It's not the 17th helm, they are making 17 more helmets to be added to the normal dungeons that are getting their veteran versions this patch

Weapon ults huh? I bet magicka gets shafted here too.

I just hope the Destro Staff Ult(s) are each unique and useful depending on which type of staff you've got.

They could also use the Heal staff Ult as an opportunity to tune the balance between Magicka and Stamina healing. Could be really good.

Yes, but there are currently only 16 normal dungeons.
5 in each alliance plus one in Coldharbor.
They keep saying 17 which leads us to believe one of the current normal dungeons without a veteran version might get a sequel.
These are:
Tempest Island
Selene's Web
Arx Corsinium
Blessed Crucible
Direfrost Keep
Volenfell
Blackheart Haven
Vaults of Madness

Oh thats what he meant, and that is an interesting point

Yolokin_Swagonborn · August 2016

When they say Duels "outside" of cyrodiil does that mean that cyrodill will also support duels or will they only be available outside.

If its the latter, then all duels will use the champion system. Just saying. Unless you can duel in Azuras, the champion system will be a huge factor in dueling.

Alliance Points are obtained when you kill enemy players. Why shouldn't I get AP for killing those same players in a duel?

Or will dueling be same faction only?

The first reason is it would be far to easy to game the system. Usually why there is no rewards to dueling.

Seconds I dont know, but I assume as with most casual friendly games you wont actually be killing anyone. You will spare them when they are almost dead, fans will cheer, and then everyone will walk away.

ClockworkArc · August 2016

Wow, suoer excited for Vet Blackheart!

If you kill an enemy player in Cyrodiil then that is part of the Alliance war... hence alliance points. If anyone could gain AP from duels in any part of Tamriel, then what is to stop people from taking turns killing each other to gain AP? Even if you are duelling players from opposing factions, if it's not in Cyrodiil then it's not helping with the Alliance war.

For me I think I will be MOSTLY duelling players from my own faction (friends & guild members) because we want to improve with the builds we intend to play in the Alliance war.

update 12 can't come quickly enough

Yes, it is SEVENTEEN new monster sets. Every single dungeon now has a normal and veteran version.

You can do three Undaunted pledges per day which means (if you do the hard mode for each) six keys every single day and six helms. However, the chests you open are SEPARATE. Basically if you want a Molag Kena shoulder, you only open the "DLC" chest with your keys and only DLC monster shoulders drop out of that chest. This allows you to focus on the particular set you want a bit more.

There are 30 new sets that drop in the main zones, three per zone. They have repurposed/redesigned some existing sets and added them too but it is 30 new + a few repurposed old stuff. The starter zone of each Alliance (such as Bleakrock/Bal Foyen) only drop ONE set and that set has max health/stam/magicka bonuses plus ONLY drops in training trait to help players move forward in their gameplay.

Duelling can be done ANYWHERE in the overworld, yes that includes the middle of Mournhold. There is more info (some of it very juicy, I promise) being revealed at PAX by Wheeler. . Duelling includes all Cyrodiil restrictions i.e. you still gain the battle spirit debuff when duelling.

Some sets have been moved, such as Viper set drops in Fungal Grotto instead.

Lastly (that I can think of) U12 comes to PTS in the first or second week of September for an October release.

Any more questions feel free to ask, will try to remember it all!

Will those 30 sets be able to drop in impen or are they removed from their.I know with update 12 impen will be added to dungeons sets so am not sure about open world sets.

Clarkieson · August 2016

So if duelling is in pve area does it mean that the damage and healing nerfs in cyrodil wont apply?

Or is pve being nerfed to compensate?

So basically the pvpers/duelers are going to be able to spam aoe spells everywhere, slow the game to a slideshow in the middle of Mournhold, and grief the crap out of players who want to go the bank, crafting stations, enchanter, alchemist, dye station and the merchant kiosks. Any info about how they are going to keep this from happening?

Any more information about the crafting aspect? How the materials are going to work?

When you start a duel battle spirt will be activated on your character.No PVe isn't being nerfed. Of they did Nerf damage it would actually make it difficult instead of being so easy as it is now.

No extra content in update12? u got a whopping 16 new dungeons and a whole zone revamped (craglorn) and u get dueling in pve zones. Plus all the basegamechanges with one tamriel being the best thing that happened since launch of this game. Still i would like a complete update without any extra content at all just total focus on fixing all the bugs, lagg, exploits out there. Hope they do that in update13.

Im not sure about that, ofc some swill move their homebase in pve to other areas where most of their friends reside, but i will stay in Rawlakha.

Veteran Vaults of Madness - how crazily and unbelievably does it sound? I've been waiting for this for ages and my dreams will eventually come true... I think that vWGT will have to give the crown to vVoM as my the most favourite dungeon in the game

Not necessarily. Apparently duelling will activate Battle Spirit, which doesn't usually apply in PvE, so it's possible they have also implemented some way to disable CP passives too.

Seriously, it took them this long to add weapon ultimates?

I swear on my life the sword and shield one better not be a smurfed damage shield.

Dont get me wrong, I am excited about them, but this is something that should have been in the game from the very get go.

Good lord, relax. You can say this literally about any little pet feature than someone might want. They are doing wonderful work with this game.

Um, weapon ultimates are not a litle pet feature, this is something that SHOULD have been in the game since the get go. The game has been knee jerk balanced because of the lack of weapon ultimates since launch. A little pet feature would be horse racing. Not weapon ultimates.

Sounds a lot like VoM only with more hit points.

They may completely surprise me, but with as many dungeons as they are doing, i doubt the dungeons will be any different. Just more hps, more damage and labeld vet.

So i guess if VoM is your favorite vVoM should be the same.

Cously · August 2016

Is it true they will do vet modes of older dungeons without adding a new story? LAME ZOS! Due the Stockholm syndrome however I'm happy even if we get lame vet modes than nothing at all.

Khaos_Bane · August 2016

I cannot believe so many people are so excited about dueling.
