Re: The Truest Solution to ESO Server Performance
Yea I would definitely put up with something like Riot’s Vanguard for better performance. A lot of people have privacy concerns with that sort of thing though.
Technically Xbox could afford to have more client side calculations since you can’t download 3rd party programs on them. It seems like ESO on Xbox still handles most things on the server side anyway. Maybe there’s more of a reason they choose not to go that route.
Unfortunately, I think Vengeance is a dead end. I saw lag creeping back in simply with the introduction of weapon skill lines. In its current state it’s still a bit too simple to be fun long term and they really need to add more complexity. More complexity seems to mean more lag though, and that puts us right back to the performance we have now. I’m hoping they figure out a new approach.

Taverns and Inns
I feel eso's taverns and inns could benefit from some sort of social congregation mechanic. Whether it be simple mini games or simple interactive mechanics. Maybe something with some gold gambling incorporated.
Do you guys think eso could benefit from some aspect of this?

600+ days played character is now obsolete thanks to Subclassing
My main character, the one I've done all quests on and discovered all points of interest, found all skyshards, learned all crafting, etc. is now obsolete thanks to Subclassing. The builds that I need to stay competitive are no longer possible on my main class, so I must reroll another character and start fresh. Either that or buy skill lines from the crown store and switch characters anytime I need something crafted. You get the idea.
It's also been said before but Subclassing has distilled combat down to maybe 5 skill lines for the serious high-end competitive gameplay.
"oh wow, you're playing XYZ... how original" etc

Nightblade balance - Move "Grim Focus" to Shadow; Move "Blur" to Assassination
As per thread title, I'll keep it short. This simple change would resolve how overly useful, and meta, the Assassination skill line from Nightblade is.
Pure Nightblades wouldn't be really affected, and subclassing builds would have to carefully pick between Assassination's many useful skills & strong passives, or the infamous Grim Focus one-shot. Besides, "Blur" used to be part of the Assassination tree before Update 43, so it wouldn't be that out of theme; and the spectral bow could be argued to be made of shadows.
This would be an effective hit towards a few cheesy subclassing combinations such as Power Overload (Storm Calling) + Grim Focus (Assassination) combined with the very useful passives of both skill lines. I'd say that Shadow doesn't have nearly as strong passives as Assassination, thus it would slightly reel the power creep back in.

Re: Taverns and Inns
As simple as it is, I think even a "press A to throw dices" completely RNG where you choose how much gold to gamble would attract some players and keep them in taverns for ages.
No new currencies.
No quests.
No skill lines.
No particular rewards aside from gold.
It still would work IMO. Both PvE and PvP.
And I think people were more for something like this than ToT when they asked for tavern games.
The fun comes from the social and the "surprise" elements.
(It could even be a gold sink if it had a tax percentage. Maybe put a limit to bet 1 million gold per day?)

Re: 600+ days played character is now obsolete thanks to Subclassing
The high end competitive gameplay has ALWAYS been very specific, with specific classes with specific armor sets in specific roles, and some classes not desired at all, depending on the content. Subclassing gives you more options in how you play your character, not fewer.

The level of cautious wording in this answer, work of art !
What's wrong with cautious wording? You'd get in more trouble if you explicitly promised a feature that you didn't deliver on.
Nothing is ever set in stone. At least we know that a few months ago ZOS has thought about it and considered it — all we can do now is wait and see what the future holds.
Agree on not over promising but this is something that should’ve been considered and put in as a base feature with scribing.
As long as you need to pay ink for each initial skill craft and save it via armoury it should save them in the same way it saves morphs. This shouldn’t even be an issue. These are skills essentially and should behave like all other skills.
Wait and see is a horrible position for zos to expect players to be happy with tbh.
Re: Upcoming U47 PTS changes, based on feedback
randconfig wrote: »MashmalloMan wrote: »Finally, we'll be looking at our Sorcerer adjustments and reiterating and reverting some of the adjustments based on your feedback:
- Lightning Form will again grant Major Resolve instead of Minor Force to retain its unique damage/defensive hybrid effect.
- Bound Armor will again grant Minor Protection at base rather than Major Resolve. Additionally, the active effect of the abilities will now scale in duration with your Armor, rather than a flat amount.
- The max Magicka and Stamina increase from the ability and its morphs have been moved to Dark Magic, which will exist on the Blood Magic passive.
- Bound Armaments will have a higher chance of applying Sundered, so it reaches a closer power level to the Grim Focus morphs.
So you completely left out the fact that the Max Magicka/Stamina you shifted is hidden behind 3 conditional states. Why is this so convoluted?!
- Cast a Dark Magic skill.
- Be at full health.
- Lasts only 10 seconds.
You also left out the fact that Minor Force has been completely removed from all 3 Sorcerer skill lines. Why?
Bound Armaments starting at 3% status effect chance and going to 15% is hardly a buff, 5% more than what it should be at 10% is negligible at best.
I feel like U47 was just a bunch of neutral/horisontal changes that somehow resulted in nerfs despite acting like they're buffs. Reality is, no one is going to use Dark Magic or Daedric Summoning so you didn't really accomplish what you set out to do.
Basically Sorc lost damage, and now has to juggle more stuff than before lol
To be fair, pre-subclassing Sorc was overpowered and needed nerfed, post-subclassing everyone and their uncle runs Storm Calling skill line. The class is still strong and arguably the overall nerf was needed (at least for PvP).
You should really preface those posts by "in PvP, ...'.
Because PvE exists, too, and sorc aren't really OP, there ..
