    My character is now incapable of leveling in veteran content solo (nerfs + VR difficulty increase) and I cannot afford a respec, so I unsubbed. It wasn't vindictive, I just literally can't play the game anymore.

    I feel the damage nerf to shield bash was needed and perfectly reasonable.
    Not liking any other change.

    I can understand his real comment. I died killing 2 VR4 Jackals when I logged in before realizing my character was useless and respeced back into dual wield and going to test out 2h. This patch wasted 13500g for me plus the cost of the respec a couple weeks ago into shield and the cost of those decrease cost of block enchantments, and the cost of that shield, etc etc. I can understand a PVP issue with bash because it apparently stuns people? I don't PVP so idk, I just know that the only effective way to shield in VR is to bash. so no more shield players in VR content.

    I unsubbed too. Sadly Bethesda/Zen has reduced themselves to just another game company making balance changes based around pvp, when most of the playerbase are pve. As the old saying goes "if you don't like it, gtfo." which I am considering as my game time runs out.

    If its the DK nerf.... come on, they were soloing GROUP DUNGEONS... they are the only class able to do it. NB`s can by abusing invisibility, but if they get hit a few times they die.

    Dk`s were TANKING, HEALING and DPS`ing the entire dungeon.... you tell me that`s normal... or that you thought it will last.

    EDIT: And while a few might quit, a lot more will come back/stay as it shows they are actually balancing things and won`t allow the game to just be one class owning.

    Yea Its just not fun to take over 10 min to fight a mob of 3 and most of the time you are just waiting there for stamina or magic. I takes way to long to attempt to solo quest or dungeons in VR content with 1h and shield. If anyone knows how to respec to make that possible again I would love to know. i have the skill points and money just cant see a way of doing that anymore with this build

    Look , i understand nerfs/buffs always happen and it will happen again and so on.

    But i dont really understand why they hit bitting jabs the skill was never that good to begin with in vet content , still they did.

    Now , like i said , i understand that this kind of thing happens and that the resonable response would be to move to other skill lines and adapt till the next buff/nerf, but when i stop to think about it , i dont see why really.

    I made a templar , because of the spear line , i dont give a damm about healing , i have no intentions of being a healer. And now i cant really use it , so , why im even playing lols? I could jump to some other dmg option , but nah , not worth it for me.

    Still , i dont expect many to do so, the nerfs/buffs are nescessary in any MMO and i do believe only a really small minority like me would quit over it.

    With that said , im waiting on it , maybe someone will find a build where i can still use my spear heh , i do hope they find it.

    Its over, If they don't want to fool with increasing the damage of slotted skill and lowering the stamina cost, the only option they have left is upping the damage of the sword itself. That's all they can do to fix it.

    I have virtually no reason to continue playing. The nerfs combined with the VR mob buffs make the game no longer fun to play.

    DK soloing group dungeons? I am a DK, I can solo a dungeon, regular Fungel Grotto, I'm VR4. I had problems doing he second DC dungeon with my lvl 21 GF. So a VR3 and a lvl21 can't do a lvl 20 dung. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but clearly the build that I was using didn't need a nerf, but it got one anyways.

    I don't play DK (well, I have a low level one) but I do play Templar and NB.

    Like NB's needed screwing over any more.

    So in under 2 months we've had loot nerfs, XP nerfs, quest nerfs, boss loot nerfs, class nerfs, motif nerfs, container nerfs ......

    I'm seeing a pattern I don't like.

    None were really necessary for PVE . They should have done a better job for PVP balance.

    I hope Zenimax didn't hire Jay Wilson, Looks like only 31% of the people are happy with the nerfs as of right now. That leaves 69% of the other players unhappy with the nerfs. Better follow the money trail!!

    I really just can't bring my self to want to play it anymore. My toon is just not tuff enough to quest or do solo dungeons alone anymore at this lvl. and i have completed almost 100 percent of everything before it. So I just sit here thinking of how long it took me to fight that last troll(over 10min) and I don't want to go back and do it again.... I'm sad!
    all this after playing 4+ hours a day for the last month :( and i couldn't wait to get on this morning

    hmmm

    I play a Templar and NightBlade. I haven't played my lvl 20 NB since patch, but my Templar (lvl 27 with biting jabs) seems fine. Mowed through mobs fairly easily... Only thing I noticed was towards the end of my playtime my ultimate wasn't re-charging anymore no matter what I did... Worked fine when I first logged on...

    The nerfs themselves haven't really impacted me as much as the mob changes that are supposedly intended. I don't see how they're intended considering trash regular mobs can 2 shot you if done right.

    Yes, keep them all.
    I don't like any of the nerfs that personally affect me. I am in favor of the nerfs that affect other players I fight against.

    This is true of my outlook on it, if I'm honest about it. I'm sure it's pretty true of how most players perceive nerfs. I am rather lucky not to be picking option two in this poll. I don't think I would ever build a character that makes me pick 3 onward.

    Love them all and keep balancing game. Doesn't matter to me, the harder the game, the longer it will take to finally experience all of it.

    Good riddance to those that want to make the developers hostage to their self-interest. No more posting for you, bummer.

    This pretty much covers it, to much bad very little good, every maintenance ruins the game, the bank/bag space is a joke, the costs are a joke, the loot is a joke bugs and bots icing on the cake, such a fun game...

    level 21 and no mount seriously...pay $15 for this garbage, yeah good luck with that Zenimax.
