Re: companions need to be adjusted (challenge difficulty)
The whole point of challenge mode is to go in yourself solo lol. Isn't this like how some people hate summons in dark souls cos it makes the game too easy? Just DON'T USE IT THEN.
First they want their own instance and now this. ridiculous.

Re: companions need to be adjusted (challenge difficulty)
Um, if you want a challenge, WHY are you even using companions?
Companions are used to gain 33% dmg mitigation via Pearlescent. This helps a lot on the most hard-hitting encounters in the game.
Tbh I don't really understand your take - "If you want a challenge, then don't use this". It's a bad challenge if you must restrict yourself. Kinda what folks in the overland thread were suggesting all these years.
Companions on vestige now hardly die (depends on the boss) while naked. This same boss might take most of your hp while you're at resists cap + a bunch of mitigation sources with just a basic attack. If vestige is about difficulty, I see no reason why companions are even allowed to be this strong.

This, and the vast majority of players will never hit numbers that high, so posting a top tier DPS as an example of "nonsense" is a pretty skewed viewpoint.
A better question to ask is, how high will ZOS allow damage to go and for what purpose? Is it to make raids easier for casuals or...? What's the point with all this power creep? Personally, I don't care because it makes trials more accessible for those who wouldn't otherwise be able to clear vets, but I do wonder just how high ZOS is going to let damage go or is there going to be a rug pull like always and the nerf hammer drops.

Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Combat Refresh: Werewolf
Take all the help you can get. My posts were directed at the PvP duelers who understand CMX and the meta. I don't want to see WW or Class Mastery nerfed. Meanwhile we've been screaming at the devs to do something about proc sets like Relequen for years.I appreciate the real duels but this is just a sliver of the issue I have with the 'nerf-callers'
Attempt at short explanation so as not to derail: information you don't see basically cancels out, you're left with 1 mostly optimal StamSorc vs 1 mostly optimal WW, both piloted reasonably well. About as evenly matched as we're gonna get in a game with a zillion variables.
Duels between high damage pressure DDs are typically short. Whoever gets the upper hand first is gonna win. You don't see 8k sustained because the opponent dies too fast. To get that you need an artifical controlled environment like Hoang having someone parse on his PvP tank.
TL;DR don't nerf WW, don't nerf Class Mastery, but do nerf Relequen in PvP.

Re: The Silence On Antiquity Leads Is Defeaning!
Coming from someone who spent upwards of 18 hours straight picking flowers in Shadowfen to get the Tide-Glass Beads for the Harpooner's Wading Kilt I personally think the drop rate on leads is fine. Most of them you get rather quickly (some would argue, too quickly). Don't take this the wrong way OP, but I don't see why a change to the drop chance is necessary because someone is having an issue getting their 3rd one to drop... If anything, overworld could use even more extremely rare items, rather via leads or not, to give people a reason to hang out in various zones more. Outside of a few very rare furniture items in just a couple zones, there really isn't anything to put a bunch of long-term farming into.
Mythics are nothing compared to antiquity furnishings. Their RNG is much more favourable than those for furnishings, and I've never spent more than a week farming for a Mythic. Also one never needs multiple copies of a mythic, unlike furnishings.
I fail to see why housing enthusiasts should be discriminated against in this game. Why should we be the ones burdened with impossible-to-obtain items? Our time is no less valuable than others'.

The new Skill Style for the Vampire Ult appears to possibly be bugged.
Re: Wisteria's motivation? (Tanlorin's questline, text includes spoilers)
I'm not a fan of a lot of Tanlorin dialogue or their story.
Firstly, I was almost excited for the story, because I thought Tan WAS the traitor. In the first part of the story you find a note from the Ceythalmor that uses Tan's preferred pronouns. Now how in Oblivion would they know what pronouns Tan prefers to use? So I assumed that Tan actually knew them... Sadly not the case... Would have been a better story, with potential for the player to either help Tan betray the Garland Ring or choose to seek redemption and save it.
Next, the whole Garland Ring thing is about helping save Altmer society from corruption and help people? So why does Tan give absolutely no fu**s about the Geysers or anything happening on Summerset. You defeat a gyser and their response is "I'm kinda hungry for fish...". You don't even get any approval points because they don't care...
Lastly, Tan's personality has to be the most annoying out of all the companions. They can't take anything seriously. Even throughout their story they couldn't stop joking around. At least Zerithar knew when things were getting serious, and I felt more of an impact when things happened to him. I don't even have Tan leveled up fully, because their voice lines to almost everything is just... Awful. When you're low on Magicka they shout "Drink a bottle of the blue stuff!" It's called a POTION! Read a book! Oh right, they hate reading! Which does explain a lot...

You don't miss getting credit if you forget to claim it manually for a few days. I did forget to claim it on one account and then just had to click the things a few times, got credit for all days. Same with the resource gathering challenges. If you forget to claim one, it starts counting towards the next one already in the background. Now the auto claim function is of course a different matter.

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.
