Re: What class is the most in need of attention, bug fixes, and buffs right now?

This is exactly why I made a post in this thread tagging as many devs as possible. That class is dead, and vengeance campaign just restarted and even there, the class is trash.
But - as has been brought up - the rework for whichever Class will drop in U51 needs to be finished by the ned of June.
Knowing how many problems Necro has, not just with it feeling janky, but also the issues with pet mechanics, corpses counting as pets, corpse generation caps, corpse targeting, trying to get the skills shuffled so every line can have things for all roles, removing things like GLS that people hate and making better options from scratch…
Do you really think there is any chance they could fix all of that in a single month? It took them 9 months to teach horses to swim!
Again, do you want a cheap version of Necro’s rework that solves none of their problems and only adds about four new ones, but at least it’s done fast? Or should they use Warden’s rework to plot out how to split the lines, Sorc’s rework to figure out how to deal with pets, Templar’s rework to get some corpse plans figured out… and then three whole months of just trying to fet Necro to not feel like a mess.
Yeah, I agree with tom here. Necro needs a ton of work, and whichever rework(s) are currently underway should not be interrupted. They've done a good job with the dragonknight and werewolf, so I don't want to interrupt that process.
I wish Necromancer had been prioritized sooner, but if I'm being charitable and honest with myself... It's the most risky rework, the opposite of the dragon knight rework, and if the first rework was a flop or received poorly, the game would likely be on the decline given everything that's happened the last two years.
So really I only feel justified in my frustration when it comes to the communication and the one interesting PTS class mastery passive for necromancer, that would help carry us through until the necromancer rework, is being restricted to PVE for seemingly no reason.
Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Combat Refresh: Werewolf
To make this thread actually about werewolf feedback again:
I'm not sure if the fix to the black werewolf texture took place, as the fur still looks like it has brown tips, but I would need @Erickson9610 to confirm properly.
Animation wise, I appreciate the update to the two-legged running animation! It looks much better, less goofy. The arms were lowered and the body was leaned forward a bit, and I think this improved it a lot. Claw Fury also feels a bit better, the animation quicker. I haven't noticed other changes yet, at least nothing major, but these two stood out to me and I wanted to mention them as a THANK YOU to the devs for revisiting especially the run animation.
I just wanted to say thank you for everyone else testing and trying to help the devs get WW in the best way possible to be successful and improve on the previous issues. Still don't care for the colorful highlights on the skins, makes em look cartoonish, blurry and less business like. One thing I liked about the Berserker Wolf was the tone of the critter as well as the alternative skills. Probably won't be using WW anymore because of this fact alone. Same reason I don't use banner.
It's a complete mystery to me why put all this work into something and ruin it with adding cartoonish decals and in some instances, over the top effects. It just ensures some of us will never use it. The good thing about ESO was it was like a more mature MMO. Less WOW stuff, if I wanted WOW, well then, I'd be there. I mean if I really wanted alot of visual effects then I'd just go watch Avatar or something.

Re: April 20th Vengeance Only..
Hi ZOS,
Stop doing this, the majority of your PvP base does not want this washed game mode. We don’t want to contribute anything to your “testing” because we are against it. Frankly, it’s a waste of time. With all the good that’s being done recently in the studio this is the remaining outlier of a team clinging to one last bad decision. It feels like we’re just being reminded to stay skeptical of the PvP dev team’s vacuum decision making philosophy.
*edit*
Can we test PvE Vengeance on April 20th too?
ZOS, I would like to personally thank you for continuing to develop Vengeance and not give up on bringing some much-needed change(s) to Cyrodiil PvP in this game. Cyrodiil PvP in and of itself is not friendly to the casual gamer, it's easy to see, as well as all the challenges facing regular Cyrodiil gameplay, including things like ball groups, emp exploiting, PvP Guilds being noninclusive and people dying so extremely fast with strong builds, I mean like it doesn't even matter. Something had to give and Vengeance is part of this. It is a natural response to how bad things have been in Cyrodiil for the last several years. That said, please know that many of us enjoy Vengeance, we like having alternatives, Vengeance is something that brings everyone on a more level, more equitable playing field and does not implicitly favor a few people who themselves are guilty of repeatedly running exploitive gameplay, using sets like RoA and Winterborn, among others, and in my opinion are abusive towards their fellow gamers. We're all there to have fun not talk about real world stuff and not be fed humble pie cause 5 to 15 people want to play a role and abuse people's time for hours.
You cannot have results like this, again, for years and not have some kind of equal and opposite effect to try and balance things. It's good to think of other people once in a while and many of the exploiters in Cyrodiil only care about themselves, especially in the Guilds. To them the rest of us are invisible, which I don't know how many of you has been in a war or been in the military but that is not how it works. So anyways, I respectfully disagree with @SneaK, I wish Vengeance a successful test and look forward to whatever we can use to make Cyrodiil a classier, more respectable and equitable place for PvPers to spend their hard-earned time and money. Some have had their way for so long and they just, don't want to give it up and have to work hard, to actually learn how to fight in PvP without a machine-proc or group mechanic playing for them, which places them on a more level PvP experience along with the rest of us. Rather than 2 factions on an entire server dying to (1) Emp or a Ball Group for hours. This is immoral, it is a display of the worst type of behavior we've seen before in other now-dead games and those games are dead for good reason. It is my sincere hope that ESO never ends up like them.
Once again thank you.

Re: Weekly tome challenge Tome Points rewards
Observations for Week 4
At 482 observations (samples) across 13 accounts, the margin of error is approximately ±4.46% at a 95% confidence level.
Week 2 and Week 3 may be omitted once (and IF) i get enough samples by Week 6 - since we had 3 Weekly Challenges removed from the possible pool for those 2 weeks due to completion & claim bugs.

Re: Lack of sanitary items
I don't have the heart to tell you all how human waste is handled in games set in the medieval age.
just give me a sponge on a stick and a pool of water and i'm good.

Re: PTS Combat Difficulty user: has this changed your approach?
I made a new character and set it to Vestige difficulty. You definitely have to think more defensively and have potions or healing. The ranged are what are going to one-shot you. Casters do a ton of damage. The mini goblin boss in Stros M'kai was light attacking for 20k, and if you were hit by the aoe, it was a one-shot. It felt like it turned it into more of a "no hit" challenge, than more difficult overall fights.
That being said, on a geared character - with the state of power creep currently - I don't think people will have a lot of trouble. If you're someone with a build that does 140k-220k, then no challenge. If you have something between 70k-100k, then it will still be a challenge.
EDIT: added more

As a returning player of only three weeks - I second this. I absolutely love Cyrodiil Vengeance. It's so accessible and immersive, it actually feels alive. The battles... omg the battles. It's arguably been one of the best MMO pvp experiences I have ever had.
And to be honest, having had my behind handed to me from highly skilled players - I simply have to take my hat off to them with great respect. There is no ill feeling that they are just playing an OP build. No - they are just really good. And I love that too.
So yeah ZOS, keep up the great work!!!
PS. If it was my call - I'd remove Grey Host completely and make access to Vengeance for ESO+ only. And rework the pvp sets as vanity items with improved looks. Game needs less sets anyways.
Thanks for reading!!! See you in Vengeance noobs!
