Just on PTS!! Anyways, I love Zos's sense of humor. The new elephant mount raises its trunk to breath while submerged in water!!! Love it!! Mount swim in the next patch, can't wait!!!

Recovery is only useful if you need it. It is quite simple, you can drop it and see how it goes. If anything you can run the alternative to Artaeum which is dubious comoran. It just doesnt have the health recovery, but who cares. Or drop everything for damage through raw max stats.


There is an efficiency aspect like how damage scales more with Weapon damage vs max stat. So say you drop regen through your food for max stat. Then you decide you need regen again, well it tends to always be better to drop max stam vs a Weapon damage line or 5 piece bonus.

You would rather:
Regen food+WD 5 piece
vs
Stam food+Regen 5 piece

Regarding outfit styles: I'd like more where the chest piece doesn't have those front flaps. There are a few that don't have them, but most of them have those front flaps.

Who uses Steam lol? The vast majority use the included launcher.

Almost nobody so the charts are mostly just good for trends that aren't likely to be platform specific.

However, the item selections are meant to give you the player tools to be creative and have fun. Sometimes player choice will lead to a dancing Molag Bal, as jarring as that can be. But between the Crown Store items, in-game items and in-game event items, there are plenty of choices to make a more grounded experience for yourself and for others if they so choose. Some may go down the route of Sheogorath for a more maddening experience, but they should have the option to do so as well.

We hear what you're saying, Kevin, but ZoS failing to curate their brand isn't a matter of "it is someone else's fantasy" isn't on the players, but an issue only ZoS can address.

If we look at older radiant apex mounts, or even legendary, they were not so over the top. Yes, there was definitely a measure of flashy, but as the person is rendering in and out of distance a world event wasn't happening.

Oftentimes people work best with parameters. To me, the more recent radiant apex mounts feel more like "design us something that will sell" instead of "design us something that belongs in Tamriel that will sell."

Most of us don't fault ZoS as a company needing to make money. But a year or two when it was bragged that ZoS had made 2 billion, and then what we experience in game is degraded quality on all fronts? That feels like something different.

Edits: Shortened Kevin's quote.

Hi all,

Wrong, they are intended for sale and profit; the more strange the item, the more attention it will attract, the more money it will bring. Profit, above all, and immersiveness and quality, it has always been and always will be. And even better when such items are also FOMO

Playing the game has become more and more difficult for me over the years, because of how the game has gone more and more extreme with FX effects left and right, sudden sounds, flashbang lights etc. Like why does a skin need to explode into existence? Why does a weapon need to make a bang and flash every time someone swap it? Why do mounts need to explode into existence with the power of a meteor? Why does every skill need to be laser beams and giant bright flashes?

For years I had no problem playing the game, but the latest years it has become more and more difficult because the game is simply causing me extreme discomfort, pain and nausea with all of this. It's not fun playing when something can happen at any time and regularly do that will cause me eye pain or headaches.

My brother cracked up so hard at dancing Molag Bal that he messaged me immediately about it. So, I hopped in to game and saw for myself. I thought it was a little funny but mostly because of how great he found it. To each his own.

I too am astonished at how persistent the carnival animations are proving to be. All I can think is that a significant part of the player base loves them and they're not the ones that would take the time to comment on the forums...

For me, the horse with the Swords just made me think of Hel Ra - it's not any weirder than that boss. I was dying to make a Hel Ra raid where everyone has to come on that horse...

I admit, I spend more than I'd like to admit on crown crates. The Carnivale crates were the ones I spent the MOST on. I absolutely loved everything in them. And I'm absolutely one of those flashy dancers with the goofy costume!! No shame!!

I hate that dancing side to side personality (not sure what it's called) more than any. I find any constant movement around my character extremely annoying.
