Also wanted to follow up here. Thank you for the feedback on the AUA. We are taking this feedback to the team to see how we can improve these in the future. The goal with these is to provide a pipeline for communication. Especially with recent changes to leadership, we felt it was important to have an AUA that covered a wide mount of topics. But we are taking in the feedback to improve these in the future along with some of the commentary about the game to share with our team for continued improvements.

Kevin I am concerned your takeaway is how things were said vrs what was said is the issue.

It's not. Probably could have had more nuance or tact but the plain facts of the matter is some of the answers were bad because the information they conveyed was bad.

The design team is supposedly worried about balance but continues to allow the most toxic gameplay that I've ever experienced in ESO to just persist.

Funny how straws can be grasped over sets that are junk, but there are still setups that can burn down my 38,000 armor build in seconds. And when it isn't that, it's non-stop templar healing ult or non-stop power overload.

Just think about that. Design just isn't capable of seeing the problems. They are here, they have been here, and nothing is doen. Therefore, they aren't issues to design. They are just off in their own little world. Yes, probably one of spreadsheets.

I'm drowning in reconstructed daggers whose only purpose is to "store" 25 transmute crystals apiece. I don't farm transmute crystals the way some players apparently do (going by what they say in these forums), but I regularly get 5 transmute crystals in Tales of Tribute reward coffers, or 25 transmute crystals in Rewards for the Worthy coffers, so whenever I amass over 975 transmute crystals I reconstruct another 4 or 5 daggers. I cringe when I open a reward coffer and see transmute crystals.

What I always get as the issue in these threads is the fact, like old fear, it makes your character force-move and get stuck in walls.
IMO, if they remove just that feature as they did with fear and leave it as it is now for the rest, it would be enough of a change.
It doesn't need to be reworked entirely.

EDIT: by the way, it's annoying in PvE too when you apply it to a trash pack and they start running around in circles becoming "un-aimable".

Thanks! If there's one thing that drives me nuts, it's useless clickbait.

What would someone gain by using bots to farm group dungeons? Wouldn't the rewards (set gear, antiquity leads, transmute crystals) be account-bound?

They are after the xp to level that character's skill lines and cp probably to later sell the account

I haven't ever run into any bots in dungeons, only anti-social people.

So how exactly is using corpse abilities on a player any different from using them on an NPC or a Companion? Why is it suddenly an issue to do these things to fictional characters with no real emotion, when it's perfectly fine to do these things to player characters who are controlled by real life human beings?

Can you use that ability on a player? I don't think it's perfectly fine to use it on another player without asking, or without being grouped up at least.

Yes, you can use corpse abilities on slain players. You see this in PvP all the time. Requiring players to be grouped would mean we could never use corpse abilities on enemy players, which would not be a good change.

I look at this from a roleplaying perspective:

In ESO, you can murder innocent people, including sending their souls to the Void by using the Blade of Woe. You can cause horrible outcomes deliberately in some base game side quests, leading to the death of innocent people. You can steal. You can threaten and rob travelling merchants. You can raise the dead. You can generally use skills that count as a crime in Tamriel.

Also in other TES games, you could make horrible choices, if you think of some of the daedric quests in Skyrim, for example, including the ones for Namira (luring an Aedra priest into a lair of cannibals, sacrificing him and participating in the following feast) and Boethiah (sacrificing your companion at Boethiah's shrine).

Yup, you can do all those things which are seen as reprehensible, but it results in the death of the NPC. Which is part of the reason why a couple of us here are suggesting your companion should no longer be available to you after.

Also, take someone like Sharp. I think he would definitely want to leave if you did that to him. Probably Isobel as well.

The Companions are already dead by the point we would be able to use corpse abilities on them. Anything we could do to these Companions is undone when they revive, because there is no lasting effect from their death.

In other words, Companions should have no issue with what corpse abilities we use on them, because they're dead — and we're expected to be able to do those same abilities on them when they die again. We can use one corpse ability on a slain player each time they die; and when they die again, we get to use another corpse ability on them.

Simply put: You can play a horrible/immoral/evil character. So why should you not be able to eat your dead companion if you choose to? That really doesn't sound any worse than the things player characters can already do in TES games.

I don't play any werewolves, by the way, and neither am I interested in harming the companions I use here. I just don't think what OP suggested is scandalous compared to other things possible in this game and other TES games.
