Re: Surveys: Please let us simultaneously harvest multiples of the same survey
I think the only issue they might have is if you have say 3x of a survey and you're harvesting nodes, making each node x3 resources. Ok fine do all 6 survey nodes in 6 actions and have it be the equivalent of 24. What happens if you run out of inventory space mid-run? Once you tag the first node you'll have consumed all 6 and you'll be leaving a lot more on the ground.
That said there has to be a better reset mechanism than riding half way across the map (looking at you Shadowfen clothier survey).
Or if they went with the "all at once" suggestion a simple inventory check before you start ought to be enough. Totally agree with the above that actually doing surveys is tedious.

Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Class Mastery
Stamsorc and magsorc will 100% be the 2nd or at least 3rd strongest spec in the game after this patch goes live, guaranteed. We gaming now fellas
And this is a sin? Sorc can only be abided when it's last or 2nd last? I do not see the issue here. Good it's finally playable with good emphasis again.
Until you fight 40k+ HP sorcs that proc Blood Magic every GCD with a 4.4 - 4.7k tooltip. Then you’d wish this passive never went live in that state.
I personally think that passive needs to proc off Sorc abilities only, but what can I do? ZOS has the final say.
@hoangdz
I don't hate this and I think it's fine for right now because Sorc hasn't had their refresh yet.
Remember, we have to compete with the whole scope of subclassed builds, that includes BOTH Stam Sorc & Mag Sorc and whilst Stam Sorc has the clear advantage if we nerf the passives then Mag Sorc gets tossed into the back seat again.
I've been a proponent that these passives need to deliver pretty strongly because Sorc skill slotting is so poor in a pure class context, especially in PvP.
Given the power creep that we've seen out of the subclassed crit metas in PvP I think this is fine. Leave it for now and then adjust accordingly during the Sorc refresh.
Sorcs may have gained solid sustain here but they still have garbage skills in the grand scheme of combat .. We still have no target mobility debuff, our go-to mobility skill has less range than other class abilities and poor follow up, we have no reliable spammable heavy burst.
Plus, there's a slew of other class skills that deliver a heal component with their spammable damage output so the Sorc passives help align us in that perspective with those other skills in an a by proxy way. We're still very much lacking so this is needed right now.

Re: Sorc nerfs are too heavy handed
I posted this on another thread but the pets should be put on a world line of summoning and go pet less as a class. So tired of the fight about it and needing to run them to attempt real damage. They’re also annoying in group content visually.
Also don’t disagree about the damage ceiling but until they nerf the arcanist the 170m parse isn’t going anywhere, so other classes need to match that.

Re: Update 50 PTS – Week 2 Summary
Empower [Feedback]: Thanks to many of the discussions and breakdowns of popular use cases, we’re making some adjustments to the values for certain effects that saw a reduction in power after the combat calculation changes with Damage Done to Monsters. Most of these are not huge bumps in power that immediately make them as strong as they were in all cases (since the loss of power is still highly subjective to many factors) but should help them feel more competitive with other bonuses. Empower is the most notable increase, going from 70% to 100% - but will come with a stipulation that the damage bonus will no longer apply while the effect holder has Battle Spirit, to correct some of the extreme damage possible against players in PvPvE situations. We are also not increasing every bonus, namely Velothi, as its power offered is still quite dense even after the changes.
Emphasis mine but... Heavy Attack builds aren't welcome in PvEvP areas now?
Empower is basically the only reason Heavy Attack builds function because... as you know, it has a outrageously massive buff to damage vs PvE monsters. Oakensoul release was an easy way to have 100% uptime, so it was basically the base build... now there's Rakkat's Voidmantle for +50%, but it's harder to use due to swapping resource restore method. Stacking them is the absolute peak of heavy attack damage at present.
Remove Empower from Imperial City, and Heavy Attack builds are completely gutted for an area full of PvE mobs... is the interaction with players not ideal? Of course. But how often does this edge case actually happen? 1/50 encounters in Imperial City? Cryodiil Guards get exploded by all players, so it's hardly based around them. And even when it does rarely happen, the Heavy Attack build is pretty much fodder into PvP content... the absolute BEST[ one can do is deliberately try to bait a player into being atop a NPC when your final heavy attack tick goes off. If not, you get jumped and die pretty much without resistance. Even if you DO kill them, they're not going to stand atop a NPC next time.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't this already been addressed with multiple nerfs to Lightning Heavy Attacks already? They used to splash damage for every single tick, now it's only the final tick. Wasn't that for the same damn reason? Almost all your damage is single target unless mobs are high enough HP for the heavy to fully complete AND they have to be all clumped together. I don't see any sign those changes are being undone, this is just being dumped on top. I won't even touch upon the 'bugged' multiplicative damage being adjusted so it's getting weaker as a whole.
All in all, I would've considered PvP Zone Empower to be the lowest of the low issues to focus on. Subclassing is even stronger, it's not being adjusted. Why can a Arcanist/Templar/Nightblade beamblitz through Imperial City, but my heavy attack damage is being gutted? The extremely oppressive PvP builds are apparently fine (Charm removes all character control, all you did was try to fix it bugging people through terrain). Is the new small-scale PvP area full of hundreds of clumped mobs or something where Heavy Attack builds are gonna dominate or something?
What's the rationale here?

Re: PC Community Concerns About Cross Play
Chat GPT would side with the PC Master Race...
That’s the kind of throwaway line people use when they disagree but don’t actually have anything to add. It’s basically the forum version of an “‑ist” name calling and acting like that somehow settles the discussion.
It’s an immature shortcut, dismissive, overly simple, and not even trying to engage with the actual points being made.
And honestly, I can just picture the smug little “mic‑drop” smile behind it, like a toddler calling someone a doody‑pants in an adult conversation because you disagree but don’t have the words to explain why.

Re: Returning Player - New Content Structure
There isn't any new content yet. We're going to get a temporary "event zone", like a festival with its own map, soon. Some time after that we're going to get a quest chain, which I think will be permanent. But no new zones or dungeons or big story arcs have been announced, just little bits and pieces occasionally.

Problem is, a lot of players using the forums aren't native English speakers, and use AI to help create a post in their non-native language.
Re: Why is Naj-Caldeesh so grossly overtuned in normal?
I have no horse in this race but I wanted to share that it’s interesting… there are complaints about having fake tank speedrunners but with a dungeon that pushes having a tank, the dungeon is said to be too hard. I have quit a normal naj on 2nd boss because the tank was fake, leading to me dying to the cone. Now granted, one dungeon punishing fake tanks just means people will leave on entry. It’d take more dungeons punishing fake tanks and even then, people will still leave, just maybe at a lower rate.
