Dialup doesn't lag unless you live in the woods or China. I would challenge you to a game but I see you play treaty. Oh treaty players...

You should have waited until you had the standalone patch file ready and available to release your updated update. I am on dialup internet which means 1 MB/ 4 min. That means it will take me a little over an hour to download the 15.4 MB revised patch. That means for an hour I will not be playing age or doing anything else online as I will be downloading. I think Conan is on so I'll survive. In the meantime, why don't you get a *** clue and be honorable and hire honorable, talented programmers.

Thank god you didn't play for at least that hour. Noobs with dial up shouldn't be lagging out ESO servers anyway.

That's great... and all... but you still haven't addressed the major stupidly dumb Siege Elephant x2 for Skirms issue...

That is a by design decision, I believe Wacko has discussed this is the balance forum.

But why? Siege Elies already have a hard enough time (what with their low damage, low-ish range and low ranged resist), so why make them even worse against Skirms? When all other "Ranged Cavalry" units stayed the same? They shouldn't be Ranged Cav in the first place. After all, they receive a penalty against Cav....

The Siege Elephant is NOT abstract cavalry so the 2x bonus does NOT go through the .75x penalty for a 1.5x net effect, it's just a straight up 2x. By design? that makes no sense... RI isn't supposed to counter artillery, Pikes are supposed to counter cavalry, and counter-artillery should cost-eff counter age4 heavy artillery, and ranged cavalry is supposed to counter heavy cavalry... totally broken...

Siege Elephants doesn't have abstract cavalry tag, so Culverins doesn't get 0.5x multiplier against them (Culverins are supposed to counter Siege Elephants).

I've downloaded the patch from a different source but when I run it it gives me a user32 wrong .dll error. How can you manually update the game?

Sorry your game didn't count, but we needed to bring the servers down in order to bring the patch online.

my game just automatically updated itself, we had just won and then i lost connection to ESO to install the patch. Then i went back in and the game wasnt counted!!!!! it was like a 2hr game at orinoco's crossing and i was the lowest guy at level 21, there were 2 captains on the other team! AWWWWWW i would have levelled so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not happy eso...... :(
