Orc is bad

Lord_Dexter wrote: »

Dark Elf Vampires are dommed, Imperials 1% gold gain? bretons and High Elf are further improved along with Khajit and Nords, Argonians are now called healers..

Why even bothered Orc and Wood Elf?

Redguard buff is funny indeed, who wants Consumed Food duration buff?

Orc is badass strong as certain builds anyway and now the 5% healing received will make it even stronger in pvp
Wood elf is already the best pvp ganker.

NEW FEATURES / UPDATES / BIG CHANGES

World Building
A few new buildings were added to several zones, and the zone maps were updated accordingly. These buildings are not accessible at this time. In some of these locations, wildlife, and/or bystanders were removed or adjusted to make way for the new construction. In addition, some residents have been moved from their homes, and those buildings are no longer accessible. These changes are in preparation for the upcoming release of Player Housing.[/b]

There better have been due process for the residents of Tamriel who were relocated, many of which are very low income and had lived in those areas for generations. Also, I hope a full environmental impact assessment was completed to determine how to mitigate for lost wildlife habitat caused by this new construction.

Contraptions

Is that all? Quite underwhelming honestly.

FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS, BASE GAME PATCH

Audio
General

• Fixed an issue where the weapon charge depletion sound was playing upon exiting a conversation.

So that is what that sound was...

Awwwww.

I must admit, that went better than I expected.

I am not seeing a lot to complain about after the first read.

Also, I suspect that they are going to stage in additional changes not listed here over the next few weeks. These are not the final patch notes.

Love the Khajiit and Argoninan change
Great Work!

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom is this the full notes. Really no SORC changes. No DK changes. Just a visual change and call it George. LOL get ready for a second round of forums. I just know now not to waste my time contributing to them...

You've wasted your time posting in this thread 3-4 times already, the reason no sorc changes were made is because the vast majority of players aren't seeing the issues you are, since they've taken time to learn and adapt. L2P issue

Yes yes yes L2P and all that uh huh good job kid

No new motifs being added to learn from this DLC?

Yes, there are some. We're tracking down what the note should say, as it was missed. We'll add it shortly.

The sorc problems are real. I guess everyone *but* you sees them. You just aren't hearing as much about them anymore because most people have accepted that Zos is too incompetent to balance classes in their game and have move on to other things/other games.

Ilsabet

Oh hey, I was smart to make my templar healer an Argonian.

My Breton isn't quite sure she likes being put into a pvp corner, though...

You buffed the strongest stamina class in the game, in Khajits. Why did you think this was a good idea? The only reason behind this buff is to force people to change to khajit and make money. Give us another option for stamina. What the hell?

hell right man, because we know most of all are imperial and redguard, so we buff khajit so all buy clown store race change

Nothing new for Sorcs. Just a crap class forever more and now this necropotence nerf, the only damn thing I had to look forward too. Screw it. Just delete the SORC class. Wow does ZOS just suck. Thus was the last shred of belief I had in this company.

Wow, what a drama queen.

Izaki

I'm liking what I see ! Except that the increase in CPs is kinda ridiculous... Its done in less than a day.

I'd love to see the new Monster Helm sets !

By the way, when is this patch coming out exactly ?...

Papa_Hunt

I know this is going into testing, but when is this patch supposed to hit the live servers?

I'm guessing you have (or will have) an Argonian Healer. Because no-one in their right mind will want Agonians for anything else now.

At least before, there was some utility in boosting healing received (for both DPS and Tanks), but what use is healing done for anything other than a healer?

There's no diversity here at all. Absolutely none.

[*]Necropotence: This item set’s Max Magicka bonus has been changed to a flat value instead of a percentage.

Oh I knew it. How was I naive to believe, that ZoS would just buff something for a change instead of buffing and nerfing at the same time.

Now I wish it would just stay V12 instead. What's the point when the V16 version is much worse than as the V12 version is right now.

Can't have them buffing pets in any way now can we!

sentientomega

At what point would the appearance change token be consumed?

When you entered the appearance changer screen to take a note of your character appearance bar details and the like and then exit, or only when you make changes, confirm them and then exit?

DHale

There were no magic updates or ability changes inferred or promised. So much qq. At least they didn't break the racial passives.

pema

racial changes ain't a win... very dissapointed. Especialy with no removal of the skill line passives...
The "play the way you want" sort off gets more and more negated with these updates...
I hope we better get free racial changes... they change the passives... I don't like it at all...

The token is consumed when the changes are finalized. Mess around all you want at no cost

Child please that's Queen CPU Scientist Stormborn of the House Targaryen, First of Her Name, the Unburt, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons.

Badum tsss... Balance by ZoS... at least I will be able to switch my races on my magica chars to make them stamina (smart move, and in the next DLC magica classes get buffed so everyone who wants to stay competetive will switch again) and goood bye all magica toons

cote-bmsb16_ESO

That woodelf fall damage tho.. Wow. Probably re-roll a khahit. Thanks.

exiledtyrant

Are the new sets coming with jewelry and weapons? I like the red mountain set a lot but it would ruin my out setups if I had to wear 5 medium. I'm also glad the werewolf sets are getting some love.

Valorin

Thank you for patching.

Docmandu

Bah AP and Gold passive... do not like that direction one bit!!

Niaver

Well... the update is about Dungeons.
You are trying to sell two dungeons for 15$ and you didn't even bother to add vet modes to old dungeons. Yeah ZOS, dyes for crowns.

Moglijuana

So...no dragonknight changes?..I guess Magicka DK's will always be shafted. Thanks .

You seriously raised the cap by 30? only 30? I hate you so so so so so much Zenimax I really really do. You are lucky your riding the coat tails of Bethesda and the series they have made awesome.

EXACTLY. Inreasing it by 30, after aaaaaall these months is just adding insult to injury, not "giving us a break"...

Lokov

Hi ZOS, time to recognize a mistake has come. Just remove champion system from game. All will tell you thanks and it will be simpler to you to balance game. Less balance problems, less lags at Cyrodiil etc.

Clerics1985

Please just get rid of the Dunmer, you've killed any reason to EVER use him. Frost and shock damage from a Dunmer? wtf is that logic?
