the boots of blinding speed remember these? there was no problem with it in elderscrolls, it' is part of lore and has no harm or effect in pve nor pvp to hurt any one. it just makes my game play a WHOLE lot more fun.

    yea everyone does that that doesn't play a khajiit or argonian.

    It would be ridiculous in this game. Especially since the long stretches of land aren't long enough for that speed imo.

    but what we had with the speed stacking was almost perfection and as close to those boots as i can see, i had nothing but pure fun and a great time wearing those boots and eso with that stacked speed was an exact fit for me as close to wearing those boots as i could get, made me feel as if i was almost in morrowind.
    with the removal of that speed im addicted to and not even skooma to replace the existing speeds then i am basicly in depresion state and morrowicamotoast.

    I know. We are all still struggling with our grief over this.

    I am moving towards the acceptance stage at this point though.

    We're not getting it back. ZOS has no intention of listening to player feedback on this or really any other issue, unless it's to nerf things I guess. I'm a bit confused as to why they listened to the small portion of the playerbase whining to begin with.

    But they've lied about the whole thing several times already, and just generally stomped all over integrity in the process. I'd struggle to believe it if they said they were changing it at this point.

    Okay maybe I'm still at the anger stage.

    How about when you could create items so you could levitate, I remember I use to fly over mountains and I use to blast enemies from the air.

    yea levitate is definitely never happening. Things get weird when you bring the Z axis into the mix, and this game wasn't built for it.

    Which is unfortunate. I would settle for submerged areas tho.

    FYI - There is no such thing as 'night capping' in a world wide MMO.
    FYI - There was no paid Beta. When they launched the game the Beta was over, even if you don't think it was.
    FYI - It's B2P not F2P. There is a difference.
    FYI - It doesn't take any player skill to mash keys or buttons in this game. The ones that stay alive longer have the better internet connection and speed.
    FYI - The game is not broken, it still works. It just has 'bugs' that need to be fixed.
    Balance is a "Bad" thing.

    Example: There were hundreds of Jedi and only two Sith in Star Wars. The Jedi wanted, "Balance in the Force" and they got it. Now there are only two Jedi and two Sith.

    Balance is a "Bad" thing.

    Single player games have no repercussions against an other actual LIVE person. Online games DO have this. In the single player game it didn't matter if you took the long way around to final game and were so powerful a stroke of your hedge trimmer killed all and sundry. This game has other players, and most other players take a dim view of OP when it's applied, unless they are the ones who HAVE said OP. Regardless of how it is achieved, balance is a requirement in an online game so ALL may enjoy it.

    If you don't have to TRY to win, you aren't achieving anything. Same goes for gods. Miracles are easy for them and bring no glory, deeds by mortals DO.
    Therefore, in the interest of not being munchkin and godlike in power in an online game that requires other players for you to play with, try to look at it from that point of view.

    please explain how having high speeds "Outside" of combat have any "Over Poweredness"
    mingled with and in addition to and allowing and insisting that pvp skills like "Bolt Escape", and Most of the Dargonight" skills and the bitting and sweeping jabs are NOT considered "Over powered"
    im listening, please share this with the class :)

    It's not sneaking when you are moving almost at a running pace, and though it may be personal opinion, I reserve my right to have it, and I can handle people disagreeing, although to date the only defense is it's magic and/or it's a game.

    Game though it is, I do not believe a racial enhancement should stack with physical set bonuses unless they state clearly they should, like critical bonuses or damage bonuses. Anymore than someone should be able to spam Bolt Escape and achieve the same thing. It's like thinking a vampire can feed using a sword. Clearly they are using fangs, and weapons would have no effect on their ability to feed, except perhaps to make it very messy and lose most of the benefit.

    And all things in the game are subject to discussion regarding their being OP, whether combat related or not. OP is not strictly speaking combat only power. I refer to the entirety of the class(es). Just because it's not clearly a combat related power does not mean it has no uses that can effect combat.

    those speeds had no effect in combat whatso-ever, the instant we lost stealth we loose that speed bonus. it had nothing overpowered about it at all.

    OMG, drama much?

    It's like talking to a two year old. Stamp your foot too?

    I for one do not like the idea of a bunch of vamps using high speed stealth to zerg into combat. Or out of it if they can manage to turn invis and pop the sneak. Balance dictates that other players must also have the option to achieve the same effect even if not a vamp, or something that can counter that to prevent it. The reason there are so many damn vamps in PvP is purely DUE to such imbalances, whether you can accept it as defined as OP or not.

    You're fooling yourself if you think that other classes should be able to move as quickly as a vampire can. There are differences among the classes for a reason. Also don't just be another complainer that lacks the imagination to be able to figure out how to get around such a small thing. And for the record, my kind already suffer enough from this abundant fire abuse you mortals use to combat us. Don't call for a nerf because we have the natural balance and speed to allow us the chance to avoid such a mundane offense.

    You arrive at the next battle, having been stealthed the entire way...everyone else required to mount a non-stealthed horse?

    I can see where there would be no difference between these two things.

    And as far as Morrowind was concerned, all you had to do was cast a Dispel Magic. The blindness would go away, the speed boost would stay.

    There are also the PvE imbalances that that kind of speed can produce. Such as resource harvesting in complete (relatively) safety faster than I can sprint between resources.

    You want to travel relatively safely, quickly, and heck, even do damage? just cast bolt escape in that case. problem solved.

    You want to play a rogue, but find you cannot move to target fast enough after the NS nerf? Reroll a sorc and just cast bolt escape in that case. problem solved.

    You want to be op in PvP, and don't like rogues effectively sneaking up on you? Want to nerf that playstyle? Give vamps a bad name, and just cast bolt escape in that case. problem solved.

    That works well for a Sorc, but how about the other 3 classes. I have to agree with @Aett_Thorn on this one. Have you actually been harvesting in Upper Craglorn for the new resource since the patch? It has become a race for the nodes and is already causing arguments and conflict. Having someone with super-speed, whether it comes from boots or from being a Vampire and stacking multiple bonuses would just worsen the issue. So, yes, there is a PvE issue with super speed and this is just one example.

    it was both uncalled for and never a problem to anyone, my comment refering to bolt escape meant that other classes CAN use speed but we cannot. (as nightblades)

    So only sorcs should be effective harvesters? They gather everything while everyone else gets the shaft instead of being competative? And Akatosh forbid he is using boundless storm too...
