PTS Patch Notes v2.3.0

Lokov

ZOS! Please don forget this time about v16 templates and coffers with v16 items and v16 weapon / armor / jewellery enchants

Enodoc

@ZOS_GinaBruno Didn't see any mention of Access to content from other alliances in any order you choose upon reaching Veteran Rank 1. Is that not in this build, or did I just miss it in the patch notes? (There were quite a lot of them )

A couple of other questions:

The new grouping tool will grant a "fairly sizeable chunk of experience" with "subsequent runs giving slightly less experience". Could we have some values for this, say for a VR1 or VR16 character? Since you're now going to show XP gains in loot history (awesome!), it seems XP values will become more transparent.

Will the new trespassing mechanic ever filter back into the existing zones? "Trespassing" doesn't really mean much right now.

Enodoc

Oh also - @ZOS_BrianWheeler what are/were the "upkeep costs" that have been removed from level 4 and 5 keeps?

SneaK

Whats you all's deal with Wall of Elements............

DK Firemage with Maelstrom Destro Staff new OP FOTM.

And no reflecting Meteors??? Very odd change.

@ZOS_GinaBruno Please tell me the you are going to fix the Fighter's Guild Bug! The one wich we are not able to level our fighter's guild rank to 10. It is stuck on 9, no matter how many quests we do or daedra and undead we kill.

Please check it!

Thanks! BTW, so far I liked the changes.

Ummm, so what about fixing racial passives? My Khajiit still doesn't get his crit bonus, and my Orc only gets 4% bonus to his light and heavy attacks, what about melee class abilities?

Maps
You will no longer be able to interact with fast travel icons on the map while you are dead

@ZOS_GinaBruno
Has any progress been made in correcting the issue that causes groups to be unable to self-rez following a party wipe? If not, I fear this change will trap you in the dungeon indefinitely, unless you break group.

•The Lady •Critical Leech: Updated this ability’s tooltip to indicate it only procs on direct damage abilities, and not damage over time abilities.
•Elemental Defender: This ability now reduces Flame, Frost, Shock, and Magic Damage dealt to you, instead of Flame, Frost, and Shock Damage only.
•Hardy: This ability now reduces Poison, Disease, and Physical Damage dealt to you, instead of Poison, Disease, and Magical Damage.
•Light Armor Focus: This ability now grants a flat amount of Physical Resistance per point spent that scales with your level, instead of granting a percentage increase to Physical Resistance.

Just to clear something up...Is Bleed not considered a physical DoT ?
I would have expected flame/frost/shock/magic damage for elemental defender.
I would have expected bleed/poison/disease/physical damage for Hardy.

•The Ritual •Piercing: Updated this ability’s tooltip to indicate it has always given a flat value of Physical Penetration that scales with your level. We also increased the value of Physical Penetration by 167% to counterbalance the Physical Resistance granted by Light, Medium, or Heavy Armor Focus.
•Thaumaturge: This ability now increases the damage done by damage over time effects, instead of increasing Poison, Disease, and Magic Damage.

Will thaumaturge Increase bleed effect as well as disease/poison/flame/shock/frost damage ?

Thanks

Meteor cannot be reflected????
Wow................

Sorry to be another one adding to the infinite line of questions, but is there any word on scaling of old Trials/vDSA or at least the weekly rewards to v16, @ZOS_GinaBruno? I was under the impression some changes to that were considered for this patch, was I mistaken?

"Missing in the Mire: The trash piles found during this quest will no longer grant old and unusable cooking ingredients."

Awwwwww...

Meteor: This ability and its morphs can no longer be reflected.

I'm not a fan of this change. I'm not sure what I'll miss more, reflecting meteors back at unsuspecting casters or watching people get killed by their own meteors when casting them on bosses with a reflect active.

Welcome to the meteors from sneak meta. Who can meteor x24 the best. With out DKs to keep them in check even with how few there were, i hope you would at least be able to dodge it. You ended up hurting stamina DKs... why not make it so that it cost ALL my magic to reflect 1 meteor

IF NB's can still some how cloak out of a meteor why shouldnt i be able to reflect it?

Instead im forced to block, and wait till i get cc'd by fear. While being meteor spammed. With the ammount of burst magic users have it really isnt necessary to give them more burst but thanks.

It's not a ninja nerf; the definition of ninja nerf is a nerf that is not communicated in patch notes.

Siluen

Another suggestion for the Champion point system:

Move the heavy armor perks to the Steed, light to the Lord and medium to the Lady , it makes way more sense that way.

The "access to content from other alliances at VR1" change will be in a future patch, just didn't make it into this first one. For the XP bonus, it actually depends on a lot of factors (math...) so there's not a solid, flat number. Regarding trespassing, I'm actually not sure, sorry!

remilafo

Alot of good stuff... I especially luv the BoL nerf... no more getting kicked from a pug if not templar healer.

My bet:

They couldn't fix the bug with double reflected meteors missing the animations and weird delays between the ground efects and the actual impact.

@ZOS_GinaBruno

Are there API change notes ready for the Addons forum yet?

MisterBigglesworth

•Meteor: This ability and its morphs can no longer be reflected. We also fixed an issue where the damage over time from this ability would appear at the wrong location when cast on a moving target.

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
oh... pardon me...

**goes back to reading**

AddictionX

Give me a reason why NBs should be allowed to cloak out of a meteor where as I cannot reflect it. Why not instead DEFLECT it. Turning invisible doesn't mean you're not there.
