Things are just too damn overwhelming at the moment. Lol. I need @Asmael to throw some numbers and percentages out, to make sense of all of these changes. That's who I'm checking for. I'm not checking for the streamers and this and that online celeb. N'ah. I'm checking for the data crunchers and mathematicians to break it down. Lmao. Where is @Sharee @Joy_Division and @Thelon at right now? They are the ones who can save us, and bring logic to all of this. Help us pls!

All these changes accomplish is pidgeon-holing Magicka characters into being FORCED to use a Destro/Resto staff.
With the drop in sustain and increase in ability cost, my dual-wielding magicka Templar will suffer greatly, and "just weave in heavy attacks" will have ZERO effect to alleviate that as heavy attacking with my swords will only restore Stamina.
Nope, build diversity goes right out the window.
If you are a magicka-based character, it becomes "use a staff or don't bother playing".
By the Gods... these changes coming with Morrowind suck all the way around. There is NOTHING to be excited for...
May as well forget the whole "play your way" or even the "we want you to be able to build the character YOU want to build. Because if these changes go "live", if you're not using a staff for magicka characters, you're ***.
Are you possibly even listening @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_RichLambert ? Oh, who am I kidding... of course you aren't listening. Wrobel just gets to destroy the game in whatever manner he deems fit... and just going by ZOS's 3-year history with this game, if the changes are on the PTS, they're all-but assured to make it through to the Live servers...
Oh no! You have to grab a staff! The humanity! Maybe if you grabbed one earlier you woundn't need to run a ridiculous amount of regen in the first place.
And you can also stand in your Templar circle.
Let's be real ... you were never playing how you wanted to begin with. You were playing the way your spreadsheet was telling you was the mathematically best way to play. Now that the math is working out differently you're freaking out. Just give it some time, swap a few abilities and you'll be fine.
You know what... I'm not even going to bother with you.
As the morning crawls on, I'm losing my will to care about this game at a faster and faster pace...
What am I being willfully ignorant of? You're one of the few people who has been playing on console just as long as I have. You should be welcoming changes that keep things interesting.
The worst thing that will possibly happen is that the main trials times will be slower. The world is not ending. You just need to adjust. Do you really not have 500 pieces of end game gear just lying around in your bank looking to be used? Give something new a try.

My initial thoughts are that ZoS has the right idea but has gone overboard. I don't mind the free and "easy" sustain / CP nerfs. But I do very much mind the group coordination / synergies that have been over-nerfed. And I do think, at least on paper, DKs and Templars have been hit harder by these changes.
I think ZoS will meet us halfway here and relent on some of these nerfs. Just a hunch, but I'm staying positive as of right now.

The main problem is in the patch notes. They nerfed sustain across the board, a bit too much. It's essentially toast.
Sustain was always overrated and a significant majority of people ran way more than what was necessary. You can play any content in this game with sub 1000 regen if you heavy attack enough.

Oh, we will. We will survive. But "surviving" and "living" are different things. Breaking news here.
I'm the one who is a bit horrified by patch notes. Oh well, you'll have to forgive me.
You will have to forgive the person who just recently got enough gear, CP and understanding of the game to try vMoL. Just try, mind you. I'm not sure I can complete it now.
We just spent 4 hours on 1st boss. I think I'm going to dream about dark-blue pillars this night. Endless respect and admiration to those who were with me. We wiped and wiped, over and over and over. But noone has given up.
And we made it. We made it. Tried Twins just to see mechanics and called it a night.
You will have to forgive me for being upset. For being upset with a stressful, horrifying feeling of being put on clock. And time is running out fast.
I have to complete vMoL until June. With all my and other peoples' RL. Because after? Well, after you'll have to be 600cp solid to make it through. And god knows when I'll have another chance. Grinding CP is a very long and tedious process. 6 month maybe?
You will have to forgive me for being upset with a fact, that when new content arrives, I'll not be able to finish the old one. It is, after all, reasonable and logical. Why on earth should new content make old more accessible? Totally should be the other way around. Noone needs old content when the new one arrives, so go-go-go, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock.
Yes. Totally normal, reasonable situation. So stupid of me to be upset with it.

I logged in today, and noticed that 1 of my guilds has damn near 7 or 8 people total (myself included) from its original 40 or so. I asked if the guild was hacked or something along these lines, and was told from the GM that people quit after reading the patch notes. Dropped guild and all. In 1 of my other guilds, people were discussing about how they plan on selling their accounts. And were in talks of how they went on ahead and cancelled pre-orders. It's bad. For once the crap really did hit the fan.

@vamp_emily Nuuuuu! It even got to you too? I hardly ever see you complain about anything, or make any gestures about you being displeased with things. Doom really is approaching when even Emily is complaining.
@SantieClaws There are dark moons approaching. Are there any khajiit spells or things of the sort to brighten our future?

No spells. No magic. Just the eternal cycle where we can be sure that a bright dawn always follows the night - no matter how dark.
There will still be taverns and friends. We will change and we will learn to survive in new ways.
We will endure and we will loot as much decorative wax as possible along the way yes.

They'll leave, rage, complain, check for the latest builds, come back and respec to the new meta before repeating the process again in 3-6 months.
Well.... not only people paid for the game... They paid for "subscription" (back in the day that it was require to play, before B2P model)...

Right and heavy attack = low dps and in dungeons it = gtfo! + kick!

No, the worst thing is that many (most?) people will not be able to complete a significant percentage of the veteran content, which is littered with DPS checks. If you think that the game will survive on people who quest and do normal dungeons, you are mistaken. There has to be a balance of content. All difficult or all easy will result is a dead game.
The problem is not that they are adjusting (murdering) sustain, the problem is the majority of content in the game is balanced around high DPS, and they aren't adjusting that, only the sustain.

People do complain about PvE balance, what are you even talking about. Even Alcast himself said that Sorcs are overperforming (https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/3963459/#Comment_3963459).
And now breaking news. Get ready.
Hardcore PvErs do MOREMOREFASTER in extremes for leaderboards. And they perfectly understand it.
People in general do MOREMOREFASTER, because it is the only way. The only way.
All vTrials have enrage mechanics. No 240k group DPS? No defeating vet Rakkhat, no completing vMoL. The same goes for vet HM Mage (last boss in vAA). You have a very short time to kill her. Didn't manage? Bye.
Vet HM Ruins of Mazzatun is DPS race. Burn everything or die.
People do not care so much about leaderboars. They care about completing the content. It will - it will - be near impossible with changes.
Please. Please, stop talking about things you neither know or understand.
Go try vMoL and vRoM first. Hell. Try even vAA, which is considered to be simplest vTrial. You'll see what we're talking about. Why we are concerned.
