleed, etc. In ball group play, everyone has to know when stuff is happening ahead of time, seeing group movement, people buff and swap bars, find the healers, see barrier rotations, etc.
I’d wager the individual player is maybe better on PC, but the group play is better on console, and that’s been the word from others I’ve known who swapped. The people I’m playing with right now and will group with later are playing in a 4-6 person group, and had been like 350-4 K/D the other night, and that’s light comp with no one over 1k CP. On Xbox, we were hella comped with gear, classes, skills, scribing buffs, etc, and ran with 12.
Interesting comparison between the two! I haven’t tried it yet, I guess I’ll see how things pan out over time with the Cyro adjustments. Hopefully they get a nice balance over time.
We’ll see. I’m very jaded, as PvP has been largely ignored outside of “this set breaks the game, so we’re tuning it”, and ZOS has struggled with balance since the start. The bigger issue is performance has only gotten worse, which is what the current testing and stuff is looking to help. The issue being, if the PTS is any indication, then performance is going to be great, because the servers will be empty.
I’ve definitely seen complaints about the PVP issues when reading other things about the game. How soon will the PTS changes take effect? Or is it something that might change a few times before hitting the main game.
Should be live by March. Think there are 2 more weeks or PTS? Or 1, and then I think after PTS is done, changes go live in 2 weeks. I don’t know if they’ve said it will be it’s own campaign, or if all campaigns will switch to that model (I imagine the first). They have said minimal changes between PTS and live in launch, but plans are in place for some changes in a later patch.
Well I guess all we can do is wait and see then!
Yep! Got mythics able to be scryed now, so it’s lead farming, affix farming, gear farming, and CP farming time! But I’m not level gated out of anything now. Just gotta run Stone Garden like 70x for Arkasis and EC (for when I inevitably have to get more trial sets lol). Except then I gotta grind and gear a necro so I can EC those runs, and get damage sets to show a parse, and skill points, and fighters guild for dawnie, and…lol why am I swapping to PC again?
