Re: Anyone else wish Dark Shade would summon two shades again?

This is true which is why I'm thinking it would be cool if they kinda combined the old shades with the new one. So basically it still scales off of your highest offensive stats, still does AoE, but each shade does half the damage the current one does.
Basically if both shades are targeting the same enemy, it'll do the same damage it does now (just looks cooler), but if they go after different enemies it would spread the AoE damage around a bit more, which would be helpful.
Or they could have the shades always target the same enemy, whatever people prefer, I just want the two shades back. Really made this ability feel awesome.

Re: Western Skyrim: Now a dead zone?
Yes, trough zone on many alts so some time to I will be back.That was to be expected. There was a discussion here recently, some said Harrowstorms are awesome and should be hard, some said the loot is not worth it, etcetera pepe yada yada.
It's simply a terribly-designed event and everyone saw that coming since Greymoor launched. Give it a week or two, numbers should go slightly up again, everyone's burnt out at the moment. Don't expect frequent farming, though.
I say its too many harrowstorms so its hard to find one who is up, this was an issue even at launch.
You can see them from far away if you're in a good spot. Morthal wayshrine is my favorite. Easily accessible and you can see three storms from there.
Re: How is DPS this low on CP 500+ toons?
and to add, I'm going to bring up the game that shall not be named, but as its one of two MMO's that i'm currently actively playing - I kinda have to.
here is what I have to do to get acceptable dps in WoW. look up rotation. set up my bar so that I can follow that rotation. get some baseline gear, generally from running some dungeons as well as doing world quests - most of them are soloable, and with baseline starter gear you get from early lvl 50 activities - all but a handful are.
is my dps going to be anywhere near the top? no. for that a lot of gear optimization along with tightening of rotation/knowledge of mechanics is required. but... its STILL going to be acceptable for a very good chunk of end game content.
in ESO.. you are practicaly required to practice and practice a LOT and got help you if your innate skill ceiling is low, there is only so far the practice will get you because this game has NO give.
this is why this feels like 2 different games sometimes. overworld is balanced so that even people with low skill ceiling can get through it, but that makes it far too easy for end game folks. and end game is all but impossible for majority of the population, because its balanced for people who are willing to invest more time into practicing their rotations among other things, then most people are willing to spend on any one video game to just play it, let alone "git gud" at it.

Re: Option to hide pathing node visuals while decorating.
I don't believe there is, not that I could find at least.
I definitely agree on the option for Nodes to be hidden. Love the pathing, really pleased to see Nodes at the 30 mark, unique path colors are awesome; However... when you start setting multiple objects to path and have more than a handful of Nodes, it does start to become a forest for the trees type of thing. Eyesore for sure.
I think the default setting should be off entirely and then to have a toggle button on-screen (i.e. Browse, Exit, etc...) to "Display Paths".
Maybe it would be good for the current (or next Node, if object is pathing) to have it's respective Node circle enabled for display as an anchor back to the path for the player. Personally, I'd rather it not, although I could see it potentially being helpful.
While on the pathing topic:

While on the pathing topic:
- Path Settings really should be in the mouse over for a Node Edit once a path has been created. Having to re-enter the "Path Edit" is easy to overlook or just miss entirely when first creating the path.
- Adding a new Node to an existing path could be a bit more intuitive and probably should be added into the same menu. Something like "A" - "Add A New Node". i.e. when you mouse over the last Node, you can choose "Path Edit", once you do your option to r-click is "Add Node Before", granted you will see "Add New Node" if the Node is not the focus, and it makes sense considering both mouse buttons are assigned, yet it feels like a lot of steps to go through and slightly awkward.
- Pitch and Roll should be enabled for "Precision Edit" of Path Nodes.

You can get the molten buffs from potions... I am only losing dmg If I slot it....
Also I hate that you can't swap cancel the stomp of stone giant. It makes my rotation feel clunky 😞.
Please ZoS I really would like some class improvements. I don't need tons of dmg but at least a good feeling when doing my rotation.
I to struggled with poop fist at first..but then.....applied this and all was better!

and yea, agree with the passives bit...could use a look.
Lmao. I would be surprised if this build can even get 70k dps. Most likely 50-60k.
Stam dk unfortunately has no business being in endgame content atm.
I believe content clear is OK , not everyone in end game guild
Re: Western Skyrim: Now a dead zone?
PS4 NA,
It’s sad to see. Since the event has ended, Western Skyrim has become even more of a ghost town than Murkmire or Clockwork City. Can’t even complete the dailies because there just aren’t enough players in the zone to help. The harrowstorms wouldn’t be so bad to solo if the crows weren’t so OP. Are the other platforms experiencing a similar situation in Skyrim? Just curious.
I disagree. I have been in each day to do dailies and explore, its naturally quieter but its far from dead. Ive done WB and storms without too much issue. Of course, it can depend on the time of day/night you are playing.
If we keep adding more and more zones, statistically speaking zone populations are going to fall on average. Just something to bare in mind.

Nobody likes to go backwards.

Why not share the power and make everyone happy?
Define "everyone".
In your analogy, you and your neighbour are happy if you share the power, but not the power company which earns less money by issuing one shared bill than issuing two separate bills.
Wrong. Rapids benefitted everyone. So you, your neighbor, the electric company and the rats nibbling on your cable.
Re: Western Skyrim: Now a dead zone?
Harrowstorms should be ENJOYABLE with WORTHWHILE loot. If they're fun and rewarding, does it really matter how difficult they are and how many people you need?
Given how much the community is constantly clamoring for more difficult overland content I would say yes.
