Re: Which Companion Ultimate is your favorite?
ember, azander, or mirri are good because they provide debuffs or good dmg to the target
bastians is meh, because its centered on him instead of the target, isobels is by far the absolute worst because of its 4 sec cast time (its so bad in fact i unslotted it so she cant use it)

I ignore most of them, they are usually just looking for attention and validation for hating on the game
It is like those losers that go to the Starfield PC fan group just to post how <snip>the game is and all that is wrong with it and how the game is a flop and how No Man's Sky is better...
These losers have been hating on the game ever since I came back to PC in Morrowind(Been on and off, started on PC on the last closed beta, then moved to PS4, then came back to PC and now solely on PC) and there is always, since then, people screaming "Game is dead, move on" and in 20 years, they will still scream the same lol

Re: The writing for the upcoming story content - some thoughts on the latest news article
I like having a bad guy or group. But then again, I'm not one of those players who skip listening or reading about the quest I'm doing. Or one of those players who complain because it didn't go the way they thought it should go. TES games have always been this way, and that's why I like them. It's a story that you get to be in.
For me it's not so much about whether the story goes the way I thought it should as whether or not it makes sense for the world and the characters. Having the Worm Cult back in power suddenly just because the plot needs them isn't as compelling to me as if they show how they rose back to power.
I do like being immersed in the world of The Elder Scrolls, that's for sure. It's a great world to play around in.

It was hailed and promoted heavily (by NBs at the beginning) who were having a tough time playing the assassin NB was designed for...they wanted to stand out in the open and not use cloak. Prior to the set's release, much of those players requests and comments centered around dark cloak and it's healing.
Now that crit is high, which it should be if the devs intend to move down the path of removing battle-spirit and increasing base game difficulty, players have increasingly cried for ways to fully mitigate crit. You shouldn't be able to fully mitigate it, players should die.
Charm is broken, but I'm sure it sounds great on paper and the devs desktop...
Subclassing is a poorly implemented concept. Let's take NB. We have inexperienced theory-crafters now requesting buffs to the Shadow skill line. The NB skills were designed to be balanced among it's class skills - it didn't need changes to the Shadow-skill line, they fit within the utility needs and the power dynamic designed for the NB.
Hopefully having a Studio-head dedicated to ONE game will bring much needed focus to ESO.
We don't live in that world anymore.
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.

Re: I love that there is so much people playing the game(PC NA)
It's disheartening to see so many people hoping for this game's failure, perhaps believing that it will hasten the arrival of The Elder Scrolls VI, as if that would resolve all concerns.I personally believe that development for The Elder Scrolls VI may not have progressed significantly yet, possibly with little to no code written so far.
Re: I love that there is so much people playing the game(PC NA)
The population seems to be the same as it's ever been in the zones I hang out in a lot. The daily dungeon queue also pops quickly for me, even in off-peak hours.
Having said that, because zones are instanced, it's difficult to get a sense of how healthy the population is.

Azandar's ult feels the most useful. It boosts your own damage, applies AOE cc, and does decent damage for a companion.

How about just let the guild traders stay where they are without charging a fee for bidding until this crisis is over? Is that reasonable or possible? Then we can proceed as normal when things are working again.
I understand there may be a process that cannot be circumvented but I thought I would throw that out there anyway.
This is a very good idea and has been done in the past. We could keep our vendors until the problem is resolved.
@ZOS_JessicaFolsom Hello, can we safely hold auctions for next week or should we not hold them? We would like an answer on this point.
*Google translate* sry
As someone who has been involved in running Auctions a lot I think your biggest issue will be tracking payments for items.
A simple fix would be to have the gold mailed to the organiser rather than deposited in the Guild Bank because ofc atm you will not see those deposits and that is open to abuse.
My only slight worry would be large amounts of gold being mailed because in the past that has triggered bans for possible gold selling!!
Edit:- To add, you could pass the items and collect the gold by in game trades which makes more work for sure but also makes for easy screenshots in case of any issues

You can't control other people but you can choose to not run it. Not out of some sense of superiority like running non-meta makes you better than those that run meta, because it doesn't. Run off-meta because it's fun.
makes sense for charm, its not necessary, but a massive pain for everyone else. Rallying cry though is so necessary to the point where if you don't run it, you basically sign up for a roll dodge or permablock to survive.
Pen and armor are fairly balanced because numerically they go 1:1 while also having a very wide variety of choices and systems to pick and counterpick. Crit damage and crit resist just do not share this dynamic. There are a multitude of crit damage options stackable. However there are only a a handful of crit resist sources that just don't come close even after completely gimping a build.
Before people had 3050(46%) crit resist fighting 50% to maybe 85% crit damage builds
now adays we see 100% on basic builds to 180% on crit damage builds so you need anywhere from 92% to 165% crit resist or 6k to 10k+ crit resist to be equivalent to the previous more balanced version of crit before they messed with impen. Remember they tried to get people to stop depending on impen so PvE builds could try to PvP......but in reality they just ruined the balance for everyone and people still have to run all impen.
