You know, people who say either, Zenimax does not listen to the players or ESO does not have enough to do?

Can't say that anymore!

Everything is outstanding. Gotta LOVE this one!

Evil Hunter: This ability now highlights vampire player characters in Cyrodiil.

They listen to QQers on these forums. Not serious players who are actually playing the game, and not crying here

Shield stacking is a bit ridiculous as is. It's good enough that light armor will continue to protect and buff you vs magicka.

(Someone get a mop and a bucket of hot soapy water - that's a lot of squashed bugs!)



Thank you for the detailed list of changes, fixes, and additions!

WraithAzraiel

Also, please correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Imperial City supposed to drop with Update 5? Did it get pushed back? Or was it never there in the first place and I'm imagining things?

Read it and what about block casting or armor abuse ??????????

Not entirely sure what armor abuse is referring to, but the block casting is something we talked about during our Guild Summit and covered during our latest ESO Live, too. It is something we're exploring options to, but any changes will very likely be after Update 5.

I wonder if you guys could fix this clipping issue? Now it only happens if your character has a larger than average butt/hips/legs (lol).

"The Sturdy trait now provides increased armor."

That is the exact same as the Reinforced trait. Why would you make two traits do the same thing?

This was a typo, @Kalman. Nice catch! It should have said "Reinforced" not "Sturdy." We've fixed it in the patch notes. Thank you.

wow can't wait till this is on the real servers

Hi,
That's some update.... ^^

Dominoid

Haha. Ninja removed from the patch notes was:

"Fixed an issue when you turned nameplates off, not all sub categories would turn off."

It was under the UI section. I guess nameplates are coming.

I like these 2H changes.

I expec,t once they go live, for people to be calling them OP. lol

Can we fix the problem where if you are stunned, knocked back or interrupted when using the werewolf transformation you don't transform and you and your horse become snared indefinitely until you relog (sorry, I have been waiting since launch for this to be fixed)?

Wow, this is surely a long list of great new things.

But since I use most of my time in PVP I noticed the most idiotic improvement I have ever seen:

Alliance War
General
You now need to be at least Alliance Rank 6 to purchase Forward Camps.

What the #@¤% is this - I play alot on the nonvet campaign, now i wont play with new comers anymore becuase they now leech my very hard earned APs, and yes, to you who plays on the normal servers, nonvet is a low populated server so the APs are not easy to get. Most keeps get repaired for gold, since there is not enough AP to do this.
- With this update you will achieve a Rank dominated world - The one thing that will happen is "Ahh you are to low level to play with us, go away and come back when you can be used for something good"
- If you want to do something with the camps, make them work for groups, so you keep the leeches out of the camps or make them go away.
- Must then admit if there where no camps on Nonvet i dont think a keep would ever change owner with the V5 NPCs

Well enough said, if this is a new update then you can close the nonvet server, cause you just made it impossible to play.

Yeah, kinda agree with this guy. I understand there are issues with the forward camps, but requiring alliance rank 6 to buy a camp is going to cause a lot of problems. There are already major issues with newer players using up the camps and not replacing them, and issues with groups not ever wanting to invite newer players. With this change, even if there are well-intentioned new players who want to help, they won't be able to, and groups won't want them. In turn, newer players will have a much harder time - since it's tougher to run rolo, and earning AP is way slower as a solo player - thus making it that much harder and take that much longer for them to ever reach rank 6. Overall this will discourage new people from trying pvp, and we'll end up with an even more imbalanced experience.

I'm all for attempts to address Forward Camp problems, but firmly feel that this is a step in the wrong direction.

So how do you find the dwemer motifs?

Nice fixes and changes to werewolf (not only, but these are most important for me).

Sacadon

All of Cyrodiil will be glowing now.

Check out Dwemer containers within the Dwemer ruins.

Anjelicus

@ZOS_GinaBruno‌ They are working now

Ysne58

It's taking awile to download, I'll start testing when I can.

Jules

Wow, this list is extensive. I see some interesting changes and had a few questions... Will our v14 characters receive those skill and attribute points retroactively since that came into effect after we leveled? Also is there any word on the Hel Ra timer bug fix?

Hinrasub17_ESO

So... are the character templates not working for anyone else?

DDuke

Chests in veteran mode drop VR14 purples for arenas 6-10

Is this still jewelry only (like before) or all armour pieces?

Also, is it possible to get an Undaunted quest for the VR14 City of Ash, thus possibly being able to get VR14 version of the new sets?

Sleep

That's a long list. Maybe I'll like the grouping tools.

Infectious Claws: This ability instantly deals damage to all enemies in front of you and causes poison damage over time.

Wait, is it really poison damage? I thought it was going to be Disease damage (which would provide a healing debuff when the effect procs). Disease damage would have made werewolfs much better, not to mention it seems odd that they have an ability that uses a damage type that they are actually weak against.

Aenra

that's definitely substantive for an in between patch. Said it elsewhere, whatever disagreements i may happen to have on some aspects, i sure remain impressed with the work put in;

Thank you. Anything 'official' I've read seemed like it danced around the issue.

You're right! We'll make sure it gets changed in the original post. Thanks!

Anyone logged in and got any info on the morphs of the new Werewolf skills?

Parrotbrain

Please fix the bug with the bound armor sorcerer ability... my character's whole face and body build changes when I activate it and it's ruining my immersion

Thank you
