Re: Does Streak Need Adjustment?
BXR_Lonestar wrote: »It needs an adjustment, but none of your poll options fit what I'm about to suggest, so I'm just going to say it:
Streak morphs need to be broken down into "offensive morph" and "defensive morph."
For offensive morph, streak should have its current AOE stun, but the streak should be over a relatively short distance (5 meters). This way, you can use it as an opener to your attack, but it has very little utility as a "get away" ability because 5 meters is a very short distance and by the time someone breaks free, they can gapclose or make up that distance with some effort.
For the defensive morph - this is basically the skill you will want to use when you need to bail on an engagement and get away. THIS streak morph will have a long distance dash (what it is currently, IDK what it is, maybe 20m?) but with no stun. This way it really has no offensive utility other than getting TO the fight faster or getting away from the fight faster, but it has no crowd control element to it.
The premises here is that you need to make a choice whether the STUN is the most important facet of streak or if it is the get away ability that is more important. But neither will be particularly great for both applications. IMO, this would be the best way to balance it.
The main problem I see with this suggestion is that Streak is built to be flexible; it’s the only way that it’s competitive as a utility in PvP.
If you take any of Streaks factors away it’s just too weak to be feasible.
A “defensive” streak is essentially a watered down Vampire Mist Form, just worse since it would have no immunity.
An “offensive” streak would also be sub par since mele range is 7m so opponents would effectively be able to strike from outside the range the user could stun.
The only way Streak makes sense as an escape mechanic is because of the stun, since the range plus the animation elements wouldn’t be enough to see someone actually get away from opponents; especially ones running any of the abilities that grant Expedition.
Remember, Streak has counter play drawbacks too; the Immobility pots, the ability to evade the stun via movement speed, the ability to intercept the Streak with an AoE stun or ability. And, the follow up to combo attacks is the worst with streak than other CC abilities.
It makes no sense to change Streak, it’ll be non-competitive in any PvP venue.

Re: Overland Content Feedback Thread
Here's a reminder of the most recent statements on this matter.
December 2024 Studio Director letter for the general plan for 2025
https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/670691/studio-director-s-letter-2025-beyond/p1
December 2024 statement from Kevin elaborating that we'd know more in 2025 about harder overland.
April 2025 statements about it still being planned to come out for this year's content pass timeline and why.
And finally someone kindly linked where Rich they said they know some people already struggle so the plan is to make it optional during that April direct stream. So this is the part in the April 2025 Direct Livestream on Twitch where they said that.

So we should note that we haven't announced what overland changes are yet. We'll have more information to share next year. We wanted to just note that there will be changes to overland difficulty generally. What form that takes will be shared next year.
April 2025 statements about it still being planned to come out for this year's content pass timeline and why.
As of right now, the goal is to still have this out during the content pass timeline. But if that changes, we will update once we have a clear picture if anything changes.
Totally get it. Understand where you are coming from. Just want to clarify here that we have a team dedicated to overland, so it is getting the focus and time needed. This is an important feature and we want to make sure this is done correctly. So there is a team dedicated to this. Some of the features that you are seeing today have been in the works for a bit. So that is why you are seeing them today. We hope to have more info in the future to share about overland.

I was gonna toss this in the other thread that just got nuked, didn't think to do it back on the day of the streams lol, but here's a link to where they touch on the harder Overland difficulty if anyone who hasn't seen the stream wants to hear/see for themselves:

Re: When will heave attack bug of heal stave be cured?
It's possibly the same bug that stops DDs using single target skills and tanks taunting enemies and stops you using blade of woe (there's probably more).
Going through a door/portal/wayshrine can sometimes stop you being able to target an enemy. It can fix itself when you go through the next door or need a relog and it's incredibly annoying, lost me a couple of lives on last boss in VVH as I couldn't use my spammable, and cost us time when tanks couldn't taunt in VMoL.
My second account ran through the DB questline last week and it was a coin toss as to whether BoW was available to him at any given time. He's also a vampire and feed wasn't an option either so I know it's a targeting problem, pickpocketing is unaffected for some reason.

Re: Time-consuming Daily Endeavours
If I consider it too boring and time consuming I don't do it, I just skip it.
This is a game, not my 2nd job.

If the endeavors will take me more than 15 minutes, I'll usually skip them.

[snip] Keep to the topic rather than needing to leave negativity over a common complaint. This has been an issue for years. [snip] They don't understand what a Necromancer is, they mixed up the classes
I'm not. My point is, just because other games have necro's with pets does not mean in ANY way that EVERY GAME needs necro's to have pets.
ESO has established their characters over the last 10-12 years and they have done an amazing job.
I personally do not feel we need to make ESO like other games by copying their characters. I appreciate that ESo took thei own path.
If you feel that is trolling I am sorry but I have a different opinion and prefer ESO stay on their current path.

Re: Werewolf Should be Allowed to Sneak
Rather than create a new thread, I'd like to add on to this existing thread with an expansion of this idea:
Erickson9610 wrote: »I feel that the Werewolf passives would need a minor adjustment in the event that Werewolf is allowed to sneak, namely:
- The Pursuit passive should have a condition where the cost of remaining transformed is reduced while sneaking, and further reduced while sneaking and not moving. This allows Werewolf to pursue their prey while not being as pressured by their timer, although it doesn't completely remove the timer.
- The Devour passive should continue to allow you to devour slain bodies, but it should also allow you to "assassinate" a target from stealth (like the Blade of Woe or Vampire's Feed passive) to pin the target down and devour them, restoring transformation time and health to you. This would look awesome and I'd use this feature all the time.
These two changes would allow Werewolf to comfortably participate in stealthy content (like Heists and Sacraments) while remaining consistent with the roleplay fantasy of being a better hunter in that form.
