But it is oh so much fun
Spooky creatures rise
Spooky creatures fall
A thousand eyes see them all

Re: Update 50 PTS – Week 3 Summary
I'm a bit concerned about the plan to nerf werewolves, because werewolves already, because of the nature of the beast, come with several serious disadvantages. One is that they're melee only, and the other is that players are already forced onto a one bar build. They can't sneak, they are attacked on sight by NPCs, and their paws are too clumsy to craft. This is all great, because it adds to the immersion of being a werewolf, but I think it's important that devs keep all that in mind and realize they need to keep some nice perks that make the werewolf transformation worth it.
The first thing to remember is a lot of classes can deal decent damage from a distance. Even Warden, which isn't considered a great DPS class, can spam cliff racers to the face from a pretty good distance away. If I'm playing a Warden/werewolf, the werewolf form has to do enough damage that I can see a situation where I'd want to force myself to get into my enemy's space where I'm much more vulnerable, or it needs to be much tankier than my mer form so that I feel like I can take the extra damage I will be receiving. Remember, great DPS isn't worth it if your werewolf can't get close enough to the enemy to deliver that damage.
I'd also like devs to remember that a werewolf transformation is a *monster* transformation, and it also has to be slotted in as an Ult to use it. It should feel to the player like they're using an ultimate when they transform, and it should feel to anyone fighting a werewolf player like the player just used an ultimate. I don't want a situation where turning into a werewolf is just the fastest way to nerf yourself. It's immersion breaking to have a monster transformation make players less scary, and just disappointing for someone who wants to play a werewolf and have an actual reason outside of roleplay to use the ability.

Re: WOW - you get NOTHING while reviving during a skirmish
i had same thing, i was reviving when boss killed and got no coffer.
@Athory no, ZoS is not punishing players.

BUT, if the boss is almost dead, just stay dead and you will still be considered as part of the encounter. Then once the boss dies you should see the chest spawn and can then click respawn and make your way back to the chest to loot it. This only works if you are in a group or if you have active hots or buffs up on other players in the encounter.
So you have to stay dead while playing the game in order to play the game? Lol. niceeeeee
Way to overreact....
If you die and the boss is going to die 5 seconds, just stay dead for 5 seconds until it dies. You're not hanging out for 5 minutes while dead, you're waiting literally 5 extra seconds for the other players to kill the boss.
It's pretty easy to use your brain to determine how fast the boss is dying and how long it'll take you to get back to the fight. If it looks like the boss will die before you can get back to the fight, just wait the few seconds it will take.

How does it have to do anything with reading comprehension if words like "hard" are entirely subjective? For a person who does overland only, a person who sometimes solos normal dungeons, and someone who has a regular trial group, the idea of "hard" will most likely be a completely different one.
If I read an article adressed at the ESO playerbase as a whole, I would expect it to take the perspective of the "average player" when it describes a difficulty - problem is, no one except for ZOS has stats about what the "average player" can do or not, so we might also all have different ideas of that. So instead of vague terms like "hard" or "easy", people need to know the scale or get some comparison so they know what exactly is meant.
Not sure what the problem with precise wording is. Scientific writings are precise. Well-written news articles are precise. Good manuals are precise, too. An article about history saying "sometime in the 17th century there was some bad disease and lots of people died" would be considered nonsense, as would a cooking recipe telling you to use "a few eggs, a bit of butter and not too much sugar".
I also don't think terms like "vet content", "group content" or "content on the diffculty level of dungeons/vet dungeons/trials" is "extremely explicity terminology".
In the end it doesn't matter - we can clearly see the current drama, and I'd rather not see that happening again as it harms the game.

Before PTS, me and at least a few others totally thought “challenging” would mean “boringly easy for us”. I’m in agreement with you that ZOS needed to be more specific, especially when “challenging” historically has meant like… veteran dungeon difficulty.

Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Combat Refresh: Werewolf
@Dracane - I just wish ‘they cared enough’ and/ or we had more time. I appreciate your understanding on this though. Most of us if not all want no more than all the exploitable things removed (I know, that’s probably hard to believe) and have things improved to provide only a bit of what something like DK can really accomplish just so it becomes a bit easier to fight reworked specs as they pass through the pipeline.
Throwing my hat in the ring as someone who wants the exploitable stuff removed. I just want to play my characters and not suck. I don't chase the cheese or meta. But if the game remains balanced around it, then it's finally nerfed, then the stuff that suffered and was carried by these exploiting interacts is now destroyed. This has happened time and time again, and I'm worried WW will suffer the same fate (again)
