My main problem with it is the fact that it cannot be blocked and cannot be roll dodged on top of the 70% snare and huge aoe leaving little counterplay. I think it's doing too much compared to other class mastery scripts and I'd rather see something like an increased cooldown or lower resource restore than just nuking it.
I remember doing a battleground, and it forced my character into a wall, and I had to sit there until the game ended. Couldn't take damage or cast abilities. They changed the old fear mechanic a long time ago for the same reason because it would make your character run away and cause you to get stuck. Just apply battlespirit to the script so it stuns instead of charm perhaps?
it can be "prepared" and healed up LMAO.
about undodgeable/unblockable stuns: streak, fossilize, javelin isn't an issue for you, but charm is?
learn to deal with it guys, if you lack of skill, then don't ask someone to make it easier for you.

Re: Why no Undaunted Ultimate?
It would be interesting to have the first Ultimate Grimoire to be on the Undaunted line.

Re: ToT viewing opponent's cards
Not disagreeing with you, just trying to find the reasoning behind it: I'm guessing it's there to lower the gap between ppl who don't/can't keep track of the cards played, and the ones who do/can. Removing this feature would mean that new players get slaughtered by veterans who join the unranked queue (which is happening anyway, but it would be much worse).
This feature wouldn't be needed with a proper ranking system that puts you against opponents of a similar level though...

Re: PTS Participation & Experience Survey
I should have put this in the feedback.
Do you want suggestions for solutions or just an outline of the problem?
I read a lot of long, well thought out posts on the PTS forum which give suggestions of solutions and none of them ever get a reply or implimented. Are these people wasting their time with suggestions that you guys don't care about because you want to come up with your own ideas, or are they taken on board and then dismissed or put into a backlog of some sort?
I stopped giving suggestions ages ago because nothing ever comes from it and it doesn't seem to be welcomed.

Re: PTS Participation & Experience Survey
We need some sort of feedback loop.
What is the intended use of the set?
I honestly think that about a lot of sets, there are far too many that are dead on arrival, or that once had a purpose but then fell behind.
obviously not every set can be 'meta' for PVE DPS, but there shouldnt be such a wide divide, and the solution is not just to nerf those high performing
the solution currently is to pretend everything is fine.
I don't get it.

I really hope the devs take our responses to heart. I always want to do my part to make the game better for everyone, even if I’m just a normal guy, not a content creator.
Want to echo this. The survey is to make sure we get feedback from everyone. We know many want to help in making the game better for everyone. We want to make sure we are giving everyone the tools to do that. And if we are missing some of those tools, we can see what is possible to resolve pain points.
FWIW - I know that SkinnyCheeks offered to sit down with Brian and walk through the sets for a couple hours. Man - what an idea - can that happen? Can that be a live stream please?
Speaking of tools - I think understanding how people like him test or what tools they've been given by ZOS would go a long way. Having standard metrics, forms, etc. to test with would be helpful.

But we are taking in the feedback to improve these in the future along with some of the commentary about the game to share with our team for continued improvements.
Kevin at this point all I can say is "that dog don't hunt". We've been repeatedly reassured that "improved communication" was the rule of the day since well before U35, but especially with U35 and U46 but the devs always fall back into lack of communication, blowing off community questions, and giving us scripted video Q&As that don't answer the questions that the community wants answered and then silence once again. This is not sustainable and nobody believes the improved communication line anymore. We love this game, we love the community, and we love you Kevin but the others are actively driving the community away from the game. This needs to be fixed, if not for a game sustainment angle, for a fiduciary responsibility to the Microsoft shareholders angle.
It's like 2018 all over again. And 2019, 2020, 2022 etc. with "we hear you, we'll do better, communication is coming, stay tuned!, twitter posts asking about "how communication can improve, we all ears". But how long can you be tuned in for the actions to take place, I don't know. It's a bit comical at this point but I genuinely hope someone out there in the team, some new people with a drive and passion like Kevin would be able to somehow shift us into the right direction. Can't see it now, but if this thread got monitored there's better be some actions and the sooner the better.
Just directly ask us directly what communication and how it should be structured, there's enough people who could guide the conversation left in the community despite most being long time gone (mostly because the crickets we're hearing, or rather not hearing even them). People were already trying for years to no avail here, in class rep, content creation etc. Just simply look other teams who do amazingly with community, how they do stuff, how to effectively communicate and own your mistakes, not just blindly celebrate everything with communication channels shut tight.
I agree, and at this point the gaslighting from the devs on "improved communication" is reaching abusive spouse levels of I'll just tell you what you want to hear with no intention of ever doing it. I knew things were getting bad when they killed the class rep program, and then seeing content creators who sunk thousands of hours into being ZoS' best community outreach tool due to their passion for the game and community get discouraged and stop creating content for ESO was a huge wake up call even before the subclassing debacle. I honestly don't see how this situation gets fixed due to ZoS' unwillingness or inability to follow through with their promises (looking at your improved communication and U35 community Q&A) without cleaning house and bringing in new devs who are actually passionate for the game and its community.

Kevin I am concerned your takeaway is how things were said vrs what was said is the issue.
It's not. Probably could have had more nuance or tact but the plain facts of the matter is some of the answers were bad because the information they conveyed was bad.
Re: Tone-deaf AUA on Reddit
The design team is supposedly worried about balance but continues to allow the most toxic gameplay that I've ever experienced in ESO to just persist.
Funny how straws can be grasped over sets that are junk, but there are still setups that can burn down my 38,000 armor build in seconds. And when it isn't that, it's non-stop templar healing ult or non-stop power overload.
Just think about that. Design just isn't capable of seeing the problems. They are here, they have been here, and nothing is doen. Therefore, they aren't issues to design. They are just off in their own little world. Yes, probably one of spreadsheets.

Re: Having an inventory issue... transmutes! (undaunted event)
I'm drowning in reconstructed daggers whose only purpose is to "store" 25 transmute crystals apiece. I don't farm transmute crystals the way some players apparently do (going by what they say in these forums), but I regularly get 5 transmute crystals in Tales of Tribute reward coffers, or 25 transmute crystals in Rewards for the Worthy coffers, so whenever I amass over 975 transmute crystals I reconstruct another 4 or 5 daggers. I cringe when I open a reward coffer and see transmute crystals.
