Re: Multiclassing needs serious balancing. (edited rant)
Subclassing would require actually making something new, unfortunately that didn’t align with their goals, apparently.I still can't believe they called it "subclassing" when it is clearly multiclassing...
How cool actual subclassing would be though
Re: Need an Antiquities furnishing lead vendor.
You can get four leads per week - two different leads from the Imperial City vendor, and two from one of the vendors in Infinite Archive.
That said, I agree. Some repeat leads are almost impossible to get - I’m looking at you West Weald! - and the ability somehow to purchase a lead (or even increase your chances of having the lead drop) would be really welcome.
Right now RNG for leads seems unnecessarily nasty.

Re: Multiclassing needs serious balancing. (edited rant)
I'm in a small PVE guild that focuses on DLC HM/trifecta dungeon and trial achieves. I miss seeing non-beam DPS in groups, and many of our members voice the same. I miss seeing cool class abilities that I'm sure dozens of developers and artists worked on for years. Such a waste. The monotony of beam beam beam beam beam beam beam beam beam beam beam beam beam beam beam.....................................................please Alkosh, make it stop.
I miss a bunch of players who left the game when muliclassing was released. They didn't leave for seasonal reasons or all the other off-topic excuses some people uselessly left as comments. Such a waste. I only play one character, she used to be a Sorcerer, super fun for me, but now I have to use a bunch of skills that don't fit the mindset/theme I want when I play the game, what is my character now? Why can't pure classes be on par with multiclasses, or, *gasp*, even slightly superior in some situations?!?!?!
I'm still playing, I'm still having fun, but it's because of the people I raid with. I wish ZOS would care about this, but I've lost faith.

Re: We need a dwemer dlc
DO NOT EVER SOLVE THIS MYSTERY
That's honestly a lot of the fun of the Dwemer is that there are countless theories and each is more bizarre than the next. Each game in the series has had people researching them, and I don't want to ever see that fun mystery to end. If they solve it, then they fun and mystery goes away and we're left with nothing.
Having said that...
ABSOLUTELY play with them in ESO. You don't need to solve the mystery to give us more tantalizing tidbits into their lore.
As I said, there are researchers in every game on the Dwemer and their artifacts - in ESO we have the Vanos twins, Neramo, Revus Demnevanni, and Tharayya all deeply connected to delving into the Dwemer and even using their devices. Heck, one of the first quests we have on Stros is helping Neramo and his brother who nobody remembers to build some automata. We've got loads of Dwemer delves and dungeons all over the world, and there's a lot they could play with on that route.
The thing I want most in this game is an Artificer Class. It's is totally lore appropriate to have a character build and use Automata (as stated, we literally see Neramo and Tharayya using them in game), or play with their grenades and traps (there are NPC enemies who use alchemical grenades already, and the traps are all over the place), or to get into Tonal Architecture. I think the last one is most intheresing since we haven't seen much delving into Tonal Architecture much save the Revus quests in ESO and some of the tidbits in the Morrowind main questline, and that would really lead into a lore-friendly way to give that Bard line that a lot of people want to borrow from D&D. Plus, with Subclassing, adding an Artificer Class like that means that existing characters can also just pick up those lines at will, or we can choose to make a brand new character (considering the amount of 'new character' stuff we keep getting in the daily logins) who is able to use all of it at once.
Not to mention that a New Class would totally be something people would buy, especially after a lot of people got burned by the price of Solstice compared to the amount of content. And there was a fair amount of grumbling at Arcanist being 'not lore appropriate' since we haven't seen those skills ever, but we have absolutely seen Dwemer stuff useable in previous TES games before.
Do it ZOS - Artificer Class. I will buy the next Season Pass sight unseen if that's the only thing that's included.

Re: Red Skill Style for Resolving Vigor
every skill that has skill styles right now should have, at least, red & orange & yellow & green & blue & violet options IMO.
Re: Multiclassing needs serious balancing. (edited rant)
[snip] The only ones to blame are those who don't see anything but the meta and force others to use it, but I'll tell you a secret: TESO isn't about the meta. It's about the uniqueness of characters. And the more opportunities there are for diversity, the more likely it is that you'll find the most effective one. Are the developers to blame? No, because balance is impossible. [snip] The division into classes didn't allow you to be who you wanted to be. When will you understand what this game is about, stop aiming for the meta! Play for fun and collect what you want to be.
it WAS about the uniqueness of characters, and classes but that is simply not the case anymore. You're calling it an opportunity for diversity, I'm calling it an arms race to a single, wildly overpowered conclusion. Also, we definitly aren't talking about the same part of the game. "Choose the meta over their identity..."? are you serious? what identity? all the class lore? bunk. Balance is not impossible, it just clearly hasn't been a priority. We used to trial with almost all the classes involved, involved now, what's a class even?
You trial with 11 other people. I can't make decisions for them, they can play with whatever the game allows. MY complaint is that you can't ask a community that is pushing on the hardest content in game to just ignore powerful tools that are in game. If YOU want to make an orc sorcden who only eats stamfood and casts high cost magikka abilities while wearing a Dark seducer sword and board, go right ahead. But that is not the content I'm here to address. Stop telling me the rules of the game aren't significant and I can just do whatever I want. that's what YOU want. That's not what I want. If you don't want to find the limit of what the game provides, that's cool, you don't have to. But when we take away from all the players that are trying for trifectas and score, when we take real parameters and just throw them out the window and say 'just mash up all the most significantly powerful things we've ever offered in whatever way you see fit' I would say that is a seismic change in the fabric of the game, and truly deprives the endgame community of some of the challenges it came here for. Being able to just stand in bad and beam through it isn't good play, its ignoring mechs and just standing still. Did we think Arcanist was underpowered? just needed to give that little boost? it's insane.
"Hey guys, you know that class that was utterly dominating the scoreboards for a couple patches? we think it should be able to equip Assasination passives, you know for balance."
Be whoever you want to be, but stop saying I should give up the way I PLAY THE GAME to be you. I don't want that. Also, before multiclassing, I had never heard a single person mention it as something they thought the game really really needed. It's just throwing crap at a wall because you don't want to do creative hard work.

Re: Your Play Experience b/t Update 45 and Update 46 with Subclassing and Scribing In Base Game
I will never understand why people blame Subclassing for poorly balanced skill lines.
Even without Subclassing, everyone played an Arcanist in PvE, and either a Sorcerer, Warden, or Nightblade in PvP.
The same people that don’t want to play with you if you’re not using certain skill lines, are the same ones that expected you to fully level a new character and farm out skill points to play a specific class in the first place, and if it’s exhausting to fight the same three classes on repeat I agree. This has been a problem, not one that came with Subclassing.

Re: Need an Antiquities furnishing lead vendor.
I agree with everything said here. Leads can be a big pain to drop. At the very least, we could get one that lets us buy duplicate leads so we only have to find them once.

Almost like I've said a thousand times, people who complain don't even know what they want or what they are complaining about.
Smaller target caps don't benefit solo players, they benefit large groups. That's just common sense.
How is that common sense when the large groups can't heal all their group members effectively? Vengeance is made to incentivize people to stop grouping in such large amounts and branch out. That's common sensePlayers just refuse to strop grouping.
They don't need to heal all their group members effectively if the players trying to damage them can't choose who they're damaging.
Heals in Vengeance are, for the most part, targeted heals or smart heals. That means you're either manually selecting low health players or the game is selecting low health players for you.
AoE Damage skills in Vengeance are simply choosing 3 players at random. There is no way to focus the low health pockets of players with AoE skills, which heavily incentivises stacking in a zerg.
The attacking solo player will spam their AoE skills and damage people at random, while the Zerg will spam AoE heals and heal only the people that need it the most.
Let's say you're in a small man trying to bomb a Zerg. Your 4 man group perfectly lines up your ultimates and skills right on top of a zerg, except you don't kill anyone because the game decided that each person in your group should damage different players in the zerg at random. The zerg spams AoE heals like the Necro corpse heal, and suddenly all the people that took damage are back up to full because only the people that needed healing were healed.
To actually incentivise solo/small man, heals should be capped and damage skills should be uncapped OR AoE damage skills should prioritize low health targets the same way that AoE heals do.
You are just lying to try to win a point. The AoE targeting on damage isn't random. I know you mainly play BGs but you can at least be truthful in what you're saying. This is why everything on the forums gets ignored when people complain, they just lie about how the game functions.
Who's lying here? That's exactly how it works. This is one of the main gripes with vengeance and why it is so zerg friendly. You can coordinate aoe ult dumps with a group but you hardly kill anyone because of this very reason. Everyone else hits different targets, even your skills hit different targets, then they just heal up. It's completely useless against zergs. How can you burst down targets if most targets are immune to a lot of your damage because of caps?

If you were interested in people customizing their choices in the comments, why didn't you offer an "Other. Please explain in the comments" option like many other poll creators do? Or why not just simply ask the question, rather than creating a poll?
Anyway, beating a dead horse, but I don't like polls that are designed to push people into one extreme or the other, like this one clearly was.
