Re: Writhing Wall Event Update
@ZOS_NickG kudos for the apology, I appreciate it's never easy to take accountability and I appreciate the seals, thanks! 
However do you guys happen to have any updates about the really abrasive game-breaking stuff, specifically for me the animation mess and the crown weapon packs, etc that aren't working?
I've had 2 friends come in and leave after a week because the game "just feels too clunky and jittery".

Re: Writhing Wall Event Update
Unfortunately, for me, the trust has been broken way too many times. This is not the first disaster. And the way it was handled was pretty much the same as always. So, while I do believe you mean what you say, I also don't believe anything will change. Because we've been here before. And behold - we're here yet again.
With the state of imbalance this game has, and zero effort to balance things since the disastrous subclassing was introduced, I have decided to unsub and leave for greener pastures. And I have been very faithful. Very hopeful. But the faith has been ill placed. And the hope has been smothered.
This was supposed to be IT. The big change for the better. The chance to prove this game has yet much to offer. Yet, what we got was exactly the opposite of it.

Re: Writhing Wall Event Update
As someone who actively chose not to buy any part of solstice or to even play during the event, I'd like to throw my voice in the mix that this communication, apology, and repayment is very refreshing and appreciated to see coming from ZOS. The only thing left I think that could be asked for is just to genuinely learn from the experience and to not repeat mistakes.
Thanks for the message, Nick. Considering the circumstances, it was a right choice to make.

Re: Writhing Wall Event Update
Youre right its not enough , you'll have to show it. Hope you can actually keep your word on improving. We’re giving real money for something clearly overpriced. I could’ve bought a new triple A game with that 50 to 88 bucks lol. Make everything fully new assets, animation, art, designs, interactions the whole thing, not recycled scraps. And make a bigger island instead of a tiny two part one. Remove cheaters in every sector, both pvp and farming. Stop with the fomo. It never worked in crypto or crypto games and it won’t work here. You’ll just antagonize people who don’t want the overpriced dlc. Be less anti consumer. I don’t have any hope for eso but whatever, we’ll see.

Re: ESO needs a reboot in 2026 with a rollback of Subclassing
I gave it a solid chance, even had some positive opinions about it post-launch for a bit. But I made clear that I was worried about how it'd settle after a patch or two, and we've now reached that point.
In endgame PVE and PVP where combat balance actually matters, I firmly believe subclassing has done irreparable damage to the playerbase. The unfettered power brought by this system has just completely ruined any remaining semblance of balance, and has created the most watered down homogenized combat experience I've ever had on ESO.
It is really sad to see, because the game use to be so diverse with all it's different classes and specs, with people running a wide variety of things and doing well. This just doesn't exist in a post subclassing world - when it comes to endgame PVP and PVE, you are now losing an unacceptable amount of power to take suboptimal skill line choices.
I know a lot of the casual players enjoy subclassing, and I am happy for them. Truly. But the sentiment I am seeing from the majority of veteran players is that they are unhappy with where subclassing has landed us - and based on the fact that there has been nearly ZERO balancing since it's introduction, it seems very unlikely that the studio has any intentions of trying to make changes to earn those players back.
Maybe this is just the culmination of years worth of pushing against the endgame community's desires, and the game just isn't being made for us anymore.
Zero balancing is the problem not the subclassing system itself.
The entire planet knows which lines are S++ and which are Z-tier but for reasons that only ZOS knows the answer to they have decided to postpone basically any attempt to help close those chasms.
