Patch v.1.1.3 Preview

briandivisionb16_ESO

Invisibility fix and haste working for bow are two things I'm looking forward to.
The haste fix should be really easy, shouldn't it?

Does anyone recall Puncturing strikes having a "GLOBAL" cooldown before? If it did, it must have been pretty minute, because I never got locked out of all my other skills when using it prior to this latest patch.

I remember during the early promo videos stating how this game will nvr have cooldowns.

Has there been a fix for cancelling the bow draw? Admittedly, I've eagerly drawn my bow at a mob and realized I'm not prepared to fight them. At it stands, I can only get out of range before releasing my arrow to avoid the conflict.

That is if we can get out of range, some dungeons are so packed and respawn is up you rear already and there is no way to discharge your bow.

They can't fix everything at once people.

But they seem to break a lot of things all at once with one patch.

So what was the deal with a global cooldown on the Templar ability in the first place. You sold the combat mechanics on "no cooldown! It's all resource-limited." Was this a mistake or did you intentionally do this as some weird interim fix for something else?

Pretty sure this is their way of covering up the fact that they changed it from an ICD to a GCD with the last patch and promised to revert it, but increase magicka cost instead. Looks like we get the increased Magicka cost AND GLOBAL cooldown, but it will be 140% less than it is now (1.2 seconds to 0.5 seconds). The latest patch notes are extremely vague and do not give percentages, I am pulling this from what Jessica originally said in the Patch Note Addendum for the last patch, where she referred to it as an INTERNAL cooldown btw. Something isn't adding up here. Either Jessica made a mistake in the patch notes addendum, or they've changed the skill from an ICD to a GCD.

I do not ever recall having all my skills locked by a global cooldown, I'm pretty sure I would have noticed that in 52 levels of playing even if it was only 0.5 seconds before. But, perhaps that it so short a period of time it isn't noticable, I don't really know for sure.

What happens when they do this since the system was not actually cooldown based if implemented without planning will cause issues with other abilities either intentionally or not.

as a nightblade, may we have class-passive "adds +x% damage when attacking from behind with dw/1hs/bow"? please?

This game was clearly not ready for release in every sense of the word, from the game itself to the infrastructure. Hence why the console has also been delayed till probably next year. They can't keep up with the fixes and the content that much is obvious. Fix the bugs before content its not good bringing out new already bugged content when so much of the game has issues already, from broken abilities to a multitude of issues. Most of your resources should be devoted here right now Instead of on Craglorn the majority of what is left of the population isn't even ready for that section of eso yet.

In other words this is open beta.
Also not sure why ESO has maintenance down time twice a week but no hotfixes? or mini patches? What do they do? reboot servers?

As i remember correctly you promised us to fix thief stone UI visuals in the next patch.

UI visual is another way of saying that something went wrong but we really don't know what happenned. They seem to use it a lot.

What is the point of Catalyst?

It seems the only skill thats only useful if I want to rely on potions which are either expensive or require Alchemy which already has a skill line that improves the effectiveness of this.

As one of the weakest classes why not scrap this skill and put something more useful and more unique in its place?

Agree so much, the fact that we trained and crafted our own potions alone should make us experts in using it why make it another skill needed?
This goes along with armor repairs, why do we need to get a kit to repair something? Shouldn't it be free since we actually make our own armor in this game anyways?

Pretty disappointing patch notes.

Its obvious that Zenimax need to hire more people to work on the game since these fixes are like a fart in space. But of course that means less gold per person

Tbh I wish they changed it so it auto-releases when fully charged like all the other weapons when keeping mouse button down , works that way for staves and when you know that it works like that you won't draw until you're ready
AND you maximize your dps because you won't over/under-draw.

I realize that won't be a popular decision for the "elder scrolls franchise veteran" at first but it will help archers in the long run , doing more damage on single target mobs.

It is not all about doing more damage - there are more considerations for some of us. If you want a purely DPS character, I understand. I want a stealthy rogue like character, and frequently will draw the weapon long before I am ready to start the fight - looking to make sure everything is just right... however, I do wish there was a stamina price to pay for holding a bow drawn.

You forgot the fix for Leeching Strike... right?

A very simple fix at that... just a value error.....

Fixed an issue that was causing some people to get stuck at the login screen or character select screen for a long period of time after experiencing a crash.

Thank God for this. I've been playing every day since release. Now i can't login since 3 days

No fix for the lost achievements yet? =\

Yes I agree this one was suppose to solve problem and do the opposite. We already wait a long time for some achievement fix and it is getting worse...The forgotten crypt achievement is not fix either: 2month now....

You should be, rather than wait another month to start pushing nightblade fixes, they're getting what they have done already out, i think this is a great idea.

Touche. Veil of Blades being able to critically hit will do a lot for those of us that use crit builds. A good start!

No Alliance War fix for the stupid Mercenary Mages ?

fenweeneb18_ESO

keeping the Templar nerf in is really disappointing, do the devs play only DK/sorc and balance the templar blindly or what?

AngryNord

Here is what it says in the _first paragraph_ of the _first post_: We’re still working on finalizing the complete patch notes, but we wanted to share some of the highlights with you now
Highlights - in other words - there WILL be more stuff in the patch.
Geeez, can NOBODY read anymore???

[*] Path of Darkness: This ability’s damage has been slightly increased.

This ability is absolutely useless. Even a 300% damage increase wouldn't make it viable.

I'd rather see fixes for the stealth system and the Shadow Cloak Bug which renders me unable to go invisible for longer than 0.01sec when having a DoT on me.

Magnys

Wondering WHEN they are going to fix the HUGE memory leak issue. Since they released 1.2 (Craglorn) the game (and my PC) have crashed more times than I care to count.

Puncturing Strikes: Reduced the global cooldown triggered after this ability is used, and slightly increased the ability resource cost. This change impacts Puncturing Strikes and all its morphs.

Thank you

I see nothing about the complete inability to do ANYTHING after using puncturing strikes. Fix it. I don't see why you don't just revert it back to the way it was. It has not affected bots AT ALL. Nerfing class abilities is not the way to combat them.

I still miss a fix to the fact that Sorc and DK can solo 12 man dungeons in Craglorn.

If thats not going to happen, then make it possible for Templar and NB too.

This.

Catalyst + Medicinal Use = Awesome Potions, granted it means you have to make your own, but MU adds 30% to the duration of your restorative potions. Supposed to be all potions but at current only works on straight heal pots.
