Re: Conservation of Energy needs to be adjusted for the health of the game
Agreed, this passive is too much for pvp.
Sorc's Conservation of Energy is essentially a better Pound of Flesh Necro got but instead of having a base 10% chance to proc it is guaranteed to proc every second, heal for at least as much as Pound of Flesh if not more and also give Sorc close to infinite sustain.
This is way too much. There needs to be a cap put on both the sustain and healing with battle spirit active. Imo easiest way to go would be to cut the sustain and healing in half with battle spirit active and even then this passive would be insanely good.
Eh, I would rather them keep the sustain. Sorc has bar space issues so having this sustain allows it to drop Dark Deal, which is infinitely better overall for the class.
Currently sorc has such an insanely good sustain with this passive that none of the other sustain class masteries even come close. Warden restores 125 Magicka and Stamina with its sustain perk for example meanwhile Sorc restores 800 on one stat + 300 on another. Granted warden's is more of a support passive but this level of difference is a bit unfair.
Dk and Sorc shouldnt be this privileged when it comes to healing and sustain

Re: AI Written Posts
On a forum I don't think it matters. Yes AI sometimes uses strange wording, but so do lots of people (including native English speakers). Yes you might waste your time correcting or refuting points the poster put zero thought into, written by something that doesn't even understand the game, but that's also not new or unique to AI.
If you think a post isn't worth responding to, for any reason, then don't. No one is automatically entitled to your time and attention, however they wrote their post.
My approach is to judge everything as if the poster wrote it. If AI makes them look like an idiot by making incorrect claims that's their problem. Same if it spits out a long rambling post decorated with creative formatting and emojis which no one reads because it's a nonsense essay. It wouldn't be any better if they'd done that all by themselves.

That's just bad game design in a nutshell. That approach is fine for extremely niche content (like Trifectas) but that mindset is terrible for something you can do at level 10. This is peak PvP player privilege and exactly why Vengeance needs to exist.
Literally the most fundamental concept of an MMO is to interact with other players. It's how I learned, by talking and playing with others. As I continued to play PvP I came in contact with more and more players, I started to try new type of "playstyles" (BGs, small-scale, ballgroup etc etc) and learned more and improved the way I PvP. Literally every single time I felt I got better at PvP was because I interacted and talked to other people who knew more than me.
It's not bad design because you might dislike it, that's not how that definition works.
Sneak is 100% correct that the absence of community teaching people is astonishing these days. They exist sure, but not to the same extent they did in the earlier days of ESO.
Edit: I personally think sub 50 PvP should straight up be removed from the game. Only allow PvP once you hit lvl 50 (which takes a few hours at most if you want to). Sub 50 lost its purpose a long time ago and is a waste of server space imo.
Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Challenge Difficulty
After doing a side quest (solstice) and killing some trolls (as they count as veteran monsters) on my EU characters (EU player here), my opinion on the damage output still being too high was confirmed. Please note, that while I am a decent player I am nowhere near the top players and most of my builds are fun builds, where I forgo the best sets for ones fitting a theme.
For examples trolls; on adventurer they live about 2 seconds, on master they make it to 4 seconds and on vestige they make it to somewhere between 9 and 16 seconds, depending on how much I need to roll to get far enough away for arctic blast to work as a heal. I tested the vestige time with a frost warden and a bow/bow nightblade, neither of them is anywhere close to an optimal build.
Now why did it feel like the fights were too short.
- most quest end bosses are of the same level as trolls, the boss from the solstice side quest also died within 16 seconds. I would expect an end boss even from a side quest to live long enough for me to have to refresh my damage over time skills at least once, while on vestige.
- A troll dying in 14 seconds for example, only manages to get 4 attacks of in this time, if you count his light attacks.
- I spent 15 hours over the last 2 weeks leveling a character on vestige on PTS, at no time did I feel like I needed to upgrade my mostly green gear that I got along the way. Maybe I am wrong, but I would have expected at least vestige to feel like you want to improve your build, not as if upgrading your weapon to gold will optimize all the fun out of the fight.
- I really wished for the higher difficulties to make me want to build my characters, not to make me consider what would be the easiest way to self nerve so it feels like a more balanced fight.
So while leveling on vestige is great fun, I am at 20/20 Champion Level characters and I would really love to be able to play on a difficulty where not everything is one-hitting me, without bosses dying before sub assault even goes off.
My recommendations for the damage modifiers is still the same as in my initial feedback here. (in short, keep the incoming damage nerve the damage output more)
And while I understand that there is a lot of other things getting looked at for Update 50, I would really appreciate it if we could get a heads up, on if the damage output modifiers will get looked at and if yes, if it will happen as part of update 50.

Re: AI Written Posts
Problem is, a lot of players using the forums aren't native English speakers, and use AI to help create a post in their non-native language.
Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Class Mastery
I also want to point out that all these "halved against enemies with battlespirit" stuff is a really bad idea. Battlespirit already has a baked in baseline damage reduction, so this is completely unnecessary. For example Judgements brand base damage is halved vs players, and then that half is added to the base tt of skills and then that damage is again halved another time beacuse of battle spirit.
On this passive, which is restricted solely to templar damage this makes this passive completely useless. I don't how how strong it is in pve but this double reduction puts a massive gaping hole between pve and pvp performance.
I mean we are talking about going from 1500 added damage to like 300 vs players before armor or any other damage reduction. I can get more damage on my jabs per tick by just using Bright Harbinger, which also affects a lot of my heals.

Re: 'While Battle Spirit is active' is becoming too common
Disagree. we need more of it.
Re: AI quests
Right now YouTube is filled with AI slop and a lot of it is not true. Having recently been watching a lot of documentaries, it's hard to find one made by a REAL person that tells actual facts versus AI slop generated content from reddit opinons or other non-factual forums.
Re: Next New Zone?
I think it's just the opposite - they avoided Hammerfell for 10 years and they will continue to avoid it precisely because TES VI is going to be in Hammerfell, to avoid messing with it.
I tend to agree. I really find it hard to think they'd want to create something that's highly likely to be contradicted to a large degree by Bethesda's vision. The fact that they've apparently avoided it for this long seems to support those misgivings.
As an aside, it also makes me wonder how ZOS will come to terms with current areas like Alik'r and Southern Bangkorai which are likely not going to match what we see in Bethesda's treatment.
