    Yeah, not my most favorite moment this week.

    My life has been revolving around these patch notes for weeks, so apologies for being largely absent recently! Here's one just for fun:
    • Certain lootable food objects (mostly involving goats) will no longer mysteriously vanish when looted.
    :)

    give us a skill based one :P How bout it @ZOS_GinaBruno‌
    I want to play a game. #sawquotes
    • This ability has completely changed.
    Can you guess which one?! :trollface:

    Dang it, Gina! You are Blinding us with these Flashes of patch notes! ;)
    Actually, that one may or may not have been removed and replaced with a shiny new ability...

    Haha sorry guys! Ok ok, here's a legit one:
    • You can now swap weapons while mounted.

    I thought the only thing the staff at ZOS were working on, was a tan.

    This post has me ROTFLMFAO....you got to stop with all the cat stuff. It is taking me away from my work. :D

    Nice to see the people at ZOS having a laugh as well. Seriously though @ZOS_GinaBruno - we are not going to get cats in the new patch right? My pitbull would kill me if she knew I was looking at this and laughing. :#
    Follow me if I advance, Kill me if I retreat, Avenge me if I die.

    When this immediate evil power has been defeated, we shall not yet have won the long battle with the elemental barbarities. Another evil, it may be an invisible adversary, will attempt, again, and yet again, to destroy our frail civilization. Is it true, I wonder, that the only way to escape a war is to be in it?

    If I die, you are forgiven, If I live, I will kill you.

    I dont see how you guys managed that one. Because currently, anything you attempt to do dismounts you. Even a skill effect ending dismounts you.

    Might as well let us use a potion or food and drink while mounted, because those currently dismount you as well.

    Blood as Food
    As morbid as it sounds, drinking and cooking with blood is as old as mankind itself. It started as a matter of frugality and self-preservation -- not wasting any part of a "kill." It eventually evolved into a symbolic and religious gesture. Warriors believed drinking their enemies' blood would give them their strength and power. In other cultures, blood is considered a taboo food.

    source: http://easteuropeanfood.about.com/od/a1/a/blood.htm

    Goats blood recipe (goat sauce)? Maybe Daedra blood recipe too? We can keep going.....

    Can you guess which one?! :trollface:

    Is it one we already know about? like the Templars new execute ability or the dk's igneous weapons? Then that's no fun at all.

    But ill guess on a few others um, Stone fist? Maybe... immovable? <-- you make this only usable by people wearing 5 heavy? oh man. That would make waves in terms of armor balancing. :wink: Did ya... change that soul trap ability in the soul magic skill line. Useless really, after you have reached vet levels. Soul gems rain from the skies when you hit vet level. lol. That was my third guess. Ill stop guessing.
    You name it, and ill kill it.

    Windows for workgroups does not currently support multi level documents so the zos team has to type out their patch notes. Which is why I suggested using the interwoven to find someone who can type them cheaper than an american employee.

    Am I insinuating that zos is currently working with an operating and word processing system created in the late 80s? Yes, yes I am.
