Re: Big Ozur Gives Up
I think I know what the issue was. It was not showing or updating the damage(on the boss healthbar) Mirri Elendis(Companion NPC) was doing.
I fought it again today, and it takes about the same time(around 4minutes) to kill it fully with its health going down consistently and more quickly but this time with the damage numbers showing from Mirri's hits. Another player did arrive at the end it was already near death but since it was already almost dead it shows that with the same character, skills, gear, and everything that it dies about the same time in this one too.
I didn't have any damaging proc sets or anything. I have Bloodlords Embrace Mythic, Dolorous 5 pieces, Cyrodiils Crest 5 pieces, and 1 piece Baron Thirsk for recovery.
Also my UI was base game I think not from an addon, I do have Combat Metrics but that only adds the little black box that shows the dps, time in combat, and stuff. I also have pChat for the time in the chat and Comps world boss timer which shows the cooldown when the boss will respawn after it is defeated. In the base game combat settings of the Game Settings I have everything as Always On.
Here is the new video showing that taking about the same time it dies regularly:

Also, thank you for all your comments! Some were great comedy and others were of great concern!

Re: Future of ESO on Xbox. Account Transfer
If Xbox consoles shut down, ZOS better have a way to transfer real money purchases even if they can't transfer characters and progression.
Xbox is not shutting down entirely, though its strategy is shifting, with a decreased emphasis on console hardware and a greater focus on becoming a multiplatform service for games. While there are rumours and some consolidation within studios, Microsoft has confirmed there are no plans to cancel Xbox consoles and that the brand will continue into the future, likely with new hardware possibly by 2027.
Continued Access to Games: You can still access and play your purchased Xbox games and digital content.
New Consoles Likely: Despite the shifts in strategy, it is anticipated that new Xbox consoles will be released, possibly by 2027, continuing the console hardware tradition.
Access to Xbox Services: Xbox services and the Game Pass ecosystem are expected to continue, but with a broader reach across different platforms.
You really trust MS statements about the future of their brand?
I mean it was also said the Activision purchase wouldn't cause any price increase.
I invested loads of money Into ESO and I just want to know what happens with all these stuff if MS suddenly decides to shut Xbox down.
Is it still safe to invest into assets? Are those purchases I made safe? Will those be gone?
Cause to me it seems no one actually had an answer to my question.
I hate to break it to you, but nobody's purchases are safe. Digital purchases are only rented at best. There were many times in the past I'd "bought" digital copies of movies only for the provider to vanish into thin air and it's the same principle. Any or all of the servers could close at any time. At the more extreme end of the scale they can permaban and delete accounts practically on a whim and how much you've spent in the past really isn't a factor.
Buying things in a game isn't an investment

Re: PTS Update 48 - Feedback Thread for New Item Sets
MashmalloMan wrote: »Huntsman's Warmask - good change, but 20% is a bit too much. Compare that to Malacath's 16%, which comes with a major downside reducing its damage output. Warmask's downside is very minor by comparison. Looking at PvP, as it stands, this mythic is now more powerful than Monomyth (+20% damage > +20% crit damage). It's very easy to apply, has a short cooldown and a long duration with the only downside being that it can be cleansed (which is only relevant against builds that have a cleanse in the first place).
As it stands I think Malacath could probably use a buff up to 20% (the reason Malacath was nerfed down to 16% was because proc sets had high damage and couldn't crit anyway. Now many of them deal lower damage but can crit, which made Malacath weaker, so there is room to buff it).
For Warmask, either increase the cooldown or lower the bonus to 15%, which would bring it more in line with Velothi in PvE too.
Monomyth has no realistic downside and crit damage is addative, not multiplicative,
Additive boosts are LESS effective at increasing something than multiplicative boosts.
Additive reductions are MORE effective at reducing something than multiplicative reductions.
Additive Boost: 1 + 20% + 20% = 1.4
Multiplicative Boost: 1*1.2*1.2 = 1.44
1.44>1.4
Additive Reduction: 1 - 20% - 20% = 0.6
Multiplicative Reduction: 1*.8*.8 = 0.64
0.6<0.64
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.
