PTS Patch Notes v3.0.0

Aiphaton

Im pretty sure im gonna quit playing that game, if Zenimax continues throwing their own game into the bin.
Srsly Stam Dk is just useless right now, templar will be even worse.
I dont know what Zenimax want... They should just remove Chps from PvP and then they dont have to nerf all those abillities.
Also Stamina Dk and Templar is now so *** for Pve, but hey thanks Zenimax

Niaver

A little bit worried about my main DK semistamina-tank.
Though I support the direction in which we go - damage and healing increase from the same resource is horrible, we still need to fix it for all abilities.

I think zos should remove gear, skills and cp from the game and just give everyone a stick as a weapon

Hey ZOS! Grats! You posted most disgusting patch notes ever. Keep going, u will ruin your own game soon
It seems like no one there have any idea about some balance especially in PvP
Really - better fix bugs that already exist.

Rittings

Ah yes... this is stroking the PVP players and dismissing out of hand the PVE content people. GREAT job... those PVP guys never seem to get anything changed for them - this makes a refreshing change.

Confirms for me that this household will be cancelling subscription, definitely NOT purchasing Morrowind - and moving to a different game. What is the release date for Kingdom Come: Deliverance again???

I'll have to login to PTS and test, but seems to me that Templars have been almost completely stripped off the Major Mending buff?

I understand the philosophy of making this buff more rare and tactical but Templars out of the 5 classes, should be the ones to have an easier access and higher uptime, I mean, it's the healing class by design.

Or just give everyone that novelty broom and bucket hat for free and let us duke it out in trials, PVP & battlegrounds.

I need to start PvP'ing more, so that way when I QQ about something, I'll get my way.

Rajajshka

I'm really disappointed in this update and not looking forward to it. The orb/shard changes look horrible, and since a lot of endgame builds min/max on some they're most likely gonna run out of the stat that isn't their primary one more often than the one they actually want to restore. Dragonknight in general is going to always be out of stats which is going to kill it in both pvp & pve.

Aaand now to choose a new main character for pvp again, considering my mag dk will probably be unplayable -_- anyone have any suggestions?

Tyrion87

Omg... nerf after nerf after nerf after.... to resource management.

These patch notes focus so heavily on them that everything connected even remotely with resource management was nerfed. I think it's just too much.

E.g. when we first heard about magician and arcanist CP changes, some people said: wait for the bigger picture. They will surely compensate it somehow.

And this bigger picture is even more dreadful.

Ah i see you are catering to the casual players and not caring about the hardcore players who put time into their builds to get the best possible. Amazing decision... truly just... amazing

If you could literally just revert back to thieves guild and leave it there for eternity that would be better than you trying and failing to make the game better. I do have my opinion on what you guys are doing to your game and i think i would get banned from the forums if i gave my opinion.

Also why introduce a new class when you can't even handle the 4 you already have? This will just create more bugs and problems.

And when will you stop making ideas yourselves and actually listen to what the people who have been here for 3 years+ want in the game and know whats best for it?

This is exactly how most of us feel. They are just listening to a small portion of people whispering in their ears. It's like Grimer Wormtongue has taken over at ZoS. They're slowly but surely killing trust in the Elder Scrolls franchise for me...

RIP repentance ... you will be remembered.

RIP DK, hello warden

Edit:
Guys srsly, first you reduce the buff time of igneous shield and reduce major mending also to 6 secs (which was somewhat fine after playing a while with it) and now you bind that buff to the shield (with no cost decrease which would be necessary), nerf battle roar and helping hands?
@ZOS_GinaBruno could one of you please tell us your vision for the dk? Totally equal atributes spend maybe? I don't understand why the dk needed another nerfhammer....

Tbh, aside from strict conditions/Ultimates no class should ever receive an easy major buff.

For the templar, the change means your healing acts as an execute more than a spam heal, especially when stacked with resto staff.

Hopefully this means less healing and more active ways to split damage across raids/less cheese heal spam in PvP unless strictly built for it (I.e pure healer without tank but dps or DPS with healing but no tanking).

Now Notice how mSorcs were un touched.

Arvs

Absolutely awful.

MyKillv2.0

I am very curious about the healing class. Rep and shards has kept Templars with a monopoly on the healing roles at end game. I hope these changes open the door for other classes now that Rep is dead and you can use orbs or shards. So as DK,NB,or Sorc Healer, you can compete.

rophez_ESO

So, basically, nerf old classes into the dirt (RIP DK) so we'll pony up the money for your new FOTM Warden?

Welp it was fun boys, gonna park my Dk in a grave and go play another game

ZOS trying to force people to play like launch day, when everyone was a noob running around light attacking people.

Can't say I'll miss current game balance though, oh well.

hmm i wonder what class the devs play?

Hate1911

Mag Sorc OP always with or without nerf

Rohamad_Ali

Wow . This is going to be a huge challenge .

Eyesinthedrk

Good job on limiting roots, and gank blade damage. Also hoping the changes are enough to break the heavy armor Templar meta in cyrodiil.

getemshauna

Magblade's single good side - resource management nerfed. Twisting path still doesn't scale with Thaumaturge, promised Grim Focus still didn't changed, I'm out of this game.

BloodMagicLord

Nerfed everything apart from the strongest class in the game, gg Zeni.

I think it is as previous PTS - more planned changes will be in next weeks pts builds.
