Re: Update 50, Season Zero Features

Is this per character or account? Is 50 dailies per character something players were in danger of hitting, if it was per toon? Does it just mean all dailies would vanish or not be acceptable? This is fascinating to me. On one hand, if per character, the endurance needed to break 50 dailies on a single toon is wild. If it's per account, with 20 possible toons, you're cooked on crafting writs alone. Why was there a limit to begin with.
It is per character.
I've also never heard of anyone getting in danger of hitting it, and I've been playing for years and can grind a lot (CP 3600 by now). There might be people having this problem if they saved 25 dailies before Jubilee, handed them in at the start and then did 25 more dailies this day, but let's be honest, the people that are this committed have far more than 1 character they do this on, so when they hit the cap they just move on to the next toon.
Way more QOL would have been to increase the amount of quests your journal can hold. Like, double it. But even an increase of 10 or less would be great.
Good DK buff
Since when is 8-9k DPS the norm? This was a 9k DPS duel over 4 minutes, with both of us stalemating. Pyrebrand and Wildfire doing 2.6k combined DPS. If I wasn't on a Sorc camping 4 HoTs I would have died in 20 seconds. My DPS was abysmally low compared to his because I had to play defense for the majority of the fight just to survive from the multiple instances of damage procs:
Another screenshot:
16.9k damage was from Molten + Heart of Flame, and the other 10.6k came from just DoTs/status effect procs/proc sets. All of this happened in 1 second.
Pyrebrand's synergy with the Wildfire passive needs to be seriously reconsidered. Both the set and this passive have the ability to proc twice in a second. This results in free, unhealthy damage procs like these:
In the screenshot above, Pyrebrand and Wildfire did a combined 7635 "burst" damage in 0.5s to someone with 33k resists and 3 defensive CPs. This is not healthy at all lol

Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Combat Refresh: Werewolf
Well again I'm actually defending WW here and this is part of the reason. To do 8k dps vs WW meta build I pre buff, unload the ranged half of my rotation before the WW can touch me, tag with melee hits and Streak stun away before they can counter, knife throw from midrange where WW still can't hit me, close in for lethal melee damage with BfB or MDW.Dueling is only PART of PvP. People need to be testing in other parts of PvP as well to get a better idea of what actually is and isn't a problem. What seems overpowered in dueling could turn out to hit like wet tissue when there are more than one enemy against a WW.
What this means for open world: WW will rip apart players who sit still trying to mash their face into their heal button, but struggle against multiple ranged attackers, especially Sorcs, who can pretty much press Streak twice and now the WW does 0 dmg to them, a weakness so glaring that I could exploit it to do 8k dps (which is very high and not normal dueling dps).
@Alchimiste1 maybe new info can change my mind but I really don't think you need to worry about WW taking over. It's not god mode and its tactics are limited in OW situations. Like you said, I barely play this game, yet I could consistently beat 40k hp WW on 34k hp StamSorc. How come you draw the line at WW and not at Animal Assassins, machine gun range Sorcs, oops all DKs, etc...
I would maybe consider Conservation of Energy busted. The interaction with BfB is silly.

Re: Werewolf Archer build (PvP)
Both Oakensoul and Bow are viable for Werewolf currently.
A lot of the Oakensoul buffs will be made redundant with Werewolf in Update 50, but you can still get use out of it if you pick different morphs. For instance, we used to use Oakensoul for buffs like Minor Berserk and Minor Protection, which didn't exist in the toolkit. In Update 50, you can get Minor Berserk from slotting Hircine's Rage and Minor Protection from slotting Deafening Roar. You will also get some use out of the Minor Heroism from Oakensoul, which will help you sustain your transformation longer in combat. Remember that you give up some buffs depending on the ability morphs you pick, so Oakensoul will ensure you always have those specific buffs.
I can't speak for the human form, but generally if you want to switch between a ranged playstyle with Bow and then go into melee range with Werewolf, you'll want to use Item Sets which complement both forms. Nightblade in particular doesn't have very many applicable passives for the Werewolf form, but if you decide not to Subclass, then the "Above and Beyond" and "An Eye for Exploitation" Nightblade Class Mastery passives are currently the only two which would apply in both forms.

Re: A social issue people are reluctant to bring up
Most of us do our best to tolerate and understand toxic players and because of that we're really reluctant to 'out' people or report them -we know this game is an escape outlet for people and they need it. However, there are some communities where it is horrible to be due to perma banned players coming back on known new accounts and Zos turning a blind eye. And we're talking about seriously awful things behind those bans.
What this is resulting in is the victims of these people giving up on ESO and giving up on their friend communities.
I'd like to ask that Zos consider move to blocking the player, not the account. It's been asked before by many people but perhaps under new leadership, it's time to raise it again.
Well I don't know if this is coming from a PVP or PVE perspective, but I can say that if they made ALL PVP campaigns alliance locked (cyrodil, IC, vengeance), it would go a long way towards eliminating toxicity in PVP. Having non-alliance locked campaign enables MUCH of the toxic behavior in PVP, from switching alliances to give the hammer/scroll to your primary opponent that campaign, to slipping into the other alliance's zone chat to talk trash or whine. Its ALL possible only because alliance campaigns are not locked. And it could be easily fixed and curbed if players were forced to stick to only one alliance for the duration of the campaign.
You can never eliminate the toxicity, but you CAN curb it, and if you curb it here, it is less likely to spill over into other phases in the game.
Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Challenge Difficulty
Tried Vestige for soloing world bosses (base game and DLC).
- What was the most challenging aspect of encounters?
Base game - these feel like some older non-HM vDLC final bosses. Tbh it really depends on the boss but in general they were okay I think.. I didn't find most of them especially challenging.
DLC - they feel like some HM vDLC final bosses where you must stay focused the entire fight and react to every incoming light attack. They feel like bosses now finally.
- Did the risk feel appropriate for the reward?
300 more gold and 3k more exp? Nah
- Did you enjoy the system overall?
It's the best thing ever happened to ESO imo

Re: Nerf to Ansuul’s, Tide-born, and Velothi is gutting my Arcanist build
Those are literally my 3 main set items I run all together on my Arcanist. Who else is in the same boat? Any thoughts and suggestions? Discuss
Any nerf to beam builds is welcome and deserved, what's bad about it?

Re: ToT Vibe Check
I would prefer them to start with toning down the OP cards (Pounce/Larceny, Customs Seizure, Tomeshell).
About concede option: do you mean a different concede option from the one we already have (as in shorter duration)?

Re: It Appears Grey Host and Vengeance Will Exist Side by Side After All. Thoughts?
The queue to GH as the only campaign (besides Vengeance) will be just extreme I think. I don't think it would die, I would imagine it is in even higher demand without alternative campaigns.
Mini GH will be the successor eventually, but we don't know exactly how or what it will solve going from GH --> mini GH.
Will there be alternatives again? Less lag and higher pop? New features and content along side Vengeance?
Everyone that did not ask for Vengeance is potentially in for a period of painful transition. Hopefully there will be clear communication along the way.
Thoughts? For now, as long as I can get in to GH with reasonable queue times I'm fine.
Not a fan of how we are funnelled into Vengeance as the "I am waiting for my GH queue" campaign, but it is what it is.
mini GH is going to be a one keep map as they showed in the livestream. They are fixing the performance server issues in GH by simply cutting the population in half or in thirds again. Basically distribute the lag to different servers.
Veng showed that streamlined skills and effects COULD reduce lag to the point where we could go from a 300 player cap to 900 player cap. Sadly zos is going ahead with the class reworks without streamlining the skills. Likely because it would feel like a step backwards for everyone and players prefer power creep to power reductions.
