My favorite 1.5 change...

c0rp

Horses no longer require forward momentum to jump over a stone.

It only took 7 months. Can we have that transfer over to the toons sometime too?

MikeBob

I'm now cautiously optimistic about not seeing King Laloriaran Dynar in four different places post quest-completion.

(I think there's LOADS of really good stuff besides that, also.)

Nestor

It's a small thing, but the magic return from kills from Elemental Ring is nice. I had thought I was not getting the magic back from those.

Saet

The horse jumping is one of my favorites too lol.

I'm looking forward to undaunted dailies since I log on everyday and don't always have a plan of what to do.

• You now need to be at least Alliance Rank 6 to purchase Forward Camps.
• Devouring Swarm (morph of Bat Swarm): Reduced the healing on this ability by 30%.
• Evil Hunter: This ability now highlights vampire player characters in Cyrodiil.

Love it! Thank you ZOS! Now every other player I meet in Cyrodiil will be lit up indicating they are a Vamp, or more than likely, 90% of them. The Alliance Rank requirement for forward camps will help put a dent in troll camps and Alliance spying.

The river of tears from Nightblades in previous updates is going to pale in comparison to the flood of cataclysmic proportions from vampire players.

Best 1.5 change:

Snipe:
Reduced the cast time for this ability by approximately 40%
Reduced the damage done by this ability by 5%
Removed the minimum range from this ability.

Snipe+Evil Hunter (highlights undead/vamps)

Goodbye vampires in Cyrodil.

The snipe change, could spell the end of impulse spam. People will start to use single target damage abilities rather than AOE.

jelliedsoup

That's ridiculous if you can't spam AOE, how are you expected to kill groups??

Horses and all that crafting goodness!

Please give snipe a 20% damage reduction and make it insta-cast. It's fulfil Zenimax's idea of making it a main damage dealing ability in trials, and everyone in PvP will just pewpew everyone at range. Ain't that awesome, huh.

I mean, look at that ridiculous archer backline every major battles seem to have.

Doesn't bother me. That's sort of realistic in a way, and if you decide to wear light armor and leave yourself vulnerable to arrows that's your choice.

This will work better with an armor overhaul though. Heavy armor needs to protect very well vs arrows and weapons, light armor almost not at all, and medium somewhere in the middle.

You mean the heavier the armour the better protection you have against weapons, and light armour gys better protection from magicka. I would push it more so heavy gives you a lot more protection against weapons and the same as medium against spells. But you're slower and cannot sneak.health regen

Medium gives better dodge ability, sneak, stam regen, but med protection protection against weapons and low against spells


Light gives good speed, sneak, but low against weapons, high against spells and may regent.

PBpsy

The the stupid blue spinning balls are smaller. Not as great as a complete removal but I have stopped expecting great stuff from this game a while ago. The rest are just a bunch of BS changes.

Well, if there is one thing bow users do not need, it's even more and easier to set up burst.

I quite liked the broken character templates they took three days to create on the PTS.. Shows their excellent QA... And gave me the chance to reclaim quite a few gigs of HD space.

Crafting quests - if they can get them to work. They were included in the last update at first but there were too many problems for them to make it to live.

Nothing ridiculous about there being archers in major battles. That complaint doesn't even make any sense. It's great to see archers becoming more popular or at least viable. 20% reduction? UMAD Bro? lol

I know, right!? Heavy armor "should" offer better protection vs physical attacks. It aslo "should" slow the person down wearing it. It "should" offer less protection vs elemental attacks, especially Lightning. It "should" reduce stamina and magika regen. I mean, as long as we're speaking of "shoulds."

There already are tons of dedicated archers in Cyrodiil, it's probably the second most common build after reflect bunnies. Bursting people down with bow is very much viable as it stands. Cutting the cast time almost in half while barely touching the damage is way over the top.

What bow needs is a substantial increase in sustained damage to be viable in other scenarios while not adding even more burst.

They only have to remove the sneak bonus DMG from Bows.
For me, Bows are the same as Destruction Staffs and Class Spells. Anytime Range DPS and like Spells, Bow Attacks shouldn`t get Sneak Bonus DMG.

As I see it. Sneak DMG is a bonus for Melee Skills, that brings themself into danger for moving into close combat.

Remove it and Bows are fine with the 1.5 changes.

Or make it that the bonus for an opening sneak hit be a half or less of that of melee sneak hits. In previous TES games the ranged sneak crits did less damage for a reason.

There is not much more sense in spells not doing sneak attack damage either but that is another story.

All anyone seems to ever want in cyrodiil is that every other player is nerfed until they are weaker than them

No idea what you're talking about. I'm an archer.

Of course I'm talking about what should be, not what is.

You seem like you're trying to pick a fight, by all means go right ahead but just know what you're fighting about.

The problem is the dps/tank/healer class/magicka based build is dominant. I just want some level of parity, as there's none at the moment.
