*was a decent set before u44. Now it's not. ZOS took a sledgehammer to it per usual rather than a slight nerf, or even better, BUFFING other lesser-used sets.
The only thing in IA worth farming IMO are the class style pages for the class sets and the maligraphic horse mount if you haven't received that yet. After that, there's no incentive in my book.
Welp, that's a bummer.
Agreed, the weekly vendor stuff can be worth it sometimes if you don't feel like chasing mythic leads but other than that I've not been back in a while due to just this thing. I saw no sets in there worth messing with. If they made some really tough ones to get in there that were on par with a few good mythics like Oaken Soul for example that would be nice.

I am curious how it can be called equality when your description offers more game play, an added layer, without anything being taken away. Are you not getting more game for your buck if you are allowed to use high difficult and base difficult both? What is offered to base players (those that do not power level themselves into boredom) to balance that extra layer of game play? Seems to me that you are not wanting overland to be challenging but rather want only certain attributes to be more challenging so you can get more power. Am I wrong. Will new vet group dungeons or trials not answer your need for power?

Re: West Weald Treasure Map Leads Still Bugged After 6 Months of Silence
Yes, absolutely. I'd also go so far as to say that only 0.001% of players, or those with billions in gold, will ever get the complete codex. Which is a massive shame, because when you think about it, the antiquity codices add to lore, so we are depriving 99.99% of players not just of furnishings but of TES lore.Most people who aren't specifically buying maps with gold or grinding archival fortunes are simply not going to see these furnishings at all, because a threshold like "7.5 million gold worth of maps" or "30 days of dedicated grinding" are beyond the means of about 90% of the playerbase. I think they should know why this has been designed specifically to bar them, if it is, indeed, intentional.
I also want to add: it's significantly more than 30 days of dedicated grinding. Treasure maps only drop occasionally from dragon and harrowstorm satchels, treasure chests, thieves troves and Azandar's portfolios, and WW maps are competing with the vastly more favourable RNG for base game or early DLC maps.
I did 2 full days of grinding, and only got ONE WW map. So if we need 300 WW maps, that's 600 full days of grinding.
By the way: If you've got 40+ Ayleid trees in the last 8 months, that means you've been digging them up. You do get that resets the RNG pool and makes the lead available to drop again, right? The RNG rolls for "Does lead drop?" and then rolls for "Which lead drops excluding ones the player has yet to dig up?"
Has there been confirmation of this? We have so far seen a lot of speculation going in various directions on whether or not the roll takes into account the leads the player has, and I have not seen any dev confirmation either way. Some players have said that the it rolls once, then if the player has the lead, it just stops and the player gets nothing.
Regarding the issue of ZOS communication, they did say the leads drop, but when players asked them about the 2nd and 3rd codices, there was no answer. So we are still unclear on how it works to get all 3 codices, or if ZOS had even tested to get all 3 codices for all WW antiquities.

Again, what this does is hobble the player and restricts buildcraft, which shouldn't be necessary and isn't fun for a lot of people. It's not what we're looking for, or we wouldn't be here discussing this. We'd be doing that ourselves or using the mod you just posted.

Re: Overland Content Feedback Thread
Difficulty choices aren't just for Vets. I am a Vet player and I prefer an easy laid back questing experience, as do some other Vets, so I will not be increasing my difficulty. While others players may prefer difficulty from the start, and may choose more difficulty even for their new characters. It's a personal preference.
The new hairstyle "Curly Tresses" reacts to your costumes dye zones and changes color in one spot
Pretty much what the title says. It's been tested with the new costume "Mara's Blessed Garland" and the "Pellitine Anniversary Drape". Both dye the same spot of the hair bright yellowish.

Mothers sorrow is a crit set. The reason you wear mothers sorrow is for crit rating.
Total crit rating for Sorrow : 2842
Total crit rating for Highland Sentinel WITH NO STACKS : 2957
Highland has more crit with no stacks. Even if you have no stacks, it's better than sorrow and you can have it in any armour weight.
Leviathan is the same set as Sorrow, so it's ALSO bad. No one should use these sets now that Highland exists.
I've already made the point that Spider cultist is worse at buffing force pulse than Tide-Born. 600 spell damage is not as good as 12% damage done to monsters, and spider cult only buffs destro staff skills.
These old sets are very easy to compare, because they are just straight up numbers. It's not some fancy proc or condition or whatever where you need to compare something.
one set has bigger numbers and that set is better.
further more, both sets are crafted sets, the easiest set to obtain. I'll make anyone a set of purple tide-born or highland in any weight with any non-nirn trait they want.
The old sets need to be looked at.
Spider Cult should be STOMPING tide-born for damage done with force pulse. It does one thing and it does it poorly.
This is gas lighting
This statement is demonstrably false.
There is no situation where anyone should use Spider Cult. Not PvP, not overland, not dungeons, not trials.
This is not the only set in the game where we can point to the fact that no one should use it. Ever. It's just the first example that came to mind.
I agree with every single one of your posts in this thread.
I think the head of combat must by that guy in the office that everyone "wants to have a drink with." It's the only way I can fathom why he is still in charge. I'm not saying anyone should be let go, but he needs a new boss who is actually setting the direction and vision.
