RIP Magicka Sorc.
What made them think that changing wards from 20 to 6 seconds was a good idea? anyone?

I wont suffer a bit, and I actually became stronger when slotting harness, and I already use negate liberally

mwa hahahahahaha

Actually some nice additions and finally you listened to the community on impen traits for the special pvp vendor. Some nice stuff like nameplates and VR rank removal, but aslong as the performance remains as it is, it's not worth much.

I do not see anything about the 64 bit client. Is it being fixed as far as audio issues are concerned?

We had a lot of changes go into PC v2.3.9, and additional fixes will be rolled out into live incremental patches (rather than putting them on the PTS first).

Alcast

Charge abilities, such as Focused Charge and Shield Charge, will now fire more reliably.

There's been a lot of changes for these types of abilities under the hood - please try them out once the patch is available, and let us know what you think about them now.

Takes-No-Prisoner

Suppression Field from way back when was a cool way to punish folks for balling up. Glad to see it's making a come back. These Fighters Guild changes though! \ /

There are some really great changes, but some changes I am very much against as of right now. Why is my DRAGONknight dealing poison damage instead of flame damage? -_-

Deceptive_Yoshi

Do you still lose 50% of your tel var if you fall to your death?

Oh.... Whelp maybe I am wrong but that change to wrecking blow just made Stam Sorc a lot worse in pvp, unless they provide another reliable melee range stun.

Or maybe you should go play nightblade if you were relying on wrecking blow to make stam sorc work...

◾Items can be manually retrieved from the Craft Bag in maximum stacks of 200. Retrieved items can also be manually stowed back into the Craft Bag

Heh, I have some 200+ stacks from the guild bank issue from way back. What will happen to them?

Dakrana_Thrazvoth

Core mechanics (sprint, dodge, block, CC break) will now be slightly more expensive.

I hope this change will be not in live server.


@ZOS_GinaBruno What percentage exactly you mean by more expensive please ?

ShalidorsHeir

why there is not a stam and a mana morph of the guilds ultimates???

Shadesofkin

I'm concerned about Harness being only 6 seconds long, that was a staple of my Maelstrom builds back bar and I'm not keen on having to swap constantly with so many times lag causing it to take longer than intended as it is.

Tarrin

Wow wow! Easy!

Physical based ultimates, stamina scaled bone shield with any type of damage.

etc etc.

Seen a lot of great improvements, though I'm kind of concerned about the changes to DK and NB where some of their abilities now do poison damage instead of fire or magic. How this will effect our DPS, I don't know.

Focused Healing:

Renamed this passive ability to Sacred Ground.
This passive ability has gained a new effect. In addition to providing the Minor Mending buff, it now also reduces the Movement Speed of enemies by 15/30% whenever they stand in your Cleansing Ritual, Rune Focus, or Rite of Passage area of effects.

So the Major Mending buff is changed into Minor? That's kinda disappointing...

You all should be embarrassed.

I am actually fine with the WB change, it was needed, but I was kinda hoping there would be some in class effect added to fill the gap (either a stun or an empower).

Vidahr

Added an option to display resource numbers on the player and target frame.
Added an option to display the Ultimate number on the Ultimate ability frame.

Goodbye add-on!

bitaken

Well, I don't see anything about lowering the magicka cost of Hardened Ward.

While I am not happy about this change - I think you should reconsider going to 10 seconds and halving the magicka cost of the shield. Do you guys not want people on the Non CP campaign?

ElderBugOffline

@ZOS_GinaBruno please tell us what about weekly rewards for Sanctum? other trials, Veteran DSA?
it will still reward you with only MoL items?

Seems only the Stam Morphs really got changed. So, as a Magikca DK I don't expect much change at all.

Dorrow

AMAZING!

GreatWhite000

Harness magicka and hardened ward only last 6 seconds now? That really, really, REALLY sucks. Gonna be applying shields 10 times a minute now, and they probably cost too much at this point to even be worth using. Also sad to see that stam sorcs yet again have yet to see any improvements (that other lightning form morph is still a joke).

Oh woah. I didn't see a note saying it was changing to minor... but yeah.

Does Hagebutte get 5 gold?

@ZOS_GinaBruno

This one found something odd in the werewolf notes.

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.

Currently there is no cost to stay in form as it's done a timer, and that time is increased by various means. So is this note incorrect or has there been a major revision of how the ultimate works?

Finally, after a year of cringing whenever I try on new armor or costumes, my Argonian characters will stop looking derpy with their helmets covering their eyes! Bring on the bugs, this day cannot come soon enough!

Cazic

Why are DK abilities being changed from fire to poison damage?

DUTCH_REAPER

Sniff, why do that to nirn on weapons???
