Slaughterfish are designed to block areas. This is not an open world; it's compartmentalized by zones. And the point of slaughterfish is to prevent players from going out of bounds.

If they allowed players to swin through slaughterfish, you'd get invisible walls instead. Not to mention that the slaughterfish in Cyrodiil are specifically there to funnel players to the bridges like how the terrain along the milegates will concentrate fights there. It's a design choice.

I still think it's a pity that we can't go from northern Malabal Tor to Gold Coast considering how little the distance between these two is !.....a bridge, maybe ?

That is an good idea, kind of like the bridge between Stormhaven and Bankorai, they added an gate between Grathwood and Northern Elsweir. It's a tunnel from Grathwood to Reaper March, remember trying it then the game was new and still had leveled zones, I ran back very fast after seeing level 40 enemies as below 20

Do people not know about the Patch Notes Section of the Forums? Patch Notes seem to have been posted at 5 AM this morning, an hour before this post was made.

https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/681998/pc-mac-patch-notes-v11-1-5-update-47#latest

That was when the post was first created on the forum. It wasn't made visible to us until well after this thread was made.
Gina did it the same way when she compiled the patch notes.

At this point it is everyone's skill, not just NB skill. Clearly ZOS is making those changes this with sub-classing in mind. So right now it Assassination that is meta pick for every build - but it won't last forever as they will for sure change stuff around in the future so that people would have to re-grind everything again, over & over.

I think that real issue is that sub-classing system allows to pick 3x DPS or 3 x Tank skill tree from 3 different classes. Something like this should not be possible.

Yeah, we release the patch notes based on our teams when they are going through checks during maintenance. It would be bad form to give you notes and then have something go wrong during maintenance.

On PC you can use https://esoui.com/downloads/info1001-VotansAchievementsOverview.html

Not only does it give a list of your recent completed and partially completed achievements but also has a Favourites (pin) function.

Why release a known bugged product? Why not simply delay? Wasn't that the point of the new "Seasons"?

Did anyone run the math on relentless focus? Have you not read the handful plus of duplicate threads on the PTS during testing?

The reason people choose Assassination so much especially in pvp is not because of the WD bonus.

However, the passive WD bonus is precisely the reason it was mandatory in PvE. This is definitely addressing a PvE issue.

Right, but the skill is so far overtuned that it could be removed entirely and have the tooltip cut down while still being a clear choice over something like crystal frags. Not saying I want frags buffed by any degree, but everyone in pvp has been complaining for multiple patches now about how overtuned assassin is.

Merciless
- 2.1476 damage/wd
- Every 5s
- Major Crit Chance
- 1890 mag cost
- 6.6% chance to flanking enemies
- 2k resource restore on kills
- 2.5% crit chance for slotting
- 10% unique stacking crit damage
- Minor crit chance

Crystal Frags
- 1.1226 damage/wd with 66% boost.......which is either 1.7826 or 1.8635 however zos did their math additive or multi
- Every 3-4s gambling
- no major buff
- ~1300 mag cost
- Reduce skill costs by 6%
- 3680 heal (1840 in pvp)
- Blocking an attack gives 18% skill cost reduction (not even really at play here since it has its own cost/use case)
- minor crit chance

Frags is just substantially less damage, and now adays with power creep the reduced skill costs dont mean much since most people get their sustain solely from tripots and bear haunch without needing more.
