Re: Class Identity Refresh for Sorc and Warden
A martial and a magical element type for each class is my strong preference. I think that's a good balance between diversity and not having damage types be totally all over the place. For Warden, I hope they consolidate damage types into Frost/Bleed, or Frost/Poison would also make sense (especially poison on damage morphs of Green Balance skills). More options for engaging with the class power fantasy in slightly different ways is always nice.

While I have not done a full build on PTS for a very long time, I have log into PTS to make sure things works on Linux.
To make full build far easier, a full template character should have full collections(sticker book) AND full crafting bag. This is so one can just go to the transmute station and create the build they need right there and then without having to dig though coffers/containers for about an hour looking for that one item missing from there new build.
I decided to make an addon to help with it, as I also struggle to find things A LOT. It is on approval at the moment; you can find it on ESOUI. It will be available in Minion after approval on ESOUI.
At the moment, you can
- filter items with text search
- press right mouse button and choose to automatically retrieve item
Second feature is not stable yet tho
To build this I spend ~2 hours to open (automatically! Manually it would take days probably) all containers and build a database and tree of all available items. Container CD is 1 second and there are a lot of containers
I will make it stable eventually, and ideally, if this addon and QoL improvement will be in demand, I think it is possible to integrate it with Super Star or Wizard's Wardrobe to automatically retrieve all items for build.

Re: [accessibility request] a List of strobing/flashing effects occurrences.
I mentioned this last time it got brought up but I don’t even think the hard mode scrolls (at least) should be a toggle, it should just be changed to not flash white at all, the purpose it serves can be done in a way that makes more thematic sense (a slow red pulse with Evil Sounds or magic shooting to the boss or something). I don’t have photosensitivity and I play in a bright room and it still hurts sometimes, I presume because the dungeons appear dark and perhaps the sudden flash of light mimics getting blinded by a flashlight whilst in a dark room?

Re: Is ESO in French over? ESO en français c'est fini ?
Hi all, wanted to follow up here to clarify the missing French tag on the website. We removed French language from the game info on the website due to Update 47, 48, and 49 not having VO support, but are continuing all in-game text French localization.
I think it really behooves you guys to explain why. What happened that an entire language was removed from portions of the game? I'm not a Francophone, but looking at this as a customer, it feels like the full story isn't being communicated. That's not on you, but more on the overall situation.

Re: Selling the solution: why the crafting bag and additional storage shouldn’t be paywalled
One of the main reasons why I cannot get people to stay with the game, is that “convenience” is monetized.
Re: PTS Update 49 - Feedback Thread for Combat Refresh: Dragonknight
Well the dragonfire is clearly busted
and this is not even the highest one, because if you optimize for this bug i wouldnt be suprised to see 350k+ parsesBut when proper using it (without triggering the bug) on full DK setup and just playing a quite simular rotation to arcanist beam setup it performs also the same arround this 135-145k damage.
ll do some more testing later this week with setups & ability's like magma fist / molten whip, then ll post my thoughts and verdict.

Re: Selling the solution: why the crafting bag and additional storage shouldn’t be paywalled
For their bank account, of course it was. They made bank. But at some point practices like this catches up to a company, as can be seen by dwindling player numbers.
Of course it's for their bank account. ZOS is a business.
I doubt players are leaving due to not having access to the craft bag. I've seen a lot of "I left because..." and "I hardly play anymore..." threads over the past few years. I've yet to see someone post they're leaving because they don't have the craft bag.
Having said that, I'm sure some new players who've tried the game have left because of frustration with inventory. However, I'm also sure that some new players have subbed to ESO+ to avoid the frustration. Like it or not, the craft bag is functioning as designed. ZOS is a business, not a charity. If someone is frustrated with inventory, they can deal with it by subscribing. If they don't want to pay to ease the frustration, that's their decision.
No matter how you spin it, the inventory IS A BARRIER, and ZOS has monetized a problem they designed to exist. In my case, I’m not a new player, but I have periodically taken long breaks. Most recently I came back from a 4+ year break, my number one issue was my inventory. I was gone during hybridization, subclassing, etc, and my number one complaint was inventory. That is a problem.
I literally couldn’t transfer gear from player to player, even after I crafted stuff for them. I had to sub just to get stuff together and get up to par with the game.
*and it really shouldn’t be our jobs to come up with an ethical monetary solution for ZOS to replace the terrible format they’ve sold us for all these years.

Please revisit some lead drops!
I find it unreasonable to put so many leads in the treasure map chests. There is no way (that i know of) to farm specific are's treasure maps. I have spent so much gold for trying to get the lead that only drops from those. What fun is in a system that you can't effect one way or another. For 4months I didn't buy any maps to those areas I need the leads from. Played the game. Got 1..1! map. I gave in and been hunting the silly maps from traders for a week now. I might spot 2-4 maps a day (not gonna be glued to the screen for the whole day) and no lead. Please remove leads from the treasure maps chests. There is absolutely no need for you to make us suffer with rng that we have to basically invest gold into.

Re: Solo Dungeons will Kill the MMO.
MorallyBipolar wrote: »Less effort should lead to smaller rewards. And no effort should result in no rewards. (story mode should not give any rewards)
If the difficulty of a dungeon is scaled to the number of people in the group, then the effort will be the same, no?
And doing something in a group doesn't mean it's challenging. I've found it to be the opposite. I expend less effort when doing a group dungeon with a group, than I do when doing the same group dungeon solo.
Anyway, this attitude of "Solo means no effort and no challenge," and group means, "huge effort, huge challenge," and "let's deny solo players rewards" is an ugly one that I'm not going to spend any more time engaging with. It's already been covered in the thread, anyway.

Chibicosmos wrote: »Why not leave Standard of Might alone and simply give shifting standard the rework?
Shifting was rarely used in PvE because Standard of Might was significantly better, and overperforming.
Now the damage Standard, Shifting, is comparable to other AoE ultimates, and still pulls out ahead. Except you also have Take Flight and Corrosive for PvE DPS now too.
What you guys echoing Skinny fail to understand, is that Standard is the only source of Major Defile in PvP that can not be purged, and you guys might not understand the value in that for group PvP.
You’re suggesting the removal of a skill for which we can not replace. While you guys can throw on Atronach, or any other AoE damage ultimate and replicate Standard of Might.
Just because you haven’t seen a weaker morph for PvE in PvE, does not mean that we have not been using Shifting Standard in PvP this whole time and once again, this reads as a PvE vs PvP issue, where PvE only players want their cake and to eat it too.
Truly exhausting.
