I haven't used the set basically since it released but if you could remind me what's wrong with it I would be much obliged!
The 4% more damage against chilled enemies doesn't work

Oof, that's a ridonkulous oversight!
Been that way for a while, and I'm pretty sure I myself have now made more than one posts about it.
Re: Extremely Low Midyear Mayhem Turnout, Why?
The last MYM event had a Golden Pursuit that had everyone piling into PvP. This tiime around, unless you're regularly into PvP, there's not much incentive to entice anyone else to do much more than get the event tickets and get out.
Myself personally I'm just in no mood to burn resources to outfit any new PvP builds until after U47, simply because I have no desire to waste those resources on a build that will likely last all of a couple months.

Re: More on the Microsoft lay offs, it's grim.
Msoft thought gaming and streaming was the next big thing and the growth after covid didnt materialize yet the way they thought and now they think ai is the next big thing and shift resources towards that...

"When you cast a Dark Magic skill, grant Minor Prophecy to you and your allies for 20s. Additionally, you gain 10% Max Stamina or Max Magicka for 20s based on whichever max resource is higher."
Hell, if it was on Exploitation, I'd still consider 10s instead of 20s a win. This cast a Dark Magic skill at full health nonsense in combination with a low duration is the problem. Either do 20s at full health or 10s at any health if Exploitation is somehow too OP in their twisted view.
I'm not sure why they force a triple conditional bonus when you have passives from Arcanist give 284 ws damage for 10s, just for recovering stamina or magicka, when that passively happens every 2s due to mag and Stam recovery lol. A bonus which is arguably much stronger for most builds and requires 0 effort.
Honestly why is it even a duration at all? If you think about it, there could potentially be some overlap situations where you can get both buffs at the same time and I don't think that was the intention. This would mostly only happen to tanks or PvP builds where you're not stacking high resources so they're close, but imagine you have a set bonus on your front bar with Magicka, so your Stamina is higher on back bar. Cast a Dark Magic skill on back bar, get the 10%, go to front, get the 10% when your Magicka set kicks in. Why even produce a situation where this can happen?
I mean it's going form a passive benefit from having a skill slotted on either bar to being a proc condition with stupid conditions. There's really no reason for it not to be a static value or at the very least something very easy like cast a dark magic skill every 10s.
Re: Account restricted but no idea why
[Any news on this please @zos_kevin
I’ve had no acknowledgment of my ticket let alone I don’t know how long this ban is for?
I’m happy to change the name to something else but if I’ m banned for an unspecified time I can’t do that?
What was the name?
Ressurectile dysfunction
Which I didn’t think was too bad…. But their AI obviously does
I don't believe its Ai but rather someone in game reporting it, forcing CS to act. Or atleast that was the vibe I got from them when I had a forced name change for "Strokes the Staff" that was a several year old name when it occured....

Re: PTS Update 47 - Feedback Thread for Naj-Caldeesh Dungeon
I've completed this dungeon three times with three different groups, twice during PTS 1 and once during PTS 2.
I don't really have much to say about this dungeon. It's a perfectly cromulent dungeon, with fun side areas, and we enjoyed going through it.
It's this DLC's Exiled Redoubt, but I think it's fine to have an easier dungeon so that the DLC can cater to a wider range of players rather than have both be amped up to Black Gem levels.
A few specific things that we noticed during the PTS 2 run:

A few specific things that we noticed during the PTS 2 run:
- During PTS 2, we noticed that we could open the drawbridge without having two people on the plates at the same time. I'm not sure if this is an intended change that missed the notes or if this was a bug.
- During PTS 2, the final boss encounter got stuck. Talen-Lah had left and Bar-Sakka, instead of joining the fight, just kept rolling around the side indefinitely. We had to wipe to reset this encounter. This problem did not occur on the next pull. I'll try to post a video of it later.
- During PTS 2, the final phase of the final boss encounter, where we fight Talen-Lah while Bar-Sakka is in the fight arena but immune, happened with over 6M health remaining on Bar-Sakka, whereas during PTS 1, Bar-Sakka was almost dead. We're not sure if this is intended or if it's a bug.
Re: Update 47 and Frost Damage Builds
It would also be nice if they could finally fix the Frostbite set. It's been broken for ages and has been pointed out pretty much every PTS patch for several years and we've yet to hear any communication on it.
Re: PTS Update 47 - Feedback Thread for Naj-Caldeesh Dungeon
Actually came in here to see what others said about doing those achievements... @code65536 since you've done both, can I ask what you thought?
The optional side content can be completed on normal. For Black Gem Foundry, these are pretty straightforward find-the-secret-and-beat-up-the-guy-inside type things.
For Naj Caldeesh, they are... different. In a good and entertaining way.
For Naj Caldeesh, you will need 4 players to complete the side content. It's fun, and I think people will enjoy it, but you will need 4 like-minded people who don't mind taking the time to, um, fully experience what these detours have to offer.
Re: Accounts banned from guild question
Naming and shaming in zone chat is already against the TOS.
Slander is already against the TOS. If someone is going around spreading false rumors about you, report them and present your evidence.
These two things are harassment and against the TOS. Report that person and block them.
A person telling their friends and guild mates about a true negative experience that they had with you is neither of those things. It is them telling their own story. Truth is an ultimate defense against defamation in real life. Victims don't have to be silent.
Not guilty until proven innocent is about courts of law and stripping away rights. It is not about silencing victims from speaking to their own support networks about what happened to them.
A person putting you on their block list or a guild block list is exercising their right to freedom of association. Even if they do so for untrue reasons that only exist in their head, they have a right to choose who they want to associate with. Just move on with your life and associate with someone else.

Re: Zerith-Var impossible to get collectible
I recently finished Zerith-var's favor on 7/9/2025 for achievement with beggar being the last one needed. I originally earned Give to the Poor on 12/29/2015 and I did both on the character who earned the original achievement. The beggars will still spawn after you have the achievement, but it may take some waiting and I had to wait until after Zenithar's event ended because the Zenithar encounters share a spawn with them. I'm on PC NA, can't speak for other platforms.
