Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Combat Refresh: Werewolf

Definitely. I don't think that anyone wants to see WW get nerfed into the ground in PvE.
Fortunately, this iteration of the Combat Team seems to have a much lighter touch when it comes to that and is more open to making PvP-specific alterations to mechanics.
One or two magic number tweaks while "against players" likely solves any problems.
Whatever changes happen should not make Werewolves irrelevant or undesirable to play in PvP. We belong there, too.
How many Werewolf players do you see in PvP outside of guild events? Hardly any, from my experience. I hope Update 50 makes Werewolf viable again so that we see more people using it.
It feels like nearly everyone switched over to Dragonknight (or Subclassed some Dragonknight lines) in Update 49, so I want to see people using Werewolf in Update 50. Unlike Vampire or Dragonknight, Werewolf requires you to go all in to get any of its benefits — nerf it too much and it'll be in the same spot as it was before.
Werewolf must be overtuned to convince anyone to abandon the human form builds in practice; what Werewolf lacks in flexibility, it makes up for in raw power. This isn't merely a one bar build, because one bar builds have access to so many more abilities, passives, and core combat mechanics than werewolves do.
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.

Re: It's time to NERF new DK.
It is perfectly fine where it is. Do not convince ZOS to go back to their reactionary *** they've done in the past that has exhausting negative effects on everyone's future in the game.
No it's not.
They decided to update the classes?
Great idea.
They decided to do it one by one, increasing the feeling of imbalance?
That's their choice, but now they have to live with it.
Would you rather them wait 2 years to do it all at once and keep the previous meta broken for the next two years or would you rather have incremental class domination so that it's a little bit more fresh?
They could perfectly well have improved the class without creating such an imbalance.
Do tell. How does one add more power to an underpowered class by not adding more power when the devs told everyone the goal was to add more power? To all classes. One at a time. With DK being first. But somehow add the same power balance to all of the other classes. Without a flux capacitor and a Delorean
How about we nerf players calling for nerfs instead.
Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Vengeance Campaign
What is the plan for allowing players with characters on more than 1 faction access to a regular PvP environment if you are removing the only option for non alliance locked cyrodiil outside of vengeance?
Re: Official Discussion Thread for "Tamriel Tomes Season Zero Developer Update"
I am not sure if I missed it, but I would really appreciate removing the chance to get the same item I rerolled earlier. I just lost one option on PS5 EU because the last of my rerolls gave me the Arena choice, one I had previously rerolled. Consider allowing us to go back to 1 we rerolled if we don't like what we ended up with, especially if we are out of rerolls!
I do not want Trials, Arenas, ToT and some other specific things.
I am perfectly fine getting duplicates of ones I have either completed or have on my list. I suspect that will be removed but it does make it easier to have multiples that proceed at the same time!

Re: From Balance Issues to Overpriced Bundles: What Happened to ESO?
i know this thread is about the Recall price, my comment was about the sale happening and not being skipped.twisttop138 wrote: »tomofhyrule wrote: »Ew, I really need that recall for one of my characters, and I did see a lot of nice stuff dropping today.
This also feels really bad considering that our typical April Crown sale didn’t come this year. Yeah, they’re never guaranteed, but still…
It was awkward enough watching the Direct stream and seeing how much of that was gonna be FOMO, but now that things keep getting more expensive and sales aren’t happening…
I mean, I guessed it was coming, but that doesn’t make it feel good.
the crown sale has been active for 10 hours on Playstation and Xbox, only pc fors does not have it yet
This is helpful for sure, but the point is that they priced stuff that high. It's been like this for quite awhile. $100+ houses for example. I would love to have this recall and I may because of the sale. The prices are a bit on the high side though, especially for a shop that also had gambling boxes.
now active on pc
Personally i am not shocked at the price of the Recall and Tharriker as they are similar in effects to the Apex tier Recalls and Mounts.
Mounts with effects similar to Radiant or Apex Mounts are also usually around 4 or 5000 crowns.
examples of those kinds of mounts:
- Voideater Durzog
- Hollowjack indrik
- Solstice indrik
not defending the price
My mistake!! I will tell you though. You cost me some money with your post. I wasn't aware of the crown sale and I told my wife. Her response was "Great! We'll buy some for both accounts." So I'll probably get the recall anyway. Which reenforces these prices because we pay them lol. I'm part of the problem.
Re: Are The Tome Challenges As Ludicrously Unfair As It Seems?

All it does is mean they can unlock pages sooner, they aren't getting more rewards than anyone else, nor are they able to start unlocking next Season's rewards early or anything. If you're completing your Challenges you'll get the rewards either way, whether they take the whole Season or not. Getting them faster or slower doesn't change that you'll get them.I think it's too early to tell if the varying number of tome points in the challenges will matter all that much. For one thing, plenty of the rewards are next-to-useless for long-time players, and there's no need to claim them all. For another, you can't carry more than 2000 points to the next tome anyway, so it doesn't even make sense to try to stock up.
No, its not too early to tell. I got 25% less than someone else. That is a clear disparity, and we can see it right now. The person that got an extra 500 points currently has access to things that I do not, entirely because of rng. If their good luck and my bad luck hold, they can finish the tome a month earlier than I can, and require less grinding to get there. It shouldn't take me longer to get the same rewards, full stop.
Others finishing earlier means they save time. Real world time, which as we know, is valuable to us all. I think this is a valid concern.
I dunno, I don't see it personally as an issue because of a couple of things:But what does it matter if they finish it earlier?

What do you mean "what does it matter if they finish it earlier?" Of course it matters, I'm getting shafted having to grind and do stuff I don't want to do instead of the stuff I enjoy while they're already done and off to have actual fun. Because of rng and zos' insistence on locking rewards behind grinding instead of real content, I've been chosen to have less fun than someone else. I've been chosen to have more of my time wasted. Plus, if I have to use caches, then its costing me more money to reach the same point! So yes, its completely unfair for no reason, and it sure as oblivion matters.
1) No one is going to consistently be getting the activities with the super high amount of Tome Points. We've all seen that the reroll system needs some SERIOUS work. You can use all five of them and wind up rerolling into a task you're trying to get away from over and over again. And on the other side of that, people getting tasks with the fewer Points won't ALWAYS be unlucky and get only those. This is the first week of the system, it might look like some people will consistently ALWAYS have more and others ALWAYS have less, but I'm willing to bet as time goes on it will even out and people will more than likely wind up getting more or less the same amount, even if any one or two week's amounts are higher or lower than someone else's.
2) These aren't meant to be knocked out in a couple of days. Most of them you probably could if you really put your time into it, but you can have up to 12 Weekly Challenges roll over, which means the ones you CAN knock out in a few days you likely will, and those that take you longer because of something like limited schedule can be done at a slower pace.
Now I WILL admit that this particular bit CAN mean people with more time can get their five Challenges a week done every week and thus get more Points total than those who can't, but on the other hand...that would be the case even IF all the Challenges offered the same amount of Points. Some people will have the time to do 60 Challenges every Season, some people won't. It was like that for Endeavors. So there will already be people who can unlock Pages/rewards faster than others anyway, simply because there will always be people who can complete every Challenge every week and those who can't.
I do get the point is "If I do all my Weekly Challenges and get 2k Points, why is that less than someone who does them all and gets 2.5k?" And like I already mentioned, that's assuming before the first week is even done that everyone will consistently get the same numbers every week that they're getting from this week, and that won't be the case.
3) Starting next Season in U50, they're going to be introducing doing rerolls for Gold after your initial five. I don't think they've mentioned if THOSE ones have a limit or if they'll be unlimited, but it does mean you'll have more chances starting next update to get tasks worth more points if you prefer doing that. ESPECIALLY if they take into account how shoddy the reroll system is now and rework it to NOT give you something you rerolled three times in a row >__>.
I believe the disparity between points IS because there are tasks that are harder or take longer than others, but ZOS is expecting they'll eventually even out over the course of every Season because Person A won't always be getting the Do Five Trials every week, and Person B won't be getting Harvest 15 Mats every week for the disaprity to remain regular.

From Balance Issues to Overpriced Bundles: What Happened to ESO?
I came home from work, logged into the game, and saw there was a new weapon bundle. I almost bought it, almost. Why?
Because when I looked at the prices for this;
and that;
I started to see the bigger picture of where ESO is heading.

- Balance in PvE? That’s a lie.
- Balance in PvP? A complete joke.
- Prices in the Crown Store? Absolutely ridiculous.
And ZOS, you’re still trying to push for more? Honestly… no. Not even the Arms Pack. Just… no thanks.

Re: Tomes weekly challenges too much work
Yeah, I find them a bit too repetitive. I don't mind repeating a task a couple of times, but 6 times gets a bit tedious. More variety would be appreciated.
