Re: Where is everyone?
Is there a reason everyone went for the thousand eye faction with what feel like a x5 pop gap compared to the other when I look at scores?

Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Combat Refresh: Werewolf

U50 Werewolf handles like a dump truck compared to the live Werewolf, which feels like a sports sedan. Regardless of how much damage it can output, it feels terrible to play.
Skills are delayed and can be easily canceled(not animation cancel, I mean not actually cast) by light attacks and bash. Roar is the biggest offender. The cast time needs to be removed. 0.3s might as well be a full second or longer. If roar has to be delayed, make the impact delayed rather than the cast.
Skills connect at the wrong time if they connect at all. When dueling, at the beginning of a duel, my opponent would be at a distance. I would immediately roll dodge at the start, but take damage from a pounce while they were still standing on the ground at a distance. Then the pounce animation would occur. I can also be attacking an opponent directly in front of me and do zero damage to them.
Heavy attack Werewolf for U50 is dead. It was killed when fast heavy attacks were removed from Roar. New heavy attacks take 2 business days to que.
Hircine's Fortitude heals for 33% less than live, Rip and Tear heal was reduced by nearly half, and Blood Claws is now only a 6 second dot because PvP or something. Hircine's Fortitude needs to be stronger and it needs a HoT and a cross heal.
Are we being serious with the 1 second bleed on Berserker light attacks?
Are we being serious with 10% weapon damage down from 18% on live? This may be okay if we get weapon passives, but we're still waiting.
There were only a small amount of things that I really expected to see for Werewolf with the update:
-Weapon passives
-HoT and/or cross heal for Hircine's Fortitude
-Reduced cost for skills(specifically the heal)
-Improvement in skill functionality:
* Roar range and instant fast heavy attack activation
*Pounce being single cast with Carnage activating on impact.
We got one of those things. Reduced cost for skills. The cost reduction for the heal came with a significant nerf to the healing value.
Comparing weapon damage passives from live and pts is kind of like comparing apples and oranges with ability bases being adjusted.
The only thing directly nerfed would be scaling of procs in pvp. But even then we should factor in major courage buff for a werewolf as well.
IMO U50 Werewolf has significant survival improvements, more damage, flexibility and build variation than it does on live.
It's a pretty apples to apples comparison. The way they "balance" things for werewolf is and has always been to make one thing a little "better" and then take away or nerf something that already existed. It ends up coming out the same or worse.
More survivable? They nerfed healing and heal scaling on the burst heal. Survival depends largely on constantly attacking a target. No target no heal. That burst heal will NOT carry you through.
They removed an entire playstyle (my playstyle) by taking away fast heavy attacks. Now we play as tank wolf or dot wolf only. No hard hitting skills, no heavy attacks(unless you are trying to die). Bash weaving is now nearly mandatory too. Never have I seen so many Werewolves bash weaving (except me) than I have since the first day of pts.
Werewolf builds into armor pen and weapon damage, humans build into Onslaught.
There were a few things unique to Werewolf.
-Larger stamina pool (gone)
-18% Weapon damage buff (nerfed)
-33% faster heavy attacks (gone)
-30% faster movement speed(questionable)
I'm still trying to see how this as a whole is better. I would rather keep my live Werewolf.
Right you can't just look at a single stat change to compare you need to weigh the full fruit basket. PTS damage and sustain are in a much better place than live. For me the ability to actively roll dodge more due to better sustain is More impactful for survival than overhealing is. Spam heal is weaker but less expensive. Mobility is equal to live in terms of speed, and is better when rampage is engaged.
I would have liked to see some more pure class passives synergize better with ww form. But maybe this will come with class reworks.
Suggestions:
-add additional juice to brutal pounce. Diseased debuff, additional fury on ticks, heal absorb, snare immunity. Something nifty.
-give better indicator for rampage ready, audio/visual. Pack leader could grow another 10% while active.
-Lights attack weaving is still a bit clunky get cancelled too easily, to often.
-speed up the HA, lower the damage and base resorce return if necessary.
Re: Night Market Opinion Poll
All I can think of is that it sounds like Craglorn was when it launched, only with much worse rewards. I went in and got the house and now I'm done.

This zone was advertised always, from the reveal in January to launch now, as a group zone.
Why are y’all surprised when it actually requires a group?
Obviously, because 80% of the player base is used to "normal/overland" content. When ZOS says "group content", players expect to spam any skill, ignore red circles, and be unable to die to mobs or bosses and complete content no matter what they do.
Did the Thousand Eyes district today with a friend, went in as a duo (tank + DD) and had no issues at all, except for one boss, felt like vet content and was actually fun

Re: Night Market Opinion Poll
It's a group zone and only a group zone.
If you have a group it's fun but if you don't have it the night market simply isen't for you.
They advertised it as a group zone, but basically said "so it'll be a challenge for solo players". They didnt say that it would be challenging for a 12 person group too!
We got destroyed in our regular dungeon group.
Pugging is even worse than for a trial group because everyone wants to do different things. At least in a trial everyone has the same goal... and they still often fail with pugs.
I dont mind them making content for certain groups of people that I might not be part of - but I wish they had advertised it as a veteran trial zone, rather than an event zone that anyone can enjoy with a few friends. Because I was really looking forwards to this and now im disappointed. Hey... at least we have the new skyrim zone to explore in... 8-10 months...

Re: Sorc nerfs are too heavy handed
Also I kinda disagree that "more health" is the solution to this. Bullet sponges are never a good development methodology to have in relation to difficulty, and neverr will be. No one wants to sit doing the same stuff for a longer time. More health doesn't = more difficulty. What makes a games difficulty should be the damage dealt by the boss, combined with good tangible and learnable mechanics.
I'm not going to go further into this, generally this statement that more health isn't a good solution holds true. But in ESO's case, everything is way too squishy, bosses, trash, all die way too fast and it's been that way for a while, this is the case for dungeons and trials just the same.
The game already has a lot of rich mechanics, that never happen ever in a fight because a boss dies too fast. Look at Rakkhat in Maw of Lorkhaj, that fight has some of the most interesting and fun mechanics from bosses in the game, but you never get to see any of them because the boss dies way before he even gets to start doing any of them. That's only one example of many.
Re: Vengeance Test #4 Feedback Thread
Didn't find any stalemates, damage quite quickly outpaced healing in all scenarios that I experienced.
General feedback is: absolutely bring this mode back 100%, best large-scale fights and activity I've experienced since coming back to the game in Jan! Normal campaigns don't feel enjoyable at all by comparison for me as a casual.

Re: Vengeance Test #4 Feedback Thread
first time experiencing vengeance, and personally found it overall enjoyable once i got used to how it was set up, it certainly reminded me more of 2014 cyrodiil without all of the elements i consider toxic in the current cyro environment (ball groups, tower trolls, bombers, gankers)
i was glad that siege was actually impactful and made a difference in how you set up siege, though i do kind of wish for a few more options like a fire ballista
in my opinion the 2 things which i found to be issues in vengeance:

in my opinion the 2 things which i found to be issues in vengeance:
- ranged dmg (its a notice able problem lacking the range increase passive from the alliance war skill lines, this could just be baked in for vengeance like some others suggest)
- mount speed in cyrodiil (feels a little sluggish, but i also dont have a maxed out mount either, this could be adjusted to just have a flat mount speed buff in vengeance)
Re: Official Night Market Feedback Thread
As most players said, this is terrible design. The difficulty level too hard even for groups but instances are empty. Add to this that everyone has different quest or task, so you are on your own with vet group content. Companions are useless, well, this is expected at such difficulty level. All this makes it impossible to play for anyone without premaid group. Few players who are still there are completely lost with all those sand doors, puzzles, etc and before they have a chance to figure it out they already killed.
To summarize, you just made content for very small group of players who play together with premaid and preorganized groups on regular basis.
Now what about the rest of us? Just the house, that's it? We are the majority that finance the game, so where is content for us?
