I dont agree, subtitles fine but anything beyond english voice over I think is a huge waste of resources that is better spent on more content and quality control
This community is so weird about Oakensoul. I genuinely don't understand why the naysayers don't get it: it's not about meta, it's not about "being better," it's not about efficiency, it's about having fun! Even accessibility aside, you can throw on Oakensoul and LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE and have a workable build that will get you through normal content. Funny sounding set you're picking up while questing? Try it out with Oakensoul, nothing to lose. Subclassing giving you a headache and you just want to mix and match and try things out without sitting on a parse dummy all day? Oakensoul! "Oh but you can get XYZ buffs from all these other sources" ok? I don't want to cast Ulfsild's every ten seconds or whatever. I don't want to buy a new DLC. I don't want neon green arcanist skills polluting my eyes. In fact I kind of hate the visual effects of most buff skills and Oakensoul lets me actually enjoy the aesthetics of my characters! Themed builds and aesthetic skill sets and all kinds of PvP shenanigans are made so much easier (and more fun, imo) with Oakensoul.
Also, 100% uptime minor heroism is no joke, especially in PvP where you're never out of combat.
Meta and endgame etc is its own consideration, but the vast majority of players don't give a single hoot about veteran content, and when they do, then people can be pushy about what they're running when playing video game.
You get a definite agree from me on this point. However content naming confusion is not new for ESO. I've lost count of the posts where the player didn't understand the difference between Upgrade and Collection, thought "Deluxe" was additional content, thought the Collection was "all the DLC", that ESO Plus included everything, and similar issues. "Read the product description" does not apparently play well with a lot of consumers. It would be so much nicer if the descriptions were clear about not only what goes with the purchase, but what does not go with the purchase.
I was ready to rage quit the game after the dumpster fire called Update 35. In desperation I decided to try Oakensoul before quitting. I fell in love with it and decided to stay with ESO. Now, every one of my characters uses Oakensoul and I don't ever see that changing - tank, healer, dps - all of them. The primary reason I love Oakensoul (as a solo PvE player) is to avoid the micromanagement of buffs. While I do have a couple HA lightning staff builds, several of my builds are not HA. That said, even for a non-HA build, an Oakensoul HA is actually an effective 'skill' that has the added bonuses of no skill slot required, solid damage and a nice return on resources.
