What are you guys smoking who claims vet 12 sets will be useless? They are still among the best gear. There just will be some SLIGHT better things. You don't like upgrades?
Or would you prefer to get all skills, get the best gear and that's it? Put the character on a trophy case?
No interest in evolving your char and make it even more unique? In order to GET these new cool things, guess what you need? YOUR UBER VET12 GEAR!
*bleep*
Raising the level cap is fine I guess, but why are you raising the veteran cap if you're getting rid of it anyway? Upgrading your gear isn't that hard if it's craftable, with 250~300 skillpoints you can pretty much max out every craft.
On the other hand, VR12 sets like Martial Knowlegde , Aether and Warlock that aren't craftable will become obsolete because they'll feel like under-leveled gear. Kinda sucks for all those people when those sets won't be available as VR14-versions. That's like forcing us to only use crafted gear.

It's legendary, right?

Still wondering why they have yet to reduce the cast time of uppercut too.
You do know when I keep block up with my shield, my stamina protects me from a bloody group of attackers. Even if it would help my weapon attacks, no. Block is WAY to powerful to not drain stamina.

Right. All those artists and animators should get to work on ability balancing ASAP. because some guy on the forums said that this is what WE WANT. Sounds like a perfectly well thought out idea from someone who really understands how game development works.
So it's not broken for you. Not really relevant but good for you. It's broken for many other people and it shouldn't be.lordrichter wrote: »eventide03b14a_ESO wrote: »
THE WEAPON SWAPPING BUG IS STILL NOT FIXED!
Your weapon swapping bug might not be fixed, but they certainly fixed mine. Since the patch, I have had no issues with weapon swapping, in or out of combat.
The only issue I had with weapon swapping was the one they fixed in the patch.

It's a beautiful game, now if only it worked reliably. I'm sorry if it offends you that I'm unhappy with the current direction of the game. I have never played an MMO where it seems that there is more concern for it looking better than making sure that the game play mechanics work properly. I am not suggesting that the animators are responsible for that, but maybe they need to hire better/more programmers and more testers because it's not the art and animation that's suffering in this game. And please tell me who it is that is responsible for the animation that causes my bow to look like two daggers and then give me a way to contact them so that I can tell them that the weapon swapping is still not fixed after a month and counting. The light in stained glass windows looks great though.

Just look at the PvP area's, two are populated with Medium or above, the other 3 are empty, which was the same before you changed the format. You must of known this, but have not addressed why this is a problem. How about you get rid of the Campaign restrictions, no home, no guest, one leader board. When one server is Full, the other becomes unlocked and people can join it. It also needs to have equal players on all side, I was recently in Chillrend with 24 Pact in the Zone, 4 AD and 100 DC. Pointless campaign. Yes I know the numbers, because I speak to both Alliances regularly! The other problem you have with a campaign like this, you will have like 48 people on one side which is DC playing till 4am capping the whole map, so people leave from the other alliances and more DC join because of the dam buffs that are usable outside of Cyrodiil. Remove that straight away.
Do I invoice you for my 250 Slot TS Server and the £500 I spent on a website, because so many members of my guild are quitting because of the direction of this game. Also for websites you promote guild launch, have you even seen one? They have nothing designed for ESO. Why? Your API restrictions are laughable. Complete Joke.
I expect the 775k Subs you have after 3 Months to drop by half, as most people will give a new MMO 6 months to fix it's main issues, which you have failed to do.
Why increase the level cap? Just increase the gear set stats, as most other MMO's do when new tier raid content comes out.
Congratulations on making some quick money, I hope none of you are given Jobs to work on any other MMO's. So much potential, ends in this under par product. Lots of false advertising, Level 50, there is no Level 50... You go from 49-VR1... You keep adding PS4 / Xbox One to the trailers... You can't play on these formats and probably never will. Console players are far worse than PC Gamers, they won't play a game that is this buggy / laggy. Given the fact my pc destroys both consoles in power and graphics, It will be amusing to see how they handle Cyrodiil with 100+ in one area.
It's interesting when at QuakeCON all the most relevant questions given to you to be answered had nothing to do with the MAJOR issues in this game. Hand picked to make the game look better and fixing it's problems. You are only as strong as your weakest link, I think we know what that is.
Thanks for some enjoyable moments. In the end it was a waste of my time and money, if the world was a fair place and not ran by the super rich, you would need to refund every single player.
One day the people of this world will unite and install a New World Order where greed and corruption is abolished.
NWO is Coming!
Please remove VR14. My RL friend and good PVP buddy cancelled his subscription a few minutes ago. I'm seriously thinking about it myself.
I completely understand what he's saying. Maybe I wasn't making my point clear. There seems to be a department that is under performing. The fact that other departments are doing a great job only makes it more obvious. If they lack the resources to create a stable working game then maybe it's time to cull the art and animation department and hire more people that code the game. Or hire more testers. Or just fire everyone and hire better people. See my point now? It doesn't feel like they are really addressing the problem. I never suggested that people in art and animation should be doing anything other than what they do but rather that some priorities must be taken. If they do not have the resources to make a stable game then maybe they should free up those resources. Or to put it another way: I don't care how pretty the game is if I can't play it. If you like the game the way it is then fine, that's your opinion. I am not satisfied with a broken product that I am paying for.Thejollygreenone wrote: »You're misunderstanding the point the person was making, that you can't combine resources from different departments to get stuff done quicker. Slowing down on art and animation wont get balance and gameplay fixed any quicker, I believe is the point the person was trying to make.
The QuakeCon thing is very true. Matt Firor actually said that they got all the major problems gone. He said this with a straight face while the rest of us were at home attempting to play his game without crashing in Cyrodiil, or attempting to swap our weapons and have the correct one in our hand, or myriad of broken abilities and inaccurate tool tips.Khivas_Carrick wrote: »lykan_spike wrote: »I know of 100 members in my two guilds that have given the game 6 months to get it right, and will not be re-subbing come september.

You know, he's right. Damn near every word. Also, if he wanted, he could technically sue Zenimax for *** up this badly and demand his money back, as could all of us. At this rate, starting to think we should.
EDIT* To be honest? This kind of reminds me when Final Fantasy 11 went down and 14 tried to take it's place the first time, and was such *** that it was actually worse than the atrocity that was FF11. So bad in fact they took it down, fired everybody involved, and rehired and rebuilt from the ground up. I don't know about you guys but I get the feeling that's a very real possibility here.

All they doing is giving you more rank not more of the system. The veteran rank system is changing by getting rid of vet points turn it into just regular xp so you can level faster than you can get new champion points for perk system to help make you toon stronger. Still going to have vet ranks.gotta love game design mentality: "we acknowledge the VR system is bad and needs reworking ... so we are giving you more of the same next patch"
Zenimax has officially stated many times that veteran ranks will be disappearing.Darkonflare15 wrote: »All they doing is giving you more rank not more of the system.

Instead of manning up your now not being constructive. Instead of giving advice you complain, complain and complain. You rush though the game and now you sad.
