You can have this feature as long as Stage 4 vamps are able to fly.

Why should a werewolf be slower than this? We do not have all the utility that a streak using sorc or subclassed build has with a variety of self and cross heals and shields. We do not have any ranged attacks. We are purely melee. We should be able to close distance and create distance better than any other playable class.
Because why on Earth should a dog be able to run faster than lightning itself? Makes zero sense

Re: Werewolves should exceed Movement Speed Cap
As for increasing WW speed cap, I can see where you're coming from, but this game already has too much speed as it is.
Giving WW a higher baseline speed than non-WW form rather than increasing the cap would probably be more appropriate, so WW doesn't have to look for sources of speed such as Celerity champion perk, medium armor passives, sets, swift jewelry traits, etc. and can focus it's build more on other areas.
Overall though, the game as a whole needs a massive slow down applied across the board. No class/build should be anywhere near the movement speed cap unless sacrificing literally everything to get there, or the class is specifically designed/balanced around it (cast times on heals, fewer mitigation options than other classes, etc.).

Tomes is a new system and ZOS needs to hear everyone's feedback, not just those that enjoy it. And the truth of the matter is a that there are many others that feel the same way the OP does.
Tomes and Golden Pursuits are task lists, not content. And there are too many all at once and some of us would like to do other things with our game time but feel pressured into this.
Others may have different feedback which is fine, and they are free to share that here. But their feedback does not negate the OP's.
Because OP (and you) have a choice to not do the content if it is too frustrating. ZOS is not holding anyone hostage and forcing you to do it. And no, making rewards that nobody’s actually going to use is not forcing anyone to do things; you still have the choice to say “I don’t care to do that.”
OP is asking that this not be available to anyone. That’s the difference.
People are allowed to not do tasks if they don’t want to. But if your plan is “I don’t want to, so make it unavailable to everyone!” then that sounds like you are trying to dictate others based on your personal desires.
I never saw the OP say these things should not be available to anyone, nor have I. But we started with 2 back to back events the same time as Tomes and now a Golden Pursuit and that is too much at once. Just spread them out rather than all at once.
Having a choice whether to do content or not does not change that fact that this is overwhelming to some of us and negatively affects our ability to enjoy other activities.
Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Classes and Abilities
"Warden: This script now causes charmed enemies to walk to the center of the area, rather than to follow the caster. This was done in an effort to try and mitigate the frequency this charm could force enemies through terrain."
This script is absolutely broken in pvp but somehow does nothing in pve.
Size:
This thing is the size of a football field. Literally almost the size of a tower in a keep in Cyrodil. That alone for an AOE CC is broken. Mass Hysteria is 6 meters. Hypnosis is 7 meters but your enemies must be "facing your direction". And that's all that those skills do. You still get two other scripts to play with on this skill. Please reduce the size of this in pvp to that of old Cinder Storm, i.e. 5 meters.
In pve, you can keep the same size but make it actually work. Also, it's great that it "causes charmed enemies to walk to the center of the area" as it might actually be useful for a trash pulls. Basically give it the separate pvp and pve applications that you gave to the Dragonknights Dragon Leap.
Application/Counterplay:
There is currently no counter play to this skill. There is no visual indication that anything has happened to your player. Currently you lose control of your player and jerk around unsure of if your are lagging out or what. This, and all other scribing skills, such as shield throw, knife, etc, need to present some kind of visual indication on your character so that you know that your are CC'ed. Every other CC that I can think of does so. This and other scribing skills need to do so as well. There needs to be counterplay which there currently is not.
Thank you for your consideration.

Re: Can we please have some "down time"?
The OP has a point.
This isn’t just “people overthinking it” — it’s a real, well-understood design strategy used in games and apps.
What’s happening is a mix of a few known psychological effects:
The Zeigarnik Effect — unfinished tasks stick in your mind and create a sense of tension until they’re completed
Loss Aversion — the feeling of missing out is stronger than the reward of gaining something
FOMO — time-limited tasks create pressure even if you don’t really care about the reward
When you stack systems like long grinds + limited-time pursuits + unclear or bugged tracking, you end up with multiple “open loops” sitting in the background.
Even if you consciously think:
“I don’t care about this”
your brain still registers:
“this is unfinished”
And that creates a low-level pressure to go and clear it.
So telling people to “just ignore it” or “snap out of it” misses the point — this is exactly how these systems are designed to work. They rely on normal human behaviour, not lack of willpower.
The result isn’t motivation — it’s fatigue.
You stop choosing what you want to do, and start clearing things just to make the noise go away.
That’s why people are asking for downtime — not less content, just space to actually play on their own terms again.

For me it's simple: Either I find a game/playstyle entertaining by itself, or I don't. If I don't, giving me some "reward" for doing it won't make it more entertaining.
I fully understand that rpgs in general have aspects that might not be the most interesting - like needing to grind for gold, or harvesting mats for crafting. As long as it's just one small thing inbetween things I actually find entertaining (character development/levelling/progression, story content, etc), it's fine. But if it feels like it's just chores, what am I even doing them for?
That's also the reason why the chores in ESO currently feel absolutely pointless to me: They send me out to harvest wood, so I harvest wood, and I get currency. And I might also sell the wood (that I already have masses of in my crafting bag anyway) for gold (which some people also already have masses of and don't really need, though I personally have a use for it through housing at least). But how does that contribute to developing my player character (both when it comes to skills and roleplay-wise)? How does it mean anything? It's just chores for currency, and nothing beyond that.
The more I think about it, it sometimes barely feels like "actually" playing the game, or doing something in Tamriel. People just run after their chores list, randomly shoot 1000 squirrels/hares/birds in Wrothgar to get it done, no matter if their character would actually do that roleplay-wise or have any reason for it. It doesn't give them any progress in their usual playstyle either. It's just about getting it done. Pointless.

Lets be real here.
“Stuff to do” is not the same as “engaging content.” I have plenty of “stuff to do” at home and at work. I call most of it chores.
ESO lately feels like the same thing: chores, but with a timer slapped on and a “special condition” sticker for flavor. It’s basically: Do the thing you’ve done a thousand times for years… but now with a progression bar to see number go up.
And then there’s ZOS with their new favorite word they mention 50 times in every stream: “rewaaaaaaaaaaaaaards.”
I am curious what the Night Market brings, though. Maybe it’ll feel fresh. Maybe it’ll feel original. Or maybe it’ll be yet another round of repackaged, refurbished, and reheated but now you get a rewarded for it. We’ll see.
But so far it all is exactly how shrinkflation went in other games I played over the years.

I think I'd disagree on this. The only parts of the game which absolutely cater to single-player are the Main Quest, the two guild stories, and solo arenas. There might be a quest or two in there somewhere among the ~2500 in the game which go to solo instances at some point, but the rest of the game supports either approach.
