Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Combat Refresh: Werewolf
First off, thank you ZOS so much for improving the werewolf experience! I have been petitioning for this since 1 year after launch. I have to pinch myself that its happening haha. So, thank you!
I recently installed the PTS and immediately checked out the new werewolf features! WOW incredible so far. The audio and visuals alone make it 10x better for me. After soloing three hard dungeons and traveling endlessly on all fours all across Tamerial with NO WEREWOLF TIMER (THANK YOU SO MUCH), i have a couple thoughts.
Visuals: Berserker - I love everything about this model besides the red scars on the arms. little too blood makica feeling and not enough berserker werewolf for me. The height is wonderful! fur texture, wonderful! Eyes, wonderful! (I haven't played pack leader so i won't comment)
Animations: Running - i LOVVE the running animation. A few years back i made a ESO forums post called "Werewolf and Vampire travel Forms". The basic idea of that post was to allow us more RP for werewolf and vampires. removing the werewolf timer out of combat and creating a whole new running animation FITS THE BILL for me. I'm thrilled with that. Running on all fours is ESSENTIAL for me. It wouldn't feel like a werewolf if it didn't sprint on all fours. Details matter, thank you for getting that right.
FEW COMBAT ANIMATION BUGS - I noticed with the "feral Pounce" ability that one of the morphs has no audio and looks a bit clunky. Love the cone idea though. The channeled claw attack morph looks like the werewolves' shoulders are dislocated when striking over and over to me. AMAZING combat skill but i think the animation needs a bit of tuning if at all possible.
The bite skill is by far my favorite! the audio, the feeling of tearing out a chunk of flesh is really there with this skill. 10/10.
Werewolf Sprint Speeds - As I mentioned, running on all fours is ESSENTIAL as a werewolf. you have nailed the animation and audio! I think since we are finally able to traverse the world as a werewolf unencumbered by a timer, maybe increase werewolf sprint speeds to match a mount speed OUT OF COMBAT. Maybe The speed of your werewolf is determined by your actual current mount speed. This would sure allow players to fully immerse and feel like were running at true werewolf speeds.
Audio - MY GOSH the audio. Amazing! the feeding audio is the least impressive to me, but it makes up for it after the wolf is done feeding. He shakes his head and lets out a true beastly grunt. SO satisfying.
One of the werewolves kill cams (savage...something? I can't remember the name) is just a big howl at your target that kills them. I think this might need some work. At the least pick a different audio for the howl. Something more savage. great Idea with those kill cams though. I'm LOVING Them.
Combat - I honestly am Very satisfied with the state of the werewolf combat. plenty of sustain, Heals, bleeds and abilities like the channeled claw attack to utilize other armor sets like deadly ECT. This is the one Area I don't have any notes on. YOU GUYS KILLED IT.
conclusion - As you can probably tell I'm very passionate about werewolves but also about ESO. I have been playing since launch. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! all these changes, refreshes, updates! making the necessary changes to modernize and make ESO relevant to VET and New players. I can tell who ever worked on this werewolf refresh, that they are just as passionate as I am about Werewolves in ESO. Thank you for taking the time to ask your community for feedback and ACTUALLY take it into account. What a TIME to be ALIVE as a werewolf fan. THANK YOU!

Re: April 20th Vengeance Only..
Is this the last test before we can move from Greyhost permanently? I sure hope so.

You can let them pile up. A friend turned off my auto-claim addon for a few days and turned it back, and they got this:
I did a similar test with a weekly challenge, just let it build up before turning my auto-claim back on:
So you don't have to claim them and you can just ignore them with no ill effects; the main downside to not claiming is not being able to see what progress you've made beyond the current checkpoint, but that progress is being recorded by the server even if you can't see it.
In any case, the auto-claim addon makes the whole tome point thing work frictionlessly just like endeavors, and it's tiny, trivially simple, with no UI that gets in the way and no performance footprint.
Re: Sorc pet hate has to stop
But let’s stop coming for my favorite things, otherwise we can Tab Target your favorite things and 180° this too and I’m sure I can come up with a more compelling case to tear down yours. 😁
Re: Sorc pet hate has to stop
Yeah I’m sure it doesn’t work properly for someone who likely doesn’t know how it works.
Try it sometime.
Re: Cross-Faction Grouping in Night Market

If someone here tried it on PTS and can demonstrate to me that cross-faction grouping worked for them, that'd be cool.
But I'd prefer something from @ZOS_Kevin or colleagues.
We are less than 2 weeks out from the Night Market reveal. People would like to plan their groups and faction choices.
They did say this was allowed and a thing during one of the reveal livestreams a month or two ago.
Re: Cross-Faction Grouping in Night Market
It is possible, but each player contributes to the faction they pledged themselves to.
Re: Cross-Faction Grouping in Night Market
Here's a quote from one of the devs:
“I've gone back and forth on which faction I intend to join up with. They all offer great rewards and I can play together with friends or guildmates no matter which faction we all select,” shares Lead Dungeon Designer Shane Slama. “So, for me it's going to come down to which of the patrons I want to visit with regularly, as you'll be seeing a lot of one another.”
