Natch Potes! (sneak peek for next week)

Creative Director
Quick sneak peek at a few PTS natch potes for next week, with some commentary. The actual patch note is in bold.
Keep walls can no longer be repaired when between 95% and 100% health while under attack.
"Troll repairing" as some people affectionately call it has been removed. We will be watching feedback on this change closely.
Fixed an issue where your character’s movement speed was 10% slower when your weapons were unsheathed.
A little background on this one... the design with character movement has always been you should move faster with weapons sheathed. Back in update 9 we fixed a bug where that wasn't happening. We've decided to change the design and are removing the 10% run speed penalty for having your weapons unsheathed. Thanks for all the feedback on this and we'd definitely love for people to provide new feedback on this change after playing it on PTS.
Poison Injection (Poison Arrow morph): Fixed an issue where this morph’s bonus damage to low-health targets was applying to equipped Poisons and the Poisoned status effect.
This is the "Ravage Health Bug" that some PVP players have been running into. Thanks to Nafirian on Twitch for reporting it with such great repro steps.
Tri Focus: Reverted the bug fix that caused Shock Heavy Attacks to not splash damage to nearby enemies during the entire channeled attack. The tooltip of Tri Focus has been updated to reflect this change.
This one is similar to the movement speed issue. The original design was the splash damage would only hit on the last tick. We fixed a bug where this wasn't happening and after feedback and evaluation we decided to change the design and revert the fix.

My guild mate who ran VMSA 45,678,453,456 times to get his Sharpened Lightning Staff will be pleased. :-)

✭✭✭✭✭Thank you Rich! You are awesome!Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.2 -

✭@ZOS_RichLambert are you guys working in a fix for the stuck in combat bug? Is not only really annoying when trying to mount or swap gear/skills, but for a NB a big problem because you can't sneak, the "eye" remains open even if you haven't hit anyone for the last 2 minutes, is almost imposible to escape with cloak nowadays. How hard the fix for this would be? something like "if i haven't hit (or got hit) by anything in the past X seconds, i should be out of combat" won't work?2 -

Noooooooo!!! Why?!! Its a legitimate strategy! Sometimes that makes all the difference, you are at a keep by yourself.. enemy starts hitting the wall, you troll repair your little heart out while waiting for reinforcements. I mean its not like a troll repair cant be broken. Why this change now?

PS4_ZeColmeia✭✭✭✭✭@ZOS_RichLambert could you guys implement a locked thread in the developer's section that covers all known issues, and separate then into known, developing fix, testing fix (should disclose fix at this time), pts fix, closed.
You can see we love more information than not, and thus would clear redundant and oft repeated threads related to issues
This + quarterly developer vision (eso live, article, etc. ) would honestly quell our concernsPSN: ***___Chan (3 _s)

Great

Now some creativity to give the Ice staff a desirable and unique character that is practical viable

We should have fought for our village and not have backed down, with our tail between our legs. Now my home village is in shambles, the houses burning, the invaders feasting.I swear every day to Shor that after Molag Bal has been defeated, I will hunt down the invaders and restore peace in Bleakrock and drink my mead with my friends at the market place".PC-EU0 -
Forztr✭✭✭✭Speaking of troll repairing. How about fixing the ability to repair outpost doors whilst siege shots are flying through the space where a door used to be. Since there is no door to hit until it's repaired and whilst it's not being damaged you can repair it. I'm seeing more instances of many missiles flying through an open door and then whoosh as if by magic a door appears.1 -

Our eyes once were blinded, now through him do we see. Our hands once were idle, now through them does he speak. And when the world shall listen, and when the world shall see, and when the world remembers, that world will cease to be. - Miraak0 -

Love the other fixes, and thanks for listening.
But this one is not great, IMO. Troll repairing often allowed a single player scouting keeps or small group to delay a siege long enough for reinforcements to arrive, reducing the amount of near-PvDooring. It's also easily counterable: about 4 timed siege will break troll repair; so a small group on the outside isn't at an unreasonable disadvantage provided they have some basic organization and communication.
Granted it's annoying when there's a dozen zerglings inside repairing; but I suspect the fix is worse.7 -

Celas_Dranacea✭✭✭✭✭It's very easy to see that you guys work very hard and make a huge effort to throw the community love. I hope the haters on these forums aren't slowly chipping away at your passion for the game - I hope you are getting the positive energy you need to keep working hard.
