Re: Feedback on Huntsman's Warmask Mythic
8% is a laughable value for a mythic like this. It needs to be in the 15-20% range to even be considered in my opinion.
Re: Tone-deaf AUA on Reddit
The majority of the AUA replies are just… corporate word sauce. They don’t answer anything.
“That’s a great question - we’ve been looking at this for some time now and while we cannot give a direct answer it is something we are working on and we will have some exciting news about it in the future but we cannot talk about it yet. We will be excited to talk about this another time though, especially because we are really working on this and on improving our communication with the community.”
Copy, paste, done.

Re: Tone-deaf AUA on Reddit
This might not be the exact thread for this, but it’s so frustrating.
When people ask for greater communication, they don’t just want more developer appearances on the forum and QnAs. They want the difficult questions to be answered and they want their issues actually acknowledged. All you need to do is scroll through the pages in General, Bug Reports and the PTS section to see dozens of the same topics being brought up constantly. If you want some examples of stuff that people wanted to hear communication about, well:
Why didn’t you take into consideration the feedback about the Templar jabs rework?
Why did it take literal years to address concerns regarding the Grim Focus perma glow?
Why was the decision made to not run the U35 QnA session despite the update getting near universal negative feedback?
What are the Devs intended goal when it comes to combat and what is the thought process behind the decision you have made? (This reddit post and the point about consumables is a great example of this).
Subclassing was a pretty divisive update. Lots of people love it and lots of people dislike it. Hundreds of players left feedback about the update on social media and here on the forums and the majority of it wasn’t taken into account. Why was that the case?
How can bugs that have been in the game for years go unfixed despite hundreds of thousands of reports?
If feedback isn’t taken into account on the forums, where should we go to give it?
Each of these issues has caused problems to players in some capacity. Yet, every time anyone brings these up it’s met with crickets. When people want an increase in communication this is what they mean.

Re: Feedback on Leaderboard Changes
RedJohn_COF wrote: »I actually had a discussion about that in our guild today and someone asked why not keep the class specific leaderboards but also have one for subclassing. That way you don't take anything away from people who just don't want to subclass (yes there are those people) but still have it accessible for everyone.
This would also be interesting to compare how the differences between "subclassing" and none subclassing is, because it was said that it's rather opt in and not a must have.
So I actually think this is a bad idea, because the leaderboards already have a low population on the less played classes. On PC EU, Warden and Necro only 59 and 55 entries in Maelstrom Arena, with 39 and 28 entries in Vateshran Hollows (DK also only has 42 entries there). And the bottom scores there are fairly low when compared to what is possible.
If you make those pure class only, then your leaderboards are going to shrink even more, which makes it lose a lot of value. A leaderboard between 10 players where half the runs are at 0 vitality is not a particularly exciting leaderboard.

Re: This is how games die
Want to know what "screaming into the void" looks like? Arguing with a RL that your build is perfectly viable and you can get the job done without issue, despite not speccing what the likes of SkinnyCheeks claim is the new "meta".
So… because you are not able to get into trials, then all raiders are being petulant?
That actually sounds like a balance issue - if the game is so poorly balanced that only one meta setup is acceptable because everything else is miles behind, that suggests the game devs need to work on making things more viable.
Before U46, you could make the “but I’m a NB main and am able to parse on the same level as the Arcanists, so I can play along” argument. But after Subclassing, there is nothing that parses close to the Arcbladeplar or Arcbladeknight, and nothing that has the survivability or cleave or ease-of-use of Flail-Flail-Pragmatic Fatecarver. It’s a one-meta game because the devs aren’t bothering to balance the other lines. Literally the only reason to run anything other than meta is that you personally find it fun to play something else… and “but I want to have fun!” isn’t going to be enough of a reason for others to agree to carry someone who’s clearly underperforming… which anyone who isn’t running the meta is doing by nature.
Please stop giving us undyeable feathers on outfit styles
I love outfits with feathers on them but they keep being undyeable (including this new one), meaning I can't use them for what I would like to use them for... as the feather color is rarely correct.

Best queued dungeon group EVER!
I queued up for one of the specific dungeons for the new Golden Pursuits. We did a fast run and I asked if the others wanted to run more of those. Well 2 players left but another player and I queued together and got paired with 2 more players who were also doing these. The four of us had a lot of fun going from dungeon to dungeon and I have never had a pug group click like the 4 of us did. So not only did we complete all the dungeons, we ended up with 3 new friends each! It was awesome!
Re: Feedback on Huntsman's Warmask Mythic
8% damage is pretty weak compared to what is already available. This would need to be increased by quite a bit to be worth using.
Additionally why are we being given more and more and more heavy attack sets when the heavy attack bug hasn't been fixed? This set is extra useless because of that.

Re: Tone-deaf AUA on Reddit
Progression and release date. AP is the pre-cursor to WV and pre-dates it by 5 years. LIke it or not that is a "place" in the game. As for difficulty, it drops on normal and is not hard to farm.
It does have a place. And that place is in the “outdated” pile. The equipment bloat in this game is some of the worst I’ve ever seen. Seriously, take the time to read through a list of every armor set in the game and tell me all of them have a place in modern ESO. Saying they still have a place just because they came first is like saying the bow and arrow still has a place in warfare.
