Re: What will you Vestigitize first?
I'm not looking to make the game any easier, but my time it precious to me, a lot in this game takes way too long to do as it is, so I'm certainly not going to do a dang thing to make trash mobs into damage sponges. The sole result of higher difficultly will be a more tedious game, and if it turns out the rewards for willfully choosing to make one's ESO experience more tedious are anything better than trivial, well, I can't see my enthusiasm for the game increasing.

yeah they should remove this feature because 6 1/2 people on the forums dont like it.

I don’t entirely agree with that, but I’m not thrilled either. I’m more afraid that this—or rather, the DK—is just the beginning of yet another never-ending “balancing” and “improvement” frenzy.
Sometimes it’s better to just leave things that have proven themselves over the years, as they were.
There are currently much more important “areas for improvement” that have opened up for the developers.

From what I'm seeing, it actually seems like the majority agree that the DK should be left alone. 4 people out of probably a hundred calling for nerfs isn't what I would call both enthusiastic approval and deep regret. Its more enthusiastic approval.
The support for the DK speaks for itself. By democracy, people like the route the devs are taking. You can even look at the approval through likes and awesomes on posts supporting the new DK.
I think alot of the complaints about power differences are valid, but they are misdirected and often not taking into account anything besides short-sighted nerf-buff cycles, that everyone and their mother is exhausted from experiencing time and time again in this game for the past decade.
Just let the *** unfold, because at the end of the day, this has kinda always been ESO's weak point, the cycling of nerfs and buffs, that often left some classes unusable for half a year at some points in the past(try using sorcerers before subclassing came out in anything besides a niche pvp use case, it was awful)
The consensus though is clearly very positive reactions to DK. The only negative ones im seeing are people who come from PvP, whom, btw, has always experienced the most imbalanced environment compared to PvE. They could alleviate that problem by making PvP separate instances instead of connecting it with PvE.... you know, something like Vengeance.
Go to cyro then if you think its only like 4 players, text chat is full of players that dont like new dk. And why suggesting Vengeance when most pvpers have rejected it? Each time zos tryed to make Vengeance a thing, cyro gets empty. Dont matter how much players enjoi it, its overpreforming in so many ways. And would the class be so less fun if it was ballanced? Are you so bad of a player that you need a class to carry you instead of relying on your skills to do the job? Oh yeah lets make every class this overpowered like pve aint easy enough like it is. I both pve and pvp but in pve i can at least not use this cheese and pretend it dont exist.
At this rate, I'm not even sure what your argument is because your thoughts are so jumbled up and nonsensical.

(b) THERES MROE THAN WHITE AND NOT WHITE ON THE OUTLINES??? is that why sometimes mammoths attack and sometimes they don't???
(c) I regularly stand in enemy AOE or dodge out of friendly heals because i can't tell the difference
That said, having played MMOs since way back, I will say that changing the color of anything outside text is problematic because there's so many times that another player will use the color, even as simple as "anyone get any purples?" or "stand in the red circle for the next bit". not that it isn't kind of satisfying to be the one giving directions and telling everyone to stand in the "blue one" because you changed your color palette and no one else HAS a blue area on screen. But its unhelpful
But I can get behind high-con and non-color-markers (some of the dungeons have glowing runes (although changing the color s is still rude but at least red yellow blue are reasonably distinct for me))
So "stand in the red circle" is already not accurate, not to mention the fact that not everyone sees colours the same.
Whilst you can change the friendly AoE and enemy AoE colors, there are mechanics that are a consistent color. Orange/Yellow AoEs are stack AoEs. Some start more red and become yellow when enough players are within them (think Siroria flares in Cloudrest, Yoln stacks, first boss of Exiled Redoubt, Blackrose Prison netch/wamasu/etc boss), others stay yellow (think first boss of Scalecaller Peak, the ice AoEs and first boss of Black Gem Foundry). There's also color mechanics like last boss of Black Gem Foundry and Moonhunter Keep.
That said, it's probably more important that people can actually see what's happening than it is to have it be yellow for everyone, I'm sure people can adapt to knowing, say, "blue mechanic = yellow for everyone else".
There are also consistently red mechanics that certainly should be affected by a colorblind mode, I knew a colorblind person who commented on the shock waves Felms drops in Asylum Sanctorium. The waves are red, the ground is yellow, this made it hard for him to see them.

Re: Official Discussion Thread for "Tamriel Tomes Season Zero Developer Update"
"Roll-Over Cap
As the end of a Season transitions to the start of a new one, a maximum of 2,000 Tome Points roll over to the next Tamriel Tome. These Tome Points are available immediately and provide a head start into the new Season."
I was under the impression that, unlike the event tickets that had a limit of 12 tickets, this new currency did not have a limit. But now we hear only 2000 points carry forward to the next season... that items will be auto-purchased with anything beyond that 2000 point limit, regardless if we want them or not.
Why can't I hold on to the points until I see something I want if nothing for that season fits?
And it's worse than that. If you are not paying for premium, then it you have to acquire 20,000 Tomes to unlock items on the last pages. But even if you buy every free item, it will still only cost 15,990 Tomes. With rolling over the extra 2,000 Tomes, that will mean, unless we want to pay to unlock premium, we have to earn an additional 2,010 Tomes that we will never be able to use or keep if there are things on the last page we want.
Why is the rollover cap not equal to the amount of Tomes needed to unlock the last page minus the number of Tomes need to buy everything? In this season, we should be able to rollover at least 4,010 Tomes. Or at least make one of the items with unlimited purchases, like the one for gold, so we don't have to earn something we can never use.

It's pretty bewildering that you guys are going through a whole development effort to make an auto-claimer and gold conversion system, instead of just having a more generous rollover.
This right here. The only rational explanation is money grab, and that is not player friendly.
I do not understand why players want the points to carry over. IF one can earn enough points to purchase everything in the book, why does anyone want extra points? As I see it, pages unlock by earning challenge points, so having extra points at the start of the challenge does not give you options to spend on more desired items at the last pages. By the time you reach the last pages, you have already earned enough new points to purchase everything again.
If the points were allowed to accumulate, later, players will complain that they have thousands of points and nothing to spend them on.
Will you explain your position regarding these statements?
I want points to carry over because I earned them and want to spend them at my discretion. I don’t want to be compelled to spend them in ways I would not normally.
While I can exhaust them, I would like to have the option to buy a higher priority item when it inevitably arrives next season.
There’s more than enough content in these, they’ll get their money, the solution just needs to better respect player agency IMO.

Re: Official Discussion Thread for "Tamriel Tomes Season Zero Developer Update"
Why oh why are you making this so complicated. If you don't want us to hoard tome points just add a final bonus page with rewards that can be claimed infinitely. Could be anything from tri pots to any of the many many currencies already in game. Then I can choose to spend my points on what will be useful for me. I don't want you to auto claim stuff I've already chosen not to claim. That just makes me want to stop engaging with the whole tome as soon as I've claimed the last thing of interest. Which this season is page 4!

Re: Official Discussion Thread for "Tamriel Tomes Season Zero Developer Update"
I agree with those who have been asking for an opt-out on the auto-claim.
I have thus far been buying everything (in the free tier) on each page so far because I figured the tome points would just disappear at the end of the season, but if they are being converted to gold, I would prefer to have a bit more gold (or whatever other currency) than to receive cosmetics I consider ugly and will never use.
