Re: Please Zos, can you buff the less used skill lines?
Meanwhile, they are NERFING Shadow because they don't want to over-nerf one of the strongest abilities in the game in one of the strongest skill lines.
I want to understand the logic there, but it doesn't look like there was any.

I ran into a dancing Molag Bal, in the middle of town.
How many "members of the Great Houses of Morrowind" have I seen while playing ? Telvanni, Hlaalu and Redoran shouldn't be allowed names for played characters.
Why on earth not? They're perfectly cromulent names for in-world characters to have. Why would it be unreasonable for some little-known, never-going-to-inherit minor scion of House Telvanni to go off and seek their fortune as an adventurer? If you go to that level of nitpickingness it's entirely immersion-breaking to see hundreds or thousands of other (player) characters running around all of whom have also defeated Molag Bal in exactly the same way as you. Fortunately TES has the ultimate lore-preserving feature that it's all explicitly part of the creator's dream, so you can retcon this and literally everything else as you're inside a big dragonbreak where any and all versions of reality all coincide and interact, so when you see this *other* version of The Hero, it's just another version of you inside the creator's dream. Which, I suppose, it actually is...

Re: Can we please change hardmode for Crypt of Heart 2 and Banished Cells 2?
If you can't PUG base game veteran dungeons, that's... sort of your problem. 😂
Most people can, and regularly do PUG veteran HM pledges, with zero issues.
¿que?
I can deal with PUG's just fine. I wasn't complaining about dungeon mechanics being too difficult and unintuitive for PUG's, you guys were. That was literally in the first post of this thread:
These are extremely annoying to explain and do with pugs why i usually just stopped doing them all together and just skipp them...
Also:
I'm also a little surprised that you think these mechanics are good practice to prepare players for trials... I mean, in BC2, the HM mechanic is literally for the dd's to ignore the adds and focus on the boss (the complete opposite of what you're supposed to do in 99% of trials,) and in CoH2, you just have to slow down your dps, plus ignore adds (which, again, is the complete opposite of what you're supposed to do in 99% of trials.)
Yeah and 99% of the dungeon mechanics are braindead unga-bunga.
And if you ever heard a raidlead screaming for DPS stop at the twins in vDSR or Bahsei in vRG or ANY other trial encounter with hp percentage triggers, you will perhaps understand why those BC2 and COH2 mechanics are not that bad in regards to raising awareness of the fact that sometimes DD's need to actually slow down and pay attention to what's happening. Because those are usually the bosses that are claiming the majority of wipes.

Quest/Story aside.. the biggest reason difficulty scaling wouldn't work very well in ESO is because the rewards couldn't scale with the difficulty or challenge. If harder difficulty instances gave out better rewards, the majority of the ESO playerbase would revolt. Because when ESO players say an increase in difficulty should be optional, they still expect the same rewards should they choose the easy option.

I guess I would be fine with that, but where do you draw the line? Do you get to pick and choose what cosmetics to see, does that include outfits, what about polymorphs, or in-game earnable skins and costumes. Just seems like it could get really convoluted and take a lot of resources from the dev team..
I'm fine with it too but it will never happen because every cosmetic you see in the game is an advertisement for the crown store.
You'd think so, but whenever I was asked "that looks so cool, what is it/where did you get it" I usually have to say I have no idea (and the game doesn't actually tell you in most cases where a collectible is actually from), or that it's no longer available. Both aren't great to sell something. Usually just leaves everyone frustrated or disappointed.

Re: 600+ days played character is now obsolete thanks to Subclassing
The most endgame content of ESO where combat is concerned is actually far into the Infinite Archive
Those 3 DPS skill lines Subclassing builds are not going to make it very far in there.

Re: Concerned about the potential use of AI on loading screen artwork
does it matter if it was? AI is getting better and better with each passing day. Soon much game development/assets/etc will be controlled by AI. I've been using AI daily since 2018 and if things are so minor and unnoticeable then it really doesn't matter when they can put the work in elsewhere where it matters.
Yes, it does, because people justifiably want to enjoy real art made by actual human beings, instead of copy-pasted AI slop.
can't find the "justification" when AI is just as good or even better when managed/used properly than much human art. Just have to know which ones to use and put in the work to use them properly.
It isn't though. Ai art has never been better than human art. Of course not all human art is good but so long as there is an attempt, it's already better than Ai, which is just glorified plagiarism unless you trained your Ai exclusively on your own works (which is self-plagiarism).
You act as if cutting costs in the art department will somehow make the game better, but these things don't relate to each other. ESO doesn't need upscaled versions of old loading screens, so if you are making the argument that money is being wasted on human art, you can also reframe this as wasting resources and work hours on having Ai recreate images that were perfectly fine the way they were. Your argument has no legs to stand on.
Please Zos, can you buff the less used skill lines?
Zos, please. I want to make a viable build (and fight against other players) that use other skill lines than assasination, animal companions and storm calling. Its very frustrating that the overwhelming majority of players is begging you for some buff to the less used skill lines and you are keeping the same 5 op skill lines for everyone for this week update too. In pve is not better, everyone is a variation of arcanist, please do something. We love this game, we want it to be fun and diverse.
