17 monster masks, we can only hope 1 is good for tanking

Can't wait for the unofficial guide for "fair dueling".

Can't wait for all the "Nerf x because y" threads that will surface with this dueling.

Balance will be a nightmare once and if ZOS tries to balance around 1v1.

Well it sure beats raising the gear cap to 180 and losing ALL the gear I've grinded for/crafted so far. IF they ever do up the armor cap to 180, I sure hope they'd just auto update all our 160 gear to 180. Otherwise you'd see probably 95% of the playerbase quit.

So a lot of new monster helms and shoulders making it even harder to complete a set, scaling of all zones whether we want them scaled or not, and real money gambling.

Explain to me again why I should want to keep this game on my harddrive?

100% drop rate on monster headpieces, shoulders divided into chests with different groups of dungeons per chest, so you're not dipping into the full RNG pool for your shoulder.

They said that? We don't just get a gold key for a single gold chest like now?

That's the least of my concerns though. It's the scaling and gambling that has me pissed.

I hope they thought ahead for once and there'll be an auto decline option for duels.

You just know what will happen otherwise: Hordes of morons spamming you with duel invites while standing at the bank, pledge npcs, etc.

is there a limit on the ignore function?

They did. They're reworking how the entire pledge system works.

As for scaling, I love the idea. I'm speaking from the perspective of someone who's way past the CP cap with 7 max-level characters. There are entire zones that I have never done on any character because, during the leveling process, if I do every quest in a zone, I'll be overleveled so quickly. The current system where you get nothing--no XP, no loot--from doing stuff under your level punishes players for advancing. And it means that there is absolutely no reason for me to return to earlier zones, if they don't drop anything useful at max-level and I get nothing out of them. This revitalizes large swaths of the game and makes them a bit more relevant for me.

From the opposite end, a lowbie that's scaled up will still have the limitations of being a lowbie. Scaled stats don't make up for a lack of active skills, passives, etc. There is still progression and leveling, and scaling doesn't do away with that--it merely softens the contrast.

As for the gambling bags, I hate gambling and will not buy any of them. But I'm not too fussed about it. If ZOS crosses a line and adds tempers or even gear, then I'll start screaming about it. Otherwise, it doesn't bother me because I can--and will--choose to not participate in this gamble, and other people who don't like it can do the same. And for people who do end up participating, well, that's their folly, and but it's not any of my concern what others do with their money.

When they same all dungeon will have vet mode do they mean the new version dungeon will have a their own story with a skill point for completing it for the first time , or the same story as normal mode but with more hit points from mobs and bosses?

I'm not going to be happy if there is no AP gained for winning duels. If not AP, there needs to be SOME tangible reward.

Ummm no lol, if you want AP stay in Cyrodiil.

I can just imagine the many ways cheaters/exploiters could use duels to gain fast AP.

Cheaters ALREADY exploit for AP. Dueling won't make this any worse. What I want is a FAIR way to gain AP, like a 1v1, 2v2 or 4v4 PvP Arena.

Dueling outside of Cyrodiil sounds nice, but it doesn't address any of the current problems I have with PvP, which are unfair and lop-sided fights.

Think what you are looking for is the batlegtounds then, which will come eventually.

What I'd like to see with the duels is some kind bet placing system, from both the duelers and the audience. That would be pretty fun.

They better be ********* fixing the group finder or im done.

Group Finder is broken until further notice right now. They are struggling to fix it, they literally don't know whats wrong with it, all they know is that for some unexplainable reason, it just doesn't work. It might even have to be removed from the game pending an alternative method of finding groups is designed and coded.
