Both Sypher and Deltia are gone. Alcast is staying as far as I know, but has made his dislike of these changes public in a video. I don't know about other prominent streamers/youtubers, but these three have long been an important source of positive public relations for Elder Scrolls Online as well as an important resource for players seeking tips on how to improve their characters in both PVP and PVE, how to level up crafting, etc. Their opinions matter to a lot of people. The public relations hit to the game from their negative public feedback regarding these patch notes cannot be underestimated.

(1) If you need to ask that question, you don't know squat about the game.
(2) And if you think content becomes more difficult for every player equally, you haven't read the patch notes thoroughly.
I may have missed something or the other in the patch notes yes, as to pve i can still do all the content in the game just the same as before except it may be a bit more difficult and i may need to use a different build. However the game is still balanced and pve content is still very much doable so whats the issue?
Questing is not the issue ... to many players PVE is synonymious to trails, raids, pledges, hence the more difficult and exept maelstrom solemly group based play (some call that endcontent for a reason ^^). Your version of PVE (as in questing, exploring the open world, do a public dungon etc) has little to nothing in common with this form of PVE exept, that its located outside Cyrodiil-PVPs areas.
I think we should get better terms for each kind of PVE ... newer players may (rightfully) not really see a difference (after all: everyone has done some questing ... not all of us do raids/trials etc) .
edit: btt:
I actually don't dread about the changes to CP. Its been worse with sustain during the first month' of eso and we survived that.
I am very furious about what ZOS did to the templar and I have sympathy for the ill-beaten NBs. The simple fact that classes are butchered (sry, but the wording "nerf" is just too positive imho) and the guts of trying to sell it as a "buff" to the playerbase makes me bitter. The nerve to talk about this changes to templars as if they are just a little tweakin' (yes, gina @ZOS_GinaBruno: I'll say it again) without even having the slightest idea about the class-abilities (28m radius healing ult?), the everyday weak performance expierienced by your playerbase (Come again: how am I supposed to target my heals when I am rubberbanding and abilities fire at will (or not at all) during combat?) is a clear sign of the "appreciation" you have for us. Least to say, its unprofessional to show your contempt this obvious.
The uninspired perspective for the templer class makes me weary. To me the changes to templars (not just these but summed up through the years) sound like: yeah we make a healerclass - but bc its healling its really bad at damage, crowd control, tanking and yeah bc its good at healing it not very mobile too, and yeah bc its good at healing (and latest: we want our new class to shine) we just let them equipp a restro staff for the major heal buff, the new kid gets whenever needed (for free ofc!) ...
Maybe some players think, its just templars drama... just keep in mind: ZOS is going to release a new chapter and a new class next year ...

✭It's because forums are full of the tiny percentage of players to whom this will make any diffrence, I don't use cost reduction, I've always used plenty of heavy attacks, never been kicked from any groups, pug or otherwise and I've finished everything except vet MoL which to be honest is already for masochists only, a good friend had a run with similar builds on the pats and was very happy, they just dumped points into weapon damage instead. -

✭✭✭Here's the thing though.
Every time a change comes, people cry that the sky is falling. Do I think the nerfs to templar in particular (being the class of my main) are great? No. Do I think the super-buffs to warden are great? No. But the name of the game with every patch in existence is ADAPT.
At the same time though, there's a different between not being ABLE to adapt, and simply just not WANTING to adapt.
If a person needs to adapt and CAN'T, then that's a serious issue that needs to be addressed. If a person CAN adapt but WON'T, then frankly they're just a big bubble-blowin' baby.
There are certain famous players who've quit that I would tend to put in the latter category.Edited by Saucy_Jack on April 23, 2017 4:43PMALL HAIL SNUGGLORR THE MAGNIFICENT, KING OF THE RNG AND NIRN'S ONE TRUE GOD!

Yeah you're missing the bit where not everyone, in fact not even the majority, give a damn about PvP.
You're missing the bit where PvE players - who are the significant majority - are sick and tired of seeing their play style, their class, their builds nerfed through the floor just because a vocal minority of PvPers whine when someone beats them.
Don't like getting beat in PvP you have two choices - 1) Git Gud 2) Stop Playing PvP.
I knew I was never going to get good enough at PvP to enjoy it as much as I would want, so I stopped playing PvP.
Not once, not ever, did I throw dolly out the pram and rant that X needs to be nerfed, because I knew those nerfs would have far more impact on PvE than they do on PvP because far fewer players regularly PvP.
All The Best
In all honesty though, Pve outside of vet trials is way way too easy. You can solo normal dungeons, 2 or 3 man most vet dungeons, normal trials always have half the people in heavy or spamming wrecking blow, most the world bosses are soloable, VMA is pretty easy to finish now, 4 dps can do just about any pledge - no need for tanks or healers...
I both PvP and Pve. More Pve than PvP in all honesty. Done VMA on 3 characters, done vet trials etc. So I'm not just a pvper making out Pve is easy. It is too easy in all honesty.
Anyway...
I'm fine with most things except:
Repentance change
Shards change
Igenous change (it means no major mending in PvP ever, wrong solution)
Battle roar changes
Siphoning changes
Everything else I'm ok with in all honesty. CP changes are brilliant imo.
So dks a non healing class is ok to have major mending and not templars? -

Again, not everyone wants to.
People keep saying people say the sky is falling every single time a new patch drops, and I want to ask, where are you geting this impression?
This is the first patch I've ever seen that could legitimately do serious damage to the game. The only other patch I can think of, was the DB base game patch, which removed bracing. While people didn't like the nerf, they didn't exactly think it was gamebreaking, just unneccesary.
So provide a source. -
Myyth✭✭✭✭✭I don't have infinite sustain or resources.
In fact, even with full CP in recovery and ability cost reduction plus full points in light armor skill reductions and every single attribute point put into magicka and nothing else, I still run out of Magicka all the time. I am constantly drinking potions because my magicka bar is empty. My eye is on the potion CD timer so that I can drink a potion as soon as its done.
So yeah, I am dreading these changes. It might make the game unplayable for me if I am already having a problem with resources. Its going to be even worse with even less recovery.Edited by Myyth on April 23, 2017 5:19PM -

Are you telling me you've never noticed the myriad of threads in the forums pre-every-patch decrying the incoming changes? Every large patch there's like twenty of them. Every one.
As for the "not everyone wants to" - sure, that I can understand. And if a famous player's desire to change their build/rotation is less than their desire to quit, I guess that's their choice too. But that's not going to keep me from considering them a big bubble-blowin' baby, either.

I've seen a myriad of threads decrying the incoming changes, yes. I've seen people take issues with specific parts of them. And, and this is the crucial part, THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO DISAGREE, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. Some of them make rather good arguements, I suggest you take a moment to -read- them before dismissing them outright.
At no point have I started hearing 'this will kill the game' until recently. And there is legitimate cause to think that. A change, changing the core pillar of how damage is delt without any edits to the content itself? It's entirely likely high end trials, end game PVE will suffer in an outright negative way for this.
If you wish to disagree with people, fine. But dont lie about their opinions with hyperbole.Edited by Doctordarkspawn on April 23, 2017 5:27PM -
ScooberSteve✭✭✭✭You people seriously dont get it do you. They drastically changed the game mechanics. I think i speak for everyone when i say im over grinding for gear. The effort it would take to regrind gear rebalance my build. Test how viable it is tweek it.

Let's say people disagree, but the changes they want ZOS to make don't happen. Then those people are left with three choices:

c) Quit altogether

Only evil deals in absolutes. And that is the definition of a absolute. Perhaps, rethink on the logic, or lackthereof.
Otherwise, let people get a consensus if you can stand quitting the thread and, in your own logic, being a bubble blowin' baby.

Thats fair, but honestly...things never change without protest.
if enough people disagree with it then everything is subject to change. Debate, protest, seek change. Sure there isnt "democracy" on the internet but...the principal of it in a community is there regardless of what or where that community is and even the devs say they are subject to change, they are set in stone.Ah, e-communities - the "pinnacle" of the internet............yeah, right. -

How does one nerf pve, if anything the content becomes more difficult for every player equally. The content is still very much doable, afaic the pve content in eso is too easy as it is. I dont see why theres an issue with content becoming all around harder for every player meaning the rewards from that content will be more rare and difficult to achieve which in turn makes pve feel alot more rewarding
Try a vet trial, the last time they tried to make them harder all they did was buff trash health and resistances now imagine running the same with your cost and sustain about half as effective because believe it or not as ability cost goes up (cp change) resource management becomes an issue (cp change) and it affects gear choice sustain over dps and with out high enough dps no one will even bother to run trials as they will take a very long time to complete.......... -
