Like this entire part of the notes is good... lol

Also does the mundus stone part mean I can get rid of Warrior Mundus Stone now and have it stick?

demonlkojipub19_ESO

I expect my materials back from the night silence set I have.

And, you have to go through and put an end to all bonus and skill stacking. Shields no longer stack, heals from different people no longer stack, damage traits no longer stack, cost reductions no longer stack, etc.

Totally unfair change the appease the crybabies. There are sets with actual power but you attack the set thats nothing but movement speed with no in-combat advantages. Over 2 months, after ignoring feedback on PTS, and you screw it up for anyone who went and made it. But you were QUICK on listening to feedback on 3 particular sets and changing them within the next patch.

And theres still nothing on fixing being stuck with warrior mundus stone. Seriously? This just proves you guys are ignoring select feedback and bug reports.

Samadhi

Another patch.

Still no notes on fixing the issue with Nightblade's DoTs breaking their own Invisibility.
Even though it was acknowledged as unintended and we were told a fix is incoming back in May.

Oh well, maybe next patch will have something worthwhile in it.

Yes. They should totally leave all things that you use that are clearly not intended alone. Shame on them.

Is the speed bonus provided by Night's Silence going to be upgraded in order to compensate for the lack of stackability?
Presently the bonus is less than both Dark Stalker and Shadow Dancer's Raiment in effect, because they are not the same bonuses.

Gilvoth

why would you Remove speed from us that does nothing in pvp but allow us nightblades to escape constant death? that speed does not harm any one in pvp, it is only an escape method.
i need that speed in order to escape when im near death on my duel wield nightblade.
please do not do the changes to speed bonus i currently have.

Outstanding Known Issues
Patch 1.1.2 fixed many outstanding Nightblade issues, but below are some that we are either actively investigating, working on fixes for now, or have recently fixed and will push in a future patch. Please note this list does not reflect every reported Nightblade issue we are currently investigating.

General: Currently, a Nightblade’s own residual outgoing damage-over-time ticks break his or her invisibility. This is not intended, and will be fixed in a future patch.

Posted May 22nd. Still waiting for a fix.

K signed on to test out Weapon Enchants Status Effects

They are proccing now, but i've discovered a new bug.

Arcane Fighter (2 hander Passive) isn't proccing status effects 100% of the time like its suppose to.

Gilvoth

Sorcerer

Stormcalling
Streak (morph of Bolt Escape) will no longer affect more than six targets, which was resulting in a much larger amount of Ultimate gain than intended.


this makes no sence at all, the sorcerer class who can spam nock down with crystal shard and also stack it with and spam the bolt escape nock down and then even bolt escape out away from harm is ignored and allowed to be continued yet you forcefully remove the speed from us nightblades so we not only cant stop them from nocking us down repeatedly spaming it over and over again but the sorcerer can even keep up with horses.
you made it so the sorcerer is over powered yet weaken yet again the weakest class us nightblades?
please stop this, please allow us nightblades that continued speed and a way to stop the stupid nock down from bolt escape.
please

and by the way, that stupid stamina wasting skill of heavy armor called "immoveable" only lasts 8 seconds! and it drains stamina when we are spammed with this stupid sorcerer bolt escape thing coupled with the stupid crystal shard.
its beyond stupid, please just

omg

based on my understanding arcane fighter don't make them proc 100% of the time... but increase the proc rate by 100% "of the actual proc rate"... so it mean that if base proc rate for burning is (assumption here) 15% chance on fire damage... with arcane fighter it will change to 30% chance... that is a 100% increase in proc rate ^^

but that is how I understand it... it may be as you intended and not working at all ^^'... a bit hard to test out... it would require quite the extensive testing ^^'

This is why the Vamp + Night stalker should still stack. Its the best viable way for a NB to move around and the best way to fight streak.

They are just fixing streak to where it was uncapped before now has a cap. I do agree that night silence and vamp passive should continue to stack. The night silence yields no game changing attack damage. Those who wear it and are caught are at an extreme disadvantage.

What I read is that the night silence set won't do anything for you at all if you also have shadow raiment or dark stalker passive. Its a useless set for any vampire who has it now.

So yes, smart people who don't know what the LoL button is for. I'd like my materials back, the set no longer functions. They could have NOT given the go ahead on the stacking while it was on PTS, and changed it like they changed twilights, willows, and hist bark. But they screwed the pooch severely.

This set has gone through like 4 changes now. Not working health regen, to not working clearly typo'd speed boost, to working speed boost people cried about, to useless for anything but mortals.

No, I gathered that.

What I mean is that a Human wearing Night's Silence is not as fast as a vampire with Dark Stalker.
Night's Silence provides a different bonus from Dark Stalker, that is part of why they stack right now.

A player in Night's Silence who isn't a vampire will not travel as fast as a vampire does; nor will they travel as fast as a non-vampire wearing Shadow Dancer's Raiment.

Not only is there no reason for vampires to wear the set anymore, there isn't really any reason to choose Night's Silence over Shadow Dancer's Raiment. Aside from crafted sets having Impenetrable.

I am hoping they will at least strengthen the effect of Night's Silence to compensate for this. If it's not going to stack with vampire it should at least provide a comparable effect to vampire.

I for one have to agree that if the change does go through that there needs to be a refund on mats. Who can honestly keep up with new sets every month and stay competitive in PvP or Trials.

ZOS is really screwing up on this one.

Gilvoth

what does an assassin and a vampire like myself need?
speed (lots and lots of speed)

high damage output (we dont have this)

protection from nock down and an easy escape with strong survivability. (we dont have this, we do if we waste all our stamina by spaming immovable skill but if we do that then we cant swing our weapons cause we wont have stamina)

we temporarily had the speed but now you removed it.
this is getting really - really annoying.

this has been going on since beta which was even asked about and begged for and repeatedly asked over and over again and again yet you persist on not allowing us duel wield nighblades what we need, why?

/agree

There are tons of sets and passives that stack in the game such as brenton Magicka Mastery and Seducer set for example. This set bonus stacking in no way gave any kind of OP offensive ability and yet Zos breaks it. There are many other broken mechanics in the game that warrant fixing over this issue. Yep again this just reconfirms that zos does not know how to prioritize. Glad I canceled my sub, horrible game company.

imo if Zos is not giving u what u want cancel your sub. Why pay to play a game when they are not giving us what we want. Its like going to a steak house and ordering a rib eye steak and then the waiter brings u a pork chop, are u going to pay and eat that pork chop anyways when its not what u ordered or are u going to leave and go to a real steak house?

Zos is so fired.

Also agree on the stealth speed "fix" being stupid. Was it really causing that much of a problem? Honestly, it was the only way for anyone without a max level mount to have any chance at all to keep up with the crowd.

The ability for someone to completely run away from an encounter at will? Yes. This was a problem.

Can you mount your horse in combat? No. Ok then.

Hi again.

Night's Silence bonus does not activate in combat either.
Even if a Nightblade crouches while Invisible, once combat starts the bonus is gone. The bonus does not reappear until the player has left combat status.

I am hoping they will at least strengthen the effect of Night's Silence to compensate for this. If it's not going to stack with vampire it should at least provide a comparable effect to vampire.

Indeed, it should be superior to the Vampire passive because the player is using up a precious set bonus to get it while the Vampire is using up nothing.

"Fixing" the vamp/Night's Silence stacking is a really poor decision. That combo creates a specific build for a specific play style and it comes with significant costs. It also has little/no impact for other players. So, they will please very few, but anger many...I truly hope ZOS rethinks this.

A nice start would be if it actually gave 60% speed increase as listed.

Currently a non-vampire receives a 36% speed increase while sneaking, because 60% of the base Sneak speed (60% of running speed) is only 36%.

Another patch.

Still no notes on fixing the issue with Nightblade's DoTs breaking their own Invisibility.
Even though it was acknowledged as unintended and we were told a fix is incoming back in May.

Oh well, maybe next patch will have something worthwhile in it.

Just for clarification about this:

Outstanding Known Issues
Patch 1.1.2 fixed many outstanding Nightblade issues, but below are some that we are either actively investigating, working on fixes for now, or have recently fixed and will push in a future patch. Please note this list does not reflect every reported Nightblade issue we are currently investigating.

General: Currently, a Nightblade’s own residual outgoing damage-over-time ticks break his or her invisibility. This is not intended, and will be fixed in a future patch.

Posted May 22nd. Still waiting for a fix.

I look at every new patchnotes if there are some NB fixies and still no after months... Futhermore the fix about the Night's Silence has demotivated me.

For ganking in the field, sure it's at a slight cost. However, the issue primarily emerges when you use it to travel long distances (ie between keeps).

Compared to a horse, you have:
- Almost no chance of being spotted vs. being spotted at view distance
- Knowledge of any enemies you do run across (detection warning from eye)
- No stun from being attacked (knocked off horse) unless a specific stun attack was used
- No speed penalty, except to maybe the fastest speed horses

In return, you have to
- Be a vampire, but a good chunk of the AvA population is, so it's no hardship
- Use a 5-piece set, which you can swap out when you get there (or before ganking someone if using a gear swap addon)

It's hardly a surprise. There was a developer comment a week or two ago about this change. Other large speed boosts over travel distances (mist form speed, bolt escape) were nerfed.
