Did your ability to play and/or complete certain types of game content improve after the launch of Update 46?
No. I’m one of those that dropped my sub and left because of U46.
If so, prior to the launch of Update 46, what was your character build?
I was a Nightblade, I was a DK, I was a Warden, and so on. I played classes in end game content (PvE and PvP) for a decade.

Classes were removed with U46. Many of us, as part of this roleplaying game, liked playing the characters we had been working on for 10 years, over thousands of hours…That's gone, if you care about not getting rolled in PvP or if you are just a competitive person in general, as many end gamers are. Also, now it’s just one or two “classes”, the replayability was hurt with U46. I enjoyed swapping to a new class for a while, it kept things fresh…not available anymore.

Subclass you butt off ZOS, just do it in a way that doesn't necessitate changing how many have played the game for 10 years, please.

I too. I have never been a fan of subclassing, and all I could see it doing was ruining my favorite classes with nerfs. So I left, haven't booted into the game since a week before zero day, and have now uninstalled.

I do hope that those who are enjoying the new playing field will continue to be happy.

I stand no chance in hell in Imperial City now with how much cc I'm being bombarded with. My stamina gets eaten up instantly while I don't have any defence at all. The heal with Hardened Ward made it POSSIBLE TO SURVIVE!!

Everything in this game crows controls you. It's also so much fun to get hit with 10 debuffs...and killed by 5 different skills hitting at once...

That's a fair question. We'll follow up with our web team to see if there is a reason it isn't there, or if it was just left off for some reason.

I assume it's part of a licensing agreement - all the platforms listed will have either required ZOS to list them or paid them (or given more favourable terms) if they did. Steam didn't so they're not included.

The PC icon might be an exception to that since I'm not sure who would licence that. I don't think it's Windows specific.

It's the Q4 morph of the Stonewisp of Truth and Law pet. Buy the pet with event tickets (five for each of the three fragments) and the five pieces of the morph will be available during Q4 events. Two should be available during Witches Festival, a third during whatever event is on tap for November, and the last two during New Life in December. Morph fragments will be 10 tickets each.

Craglorn doesn't require a group.

Some quests there can't be done solo.

Which, apart from the trials?

Quests that require standing on plates, activating levers together...

You can do them solo now. No need to activate plates at the same exact time. I've done the entire questline 100% solo.

Tbh the notion of AI as something that will be used to replace human labour isn't just dubious, it is also shallow. I already see startups popping up that offer such AI powered solutions without realizing the entire process they are trying to optimize could become redundant. It's like if I can use AI to write a weather report, I can fire the person writing the weather report. Superficially true. Except the fact that if an AI can write the report that means the added value of a written report has become 0. If the consumer has control over an AI agent, they'll only be interested in consuming the raw data, not the way it is presented. AI could be a very democratizing tool in that sense. I think the large tech corporations actually fear it because of this potential for fatal disruption of producer-consumer relations. They'll want to get ahead of the game and shape the AI society by ensuring their solutions are the ones that get widely adopted. It's the only way they'll be able to stay ahead of the curve.

Hi all, if you are having issues in MYM, could you note where you are playing from and add any footage you may have? We escalated this internally, but our graphs are not showing any issue with server health. It is all within margin. So any additional data you can provide, would be helpful. We can send that over to the team to assist in investigating this issue.

I've played IC for the first time today because of Whitestrake's mayhem. I can call my experience in one word — anxiety.

I'm a solo player, I'm on a base game, I'm here for the story, quests, loot, exploration, etc.

The moment I got killed by another player was very frustrating. Just...why? Why would anyone want to kill me for no reason? I don't get it. I don't want to kill other players, I just want to mind my own business. I want to explore ruined Imperial City, I want to experience this great city under Molag Bal's occupation.

The second part of frustration that quckly transformed into stress and anxiety was losing a bunch of tel var stones. Maybe I missed something but no one told me I will lose them. I had around 7k on me that I've earned on battlegrounds and I've lost around 3k in a single death. Now I'm always anxious about losing tel vars and putting them into the bank before going outside. Who thought this would be fun? It's not.

I'm glad there is a no-CP mode, it's a bit less stressful, but I want solo/PvE mode. I just want to enjoy my game without this PvP stress and nonsense.

Honestly, first time I went into IC I was in PvE gear, clueless and obliterated in seconds. It absolutely wasn't fun, but being new in PvP places is generally a harsh and unfriendly experience. Some players leave and never return, others like myself are crazy and will lick our wounds and try to learn how to survive in IC.

Firstly, it's a battle area where players are fighting for control of all the areas on the map. So regardless of what you're doing, if an enemy player sees you, it's fair to presume they'll attack/kill you if possible. They aren't killing you for no reason, they have a reason If you can, join a random group because often they'll be running round the different areas doing the quests and killing bosses. Not just looking for PvP. Or you can follow a group of your alliance if you see them.

I go up and down the ladders taking all the quests then try and complete them as I go from area to area depending on how safe it is or where my group goes. Then just hand in one quest each day so you get the event tickets etc without having to do a lot of PvP each day.

Try and have gear/skills that are good for surviving and keep yourself buffed and with HOTs active. If you have skills like echoing vigor or group heals, you'll be a bit harder to kill and often welcome in teams. CP in hiding/sneaky things and potions also help. If you really want to just solo it, I'd suggest strong heal and sneaking. If you do get chased, try to head towards your fellow alliance players rather than somewhere isolated like behind a building. It's funny having someone attack and introducing them to four of your team mates

Also, be aware of all the buildings and terrain in IC, and remember players have to see you to hit you. So if you just get a glance of an enemy approaching, try and get into a building/behind a wall. I have played some truly hilarious games of hide and seek with enemies. Stood with my heart racing on one side of a wall as a whole group of 12 runs past the other side. Going up into weird bits of buildings and hiding is a totally legit tactic if you see an enemy raid approach. IC parkour is so much fun when you're sidling along narrow ledges and the like.

You've learned the hard way about losing tel var, but honestly I don't know anyone who hasn't done the same thing! Always bank your tel var before you enter IC and try to keep an eye so you don't carry more than you're comfortable losing. But we all lose tel var routinely even when we know. Just getting carried away in the fight and then someone surprise kills you! Fortunately you only lose half, so that's a good time to bank what you have left. My mindset is that if I banked everything at the start, I'm always coming home with more than I began with. I don't consider the tel var to be "mine" until it's banked.

If you have just lost tel var and banked the rest, you have nothing to lose and it's worth following a group of your alliance and attacking enemies when they're clearly going to die. This is how you can quickly recoup any tel var losses, because PvPers can go from killing a lot of players and then die before they bank the tel var. I remember the first time I killed a PvPer who nuked me a few times earlier. I lost maybe 2k to him, he then lost 8k tel var when I got him. I truly suck at PvP, but that was funny and satisfying.
