They made a fix for like 95% of the problems we have been having. How can you not like this?
Honestly I trust and expect the bugs to get mostly sorted out. I don't like this because I wanted more actual changes to be made. Even if they wound up rolling back, they're ignoring a ton of feedback and refusing to even let us test out other possibilities, ex: battle spirit number tweaks, stam regen while blocking, racial passives, abilities being double nerfed by battle spirit, etc.
Fixes are great, but I wanted a chance to test new things. I have zero incentive to try anything on the PTS right now tbh.
you can do that testing and more chances when you make your own game.
What? lol How is it relevant that I'm not developing a game? I'm on a test server and they won't let us test new things because they won't change anything based on the feedback, that's my complaint.0 -

✭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.
Overtaunting was a good mechanic, removing it unless multiple people are taunting the same enemy is stupid in my opinion. Sure it lowers the skill needed to tank long fights, making it more accessible, but zero stam regen effectively ruins this, just adding a whole different kind of skill gap between good and bad tanks.. Not that zero stam regen changes anything other than basically making any PvE healer that isn't templar useless. Good to see they encourage unique playstyles ..2 -
ThyIronFist✭✭✭✭✭Just curious, why do Argonians get their healing received buffed from 6 to 9 percent while the Nord damage reduction stays at 6%?
I'm pretty sure I heard you guys were talking about buffing Nords damage reduction to 9% as well.
Don't get me wrong though I'm glad Argonians and Nords get buffed.The Elder Zergs Online

Thanks for the qq Bretons and Dark Elves. Well done
They should add race signs next to player names, so I can go out and torture Breton and Dunmer player for this.
Breton here. I like the change to the High-elves.
If High-elfs should get a buff it should be their elemental damage and not their regen that should be buffed.
Bretons spell-resist should be made to match it if that happens. Bretons has allways been the defensive counterpart
to the offensive high-elf. So more sustain insterd of more damage didnt make sence to me IF a buff is needed.
I agree. Well, they should actually increase our Magicka by 2%. Because this is the most horrible thing. Hell even 1% ! It's about the numbers you know ? A Breton can't be equal to Altmer, this is a crime. As long as Altmer has more Magicka than Breton, everything is fine and order is restored.
They could give Breton 5% cost reduction or so, even though 3% reduction is superior to 9% Magicka regen in an age, where everyone is spamming abilities.Auri-El is my lord,

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".
Except health regen is worthless in this game. Zos specifically, wrobell even stated, they realized health regen sucked and replaced it to give more balance between stamina and magicka builds. In fact, it was one of the lease used stones. They also gave spell damage stone instead of penetration to help with the balance.
Thats the exact problem. Someone states "health regen is worthless" and instead of making it attractive again by balancing it out comparing it with other stones, simply decides to remove it.
The way of thinking "its least used so we should remove it" is silly. Are we going to have a whole class removed just because its least used class?Edited by Rinmaethodain on August 12, 2015 7:42PM1 -

Buuuut, that's not enough. As long as Bretons have 10% Magicka and Altmer 10% Magicka, this waaar is not going to end. Give Altmer 12% Magicka and everything is how it should be. I wish I could kiss the person on ZoS, who at least started an attempt to give Altmer what they needed so desperately. Was it Eric ?

- This is part of our ongoing iteration based on your feedback and may or may not be adjusted further, or even rolled back, before going to the Live servers. We'd like to see how this feels on PTS, so please try it out and let us know what you think!

@Xael,Does this mean to get vr15/16 drops we are limited to Imperial City?
no, there was a separate itemization thread and it's probably in the PTS 2.1 update patch notes somewhere, that vr15/16 drops are also available from PvE group dungeons (if scaled to vr15/16), and from undaunted chests (assuming you are vr 15/16 at the time). Vr15/16 items will also be available as Cyrodiil PvP Rewards for the Worthy (I think).
Update: as per @MaximusDargus, only bosses and minibosses drop high level gear in the old group dungeons. This was not clear in the itemization thread.
Also this new guide to areas of the IC says that you need to run the new IC dungeons in VET mode to get v16 gear drops, and kinda implies that the nonvet version - and possibly other group dungeons? - will only drop gear at v15, sorta like how DSA and vDSA give different level loot.
Hm.... probably yes. We'll have to wait and see.Also does this imply sets like Way of Air and Martial Knowledge will stay at vr14?
Update: Group dungeon bosses currently have a chance of dropping these sets at v12 (I got some in today's pledge runs). Will these scale up? Don't know... and probably not. There was another posting a while ago indicating that special dungeon sets like Worm Cult, Silks of the Sun and such that drop at v12 in some vet dungeons... will NOT be scaling up to higher ranks in the new content. That might be a misunderstanding (or bad memory) or might change based on feedback or the whims of the devs.Edited by Pyr0xyrecuprotite on August 13, 2015 6:13PM0 -

what would you suggest then. even if they made it 500 health regen it would not be worth it. there is simply no viable health recovery build. yes I do think this needs to be revisited at some point. Lets get magicka and stamina balanced first.2 -

OLD DUNGEONS -> Only bosses and minibosses will have chance to drop VR15/16 gear resulting in 3 tops 6 pieces of VR15/16 gear per run.
In comparision both two new dungeons limited to DLC will have all monsters have chance to drop VR15/16 gear.
So its not that simply pretty as you said "vr15/16 drops are also avaliable from PvE group dungeons"Edited by Rinmaethodain on August 12, 2015 8:14PM3 -

I can live with this. I still think Argonians are the runt of the litter when it comes to racial passives. I just have one question: does healing received count as player spells/abilities or does that apply to potions as well (I honestly don't know). If so, this buff, in addition to potions, will be quite a big boost.. and I'm happy with that.- Argonian

Yes, yes, yes, yes, Alot of us want the IC to actually be a prize and a place you can somewhat control and lock enemies out of. Then you can actually do the PVE inside and not see an enemy zerg come around the corner every few minutes and take all your stones. There will still be small skirmishes buts thats what we want. gaining and losing control of IC makes it alot more exciting.2 -

Kerioko✭✭✭✭Nightblade: (Siphoning) - "Increased the duration of Siphoning Strikes and Siphoning Attacks to 15 seconds from 10 seconds."
Rank IV still shows as 10 seconds on tooltip and still only lasts 10 seconds. I also find the regen from this to be crazy (almost 1K magicka and stamina from each light attack and 10% chance for 2K on all attacks...someone who light attack weaves will never run out of resources if they keep this up constantly (even if they have almost no stat regen). This is about the equivalent of making spell symmetry have no health cost or making dark deal an instant cast!

✭✭@Pirhana7_ESO no cause it's just gonna cause a repeat of buff servers by making city servers thus making only 1 server actually used for pvp while the other 3 are gonna be a factions city server and thats best case worst case is elitest pvp guilds own 2 or even 3 servers thus completl locking out the other 2 factions for a dlc that they paid for.

This is a step in the right direction, and not that bad. I still am hoping that ZOS will ditch the Amphibious passive altogether and create a cool passive that keeps with the regenerating lizard theme WITHOUT a consumable attached to it. Why are lizards the only race to have a consumable attached to a passive? It's just wonky, IMHO.
But, again, I'm happy to start seeing some love for the lizards. The Nords still need some love as well.
