[Feedback] AD templates on EU server this week are lacking in quality

SLy_Kyti

Thanks for fixing it so we can indeed have AD templates this week (V16 Imperial City) however I find it lame that we have...

• No Wayshrines unlocked, not even Auridon or Craglorn. I mean really?
• Our Horses are not leveled making Cyrodiil's Horse simulator especially challenging
• While we have a WW token to use - the skill line is not leveled and unlocked at level 10 making me spend hours trying to do so and not in IC to test it.
• There are only a meager 50 potions, lockpicks and soul gems. I never go to Cyrodiil without more. Usually we have hundreds with templates.
• We only have 100k in gold. So buying inventory space to level provisioning or Alchemy is consuming a lot of that.
• Unable to test the Agility, Willpower and other sets as a dual wield dagger or sword etc as there is only one weapon.

I'd like to give a better test of the IC content for you ZOS but help me to do so please. The NA turn was so very bugged.

My NA EP feedback for this is:


Ya its pretty bad. I don't think anyone plans on using 100% IC gear for a setup, there is not a build for it..... I ran out of resources before I could kill a monster 1v1 in the districts.


What I don't understand is why they could not give us this gear on our characters that were copied from live. That is the real test..... I spent 30 minutes trying to configure a (half ass) playable character with the gear they gave me, and it sucked. I tried to PvE for about 2 minutes and I had my share of ass whippings. It was totally unplayable for me. I spent more time trying to configure a playable character out of trash gear selection. I could not solo 1 monster in pve.... My live character from the copy was still kick ass though, before they forced this template crap down our throats, I kicked a lot of ass with my build and gear.

I couldn't even change the color of the gear because all of my paint was locked......... It looks ok as is though.

But the playability is not there with this template and gear selection and it is not a very pleasant experience trying to play a template character. I give them a rating of 2 our of 10 because the gear does look neat. But that's it.

The 'tank' setup is not reflective of what many tanks are using. It comes with resilient yokeda of all things.

Will NA characters have a chance to have their characters again @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom? Before this is Live?

Will There be a small patch again before LIVE for PTS @ZOS_BrianWheeler ? Will Live also copy to PTS so we can continue to test?

I am mostly concerned about crafting sets, the new set pieces and Werewolf abilities as they affect my playing personally. As well as IC obviously. But as is I cannot test meaningfully.

All templates are like that, not just AD.

@bosmern_ESO If all templates are like that on EU then they are broken.

Been playing on PTS since launch, though took a recent break, this has not always been the case with the templates.

DEVS-
Because of the limited time we have to test, ZOS has been helpful (in the past) to make testing smooth, easy and relevant.
These new templates are not doing the job. Who wants to hit Cyrodiil with a un-leveled horse?
Who wants to run around Tamriel unlocking wayshrines to port to crafted sets locations? How do we know Molag Kena doesn't break Willows Path?

If you are only going to be concerned with the IC stuff ZOS...you are overlooking potential reverted bugs when this goes live. Testing IC content in ADDITION to what's already there in the code. How well IC DLC plays with your base game. This is a recipe for disaster, Stamina regen, Overload and certain sets aside.

If you played previous PTS's then you would know that templates never had crafts leveled, they never had 9/9 research for all traits, they never had maxed horses, no wayshrines discovered other then ones associated with the coming patch or where you spawn (used to be craglorn), and sometimes the never even had mages/fighters guild leveled.

There has also never been one set interfering with another item set in ESO history so I don't think you really have to worry if Molag Kena will interfere with Willows path. Right now EU players that have all that stuff can easily test them, or you could ask EU characters to make sets for you if you really need to.

When IC comes out its not going to interfere with quests in Auridon. If it had global changes like justice system then it might, but it doesn't. Everything in game that is broken/bugged that is not in Imperial city is broken/bugged on live servers which are probably being reported.
