I fully agree.
And while I like to see Sanguine interfering in the Mara priest's event (the fair in Belkarth is supposed to be held/organized by him, after all), I don't think the priest should be accepting of it. Right now, his stance basically seems to be "Yeah, that's Sanguine, and that's fine! Love for everyone!" or something... I know there is lore about Mara accepting "love of all forms", but I'm very sure this doesn't include the daedra, let alone Daedric Princes.
It's a strange tendency we see lately. Daedra being shown as harmless, people being fine with them. The cathedral in Sunport has daedric and aedric shrine alikes, not even seperated, but directly standing next to each other on the same altar. The general stance seems to be to show tolerance as a great ideal - just that it seems rather strange for the location this game takes place in - Tamriel, also called "The Arena" (and that's for a good reason: there are all kinds of conflicting forces at play, all the time).

Re: Feedback on Huntsman's Warmask Mythic
Overall, I like that ZOS is at least trying to bring some life back into heavy attacks. These days, a lot of builds (not especifically designed around heavy attacks) in both PvE and PvP can completely ignore them. But this mythic feels like a very unsuccessful attempt to adjust heavy attacks. Who is this mythic even for?
My suggestions:
- Existing heavy attack builds will still stick to much stronger options like Anthelmir's Construct, Oakensoul Ring, or Rakkhat's Voidmantle.
- For standard PvE builds, there are simply better mythics to choose from. On top of that, the damage effect from Huntsman’s Warmask is not worth spending 1–2 GCDs on a heavy attack. And against bosses, the resource restore part basically won’t even work. Spending GCDs on a heavy attack just to buff your damage against a single trash mob, and then get a bit of resources back after it dies, feels absurd.
- In PvP this set could find a niche, but only if its damage potential was at least comparable to Monomyth Reforged, and ideally with an additional effect to compensate for the fact that you need to commit time to a heavy attack – which might not even land on a dodging player.
My suggestions:
- Increase the damage bonus to 15–20%, even if it comes at the cost of reducing damage against other targets by 15–20%.
- Replace the resource restore with something more interesting and impactful.
- For example, you could add a mechanic like:
“Dealing damage with a fully-charged Heavy Attack places the Mark of Hircine on your target for 20 seconds, this heavy attack cannot be dodged or blocked.”

Did ZOS ever reveal why 4v4v4 queue times were so much shorter?
Destruction of Battlegrounds Chapter 94: Waiting 18 minutes for a lopsided match (Solo 8v8 PC/NA)
https://youtu.be/KPMC6BFSbpIFor you.
The average queue times towards the end of 2024 were 15 minutes~ for me on any of my 20 characters on PC/EU - they're now down to less than 5 minutes (on average).
If playing (or queueing for) BGs is such a terrible experience, have you considered not doing that?

This is baffling and completely changes the meaning of the thread. The specifics matter here. I had already significantly self-censored, removing all but the beginning and end letter of the word. Was the problem that it was too comprehensible? That people could understand what I was saying with a token amount of effort?
Changing the words changes the meaning. Unlike what some people here are claiming, words mean things. Words have specific meanings.
This is in the game. As everyone keeps pointing out, this is a rated M game. This is a forum for the game. Why can we not talk about the specific content that was put into the game? What other implemented content are we not allowed to talk about in the words the content itself uses?
Here: Whenever the mods edited my post to refer to Molag Bal, I used the title Vivec gives to him, because he is a god of (snip). Explicitly, in the lore, in multiple places you can find right now, via in game lore books such as here, or on UESP.
And you can have the King of (snip)'s branded bed! Made by his cult, for you! To... Oh dear.
We can avoid this entire, entirely too unpleasant to talk on the forums about conversation by changing the name to something like, for instance, "Dark Daedra," or "Obsidian."
No idea what your actual problem is with the bed 🤨
Even if it was a Molag Bal branded bed, it would make sense the worm cult aren’t exactly good people, they bring back the dead I doubt a lil SA is off the cards worshiping the god of such
Re: Warden Charm: we all know.
I mean I don't like how janky it is, but it would be cool if there was a CC type that took Magicka to break free from. (but not relegated to a single script).

My main problem with it is the fact that it cannot be blocked and cannot be roll dodged on top of the 70% snare and huge aoe leaving little counterplay. I think it's doing too much compared to other class mastery scripts and I'd rather see something like an increased cooldown or lower resource restore than just nuking it.
I remember doing a battleground, and it forced my character into a wall, and I had to sit there until the game ended. Couldn't take damage or cast abilities. They changed the old fear mechanic a long time ago for the same reason because it would make your character run away and cause you to get stuck. Just apply battlespirit to the script so it stuns instead of charm perhaps?
You forgot the part where it brushes your teeth too
The charm should just be put on the greenbalance ult which is hardly used and should function as a peel support ult. Then just make the warden class script a cleanse or something.
Re: Shortcut in Fungal Grotto patched?
I never shortcut FG1 and do the full dungeon frequently. Sometimes I fall into the water at the last boss. To get up right by the final boss I always find tricky, often taking several attempts on my little Bosmer.
Re: Subclassing vs Base Classing - Ideas & Potential
I feel like it doesn’t go far enough. A small passive won’t make any difference and even if it was build-altering, then people would feel locked into a specific playstyle.
Here’s some of my ideas (not saying to do all of them, just maybe one):
- Cut the effectiveness of subclassed skill lines
- Give all classes a class-synergizing mechanic (such as Arcanist’s crux) and scatter it across the skill lines
- Make a new class for each possible class combination (ex. DK base class + daedric summoning = summons fire atronachs) (not happening but cool to think about)
- Make a new skill line for each class that only shows up if you’re pure class, gives unique group buffs and debuffs and leans hard into each class’ main power fantasy

Re: PTS Update 48 - Feedback Thread for Hearts Week Event
I'd just like to add another comment being confused about why Sanguine is a part of Heart's Day; why not use Dibella and Mara? This kind of lore stuff is important, I think.
