Improved the run animations for player werewolves.

I have looked at the different animations for running, walking, sprinting, and I don't really see a difference at all? Can anyone actually see a big difference?

Alexium · March 2016

Can't see any difference.

P.S. I agree with topic starter. Black fur for berserkers and no more Sanies Lupinus for us!

Elektrakosh · March 2016

I wish the 30 second transformation applied to the NPCs in game. I feel that the player has been cheated in that regard.

Transformation time is longer with each rank achieved. 2 minutes max with need to feed timer refilling for one minute perhaps. That may make boss battles a little more interesting rather than transforming half way through then possibly getting your ass kicked. It is an expensive ultimate so make it ultimate.

Or

Toggle transformation that would be the best option. No more stress and actually enjoy your beast form, no need to dance around a corpse to find the feed prompt and fill the timer.
Heavy attacks take too long to execute and look daft. They need stalk/sneak crawl animation.

I will make a follow-up thread regarding suggestions of my own with WW & Vampires but I won't hijack your thread OP since I have completely different points to add, keep your eye open in the coming weeks

I am just going to let all the bug threads calm down...

With the right build werewolves are so strong.

In certain situations they're bordering op. My stamplar ww is an absolute beast. Near on 20k howl of agony. Pretty good on my stam Sorc too. Surge and boundless storm up, go ww, stupidly hard to kill. Plus it's only 255 cost.

2 piece kena on ww is insane also. Annihilates people

Fischblut · March 2016

I have few suggestions in other thread, but here is the most important one: Timer should be removed at all. Even if nothing else changes in WW skill line, I don't see any better future for werewolves than being able to play without timer

I also support adding ability to sneak, more emotions and black Berserker. No timer + these simple things = so much fun

And some people don't mind that. I personally feel ww could be more than a dull dps buff, used primarily for howl spam. Way back when they put the ww changes on pts I felt that being one could be a character defining trait, make things interesting. Instead we now have a dps buff, a strong one but it is so boring.

A slight difference. I'm not sure. I was running around the other day and something looked off, but I couldn't figure out what it was. Now, I wonder if it was the run animation.

Yeah I think I might have noticed the smallest thing, perhaps that it might be slightly smoother when you run side to side or strafing. Still nearly impossible to be sure though.

W0lf_z13 · March 2016

def some great ideas here... I too would love for the berzerker to be black ( hopefully the devs will change that ) . Just got ww on my lvl 20 stam sorc last night... and will be going berzerker once able to

BossXV · March 2016

My thoughts exactly

mr1sho · March 2016

LOL ... thats why I go Lightning form before wolfing out.... kills fleas, ticks and other annoying pests that try to make me their home.....

Very interesting things being added to werewolf on the PTS in the latest patch!

Werewolf
Call of the Pack: Redesigned this passive ability so it now reduces the cost of staying in Werewolf form by 10/20% for each transformed Werewolf in your group, including yourself, up to a maximum of 40/80% at Ranks I/II.

Pack Leader (Werewolf Transformation morph): Redesigned this morph so it now summons 2 dire wolf companions to fight by your side for the duration of your transformation. If killed, the dire wolves will return after 16/14/12/10 seconds at Ranks I/II/III/IV respectively.

Pretty excited about the change to Pack Leader. Summoning Dire Wolves? This is going to be extremely interesting!
Call of the Pack will be fun to try out, definitely increases the benefits of fighting in a real pack.

These changes seem pretty good from these descriptions, although still would love to see Berserker have the black fur option

Now berserker just seems so boring. It doesn't look any different, it doesn't play any different, and if you don't have damage numbers on you don't see any change. The pack leader looks different and has this cool and interesting ability, I don't think i'll bother with the now boring berserker. I hope they have some QoL plans for it.

mrkurokishi · April 2016

Besides them adding Black Fur to the Berserker(which I hope they do) it dont think there needs to be any other changes. With the 40% additional damage to the bleed dot it does with light attacks and the changes to the Champion Tree(Thaumaturge) its good as is.

Svalinn · April 2016

my suggestino about warewolves would be simple:

. put silver weapons into the game like in other ES games
- make the warewolves weak to silver like in..... every other place werewolves exists instead of the way the work now in ESO

:P

W0lf_z13 · April 2016

ended up going berserker with my stam orc sorc... but i think ill go pack leader with my stam nb .... the change in the upcoming ult sounds really cool

swirve · April 2016

Shave the mangy pooches...that would improve them...

mrkurokishi · April 2016

@W0lf_z13 Have you tried the Pack Leader morph on the PTS? If so, do the Dire Wolves deal a noticeable amount of damage?

W0lf_z13 · April 2016

I have not yet ( dont have PTS... was thinking of getting it to do some testing though )

In case you don't know yet: Pack Leader morph is currently terrible. The dire wolves are basically there to take aggro off of yourself. The benefits of that are debatable.

Thevampirenight · May 2016

Werewolves, need two things, eye color change, maybe if you have werewolf form sloted and its full your eyes turn more wolf like.
Weakness to Silver in both mortal form, and werewolf form.
I would like to see Silver weapons being added, with special enchantments, that work on werecreatures and basically bypass magical and normal damage resistance.
They can add silver swords axes bows and other things as well. These could be made with the enchantment inside of them. As well as silver armor that allows you to take less damage from werewolves and vampires.

Glaiceana · May 2016

Very exciting update! After 100s of thread and requests, we have finally got an official response about having black fur for the Berserker morph!!

Hey guys! Just want to let you all know that we've seen this feedback, and are working to implement the black fur on Berserker in a future patch.

Found in this thread here: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/2985195

This is extremely exciting news!

JimT722 · May 2016

Wow it's finally going to happen. This is great news. Really the only complaint I have about berserker.

W0lf_z13 · May 2016

HELL YEAH!!! black fur!!!

JLAMAR22 · May 2016

Hell yes!!!! Only took em 2 years to fix the black fur change lol

InvitationNotFound · May 2016

oh yeah, and while we're at it... are there different genders for werewolves? I mean if i play a female char I want to become a female werewolf. This is really important for my rp experience in eso! [snip]

I've actually talked about this before

I also would like a more feminine model for werewolf form if playing a female character. They don't have to have massive boobs or anything like that, but they could have a hint of shape through the fur. It would be nice if they just have a more feminine frame, eg less broad shoulders etc.
