Re: Subclassing: what are some ways that you use to deal with loss of class identity?

This. Plus as soon as they start churning out more skill styles (idk why we're getting like 2 or 3 a patch, at least churn out a few complete sets recolor styles, that really shouldn't be that hard I feel like), then we'll be able to make sorc abilities look like the neon green arcanist abilities, or make arcanist abilities look like ice for a Warden theme, or fire for flame ardent dragon knight theme, and so on.
Re: Suggestion: give us a "treasure" vault similar to furnishing vault

...except for the fact that ZOS devs have said that people hoarding stuff is one of the biggest problems and they're struggling to keep up with the data as it is.
There's a reason that they changed the mail timers, and the guild trader timers, and have been trying to pare down redundant things here and there throughout the game. Enabling more hoarding is the opposite of their goal.
I'd think that if that were true, they'd stop manufacturing more unique items to dump into our inventories. Which they do 52 times a year with the Lux vendor, whenever a new zone is released, and with the non-stop revolving door of events.
And IIRC the listing times were lowered to reduce traffic flow (which nobody could wrap their head around) and had nothing to do with hoarding. Because to lower that would require reducing the number of allowed trader slots per player.

The novelty would wear off very quickly. All characters being boiled down to a generic model would get dull.
Re: Non-Interactable Door (Furnishing)
Just in addition... first weekend this july there was a new furnishing sold by Zanil, Alinor Door, half. If one take 2 of them they're not interactable.
Thought that there are more of this kind of "doors", but i'm not sure anymore. Sadly this one will not return fast, Zanils rotation is around one year.

Skill lines have to be good on their merits in order to be chosen by players and something like Shadow is simply not up to par. Look at any of the posted metrics from ESOLogs to see that completely confirmed. Tanks don't use it. Healers don't use it. DDs don't use it. Nobody uses it.
You have certain views about you think that NB should be played but that is out-of-step with basically the entire playerbase who want Shadow to useful for tasks beyond the narrow case of ganking in IC.
If you think the shadow skill line is for ganking and can't figure out how to use the skill line, the narrow thinking is yours - find a theory crafter and ask for help.
You don't know how I think the NB should be played, you haven't asked. Your assumptions reveal your ignorance.
I'm not really interested in how one person plays one class.
The actual data shows that nobody is using Shadow. That is a problem that needs to be fixed.
That is where the discussion begins and ends.
Re: TANK ROLE: Bastian vs Isobel vs Zerith
Zerith for Major Breach. I also have him in Perigean Armor, so he pulls in ranged attackers.
Re: I love that there is so much people playing the game(PC NA)
Sadly, as much as I am not really a 'OMG game dying!' person, I very much HAVE noticed a decline in players and finding players to do dungeons and stuff with, and that's on PC/NA. I'm not saying the game is dying tomorrow or anything, but to pretend the population hasn't dropped semi-recently isn't entirely true for everyone at least.

There is many of us that have been playing since the betas, that play for months, then leave for months, and that is normal, it is the game's life cycle, I also(And my guess is many) go back to Skyrim at least 2 times a year, that is just what bethesda games are
But now you go anywhere and everywhere and there is a lot of people running around, doing missions, exploring and so on.
I am wondering though, do many noobs and tired vets no longer pay the sub? I could never play without the craft bag, but as I some times spend hours farming and doing writs and such, I have noticed that despite there being more players than I had seen in a LONG time, I also se a ton more mats available, when some times, even with "less" players, say, 2 years ago, I would not find more than a couple nods every once in a while, and good luck with chests... these past 2 weeks I have seen more nodes untouched than ever.
In any case, that sort of matters but not at the same time, so long as people keep buying the game
what? game is pretty dead compared to what it used to be. long queues for dungeons as a tank, not a lot going on in group finder. which really sucks because im back to the game and enjoying it again. but game is pretty dead, look at steam charts. but summer is almost over, i know i didnt play much at all during june and july, moreso in august because it was too hot outside.
This.
Thought PC NA is literally the MOST POPULATED SERVER and can not be an example for the overall game population lmao

Pierce Armor - Failure to Fire
This skill simply will not fire. It has now happened in multiple locations/dungeons/trials.
The issue is not distance or line of sight. The keypress even regsiters on the bar (with the icon showing the keypress animation) but the skill won't fire.
While switching to another taunt (which fires without issue - Leashing Throw, Inner Fire, Explosive Charge) does taunt the mob, it not only means a loss of nearly ~9,000 penetration, but also then having to compensate on the fly when a skill that should fire does not.
This is simply not playable in difficult content. It's causing group deaths, due to taunt loss, and a huge drop in DPS, due to the penetration loss. Players should select skills for fights based on the mechanics, not on whether a skill will actually fire.
"I can't taunt" - a phrase I have said way too many times lately. This is a core tanking skill, it NEEDS to work. This isn't like other reports of skills taking 2, 3, or 4 key presses but the skill itself just simply stops working on some mobs and bosses no matter how many times the key is pressed.
While this is obsviously a bug, a serious one at that, I'm posting this in General as a way to highlight the problem and to let others know - Do NOT trust this skill to work. I have seen multiple reports from players about skills not working, I am yet to see anything from ZOS. Whatever changes you've made recently have broken a core mechanic - you need to show some respect to your players and comment on it.
