Re: Wisteria's motivation? (Tanlorin's questline, text includes spoilers)
I'm not a fan of a lot of Tanlorin dialogue or their story.
Firstly, I was almost excited for the story, because I thought Tan WAS the traitor. In the first part of the story you find a note from the Ceythalmor that uses Tan's preferred pronouns. Now how in Oblivion would they know what pronouns Tan prefers to use? So I assumed that Tan actually knew them... Sadly not the case... Would have been a better story, with potential for the player to either help Tan betray the Garland Ring or choose to seek redemption and save it.
Next, the whole Garland Ring thing is about helping save Altmer society from corruption and help people? So why does Tan give absolutely no fu**s about the Geysers or anything happening on Summerset. You defeat a gyser and their response is "I'm kinda hungry for fish...". You don't even get any approval points because they don't care...
Lastly, Tan's personality has to be the most annoying out of all the companions. They can't take anything seriously. Even throughout their story they couldn't stop joking around. At least Zerithar knew when things were getting serious, and I felt more of an impact when things happened to him. I don't even have Tan leveled up fully, because their voice lines to almost everything is just... Awful. When you're low on Magicka they shout "Drink a bottle of the blue stuff!" It's called a POTION! Read a book! Oh right, they hate reading! Which does explain a lot...

Re: Why is Naj-Caldeesh so grossly overtuned in normal?
It's not overtuned. It's just not conducive to the "me first" player mentality that somehow became acceptable behavior in pug groups. Speedrunning and multiple-individuals playstyles simpy aren't as effective.
I kinda like it.

Werewolf ‘class mastery’ suggestion
Keeping this short and simple- trying to get a suggestion out there regarding werewolf and class mastery. This is essentially a spin of another suggestion I saw in the general werewolf feedback thread so feel free to tag whomever for credit.
-Give werewolf its own ‘class mastery’ line (only while transformed so one may benefit from running pure class- even if not for MAXIMUM efficiency it remains viable).
While transformed, you are unfortunately locked out of standard class mastery in this scenario however can access the same on the werewolf-side for werewolf. To avoid further power spikes (until we post something to live to see actual flow), make these class mastery passives on the lower end of power ‘increases’ and/or more flavor or utility oriented.
As a result, we should keep standard class passives (as we always have), and return weapon passives to us (we need the pen and the movement speed is essential when barred completely from a purge/snare removal).
~I’m sure it’s a bit of work but to me this seems like a fair suggestion and we have ~4-5 weeks to make it happen so seems relatively fair there as well (idk, I don’t code so gl out there!)

Speak for yourself, after the endless years of nonstop ballgroups and bombers destroying PvP for all but the biggest sweatlords I am so looking forward to this.
Seeing the angry little forum bubble throwing a tantrum when they can't get carried by their sets to crush PvErs and clueless zergs to give themselves a fragile sense of power and superiority over others is never not music to my ears. The fact is that they have never, at any point represented the majority of PvPers. If ZOS did literally the exact polar opposite of what the chronically online "PvP" population here demanded then Cyrodiil today would be a much better place.
Not many times I support ZOS' stance on PvP but got to say, this is one of them.
As one of those PvP players who "throws a tantrum when I can't get carried by my sets to crush PvErs and clueless zergs to give myself a fragile sense of power and superiority over others" I will be taking vengeance week off. You see, I'm not a fan of the toxic PvE community that continuously make statements like the one from you I've quoted.
I've put in the time to be good at live Cyrodiil PvP. I'm not going to help ZOS throw all my years of time and effort into the trash bin.
LOL, I've been pvping in cyro since 2015 and am grand overlord. But nice try at reading the situation anyway. Enjoy your time off.

Re: The game needs things to do.
I am so LOL'ing over this whole "there's nothing to do" stuff. Here was most of my play time today:
1. Daily crafting writs on two characters (this was force of habit - five-ish years of login rewards kind of gets you into the habit of logging in to at least get Hireling emails) and a Wrothgar delve daily because 1000 critters aren't going to kill themselves (more overland critters than delve critters, because still bugged, AFAIK). Would that my reputation preceded me and they just fell on their swords at the first hint of my Khajiit wrath, but no. Side note that the crafter now knows ALL crafting motifs, so we get to count and see how much of a difference we get with 135 known motifs vs 131-ish known motifs (motif #109 doesn't exist) on Master Writ drops. A problem for tomorrow-me, but any excuse to humble-brag...
2. Account switch.
3. Daily crafting writs. Dude! Seriously? You're over 900 CP and haven't even started your second alliance zone? Get that Altmer tushy out there and kill something fer cryin' out loud. No? -sigh- OK
4. More dailiy crafting writs. Rivenspire calls! You can do it! I know you can do it! He's running toward the wayshrine. Dang! Trippped and face-planted on the steps. OK, throw down a Healing Ritual and maybe tomorrow. And wash your face; that's embarrassing.
5. More daily crafting writs. Spencer Rye has a job for me and stop by the guilds in Wayrest for dailies because Sharp is lookin' a little weak in the skills department. Swing by Wrothgar for a daily while I'm at it because 1000 critters ain't going to kill themselves.
6. More daily crafting writs. Isobel is maxed for guild skills, but we do them anyway because +125 rapport for Bolgrul (and +10 for even entering the Enclave). Need to knock over another dolmen (challenge completed). More "powerful" enemies to kill (challenge completed), and Spencer Rye is still good for +10 Thieves Guild rep (and those critters in Hew's Bane and Wrothgar ain't going to kill themselves).
7. Swtiched back to main account and finished off the 1K kills while doing a couple of dailies.Yes, it's that annoying to know that I'm less than 50 kills away from clearing it. A bit more rep with the Thieves Guild. Really do need to do something to put the final nail in Cosh's coffin, but another problem for tomorrow-me (or maybe day-after-tomorrow-me)
Normally, I'd also squeeze in one or two pledges, and maybe a BG or two, but didn't today. Mount upgrades on the last two alt-account characters will be done in a couple of days. Researching that 9th gear trait will take a bit longer, but there is light at the end of that tunnel. All told, the daily chores kept me occupied for several hours and once character got Quen's personal stuff finished and Walks-Softly half-finished (and why do I pick up a bounty going through a door when I can't see what's on the other side of the door to know that it's not safe to enter?).

Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Combat Refresh: Werewolf
Alright this is getting silly. Why are y’all summoning people like it’s a yugioh battle?
I’m just going to wait for official responses/changes at this point. It’s hard to take this argument seriously!
Another piece of feedback while I’m here; move the extra speed from rampage into the passive (while also increasing the speed cap for werebeasts), then replace it with a snare immunity. Werewolves being terrible against bad terrain doesn’t make much sense to me, you see.

Re: Anti-Teabagging Policy now encouraging even worse toxic behavior
SilverBride wrote: »I don't know when the focus went from stopping bad behaviors to telling people to just accept and deal with them, but this doesn't bode well for society.
Never said "just accept it" or I could have saved myself a lot of time just typing those three words.
This is how I think it should be:
1. In a game that has PVP and actions not controlled by the Dev's, you should just expect to be teabagged at some point. If that bothers you, don't play PVP.
2. But if you do PVP, you should have the right to ask someone to stop if you believe their behavior amounts to harassment.
3. BUT (and its a BIG BUT!) if you have partaken in the same action, you waive the right to complain about that same action. After all, we don't want to empower hypocrites, right? RIGHT?
4. And treat false reports as a violation of the rules just the same so that all these people who are spam-reporting get banned for abusing the rules too.
5. And 5, no player should face a minute of suspension BEFORE the reports are investigated. Investigate first, then punish. Get rid of this nonsense where a player can be suspended "pending investigation."
Is that fair enough for you?
Re: Arachnophobia and ESO
I have a similar issue with wasps - even though I can one-shot most of them, I still find myself going around them whenever possible! I really, REALLY don't like wasps! I tell myself they're just pixels, but I still go around them!
i have the opposite effect with the bees/wasps in the game ... im allergic to bees in RL ... and find myself going out of my way to kill everyone i see in the game lol
