@ZOS_RichLambert ... I appreciate the /lurks but I am hoping that they are followed up with /comment after a few hours...

It's their new way of letting know that they are paying attention even when they can't make a statement. More info is also great, but it still beats not even knowing what they are paying attention to. Hopefully we'll get more on some of these lurks in the "ESO Live!" today...

We've commented on this particular one before, but it's possible the info got buried with how busy the forums have been. To reiterate, addressing the current issues with the Nirnhoned Trait requires some redesign--if it was something we could hotfix or quickly get into an incremental patch, we certainly would have. The changes are planned for the Imperial City patch, and Eric Wrobel will actually be discussing what those changes are in today's ESO Live show, if you're able to tune in. (If not, we'll do our best to provide a summary of what the changes will be.)

I sure hope the game is more responsive, 1.6 compared to 1.0-1.5 has been about as responsive and intuitive as a goldfish.

EVERYTHING is planned for the Imperial City patch which is likely 2 months before it hits live. WHY does everything have to go in "The Next Major Update". Why can't the fixes, improvements, and even PvP changes go into an earlier, smaller patch?

Thank you for this comment. Anticipating further updates on nirn. For your convenience there's a nirn "reminder" thread in the PvP Combat forum: ;-)

Hi Zeni, Please Fix Nirn

There are plenty of ZOS posts regarding all kinds of fixes, improvements, and changes. All being thrown into "The Next Major Update". Pretty sure my post said fixes, improvements and PvP changes. I never specifically mentioned Nirn. Chill out.

LOL... WHAT?! Every single nerf since launch has been the result of PvP whining. Now they just announced they're going to nerf blocking....... YES, BLOCKING. Why? Because of ENDLESS crying in the Alliance War forum about "perma-blockers" or whatever.

PvP is RUINING this game because of all the so-called "balancing" you guys keep asking for... and ZoS gives it to you!

It will actually make tanking more fun probably. Should also raise the skill level.

A lot of tanks don't like doing it anymore because it's boring.

The problem I see is that casters can easily get to around 21k spell pen. At 21k all but tanks are complete naked to magicka attacks. Even at spell resistance cap a tank only has 11k resistance. This is why Nirn is stacked over cap to give some mitigation to magika attacks.

Duel Maces are giving an absurd amount of armor pen right now. 34k+ Everyone is naked to a person with duel maces. Beyond that, like spell pen armor pen is much too cheap.

Has there been any thought of reworking the entire pen/resist system? Without a nerf to pen, I just can't see how nerfing resist would be a good thing.

The next major patch is when exactly? (no one knows)

These game breaking bug fixes should be implemented in the incremental patches!

Damn, they're able to hotfix / ninja nerf grind spots over night!

I can foresee the future, the next major patch will introduce more game breaking bugs and balance issues and you will have to wait for another major patch to fix those! Enjoy!

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom Thanks for re-iterating this.

Thoughts on summarizing feedback like this and making it a sticky? (Or giving Mods delegate authority to repost informative comments like this in threads that tirelessly drone on over how easy it is to fix something)

A sticky could be a way for players that know to quickly point others to when they go on their rants or simply don't know. With all the new players or those that don't watch the Dev view, this could address a lot of redundant or repetitive discussion.

Right/wrong/indifferent, XP changes are relatively quick vs. combat and balance changes that could domino and negatively impact the entire game. Yeah, ZOS does seem to prioritize significant issues lower than they should. But they are so tight lipped on what/why they're doing, we can only speculate as to whether or not it's the right call.

For example, while everyone was qq over their focus on console, they were writing 1.7 which has a ton of changes. They said little to nothing about 1.7 and let the forums churn. I may not agree with this style, but it simply is. And best save ourselves the brain damage of believing they could/should when we really have no friggin clue what's really going on behind the curtain. Instead, we should just expect that the game is what we want it and move on if it's not.

Any ETA on when this patch will be, or when it will at least hit PTS?

ZOS stated in yesterdays live episode that they would tell us on July 13th when these upcoming changes including Imperial City would be.

I agree -- it's mystifying. How does it take three to six months to fix simple stuff like this? And these should be simple. The mace armor penetration thing is obviously a bug. The other issues are also clearly not working as intended, and none need to be at all complicated to fix. They're a matter of changing a couple numbers in a database. That takes six months?

The charge thing may be more complex. But the others make me wonder if ZOS is severely resource constrained. The alternative explanations are less charitable.

Ah, just came back to these forums since leaving after the B2P announcement. Sounds like nothing has changed. But I gotta ask, is PvP still the laggy and unplayable piece of dirt that it was then?

Yep still laggy and has lots of bugs that weren't present in 1.5
