For me challenges is like a chore list at home or at work. I usually want to get it done asap so I can move on and do the stuff I like.
This week I tried a different approach that is more tolerable. Since I work at home I tried to reroll challenges so I have all arena and bosses and duplicates. I put a 5 minute timer on my phone and do my work on my laptop in the meantime. That way I get stuff done within 30 minutes for the whole week and can play the game the way I like in the evening. Still, I hope they change it to be more like "kill 20 bosses/Do 8 dungeons/etc'.
I am not the only doing this because when my timer reaches the 4:50 mark everyone starts spamming AOE attacks to get a hitpoint on the boss.
Re: Werewolf Update From The Combat Refresh Team
Oof. The glows are not my favorite. They look confusing and kinda make no sense for a werewolf.
“I’m a big scary thing that can pounce out of the shadows and get you - but hold up - let me just glow like goon from the 1990s Batman and Robin.”
This was a surprise I think no one asked for ):
If we can get rid of the glow tattoos - and shrink the gremlin ears - I’d be happier. Those ears… yeesh.
Yeah these glowing effects automatically make using the werewolf a no go for me. These are so ugly.
Indeed. Didn’t ask for them. Don't want them. And don’t care for them.
The effects are basically telling me “don’t use the new features the Devs have added.” And that’s a crazy thing to do for the Dev’s rollout of their new werewolf revamps.
It makes me not want to explore the morphs at all.
Why make yet another cosmetic change that is going to (again) affect how players view their character’s appearance? Especially after so many players were (and still are) unhappy with the new werewolf model?
Edit:
Imagine the upset if this was built into other player character models? You want a certain morph, then your elf gets green tattoos all over their face.

Re: Werewolf Update From The Combat Refresh Team
I really hate how the latest werewolf model looks to be honest. It doesn't look like a werewolf to me. It instead looks like Andre the Giant wearing a wolf pelt and sporting a mullet. It doesn't look mean or imposing to me at all. The model looks like it's stretched vertically and It's just really uncanny.
The current model on the live server looks goofy, and this new one looks ugly. It isn't an upgrade imo, it's a side-grade at most. A pointless waste of a designer's time that doesn't actually make werewolf form any cooler or more appealing visually.
For contrast, here's what a Werewolf from a game called Altered Beast on the PS2 looks like:
Look how much cooler and more menacing it looks. Why is it that a werewolf from a 20 year old, D-tier PS2 game that no one knows about and that was made on a shoestring budget looks better than that one we'll be getting. It's really not a good look for the design team at ZOS.

Re: Werewolf Update From The Combat Refresh Team
Honestly? I don't really get the hate, I was ok with the first model though I do admit more fur was and is welcome. The second pass here? I think its really cool. I'm seeing lots of complaints regarding the "mohawk" but I kind of always assumed that those were meant to be canine hackles and I thought they were cool highlighting the whole aggression peaking aspect of the werewolf. The bigger size is too a welcome change. I feel like maybe the images themselves don't really do the best job at selling the new model and I feel like maybe if we see it in game opinions might change. Not saying things are perfect nor ideal but I think this is far from "the wrong direction."
I kinda always assumed the partial fur thing was an intentional and consistent design choice when it came to Elder Scrolls werewolves. Its a visual sell to the fact that you are not in fact a full wolf but a man who spontaneously grew tons of hair across your body. Whether you like that design aspect or not, it does appear in other TES games and even the current live werewolf model, its just more noticeable with this one because of how much more detailed it is.
Real question shouldn't be why the new werewolf model has less fur but why the werewolf behemoths are fully covered if anything.
The fur isn't the only problem, and I'd argue to say it's a pretty low problem. The issue is that it has a friendly, derpy face with short spindly arms, and YES the shoulders are sagging really bad, you can see the difference between it and the old model, who's shoulders are more square.
It also has weird spindy legs with raptor toes and looks like a bird in the leg department, like a chicken.
And the ears are this weird half and half, not wolflike, but not on the side of the head, just giving it a funky bat look instead.
People deserve to be passionate about the model being as best as it can be, because after update 50, we're never getting changes to it again. I know people hold optimism that we're going to have all these different skillstyles and models for everyone's tastes, but let's be realistic: That's not happening. I'd be surprised if we even get more recolors after the primary 3.

Re: Werewolf Update From The Combat Refresh Team
The thing is they first showed us the concept art, which looked awesome. Then the 3D model which looked nothing like it.
It still has giant bat/rat ears, not even remotely wolf like.
The "hairstyle" looks designed to appeal to 12 year old fortnite players.
Obviously it is a talented artist who had created it, who wanted to put their own flare on it.
People just want a werewolf looking werewolf.
At the end of the day the day ends.

Is this per character or account? Is 50 dailies per character something players were in danger of hitting, if it was per toon? Does it just mean all dailies would vanish or not be acceptable? This is fascinating to me. On one hand, if per character, the endurance needed to break 50 dailies on a single toon is wild. If it's per account, with 20 possible toons, you're cooked on crafting writs alone. Why was there a limit to begin with.
It is per character.
I've also never heard of anyone getting in danger of hitting it, and I've been playing for years and can grind a lot (CP 3600 by now). There might be people having this problem if they saved 25 dailies before Jubilee, handed them in at the start and then did 25 more dailies this day, but let's be honest, the people that are this committed have far more than 1 character they do this on, so when they hit the cap they just move on to the next toon.
Way more QOL would have been to increase the amount of quests your journal can hold. Like, double it. But even an increase of 10 or less would be great.
Very interesting. So another filler qol feature to make the list bigger that impacts really no one and no one asked for. Don't get me wrong. Quality of life is great but many of these things are either not asked for or like a bizzaro world version of what was asked for. Like lead timers. I don't think most people were complaining about a month, the change is welcome but not what people were talking about when complaining about the scrying and excavation system and leads more specifically. Well, let's hope they get to some good stuff sooner or later.
Re: Update 50 PTS – Week 1 Summary
DO NOT NERF. They finally made pressure competitive with burst in PvP. On the supposedly busted 10k duel dps WW build, Static Reverb is only 6-8% of that which is nowhere near broken.I believe the reason Sorc is currently too strong is because "Static Reverberation" provides an additional source of damage

Companion's helmets
Please ZOS let our companions wear helmets or at least let us see helmets on companions spawned by other players.
Seeing 4 Bastian togheter is terribly immersion breaking for me.

This has to be baitIt was obvious that they would make ww overpowered in pvp.. Just remove it from any pvp content entirely.
