Re: More skill lines and weapons please!

So more skill lines for more weapons that will either not be used, or be OP in order to be used, all to perpetuate this fallacy that more somehow results in "build diversity" and "balance." When all it does is create a meta-meta because new has to be insanely powerful in ESO in order to make it worthwhile. Which is exactly what has happened with subclassing. As predicted by anyone who played ESO longer than 20 minutes.

This game has become laughable in the amount of options on paper players are offered versus actual, usable skills. Stop adding more and actually balance what is there. I don't need a crossbow or my player singing a silly song. I definitely don't need more power. Heck, I ran a VHRC pug this weekend where we got the trifecta without even trying.

Re: Killing Questers - I think I owe someone and apology

So, in a game open to the general public, some people are toxic. And guess what - they can be found participating in all aspects of the game. I've encountered them in dungeons and trials, at spellscar, in a public dungeon, in pvp... I've even encountered toxic players in the housing community. It's really not mind blowing news. With a large enough sample size, one will encounter such people anywhere and everywhere.

Making it into this fake "us vs. them" thing based on the parts of the game we prefer, as some always do, is ridiculous... and imo little more than a way to absolve ourselves of examining our own behavior and that of the communities we're part of.

Currency function not available on console?

I am working on an add-on for console that needs to access currency in the character's inventory and bank. I discovered that the following four function are to be used for this:

GetCarriedCurrencyAmount
GetBankedCurrencyAmount
DepositCurrencyIntoBank
WithdrawCurrencyFromBank

These functions work on PC, but as soon as I switch to console mode on PC or try it out on an actual console, I get a nil error message on these functions.

@ZOS_Kevin So I assume these are not available for console add-ons? Why not? Will these be added later? And is there a place where we can see which functions are not available on console?

Re: Currency function not available on console?

It's not so much that they're not available for console as it is that those functions are deprecated, even on PC. The only reason they work on PC is because we aliased them. But we're not bringing all of PC's aliased functions to console. These are the aliases on PC:

function GetCarriedCurrencyAmount(currencyType)
    return GetCurrencyAmount(currencyType, CURRENCY_LOCATION_CHARACTER)
end

function GetBankedCurrencyAmount(currencyType)
    return GetCurrencyAmount(currencyType, CURRENCY_LOCATION_BANK)
end

function DepositCurrencyIntoBank(currencyType, amount)
    TransferCurrency(currencyType, amount, CURRENCY_LOCATION_CHARACTER, CURRENCY_LOCATION_BANK)
end

function WithdrawCurrencyFromBank(currencyType, amount)
    TransferCurrency(currencyType, amount, CURRENCY_LOCATION_BANK, CURRENCY_LOCATION_CHARACTER)
end

You should switch to using the new syntax and move away from the deprecated syntax. You can find all the aliases in AddonCompatibilityAliases_PC.lua

Re: The Crown Store has reached critical levels of immersion breakage

It's a shame because I really liked the emote dances for that personality, but the idle animation is just so bad. No one would be like that all the time unless s/he was intoxicated. I didn't get it, because of the idle.

Let me repaste my most important point:

The different armor weights ought to be able to achieve a comparable level of overall defense and overall offense, through different means and at different resource costs.

Edit: also the Armor passives were revised more recently, remember when they added the Armor Penalties?

What do you mean by "different resource costs"? Then the one with the smallest resource cost with comparable damage comes out on top.

Med and Light have the Regen and Skill Cost modifiers, Windwalker and Evocation, Heavy has Constitution and Rejuvenation. Importantly, much like DK's passives Combustion and Battle Roar, Heavy's sustain only functions while in combat, whereas Medium and Light's function at all times, in fact they are stronger OUT of combat. This helps promote the Facetank vs Kite playstyle we would expect in Warrior vs Thief.

@PureeEvil Can you explain what you meant when you said Medium and Light's damage bonus doesnt work as well after 5k WD? How does Lights Pen and Crit Chance lose effectiveness with more WD after 5k?

I don't remember exactly at what value the increase in weapon power starts to give a smaller increase after 4000 or 5000. But yes, at some point, the increase in damage from weapon power becomes not 2.5% per 100 weapon power for example, but 1.5%.

So if I have 1000 WD and I add 500, I increased my WD by 50%. If I add an additional 500, I've increased it by only 33%. 500 after that, it's 25%. You mean like that?

something like that.

for example you get now nb lequdation, templar aedra, necro dd line or sorc stric or warden frost or pet line. when you in midle/light armor its work too hard. but when you get on havy armor you its compansate mising healing line and you can upt to 6500-7500 spd crit or % bufs from stuff.

Yeah, we have a post and article up for it. https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/681561/official-discussion-thread-for-experience-the-world-of-eso-for-free-during-quakecon-2025

That is a free play not free eso plus trial that the thread title mentioned. @ZOS_Kevin

regardless, as OP edited their original post there is indeed an ESO+ free trial right now, just claimed it from seeing this post.
