is anyone else got the feeling everyone got nerfed just for the newbies comfort? little difference between having champions on and off
pvp locked to non champion system in favor of newcomers , vet players still nerfed , 2 years of gaining champions wasted , 1 campaign 30 days long the rest is non champion

bots roam tamriel free not bothered by zenimax ... again

    • Sprint penalty while not moving is stupid. Regen shouldn't stop because you're holding the shift key - runners don't stop recovering simply because they're in the starting blocks.
    • I'd still like to see some official word on what does and does not qualify as direct damage, as there are still some skills that are counterintuitive (Twisting Path).
    • I didn't see anything about the BoL change, so they either reverted it, or they missed in the patch notes...
    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    Apart from them killing repentance I think its mostly a change for the good.

    I't would take more than a patch to alleviate most of the issues I have with this game, like moving my country closer to the US (not sure if worth it).

    Its a lot of rushed changes...but it seems the overall focus was to somehow related to Morrowind

    I remember that combat system where you would swing 20 times but hit once until each particular skill was advanced.....the combat in this server style seems to have taken a strong resemblance from that game and explained as balance.

    I have been trying to access the EU server for an hour now, I keep timing out.

    This is not a bug. This is a lack of investment in capacity.

    The term 'online' implies 'instant access'. Queueing for access is batch process and by definition not 'online'.

    Australian legislation (applicable worldwide) refers to 'fit for purpose'. Currently, this product does not meet this definition.

    I got suspenders for saying "Testicular Mass" instead of "Balls". like, rilly.

    If it's a direct damage AOE like the Warden's Scorch or the DW Whirlwind then yeah. If it's an AOE DOT like the Destro Wall of Elements or the Sorc Liquid Lightning then no.

    Some stuff is good, I think. For example more XP from quests. Though I don't want to praise them for it, because I remember writing feedback on this very topic, in beta, 3 years ago.

    Some stuff I'm largely ambivalent about. Such as them moving away from CP. Either grow some cojones and axe the whole thing and stop pu**yfooting about, or enable it game-wide and balance it properly. The whole CP/non-CP thing should NOT be happening. Especially when they are saying they don't want to balance PvE and PvP separately. And yet immediately, in the same breath, announce no-CP PvP for majority of content, and CP PvE for majority of content. Is that not separate balancing?

    And some stuff I frankly loathe. Such as most of the balancing changes, but not even related to sustain. Like Grim Focus. Somehow they took an already obtuse ability, and in the process of buffing it made it even more obtuse. Same with Siphoning Strikes, they took something unique and beautiful and turned it into Rally For Stamina. Still better than previous iteration though.

    @Sabbathius

    Because they essentially didn't remove the Old Veteran System and identified VR as a problem but merged it into CP which was supposed to be a completely separate system to resolve the first system......Do you think their decisions previously continue to impact their direction going forward.

    Maybe just remove both systems entirely without replacing it, initially?
    Maybe that could've been Morrowind....

    Pretty normal patch day issues, FPS somewhere between 10-19, issues with guild traders not wanting to show there wares or not taking my selling orders, ppl obviously lagging out in PVP ... Strange thing tho I had a fight and my healthbar just quivered 2-3 mm before jumping back to full health (Not sure if the guy next to me was healing me like his life depended on it ... I said ty but i never got a replie - so pls do not tell Zeni endless-sustain is back, its just bugged)

    Just finished reading the patch notes and I am a little nervous now. I am a new player and all of my characters are still under level 50. I mostly solo. I'm worried about being able to survive boss fights now. I guess I'll see how it is after I get patched and try it.

    I was very sad to see that with all of the housing fixes they did not allow guests with decoration privileges to add furniture. As before, this missing feature is keeping me and several other people I know from dropping a hundred bucks in crowns on a big home. C'mon, ZOS, this is easy stuff, even LOTRO has it.

    I don't think any of these changes makes PVP or PVE easier for newbies, other than battlegrounds being strictly non-CP.

    Their bad changes.

    Either nerf the content to suit or reverse the nerfs, nothing more needs to be said. The stuff we predicted was gonna happen, is happening. The loss of DPS is making battles like Firemaw bottlenecks that most wont get past. Suck it up, folks. You were wrong, this isn't something you can just adapt your way past. Not without more trouble than it's worth.

    At least from a pvp perspective, non cp pvp fixes a lot of imbalances.
