Are you looking forward to 1.6? Or does it give you nightmares?

Valnas · February 2015

what if i told you meteors were forever and the new ultimate system is also broken. read.your.bug.reports. don't go live.

xylena · February 2015

Hurry up and release 1.6! I'm sick of 100% healing debuffs & WoE/ purge bug.

cyro combat is way more fun when not dominated by perma-block light armor ubermages and batspam

stamina/magic and range/melee balances are much improved in 1.6

the PTS is empty, the real testing always seems to happen on live anyway, might as well get it over with before TU starts up next month

Come pts, I show you the stamina balance with my wonderful 14k hits.
You still got perma-block users btw and you need to block cast if you don't want to die in one rotation.
It's the worst balance and PvP since release..

Hurry up and release 1.6! I'm sick of 100% healing debuffs & WoE/ purge bug.

@Soulac i've been playing lots and lots of PTS since 1.6 hit, way more than live, having 3600cp completely screws balance for sure... but at 70cp, combat was the most fun i've had in months!

sure there were perma blockers, but they had to build for tanking and give up dps, no more taping the right mouse button down and spamming talons and bats ad nauseum

the dueling environment on the PTS definitely favors melee builds, it's much easier to land wrecking blows when you're not getting shot by 900,000,000 meatwads and archers and templar beam cannons from across a chaotic battlefield... the amount of stam melee attacks are doing is fine given the risk you are taking in open world AvA

The thought of 1.6 going live terrifies me.

The fact that I'm forced to go full out stamina on my NB to be decent. Or that my templar as a light armor healer will be 2 shot and free AP, these things makes me not want to play this game in 1.6. Thankfully the game will be free.

Imryll · February 2015

Some of each.

Stacks of 200, yes please.
Intrusive implementation of the justice system, no thank you.
Inability to come up with a balanced and FUN iteration of the sorcerer class, YUCK.

I worry that sorcerers will be almost completely useless save for pet and negate builds; I worry that cloak will always be broken; i worry 95% of the player base will not have access to one of the only stamina based heals in the game for the next 9 months because ZOS decided to lock it behind a 7-12 month long grind; as well as a few other worries I have.

however, I am also pleased with some of the changes; particularly the fact I will be able to actually play a full on stamina NB with actual effectiveness. I am overall pleased with the CS(although people with all 3600 CPs are extremely OP, and I hope ZOS gets that fixed before people start getting all 3600 CP) I am pleased with the fact people in Light armor actually die now when attacked, I am happy with all the new animations(I LOVE the new animations) and I like some of the ability changes.

Overall, im in the middle on this topic. Wish there was a choice stating that:(

and someone tell panda to come gank with me come 1.6:)

I hate ganking, I hate gankers, I hate the thought of ganking with a ganker, and I hate being ganked. I'll come sneak around with you on a Templar or Sorcerer and fight while you run away or re-position for another stealth attack, but I'll never gank with you. Never. Ever ever.

oh, so you think I can't fight?

Sypher · February 2015

I'll say this, at 70cp I had so much fun pvping.. Even more fun than live.

at 3600cp.. I'm very worried.

Looking forward to. So much so that I can't play live for more than 30mins at a time for the past 3 weeks.

It's not worth it . Things will be broke for so long again if it goes live like this . I want content too but I'd rather play another game while I'm wIting for this update .

I think, that while my Templar proactively tanks and DPS's 4 or 5 people and heals, that you can cloak away, re-position, and hit someone with a lethal arrow so we can take down larger groups one by one...

Gargragrond · February 2015

The thought of 1.6 going live terrifies me.

I just don't like it

. Combat feels very unresponsive, weapon swap is worse than ever, glass cannons will 1 or 2 shot you even in full heavy armor tank spec etc,. not to mention the headache inducing inflated number scheme. It took better part of the year to get most bugs and imbalances ironed out of the live - I assume it will take another year to get 1.6 working.. Could we have a legacy 1.5 server where we could continue playing the game we enjoy?

Armitas · February 2015

The thought of 1.6 going live terrifies me.

I treasure every moment I have left on Live.

I look at the feed back for my class, and other classes, then look at the patch notes and wonder why I even bother. They gave us a morph that the game doesn't even support (igneous weapons) then butchered our highest cost skill, (ash cloud) while removing the only morph that might have saved it. I just do not understand how you can believe igneous weapons is okay when the game does not support an effective use of it.

Aside from a handful of people everyone on the forums has given negative feedback on the new EXTREME stat numbers. Yet no word on if these numbers are going live. Seriously where are we going to be in 8 years if we are already going to be at 40k health within the first year. It won't be long till our health is at 120,000. That is just cheesy. According to ZOS they went with these changes due to a group of players giving feed back about the champion system not feeling substantial enough. So they made all these changes in silence over the following month and then notified the actual community a month before release where it's too late to change it.

The whole thing makes me sick to my stomach because I love this game and I am terrified for what 1.6 will do to it. A lot of players are coming back, if they see this as a mess they will promptly leave. It's better for people to wait and be pleased than to receive it and dislike it.

stefan.gustavsonb16_ESO · February 2015

This patch is important for the survival of the game. Basically, 1.6 is a "make or break" moment for the PC/Mac platform, their one shot at getting it right and finding a new audience after a year of mistakes. Considering that, I really think they should take better care to make it work before they release it.

Quoted for being the truth when it comes to melee Magicka Nightblades. I want to be an Elder Scrolls Nightblade, not some 'rogue' inspired by other, lesser games.

For too long MA NBs had to try to split magica and stamina, just to be half as effective with class skills and weapons skills. I cant wait for the patch so i can go full stamina and be more effective with everything. My base magika will be fine for buffs like Blur and vanish.

Magus · February 2015

The thought of 1.6 going live terrifies me.

The game was pretty balanced across the classes but I have a strong preference for magicka builds, so I'm not fond of many of the changes. Someone at ZOS really has a crush on Legolas. So many things will become unbalanced with all the changes. Once CS grinding happens, new players will never have a chance to catch up and the power differential will be huge. Right now, as a VR1 you can kill VR14 and once you get to VR14 you are caught up, aside from some passives. You just needed to know how to fight each class... hint, running into a vamp DK and feeding him ultimate and then standing in his bat swarms while shooting his reflecting scales with a bow, only gets you into a highlight video.

ThyIronFist · February 2015

I have mixed feelings. I will give the patch a couple of weeks when it gets released, if it still suffers from a lot of issues weeks after it's released, then I'm afraid I am done.

I'm just going to stay the hell out of Cyrodiil come 1.6 and carebear it up grinding CP until I want to blow my brains out and then grind some more. Maybe by the time I get a fair number of CP they'll fix some of the more troubling issues I saw in PTS and I can come play again. Who knows, maybe by then Imperial City will be released. At this rate I'm expecting it to be the freaking PvP *expansion* content.

sKorcheD · February 2015

I'm terrified that champion system is the new grind. Total disappointment from me.

leeux · February 2015

The thought of 1.6 going live terrifies me.

So, basically... IMHO people that like stamina builds will love the new game (while their new OPness exists...) and people that like magicka builds seems to dislike/oppose it.

I'm a magicka healer build, so I do not like the changes... I've toyed with a stamina templar build while leveling on live and I really liked it, but come 1.6 I have to commit to it completely and forego healing, since I cannot respec each time someone in my guilds needs help with heals on a dungeon. I'll completely miss the freedom of changing builds on the fly just by changing gear sets.

On the other hand, I'm not a competitive player so I can spend a few months chasing the last PvE achievements until I get bored and leave, without going back into Cyrodiil again, for all I care. And because I'm not competitive, I don't care about the CS at all... I'd probably play the game and get the points as I go... don't care at all if I get one each day, or one per week...

But I have to say that It's sad for me to see how they're ruining the competitive side of (what could have been, in the long turn,) a good game.

rsciw · February 2015

The thought of 1.6 going live terrifies me.

I absolutely hate the pigeonholing into stamina or magicka class, ranged or melee, and making hybrid builds worthless...

Play the way you want, my a.$ The more they spam that phrase, the more I think they don't know what it means.

technohic · February 2015

Hurry up and release 1.6! I'm sick of 100% healing debuffs & WoE/ purge bug.

Meh. Bring it on. I will play it as it is. Sometimes that means trying a stupid build just to avoid cookie cutters, and other times it means a complete cookie cutter and anything in between. Changes mean new ways to look at what is and isn't the main stream for builds.

Sallington · February 2015

The thought of 1.6 going live terrifies me.

They are giving veteran players the shaft and welcoming brand new players with a brand new game.

Those of us who have been subbing since launch basically bankrolled "Tamriel Unlimited Ultimate Plus Xtreme", and now ZOS is just looking forward to all the new box sales. Whether we stick around or not doesn't really matter to them. Judging by their recent decisions, they'd rather just have us gone.

wrathofrraath · February 2015

Dont know how I feel about Tamriel...um Limited. I play a caster DK not alts just one main and I am going to miss having Unstable Flame on my bar since it's presence has graced my ability bar since before the game was even released. Stam DKs asking for a stam whip ha ! Be lucky you have unstable, pyromancy from ardent flame tree has been reduced to engulfing flames / molten whip spam for casters let us keep what is left of the ashes of caster builds (pun fun) Whatever vigor grants your warrior to summon flames from your stamina pool is beyond me. Why do I need flames of oblivion anymore when inner light does the same crit and gives me more magicka / recovery instead of reducing it ? Oh well more of a reason to kill those flame liners taunting us with our old AOE ability.

Actually when testing today, Inferno gave 20% crit as opposed to the 10% from Magelight. They don't stack though, always the highest applies.
Isn't reflected in the tooltip so I wrote a /bug, but maybe it's intended who knows (wouldn't be nice having guild skills do better than redundant class skills).
