Re: Why am I seeing so many dps with banner bearer?
The most common setup now is magic damage (increases direct damage by 6%) and class script that generates a crux evey 5 seconds. Though, in the upcoming patch this will be nerfed into only generating a crux if you have none. The 3rd option is entirely up to what your character needs, but for most is major savagery.

Re: 2025 new Companions ?
tomofhyrule wrote: »but I don’t think werewolf would work that well since the Companion’s ultimate is the last skill they unlock and they’d need to be in human form to use the weapon/guild skills. If anything, they might just have a temporary werewolf transformation like the Bone Colossus ult for necros and leave it at that, maybe allowing you to do “claw swipes” in human form.
Here's a mockup I made a while back of two different approaches one could take for facilitating the transformation:
The left side has the Companion's Werewolf ultimate be a 2nd Ultimate in a different skill line, allowing the player to pick between their Class Ultimate or their Werewolf Ultimate.
The right side has the Companion's transformation be a Passive Ability. In the thread where I discuss this mockup, I say that the Companion might automatically transform when below a certain Health threshold (like certain werewolf NPCs do) or whenever the player themselves uses Werewolf Transformation.
In either case, Werewolf is a separate bar and needs 5 skills rather than 3 to fill it. A Companion will never use Werewolf skills in human form, and obviously we want this Companion to still have a Class and human form abilities, so they shouldn't automatically transform when combat starts. Further, this won't affect the Justice System at all, because Zerith-var's illegal Necromancer ability does not, either.

Maybe I was just unlucky but my first quests were a "revelry" in a tent and a sloth in a hat ones, I'm not sure I can proceed further as my patience for such things is paper thin now. If they thought that making everything and everyone goofy and dumb is the quirky and modern way of story telling I'll let them be and will be doing something else instead, that's definitely not what I was expecting even with my lower than ground expectations. That might just be two worst examples that I've just stumbled upon randomly but for some reason it makes me think other parts aren't that different. Thought of doing the main quest vanished quite quickly after that.
@colossalvoids
I also disliked those two quests (and the other Sanguine quest in that overland circus in the North-West of the island). I'd say the rest is better than those three, at least.
You might want to give Corelanya Manor a try. Just follow the road leading South from Sunport. The orc sisters that accompany you through the quest were a little annoying (from my personal point of view), but the background story of that quest itself was rather beautiful. I just ignored the sisters' talking, and then, I truly liked that story. It's tragic, it's not that clichéd, the whole story's feel is basically "early 19th century dark romanticist novel". It has a classic literature feel to it.

Re: Normal for Gray Host now?
Seems like competitive ESO attracts some players who couldn't hack it in those games, like beating your opponents by cheesing broken mechanics is the appeal of casual PvP with a build system, over a ranked esport. It burns me out to fight against that crap so much, even more when I realize how many of my wins are just me doing it myself.Urzigurumash wrote: »not smallscale Instagibbing, people play CoD for that, not timing insane combos, we have Soul Cal for that

Can't we all just enjoy the game and treat each other respectfully?

Yeah riddle me this. How is one part of the combat team pushing for vengeance testing and we need to cut the fat and complicated code out of the game............. Then the other part of the combat team is coming up with more and more sets or skills like that. Seriously how many parts does that one set have?
Recovery Convergence:
- Checks for in combat, don't worry you are always in combat because there are no blanket purge mechanics in the game
- Checks for overhealing
- Builds up stacks to 100khp, does this check group overheals?
- Gives a self synergy which can lead to more checks
- Triggers synergy passives which can lead to more checks
- Then it does an Aoe check for group members
- Then it gives resources which can lead to more checks for the whole group
- Then it has a cooldown mechanic
Yeah, again I can't imagine why there are server performance issues.
Re: Nightblade balance - Move "Grim Focus" to Shadow; Move "Blur" to Assassination
Nb would be better off if assassins will was just removed entirely. Nb could have cool playstyles if it wasn't eclipsed and pigeonholed into a gimmicky proc every 5s.
At the very least the assassins will proc should be at the same level as other timed burst being around 1.6 to 1.8 DMG/wd ....... currently it is at an unholy 2.15 DMG/wd while being extremely low cost, ranged, and granting an entire class load of passives.

Re: Bring Back Mages Recall For 10 Year Anniversary Crown Pack
There can be other portal recall actions. But please don't return the pre-order bonuses ever! These are some of the very few items which still have collector's value in this gameTime-limited pre-order bonuses in the only reason to purchase chapters/content pass early and at full price. If any of those items return, there would be no reason to buy chapters until they are on 65% discount or lower.
I also used to buy those 8000 crowns 25 crate packs for special items contained in them (they were promised to not be available in any other way). But recently two crate seasons returned and had those special items available for 8000 Seals of Endeavors... It made at least 16 000 of my spent crowns go to waste, because I would not buy those crate packs if those items were available for Seals from the very start
Also, if I'm not mistaken, Carnival crates had special polymorph available for Seals too. This unfair decision seems to be reverted, as new crate season doesn't allow to buy special item for Seals. But I no longer trust this content model
Only pre-order items remain truly unique so far, but it can be easily ruined by releasing even one of those items again.
Just because you're a whale and ready to spend huge amounts of whatever currency is used in your country doesn't mean we must follow your example or it's even healthy to do so. There are countries where some laws exist against lootboxes, and there's a good reason for it.
If you want to spend much money, go in a casino please, we're talking about videogames and digital contents, not actual treasures. It's understandable to pay for some of these contents, and it's also enjoyable to know that we sometimes have the chance to win them through actual gaming.
