Re: Don't nerf crit resist
Why is everyone talking about critical damage like crits don't have RNG associated with them?
Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Combat Refresh: Werewolf
Just looked at the recaps again. The numbers are disingenuous.
There are, in the last post with recap numbers, 61 instances of Rip and Tear being hitting. There are also 60 instances of Rip and Tear EXECUTE damage. This, according to the patch notes, only happens under 25% HP. This also means the target was getting hit by the sorc class mastery at a minimum rate of 75% chance per damage instance, every 200ms.
Unless I'm misunderstanding how the ability functions, the target was getting parsed on IN EXECUTE. Or is the data somehow faulty?

For example, If I got the Collect 15 Runestones challenge and I'm out of re-rolls for this week but I want to re-roll this challenge for next week, I'm unable to if I accidentally collect 15 Runestones during the week with normal game-play. So until the next week rolls over, I have to be very careful I do not reach 1/6 for that, otherwise I'm stuck with a challenge I do not want to complete.
This is very annoying for someone who randomly loots nodes during game-play because it's fun but not to the amount of 90 of them for each type of node for completion. I also understand that there is plenty of other tome points to be had to unlock every page and this is just an annoyance. But at this moment it feels like I'm being caged from freely looting/farming nodes to my hearts content if I loot below the threshold of 6/6 of these types of challenges and are now stuck with them. And if I get multiples of these type of challenges and not enough luck with my re-rolls, then there is more constriction since again, we cannot delete a specific challenge so we are stuck with it and might be forced to complete it because of the 12 challenge cap to think about.
Just collect freely and let tome points be a natural background consequence of playing the game.
I think more people would feel more comfortable doing this if it weren't for the fact that completing different challenges grants different amounts of tome points. For someone who is trying to maximize tome points, accidentally completing challenges by just playing the game might be a problem.
I do hope they adjust the tome points amounts received from challenges to be equal so that we can just play the game and complete challenges naturally without worrying about it.
One thing is that people are grossly overexaggerating how many points they'll need though. Combine that with the ESO playerbase's general idea of "I need to grind everything as fast as physically possible," and I bet the first Tome switchover will be a real shocker for a lot of people.
People are caught in this loop of "oh, I'm not maxing out my gains!" because they want to get as many points as possible. However, the free track contains about 20k points worth of stuff, which is also the amount needed to get to the bonus pages.
Here's a quick example: I didn't try to minmax my earnings since Tomes started and I ended up with about 7500 after the first 10 days - note that includes the 1000 kills in the newly basegame zones, so let's even call it 6500 from just basic challenges. Over 10 days.
At that rate, since the Season ends in 80 days, I'll end up with around... 52k points.
I'll need... 20k.
So... that's over 30k points that will be discarded.
Don't stress about minmaxing your gains. If you play like we did with Endeavors, you're going to end up throwing out more points than you can spend at the end of the season. The only people who really need to stress about needing to get the highest-value ones are those who are not going to be playing much that season at all, and those people are not the ones to minmax in the first place.
Breton Furnishings Update
While playing on the PTS, I noticed that you updated the textures and models for Breton furniture in Glenumbra - and they look great!
However, I noticed that the player-owned versions of these items still use the old, low-resolution models. Could you explain why these weren't updated at the same time? I think players would really appreciate being able to use these higher-quality models in their own homes as well.

Re: A social issue people are reluctant to bring up
@Athory
I agree. These logs should only be shared by choice. Using them to make people feel bad is not how they should be used.
But the other issue is the ego of raid leads. Luckily I’ve found ones that are lovely & encouraging. Makes a whole world of difference.
(And do occasionally lead myself, so know not to judge on dps alone)
As for toxicity in other areas of the game, the issue is to keep reporting it. But make sure it is genuine toxicity, not just someone expressing an opinion you don’t like.
I also think there needs to be more tolerance & understanding as this is a game played by people all over the world, but uses English as the main language of communication. Sometimes things can get lost in translation.
(I have basic Spanish but if I had to play the game in Spanish I’d be doomed!)

Thought this was going in a completely different direction at first 💀
Re: A social issue people are reluctant to bring up
We regularly review logs in PVP (ball groups) so that we can make sure that things are occurring as we planned. And if they are not -- for example the person wearing spell power cure has horrible uptime on their hots -- we address that and talk about ways to fix it. We don't kick people out, we help them improve. If it continues to be a problem, then at least in my experience, it's more often the player stops signing up for raids rather than the guild removing them. People generally only get kicked out for toxicity in the form of being belligerent to other people in the raid, unwanted advances towards guild members, things like that.
For us at least, the logs are there to help us improve as a group, not for shaming someone for not doing their fair share. All we ask is a willingness to try to improve. And that is what I think ends up being the problem for some people, they see the suggestions being made as a personal attack and they shut down. Granted there absolutely are personal attacks being made in pve pug groups, but if you're in comms with your guild, regardless of pve or pvp, generally speaking there is no ill intent to any suggestions for improvement.
