My friends and I would disagree. We don't call random people names. Between the group we do. We enjoy it, it's camaraderie. Why? Dunno, it's how we enjoy gaming and each other.
Adults can resort to childish behavior, not even just calling each other names. I work with some every day. Good times.
There is a difference between friends joking around with each other and people calling strangers offensive names in anger. That is immature and childish.
Re: Update 50 and Accessibility
I have another issue with these nerfs. The constant nerfing of sets leaving only a handful that work is a real pain. You can’t have build diversity if things that work are constantly thrown in the trash can or whatever damage calculation bucket that is where nothing works. Don’t you guys at Zos get sick of working on all these sets with cool effects and animations only to have nobody use them?!

There's a difference between a narrative having dark themes vs players insulting other people. Or does racism in guilds become okay because the altmer do it too?

True. Although it appears the ticket was initially created today, so the OP did not allow time for customer service to process the ticket. Almost like the OP knows this would stir the pot by creating another thread about "the rules apply equally to all players."
Also, agree with the other post you made about adults.

Gambling boxes and why I don't buy them anymore.
You have a mount in the store right now that I'd love to purchase with crowns but I can't it only takes crown gems.
In all of the years since you've put these boxes and crown gems in the store I've never once had ANY mount much less the mounts that are supposed to drop from the boxes during their release, not once EVER. I've also NEVER received enough currency from the items I did receive from these boxes to even be able to buy a mount, not even the current once for 1,600 crown gems.
One is more likely to be struck by lightning, struck by a meteor or crash in a plane than receive a mount from these boxes even when I did buy them I have purchased 4 x 15 in the past to see if it was worth it. I long for the day when American courts eliminate box gambling systems like these from every game in existence in the US because it's not worth my time or money.
What's worse is there's not even any crown gems in the Tome of Tamriel system to even shore up the numbers to make it possible to buy them. You're missing out on purchases because these boxes are a disappointing waste of time turning people off from purchasing them. Going back to a system in which direct trade for real money would be preferable to anything these gambling boxes produce especially today when money is so tight.

Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Combat Refresh: Werewolf
So a couple sort of cosmetic things I wanted to highlight in case they can be improved:
1) I've been moving around with the dire wolves just to see how they react and choose paths etc. It appears about 75% of the time they’re choosing to stack right on top of one another. My instinct is that it's a bit worse than on live, but regardless is there an easy way for you guys to make it so that they more reliably stand on either side of the player, move around more independently etc?
2) When moving forward and light attacking, the werewolf model sort of looks like it's gliding across the ground at times. This is fairly minor and I'm not sure when you'll be in a situation where you are just moving forward and light attacking randomly, but does look kind of goofy. It doesn't really end up looking that way when you're in normal combat changing direction, dodge rolling, weaving other attacks etc. but just in case there's an incremental improvement that's possible from the animation team:

Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Combat Refresh: Werewolf
ACTUAL WEREWOLF FEEDBACK
A few more things:
1) Werewolves are still unable to pass the Tarcyr fight in March of Sacrifices. That fight has crouching/sneaking as a requirement. Since Werewolves can't sneak, they will never be able to pass the hunt phases in there without doing the secret areas. I assume this means they will also be unable to pass the Lord Hollowjack fight during Witches' Fest as it also requires characters to actively Crouch.
I did try to use the Prowl mechanic during the Tarcyr fight, but it doesn't do a thing. It is specifically looking for characters to be hidden, which means that werewolves are completely unable to pass that mechanic.
For a werewolf dungeon, the fact that werewolves can't do it seems like a massive oversight.
I honestly don't understand the resistance to werewolves being able to sneak in some way. Again, in two specific PvE encounters, werewolves are completely disallowed from entering - and the fact that these are a werewolf-themed dungeon and a halloween-themed boss fight just feels completely wrong.
At minimum, these two fights need to have a condition that werewolves are immune to the mechanic. That seems like a weird solution, but the correct answer would be to let them sneak. If the issue is that sneaking werewolves would make a problem for PvP, then have Prowl be a PvP-only feature and allow [CTRL] to do a sneak mode in PvE (even if no crouch animation is added).
That would also help the fact that Slaughter is not easy to trigger, as by the time you get close enough to an NPC to get the synergy, they usually can notice there's a giant wolf beast right behind them.
2) Werewolf Berserker is very hard to sustain as a lone wolf. On Live, the Blood Rage passive is the major source of sustain for the werewolf timer.
On PTS, that passive makes it easier to get to Rampage
The problem is that you need to be in werewolf form long enough to get to Rampage in order to use it. It's pretty tough to get up there fast enough without specifically building for ult gen. On Live, I can easily stay in werewolf form with no problem, even against bosses without a lot of adds. But on PTS, if there aren't a lot of adds around, I may be able to get to Rampage once, and that's only if I hard focus on timers instead of just... having fun?
It would really help if Blood Rage would revert back to a form of the Live passive like "When you deal damage, you gain X ultimate. This effect can occur once every 5 seconds" to help sustain the wolf form.
Honestly, the cost to remain in werewolf form (100 per 10 seconds) does feel a bit high in the first place, especially with how hard it is to sustain in the absence of corpses. Maybe a cost of 70 or even 50 per 10 secs would be better. I might also suggest making the cost less chunky, and spread it to a lower cost over a shorter duration - there are cases where a player might have 184 ult and cast it, which then kicks them right back out of werewolf form with barely anything to show for it.

Re: Is Update 50 coming June 8th for ALL, or just PC at first?
For all. Thankfully the days of console having to wait two weeks are over. What a ridiculous thing that other games seem to have never had an issue with. It lasted way too long, one of the better changes this year.
Re: Please allow us to clear Tome Challenges that have progress on them
I second this.
Rather than “clear”, maybe “abandon” or “forfeit” is a better word.
Say you are in the middle of doing a Weekly Challenge but find it too time consuming or undoable. Whether you’ve claimed it or not, having the option to abandon or forfeit the task allows you to try getting a new one the following week.
There is no cheating involved as Points can be either not Claimed at all or partially Claimed. This is different from asking for partially done Weekly Challenges to be Rerolled - Rerolling on partial Claimed Challenges opens up the possibility of scoring more than the intended maximum points per task (eg getting Bodgan, doing it 2 times, rerolling and getting Molag Kena, doing that another 2 times, rerolling and getting Bogdan again, same Challenge space generating 1200+ points).
Abandoning or forfeiting simply allows the player to free up one held weekly challenge, ie effectively completing it for ZERO or less than the intended full-claim points, to allow for a new entry the following week.
Imagine this possible worst-case scenario - a new non-CP player uses all their rerolls, free or via Gold, and are stuck with Complete Antiquity (requires W. Skyrim DLC), Arena, Trial and PVP activities that they cannot finish. These begin to accumulate and stay week after week as they complete doable ones within their level and ability while being penalized with tasks outside of their ability. Soon they reach 12 of such undoable tasks. Sure, many of them could be copies. But to them it is undoable in the first place, so then what. Bear in mind new weekly Rerolls can also give other undoable tasks. It’s practically Game Over for them. Is this the intended outcome?
Should this proposed abandon / forfeit option cost a currency (Gold or Points) or have some usage limits ? No, it should not. It’s “clearing the slate” to Season start when we started with nothing and didn’t cost anything to join (non-premium base for all). Can anyone game this option if it’s allowed? I cant think of any. “Oh but if you abandon 12 Weekly Challenges you get 5 new ones PLUS rerolls if we implement this - thats not fair!”. Um. But thats what everyone starts with on Season Day 1 right ? 5 Weekly Challenges and Rerolls.
And before you say “git gud”, I’m CP3600, 7 years, just thinking on behalf of the overall player experience, both new and veteran.
