PTS Patch Notes v2.1.1

ZOS_GinaBruno

OVERVIEW
The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited v2.1.1 is an incremental patch on the PTS that fixes a number of issues in Imperial City (including some of the common crashes many of you were experiencing), gameplay, itemization, UI, and more. We’ve made several changes to Imperial City, its dungeons, and the Tel Var Stone system based on your feedback, and are also testing out new rulesets to enter Imperial City itself in this patch. All PC/Mac European megaserver characters will be copied over with this patch, and the size of the update is approximately 6GB for English, 5GB for German, and 4GB for French. .

Thanks to everyone for sending us your feedback and bug reports so far, and we look forward to seeing what you think about this latest iteration!

BIG CHANGES / UPDATES / NEW FEATURES
Templates

• We've updated the PTS with additional templates for VR16! These templates come with all the new item sets that are included with Imperial City including the new crafted sets, the item sets you can purchase with Tel Var Stones, the item sets that are dropped in both the Imperial City Prison and the White-Gold Tower, and the new Monster Mask sets for those dungeons!
• The previous VR14 and level 35 templates are still available for use.

Alliance War & Imperial City Updates

• The Haderus campaign will be closed for this round of Imperial City testing on the PTS. Everyone will be granted a free home campaign reassignment.
• A new campaign – Sword of the Crusader – is available to join!
  • This campaign has a 7-day duration, with all objectives in Cyrodiil contributing one point towards victory.
• This testing period includes new rules for accessing Imperial City. To get into Imperial City from Cyrodiil, your Alliance must own your native six keeps defined per alliance as follows:
  • Aldmeri Dominion: Alessia, Bloodmayne, Brindle, Roebeck, Faregyl, Blackboot
  • Ebonheart Pact: Chalman, Blue Road, Drakelowe, Arrius, Kingscrest, Farragut
  • Daggerfall Covenant: Dragonclaw, Aleswell, Ash, Glademist, Rayles, Warden

KNOWN ISSUES
Art & Animation

• When an enemy knocks you down, your character will appear to pop up instantly rather than displaying the proper animation.

Imperial City

• Patrolling Horrors will occasionally target group members who are in safe zones. They won’t actually damage you in safe zones, though, and will prioritize targets that are not in safe zones.
• Although rare, your game may crash if you interrupt the Sigil of Imperial Retreat while it’s being cast.
• You may see black boxes in areas that you cannot access; these will be fixed before Imperial City gets published.

FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS

• DLC Game Pack
• Base-Game Patch

• Removed all restrictions to deposit Tel Var Stones into your bank.
• Greatly increased the amount of Tel Var Stones found in treasure chests in Imperial City.

OGLezard

hm.....not to much in there.

SturgeHammer

@ZOS_GinaBruno is Leeching Strikes exactly the same as live or does the PTS version have the same proc chance on All Attacks similar to Siphoning Attacks on live?

ryanmjmcevoy_ESO

Kinda...disappointing...

sebban

So still 0% stamina regen while blocking? You must really hate tanks. Good luck to all the people trying to find tanks for PvE content.

Stop ruining PvE content due to your inability to balance PvP.

ScruffyWhiskers

So is there still some debate about the 50% damage reduction being lowered? Will you test out a lower setting like 35% or 40% in an update before it goes live?

Maotti

Still no reverting of the edit to collectibles you guys did! Highly disappointing!

Chrlynsch

Werewolf armor and spell resistance increase? Eric mentioned on live.... no notes...

And ZOS, people who apparently:

- dont play tanks
- apparently hate tanks

Still force upon as "0 stamina regen while blocking" trying to make us "happy" claiming its "for our own good"

actosh

Nothing for dks at all but the qq by nbs to get the buff timer for siphoning increased was successfull.....gz ^^

La increase was not necessary at all. Still no reason to pick ha in most cases.

Anazasi

•Twice-Born Star: Fixed an issue that was, in rare cases, allowing some player characters to obtain multiple Mundus Boons after losing the set bonus

ROFL. One of the most common exploits on live by PVP players and you call it RARE....Man that PR person is really doing their job.......

Siphoning
Increased the duration of Siphoning Strikes and Siphoning Attacks to 15 seconds from 10 seconds.
Leeching Strikes (Siphoning Strikes morph): This ability is now a toggle once more, and reduces weapon and spell power while active.

Thank you much for this change, but are you guys still not looking at the increase in health returned? Regardless of this, Leeching strike will remain weak and literally worthless, as 2% in health is not going to save anyone. It would still be nice to see an increase in health returned from this ability to 4 or even 5%, for then it 'might' be worth the reduction in weapon/spell power (and a place on the ability tray..)

Otherwise, nice to see it back to a toggle, it has a lovely visual effect for RP at least.

Clarebear

What about Racial changes?

It has nothing to do with tanks, it is blocking in general is too powerful. Everyone blocks and blocks, not just tanks. tanks are still far better at blocking. Now you just cant block perminately unless you sacrafice other things and use a set designed for it.

Disappointed to not see:

• The angle of the map being fixed
• City on the Brink being made available from the Imperial Sewers Alliance Base General
• The Sublime Protector achievement being fixed to include The Lock and the Legion

Edit: Changes to City on the Brink are in, missed from the Patch Notes.

ZOS wants zero stamina recovery to make tanking more interesting while allowing infinity taunting that's simplifies the game.

And thank you very much ZOS for zero stamina regen.

So still 0% stamina regen while blocking? You must really hate tanks. Good luck to all the people trying to find tanks for PvE content.

Stop ruining PvE content due to your inability to balance PvP.

And ZOS, people who apparently:

- dont know what tank is
- dont play tanks
- apparently hate tanks

Still force upon as "0 stamina regen while blocking" trying to make us "happy" claiming its "for our own good"

This change was not because of PvP but becuase of PvE...

They want to diversify how a tank plays instead of just block casting...

ZOS still decides to remove completely from game "health regeneration" mundus stone.

Instead of creating space for it to provide fair choice of:
-max stamina/health/magicka
- regen stamina/health/magicka

for some weird reason players will be able to choose from anything but health regen.
Create new mundus stone for health regen (or stamina regen, because the only reason they removed health regen is to make space for bandaid stamina regen fix)? NOPE
Merge some lesser mundus stones into one to make space for stamina regen (and keep health regen without change)? NOPE
Play as you want, and have choices what to pick (pick one mundus stone, sacrifice others)? NOPE if you want to pick health regen.

ZOS still decides to support unfair access to VR15/VR16 materials by making them exclusively DLC only, by the "VR15/VR16 gear in old dungeons will drop only from minibosses and bosses".

They made a fix for like 95% of the problems we have been having. How can you not like this?

• The Patrolling Horrors in the Sewers are now more audible as they approach to give you more warning of impending doom.
• Combat music in the Imperial City now scales better with the intensity of the battle.

Awesome, because "Angry Bagpipe" was not as inspiring as I thought it would be, even if it did work for William Wallace...

FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS, BASE-GAME PATCH

[*] Fixed an issue which was causing the Sharpened weapon trait, as well as the Champion passives Piercing and Spell Erosion, to act multiplicatively instead of additively when combined with other penetration effects.

This should be fun.

Considering Sharpened by itself was fine, even Maces. The problem was the passive in 2h (Heavy Weapons) and DW (Twin Blade/Blunt) and the way it stacked with Sharpened Maul/Maces. A Sharpened Greatsword with points in the CP Piercing worked as intended. I can't wait to see the hamfist nerf.
