I would dare to disagree here. ZOS argumented cloak change by 2 things:
1. Ease of use - they wanted to make it easier to use for new players. Just toggle on of vs cast exactly every 2.9 seconds.
2. Some mag NB builds were able to stay in cloak pretty much indefinitely if they build for it.
And tbh. they failed in both of those.
Previously, you could cast a skill exactly every 2,9 seconds and doing so on top of doing everything else required some skill. Some extra care & coordination. Not only that but you also needed to know what you can cast and what you cant cast as most of thing will interrupt cloak.
With the change to toggle, sure - it might seem like just one button instead of one button every 2,9 seconds - but there is an important catch - on its own, even on a max magica build - cloak is too short to do anything remotely usefully. It just burns your magicka way too fast to move from point A to B. So you need to use Equilibrium or Siphoning Strikes ON TOP of cloak to just get some additional magicka. And for the most part - if you do it - you will lose health. So if you want to stay in cloak longer you also need Rally (2h skill).
So we went from: cast a skill every 2,9 seconds.
to: Toggle on, cast Equilibrium or Siphoning Strikes every 2 seconds and cast Rally and then again Rally when low on health....
Now again, the goal was to make it easier ? umm... yeah that went well....
As for the 2nd part - to make it a bit harder to stay in cloak longer, it also seemed not to work, as with a bit practice - you can stay in cloak even longer that before even on a stamina build. You just need to combo it with stuff that gives you magicka back and is not mag recovery.
Previous cloak was way better as it was more straightforward and more simple to use while also having some kind of skill-based mini-game and the better you were at that game the longer you could stay hidden.
Re: Overland Content Feedback Thread
I'm curious - how many people actually expect to see anything regarding overland challenge this year? It's mid-August and nothing I've seen has even hinted at anything coming since Matt's letter, including the 2025 roadmap. "We're working on it" doesn't really give me much confidence, I'm sorry to say. I really wish we could see something more about this from ZOS in the very near future.
The odds of harder overland content coming in 2025 is the same as anything in overland killing me in 2025 -- 0.001 percent.
Re: Merciless Resolve, Merciless Resolve, Merciless Resolve
Problem is subclassing, nb merciless was balanced around not having any other delayed burst in its kit. That changed with subclassing now you can bb/merciless sub/merciless PL/merciless etc.
I don’t think the devs will be able to balance with subclassing. Dead game

Re: Your Play Experience b/t Update 45 and Update 46 with Subclassing and Scribing In Base Game
Subclassing feels mandatory now to keep up competitively in PVE and PVP. I miss my old Templar class abilities which I felt accustomed and flowed well together across their three skill lines.
I feel displeased and disappointed in how this has impacted my play experience in the game as it is a marked departure from the well-defined class themes we had before and feels recklessly added to the game.

It shouldn’t feel like a requirement, having stepped back into game play again today and got blitzed by a few variations of subclasses builds in PvP. Players are refining subclassed builds so I’m getting left further behind for wanting to play the way I want to which is running pure class build.
I’m giving it another 2/3 months and hopefully there will be some. Buffs for pure class builds if not I’m gonna delete the game, it’s just not fun for me anymore

It was glorious.
Completed Anthelmir and The Blind shoulders with the AP from Mayhem.
Even though the shoulders are curated now felt good to save the keys tbh.

PLEASE give us an option to turn off weapon glow.
So many gorgeous weapons that are unnecessarily obscured by weapon auras/glows for enchantments and poisons.
Re: The PTS black hole of feedback
Good feedback:
Bad feedback:
- Subclassing is good because it lets me play how I want to.
- Subclassing is bad because I can't play how I want in competitive environments such as Veteran Trials and PvP.
Bad feedback:
- Subclassing is good.
- Subclassing ruins the game.
Re: Time-consuming Daily Endeavours

I suppose not every endeavor every day can be "emote two times". This is of course just my opinion, but they aren't worth stressing over. Hope tomorrow is a better day.
If the endeavour take multiple hours you should take that as an offer to take the day off.
The endeavours consume zero time if you just skip them.
Seals of endeavour arenot worth that much, you need ridiculous number to buy anything from crown store. If you need 45 minutes to get 15 seals you need 400 hours to get a crownmount costing 8000 seals.
No-one said they expected anything bad to happen.
To be clear: I'm not stressing. I m not asking for help, or crying havoc. It is my day off from work, I wanted to spend it playing ESO. I just ended up playing ESO a bit differently than I planned.
I was saying that completing the endeavors today took me a lot longer on my new account, with relatively new characters, then on my older one with level CP 2000-and-something ones. Agreeing with OP that having 3 out of 5 endeavors requiring previous quest completion and/or skill leveling is a bit of an unfortunate combination for starting players/accounts, that's all.
I realize I can choose to not do the endeavors. That doesn't mean I'm in the wrong for choosing to do them, either. I want those seals, I'm very near getting the pefect mount for my next tank-to be. (a 3600-seals one, luckily I find most 8000-ones butt-ugly)
