Re: Bring Back Heavy Attack Werewolf
I very much appreciated having reasons to heavy attack, especially during off-balance windows (y'all, it just 'felt nice'- I can't explain this part).
Stam cost reduction was in-part rationalized with a damage reduction from live... but I'd both rather have the damage and just 'normal build' costs for an actual reason to both build stam (for damage) and to heavy attack. In PvP or tanking, it's not like it's difficult to build low cost/heavy attack/build regen for sustain anyway. You lose efficiency on any build OTHER than a pure ganker not building things like tri-glyphs, using tri-pots, building 5-1-1, etc. anyway.
In other words, this wasn't a 'huge favor' at least while tanking/in PvP- especially when Hircine's Fortitude/Rage is our 'Stamina only' dark deal now in PvP.
I DON'T speak for everyone. Simply giving my opinion based on my own preferences.

Re: Update 50 PTS – Week 3 Summary
Honestly I'd prefer Mastery Passives to be disabled for WW for now as well as a test than to see WW overall nerfed yet again.YandereGirlfriend wrote: »huskandhunger wrote: »
Consider toning down the raw power of this passive as well from "up to once every 200ms" to "up to once every 2 seconds" to match status effect damage over times
Just disable Class Masteries for WW and call it a day. EZ.
Then we don't have to nerf Sorc just because of its interaction with WW.

Re: Update 50 PTS – Week 3 Summary
They just want to bully us. Everyone were saying that NB needs massive buffs in pvp but they keep nerfing NB each week, there is no other logical answer to how they make these NB changes
Down with BIG nightblade! Kidding, I agree that it really seems there is a disconnect between the forums and their implementations. I wonder how they decide to choose what they decide to change, honestly.

Re: Furniture vault access removed, 1000x less likely to spend $ with ZOS now

The craft bag is clearly marked as being part of ESO+. The furniture vault is NOT marked as being part of ESO+. It only says you have to have ESO+ to purchase the furniture vault. Nowhere does it say you will lose access to the furniture vault if you don't have ESO+.
It's all good though. Now I know to never do housing and to radically limit the money I spend with ZOS. I'm a PvP main anyway, and ZOS most likely taking Cyrodiil away soon too, so I'll just request a refund for the 21k crown pack I just purchased in preparation for engaging in housing and move on.
These kinds of marketing practices aren't for me. I don't do business with companies that aren't up front with these kinds of things. This is the kind of treatment I expect from a shady insurance company. "Oh, sorry, your premium doesn't cover that".
Re: Concerns About ESO’s Future Direction and Solo Player Experience
@YandereGirlfriend I agree with you, and I really don’t have anything against group content. ZoS should add evne more, every 3, 6 months, bring everything they can into the game.
But why exclude solo players? Why?
They could add a “normal” mode and we would all be happy, no? Why force me to help "you"? Why force "you" to help me? Why push solo players into group content?
A normal mode in [snip] market would solve it all, like always.

Re: Official Night Market Feedback Thread
Randyfoxie wrote: »Locking new content behind mandatory groups shuts out players who work. That’s not good design. Good MMO design respects different playstyles. This feels like it forgot solo players exist.
I believe they didn't forget solo players exist. I believe they want them to convert to groupies or leave the game. It would have been easy to place a difficulty scale on this, but ZOS clearly stated that they were meaning to require grouping for this event.
Question: you've been vocal about how much you as a solo player hate the Night Market ever since PTS, so I have to ask, do you also say stuff like this every time we get a dungeon DLC? Because those are definitely not for solo players too.
The game has a wide variety of players, so it's impossible for every piece of content to make everyone happy. I didn't like Tales of Tribute. I dislike the entire companion system. But even though I dislike them, I know that there are players who do like them, and I'm not going to get mad at ZOS for making something for those players. I ignore those parts of the game. So, if you hate the Night Market, why not just ignore it too?
(For the record, I'd much rather have a dungeon DLC than the Night Market.)

Along with RoA's lack of CC immunity, DKs leap and it's undocumented CC was was also amongst my pain points that they asked for not so long ago.
This was added years ago to Dragon Leap to fix situations where people could walk out of the area before it even hits. So while it is undocumented, it is not unintentional. It was an active decision that carried over into the rework.
I'm aware of when and why this was done. I'm of the opinion that if they can't make something work within the rules and limitations of their own game, it shouldn't be in the game. Why am I breaking cc, rolling immobilize, only to get immediately nailed too the floor again so I can be dog piled. The class rework could have been used to address this mechanic.Going after Serpent's Disdain when Rush of Agony and Warden Charm exist in their current form is crazy work.
I brought up Serpent's Disdain because a similar set had recently been changed (Relequen), so it made sense.
There are a number of threads about Rush of Agony and Warden charm, but please feel free to make more.
There is room for discussion on more than one item set.
Serpents Disdain isn't the reason for the power creep in status effects.
I have never claimed this.
You have either misread this thread or not read it at all.
I haven't misread anything. I just don't agree with your opinion about the set needing changes. The power it enables is created elsewhere.

Re: Nerfing WW further in Next Update for PvE?!
Why? Why can't WW stay on par with a 1bar Live DK and actually be viable in end-game things? Why should an entire playstyle be locked out of harder content? Why isn't WW allowed to be meta along with anything else? Why do people think less build diversity is better? Why do we have to live with it being nerfed again and again? It's going to get to a point where it lags behind EVERY CLASS once they get reworked at this rate.YandereGirlfriend wrote: »Quick reminder for all. Anyone can be in a vet trial. A 'good enough' group can throw someone in a corner, let them die, and carry on like nothing ever happened.
However, if long-standing PvE trifecta guild member (example name) 'notRalph1' tries to bring a werewolf into a Godslayer run, especially after these nerfs- they're telling him to swap regardless of who he is or what he's capable of. That's because unless there are legitimately inexperienced people in your trial, werewolf has a VERY LIKELY chance to be at the very bottom of any group CMX for DPS-on-target, especially when the trial requires movement or punishes melee.
And this is in comparison to non-reworked classes with decent 'class mastery' damage passives as well (because they have the option of range and better util to fit a group).
(notification just came in) Oooh, @Wup_sa is back again. I wonder (0.o) what they're going to say.
Honestly, if a WW wants a slot in an high-end prog then they will probably have to do so from within a WW guild.
That isn't shade on WW specifically but simply the reality that those sorts of things always seem to require adhering to hard meta requirements. The only way to avoid them is to make your own group and do it yourself. We've seen basically all non-Beam builds get vetoed for such content for years and they likely will continue to be vetoed because you run the mathematical best for your group or you are making the content more difficult than it needs to be.
I don't love that situation but non-meta specs (and, by definition, there will always be non-meta specs) would likely have a more productive time organizing amongst themselves to do content than trying to crash through the brick wall of existing high-end prog leads and their guilds.
ETA the 'you' in this isn't directed at you but is the general form of the word.
