We get it. You don't like procs or status effects, I'm sorry but I feel like it's all I see you complain about every pts and you've found ways to include it in threads that have nothing to do with it. No offense meant because I ultimately respect your opinion but I'd wager many people disagree with you overall. For example, some of the ideas you've raised about reducing status effects to how they once were are not my brand of fun, and I like "fun".. every element is viable now, whereas for the longest time it was just Flame.
To me, ZOS finally realized they can't gut every single aspect of the game in the name of performance, that ship has sailed and I'm in full support of it or they were going to lose the entire playerbase. The game was stagnated. Not evolving. It felt like it had no real future. They've found a test environment they can really play with instead of messing with the live server experience any time they get a feeling.
I pray for the days where Hurricane and many other abilities like it ticked every second or even every half second instead of the constant over simplification that brought us to U35 and beyond because "hur dur performance". It's a miracle, and it shouldn't be, that DK has 10s dots and Embers. Those are awesome. Hell Sorc has some type of version of implosion back, one of the reasons I mained them 10+ years ago that got ripped away.
If ZOS still treated the game the way they used to, Arcanist, Scribing, DK refresh and all the ones to come next with unique Mastery's would never exist and we'd still be playing "which coloured abilities do you like"?
It's the wild west, let's watch them cook. 2026 has been their best year to date.
Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Class Mastery
Font of Power
This passive provides 851 weapon and spell damage on my character carried over from live. The sheer amount of raw stats offered is a little concerning but the passive doesnt have any secondary effects like granting maximum crux to arcanist or granting 300 weapon and spell damage to team members like templar. Imo the passive doesnt need a nerf, but would be a good idea to keep an eye on it.
It needs buffs. Warden gets 1665, Nightblade up to 2500 (or 1250), Arcanist can stack over 900 or 30% damage done.
Font of Power is too weak and requires you to stack a highly suboptimal stat, while other classes get their damage just for living and using what they already do.
1500 magicka scaling would still be too harsh for Font of Power.
Agreed. Our skills need the power buff.
Any well built Sorc should be at or around the 7k Weapon or Spell damage with Font, easily, and that sadly isn't enough to make Sorc skills competitive.d
I'm really surprised they nerfed MoS .. even with the higher W/S damage asking Sorcs to run this set was going to be a tall order.

If you gave that to Nightblades fear, the delayed stun, this entire forum would implode
We should wait for all classes to be uplifted first but...
The delay stun is a bit broken tbf, and wings does a bit too much for one click, but I dont have any issues whip.... i think its...

Re: Weekly Challenge Reroll Woes
I am already stuck with three challenges I don't want to do. I wasted all my rerolls on trying to get different ones but ended up with three I don't want. I usually could do all three with endeavors maybe missing one a week.
What happens when I have accumulated 12 I don't want?

Re: Vengeance mode for trials, arena's and trifectas now

If we didn't have a normal version of dungeons, trials, and arenas so that casual and new players could experience them too, then you'd have a point. But we do, so this just about Vengeance needing to be tested before it could be put out there. Sorry the new feature needed testing, I guess.
But I want the Godslayer mount but I’m too lazy to farm the gear, and the prospect of spending weeks or months learning how Sunspire works is just way too much effort for me.
I think this is a brilliant idea.
You know you can pay for carries, just like how you can pay for emps in PvP. Aint a lot of the non-GH servers all about social engineering of PvP guilds for stuff like that?
Re: Request: Crossplay FAQ
Hi All, just wanted to follow up here. I know some folks would like info now, but we are still a bit too early for sharing anything. There is quite a bit that is getting figured out and subject to change. But once we have some core concrete info, we will certainly share more info, long before testing and release of Crossplay. But one thing to reiterate. Crossplay will not be this year. We know that is disappointing, but we need the year to work through a lot of the considerations we need to make for Crossplay.
Thanks Kevin, but I would hope that the team can still answer some of our questions and address our concerns relatively early in the process to avoid putting things on a path that can’t be altered with player feedback.
A lot of large changes we have had in the past have had unforeseen effects on certain playstyles, but since we only heard about it so late in the process, there was no way to address those concerns. As a result, these releases left certain playerbases feel unheard.
As a few examples: U33’s Account-Wide Achievements left no solution for players who prefer zone completion on a per-character basis or who want to see their characters as individuals. U46’s Subclassing left no solution for players who write their characters around their Class and still want to do high-level content at the same level as others (which the team then got into all the refreshes and Mastery passives for)
A lot of players have major concerns with two issues: name conflicts (account names, character names, and guild names), and economy inequality (guild trader and item costs based on average server wealth). Both of these issues are fairly foundational issues that the team will need to decide in very early in the process, so waiting until everything is finished and being polished to give us the details will definitely leave some players unhappy… with no way to adjust the foundation at that point.
Re: Vengeance mode for trials, arena's and trifectas now
Okay, people don't like Vengeance and it makes them feel angry or neglected or whatever negative thing, granted.
I get lost on how this translates to "someone else should have their fun decreased." Can anyone explain an honest, rational reason for this request, or is it just upset people lashing out?

Re: The Silence On Antiquity Leads Is Defeaning!
this whole system needs a 'deep dive' and a serious QoL pass because for everyone that is not a glutton for punishment it is a reliable source of frustration rather than entertainment.
THIS.
But I'll add,
RicAlmighty wrote: »What an incredibly player hostile decision this is. I thought we were past the age of endless grind? @ZOS_Kevin
Even with all the good QOL updates recently, Antiquities – especially Housing related – have been left behind so far.
It's an odd choice to punish active subscription instead of rewarding it. When it takes months or literally years of frustration to get what you need for your gameplay, then in my experience, it can be better to leave and maybe return when it's reasonable:
Just for one example, I left ESO just before Greymoor, until late 2022. I just barely missed the whole Murkmire Safebox debacle. By the time I returned, 1. Tons of people had complained and drop rates were improved, 2. Most people who wanted Oakensoul already got it, so by the time I tried to get it, there were plenty of safeboxes in Murkmire and it was easy to get. Yay for me, but... sorry for everyone who was supporting the latest content at the time.
...
And likely thanks to those mass complaints, more recent Mythics (as we've repeated) are often far easier to get than furnishings, and are usable and even endlessly reconstructable after just ONE completion. Versus 3/3 to unlock, which we need to use things in Housing, and wherein 2-3 - 3/3 is utterly miserable.
