Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Combat Refresh: Werewolf
For the upset PvP werewolf folks, assuming at me:
I say what I say because I don't have the knowledge or authority to discuss whether werewolf is currently balanced for PvP or not. Personally though I think it's too early for anyone to say until more testing and counters are experimented with, and for werewolf itself to get it's bugs ironed out.
But I've been here for 9 years, I am FATIGUED to death by seeing all my favorite playstyles and classes destroyed for the sake of PvP when all I want to do is play in PvE in peace and actually enjoy the game without feeling like I have to run meta builds or forever suck because everything else got gutted for one reason or another. Usually for PvP reasons but not always.
With the nature of werewolf being a 1 bar playstyle (as someone already mentioned as a reason for why it can't be strong) I knew this was coming because of the 1 bar vs 2 bar elitism. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if PvEers who hate werewolf start complaining that it can maybe pull similar numbers as they can soon. Ignoring that they are always at a steep disadvantage by being melee only (this also applies to PvP too BTW).
I'm done, I'm out, I don't care anymore. I just want to stop being gutted every 3-6 months over a mode that I actually hate (PvP and more recently, trials). I'm sick and tired of people demanding the entire game to be balanced around these specific two aspects of the game (and the top like 5% of players) when there's SO MUCH MORE going on for it, including lots of solo stuff, and varying skill levels and unique builds that could flourish.

Re: It's time to NERF new DK.
As a non dk main, dk is fine how it is, other classes need a buff to match up to it. Infact DK has officially gotten its own class identity that legit means what it is. A literal, Dragon Knight. Aka fire, lots of fire, and martial attacks. It legit meets what its name is, not some poison cloud spewing earth bender, a Knight specializing in martial fighting with fire.
Now if we could get the same for the other base classes we would be all set.
Example: Sorc just feels like a pet lightning mage, not much of a sorcerer, just generic magic.
Nightblade isn't even fully on the whole "Night blade" ordeal, infact to get the most out of it you have to have stage 1 vampirsm as definitely is a bipod mosquito and needs a huge buff while being heavily focused on stealth. While some of its abilities feel that way its not completely like it.
Templar, a class ive been playing for over a decade and can confirm has had an identity crisis from the start of "What am I supposed to be?! A spear man? A light mage? A healthy light mage?!" since the skills and roles are thrown all over the place. Definitely not a templar feel to it. Definitely needs a rework fully and not being a rave class but instead of colorful lights its just flash bangs. Mostly needs an animation touch up and a class reoginization on skills. Templar legit has 2 dps lines and barely any actual stamina use. (Biting jabs, Power of light, Rune, binding javlin, rest are magicka, stamplars be struggling)
Warden is fine where it is however if we could have a second bear that'd be great. So i can add it to my current bear, my bear mount, and my bear pet. That way I can say I 4 bear the situation.
Necromancer actually might be just played wrong and going to do some testing.
Arcanist shouldn't be touched.

I wanted to chime in and agree. I've been soloing in MMOs for decades and I always solo. I have no problem with providing various kinds of content that caters to grouping, raiding, guilds, etc. Just please don't make ESO solo-unfriendly as that would make me abandon this game entirely, and I've been playing on and off since inception.
Then why aren't you just playing Skyrim on you own single player computer?
Based on some of your replies, I can see where the problem truly lies, and it's not with the other players of ESO.

Don't even say join a guild, because eso guilds really need help. They are just a place to use members for traveling.
SOME guilds are not the end all to beat all, and everyone knows how many problems come with SOME guilds. SOME ESO guilds really need help, and SOME are just a place to use members for traveling.(In fact, some guilds have been created expressly for that purpose, like Beam Me Up).
There are as many different types of guilds as there are players in ESO. The best thing about ESO guilds is that you can join up to five, not just one. None of the other games I have ever played has that feature. There are guilds out there for everyone, but it can be a challenge to find the right one. The fact that you can join multiple guilds until you find the right that has players with the same needs as you makes finding that right one easier.
Re: U50 Bug Reports for Combat Refresh: Werewolf
Thank you all for chiming in on this thread! The team wanted to follow up with some notes and questions:
@Kickimanjaro
If you purchase a passive while already transformed into a Werewolf, the passive will not apply any combat effects until you re-transform. This is expected behavior due to how the passives are set up on the backend.
@coop500
The team has identified the issue with the missing audio on the female werewolf and should have a fix incoming for a future PTS patch.
We made a change with the Werewolf refresh where as you increase or decrease your player speed, your Werewolf locomotion animations update accordingly. You will remain bipedal at lower player speeds and switch to quadrupedal at higher player speeds. It's likely that the behavior you observed was due to the characters having differing player speeds - if this was not the case, however, please let us know.
@Panderbander
Do you have any additional information for the issue that you reported? Some helpful information would be:
- Chosen class, subclasses, and skills slotted
- Which training dummy you were using and where
- Character gender and race
@ZhuJiuyin
Thank you for the callout - the team is investigating to determine the cause.

Re: The game needs things to do.
First, thanks for the feedback. A bit of follow up before asking a question. We are adding some new things for folks to do. Dynamic Encounters (Currently on PTS), Favors (Currently on PTS), Rumors (Coming later this year), Sages Vault (coming later this year) and our events are aimed to give more things to do. We are trying to find a right balance for events, since we have heard feedback around having too many.
It sounds like you are looking for more things for players to do based on their agency, rather than activities we have set up in-game. But please correct me if I am wrong. Just trying to make sure the request is understood.
Is there something you are looking for in particular? Like some examples from other games you have played would be helpful. Just so we can send things to the right places.

If said packs come with correspondent higher sale percentages... Like 50%, 60% and 70% off sale prices (XD) then we might be up to something
