PTS Patch Notes v3.1.0

ZOS_GinaBruno · July 2017

Welcome to The Elder Scrolls Online v3.1.0 and the Horns of the Reach DLC Game Pack!

This update comes in two parts–the DLC Game Pack and the base game patch. The base game patch will be available to everyone who owns The Elder Scrolls Online and the DLC Game Pack will automatically download with it, allowing you instant access to the new content when you purchase it or activate an ESO Plus membership.

Anyone who owns ESO and has an active ESO Plus membership will also automatically have access to the Horns of the Reach DLC Game Pack. If your ESO Plus membership ends or lapses, you will no longer have access to the DLC Game Pack content and areas, but you will still have any items you earned while you had access.

In this update, you’ll be able to explore and conquer two all-new 4 player dungeons – Bloodroot Forge and Falkreath Hold. These dungeons offer new item sets, Monster Masks, achievements and unique rewards!

We’ve also added a new Battlegrounds map – Arcane University – and a new game mode for Battlegrounds: Chaosball. Both of these are available to anyone who owns The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind. You’ll also find that we’ve added several new Medals to support Chaosball.

The base game patch features a number of new features including updates to the Master Writ Merchant, new housing furnishings, and numerous quality of life improvements. These include customizable combat cues, new guild features, research cancelling, bankable Writ Vouchers and Alliance Points, and more. And as always, we’ve made several fixes and improvements to existing content as well.

You’ll also note that we’ve added a new, separate Combat & Gameplay section to the patch notes so it’s clear which changes were done in an effort to improve balance, and which changes are bug fixes or minor improvements. We welcome any feedback you have about the structure of the patch notes.

We hope you enjoy this new update, which is approximately 2.3GB in size, and look forward to reading your feedback. Remember, there’s no NDA for this testing cycle so you’re welcome to discuss, stream, or post screenshots as much as you’d like. Enjoy!

DLC GAME PACK

New Dungeons: Bloodroot Forge & Falkreath Hold
We’ve introduced two new four-player dungeons, available as part of the Horns of the Reach DLC Game Pack!

Bloodroot Forge
- The Bloodroot Forge had been buried and hidden away for longer than any could remember, until the unification of Reachmen and Minotaur facilitated its rediscovery. Now, the fires of the ancient forge burn anew and the power emanating from it is palpable. Only blood and sacrifice to untamed nature can unlock its true potential and the Reachmen are generous in their offerings.
- You can find the entrance to Bloodroot Forge in southern Craglorn, west of Elinhir.
Falkreath Hold
- Falkreath is under attack by the combined forces of the fearsome Minotaur Domihaus the Bloody Horned and his Reachman marauder allies. This army of "beastmen" have adopted his visage when launching their attacks to inspire fear and terror, with much success. You must enter Falkreath and defend the hold as enemies pour through its broken walls set on its destruction.
- Falkreath Hold can be reached by taking the cart in front of the Easter Gate north-east of Elinhir.
Both Dungeons include a Normal version in addition to a challenging Veteran version.
You can acquire unique item sets, including two new Undaunted Monster Mask sets, only available within these dungeons.
Unique Achievement awards are available for completing these new dungeons, including:

ZOS_GinaBruno · July 2017

MORROWIND CHAPTER

New Battleground Game Mode: Chaosball
A new game mode is being introduced to the Battlegrounds grab bag with Chaosball added into the rotation for all maps!

This mode introduces a single “ball” in the game, and your team earns points by holding the ball.
You can carry the ball around and use your abilities freely, and there are no other requirements for scoring other than holding onto it as long as you can.
Holding the ball comes at a cost as the Chaosball has a stacking healing and shield debuff, as well as pulsing Oblivion damage to all allies in the area, including the ball carrier.
There are no Sigils of Power in this game mode.
The game ends when a team has scored 500 points or the match hits the 15 minute mark.

New Battleground Map: Arcane University
Arcane University is now available as a Battleground Map!

All game modes, including the new Chaosball, are active in this new zone.
You do not need to own the Imperial City DLC Game Pack to play in Arcane University, but you do need to own ESO: Morrowind to play in this map.
Access to Arcane University functions identically to all other Battlegrounds by utilizing the Party system through the Grouping Tool.

Miscellaneous Battlegrounds Updates
New Battleground Medals have been added to support Chaosball.

You earn a medal for each tick of scoring while holding the Chaosball, and can earn additional medals for holding the ball for at least 30, 60 or 90 seconds.
- The time based Medals are awarded when the ball is dropped or the match ends.
Healing medals have been adjusted to trigger off lower values across all game modes. This should result in more medals being earned for support play.

Three New Motifs
The Hlaalu, Redoran, and Telvanni Motifs are now available in Vvardenfell! These three styles and their associated style items can be found by stealing from citizens of Vvardenfell - picking their pockets, stealing from their safe boxes, and looting Thieves Troves left behind by fellow members of the Thieves Guild.

ZOS_GinaBruno · July 2017

BASE GAME PATCH

Miscellaneous Quality of Life Updates & Improvements
We’ve added a number of updates to the base game affecting guilds, researching, and even the types of items to can bank! This also includes various updates to UI screens relating to crafting, gameplay, and general itemization.

Guilds
- Guild Invites and Guild Invite Acceptances in the Guild History now include the account name of who extended the invitation.
- Added a guild rank permission for "View Guild Bank Gold" which controls a guild rank’s ability to see the amount of gold stored in the Guild Bank. This is enabled automatically when "Withdraw Guild Bank Gold" is selected.
Crafting & Enchanting
- You can now cancel an active research if you want to start researching something else instead.
  - Note: The item consumed during research initiation will not be refunded.
- Items can now be locked or unlocked from the improvement screen. Locked items can also be improved, but only if the chance is 100%.
- Equipped items can now be improved.
- You will no longer be warned that an item can be destroyed if the upgrade chance is 100%.
- Enchanting a locked item will now require an additional confirmation.
Gameplay
- We’ve added a setting - Combat Cues - in the Gameplay menu that will allow you to control the color and brightness of Friendly and Hostile combat cues. Enjoy!
- Damage over time abilities will now display the number of hits you received from that ability next to the ability icon in the Death Recap UI.
Itemization
- Furniture listed in Guild Stores can now be previewed.
- Added a warning for equipping Bind on Equip items that are blue-quality or higher.
You can now deposit Alliance Points and Writ Vouchers into your account bank where they may be withdrawn by any of your characters.
- Note: A character receiving Alliance Points in this fashion will not increase your Alliance Rank or progress in your Alliance War Skill Lines.
Crown Store categories that have new items in them will have a new indicator next to them.
Reporting a player will now also ignore them when the ticket is submitted.

Updates for Rolis Hlaalu, the Master Writ Merchant
Rolis Hlaalu's inventory has been updated! His gold furnishing plans have been replaced with new stock, so there is now a new gold quality furnishing plan for each profession available. The previously available recipes are being retired for the time being, though they may show up again at some point in the future in his selection or elsewhere.

New Furnishings
A number of new recipes and furnishings have been added to the game, obtainable by participating in various activity throughout the world. These include, but are not limited to, harvesting certain types of nodes or in certain areas, participating in Justice and defeating enemies in the new Horns of the Reach dungeons, Coldharbour, and Ayleid Ruins.

Champion Point Increase
The Champion Point cap has been raised by a total of 30 points (10 in each red/blue/green constellation). The Champion Point experience curve has been automatically adjusted with this new cap, so that earlier Champion Points require less experience and can be earned faster.

ZOS_GinaBruno · July 2017

Templates for this first patch will be similar to the final Morrowind PTS templates:

Level 50 characters for each alliance which start with many item sets available from the One Tamriel and Morrowind updates, and will start in their initial alliance zone.
They will also have the dungeon wayshrines revealed so you can easily travel to them.
The new item sets are not yet added to the templates; we want to encourage you to find them and also test utilizing existing item sets.
- We will be adding all new item sets and monster sets to the templates in the next PTS patch.
Creating a high-level templated character no longer floods your inbox with Rewards for the Worthy mails.
Fixed an issue with the Medusa weapon bag in the character templates where it gave some incorrect items.

ZOS_GinaBruno · July 2017

General

Adjusted Elemental status effects, such as Burning or Concussion, so they now scale with your Max Magicka or Max Stamina, in addition to your Spell Damage or Weapon Damage. Their damage has also been adjusted due to this new scaling and should remain relatively unchanged (with an exception to Burning, which now deals approximately double the damage of before).

- Fire Rune: This ability and its morphs are now hidden to enemy player characters.

Buffs and Debuffs

Major/Minor Defile: This debuff now also decreases the enemy’s Health Recovery in addition to decreasing their healing received.
Developer Comments:
This introduces more counterplay against Health Recovery builds or Item Sets, such as Troll King, which grant large amounts of Health Recovery.

Mundus Stones
Developer Comments:

Mundus Stone values and bonuses have been re-tuned with a focus on improving overall diversity. Almost all Mundus Stones were buffed, with the exception of The Thief which was slightly nerfed due to it overshadowing all other choices. The Lady was upgraded to grant both Spell and Physical Resistance, and The Lover was completely redesigned to grant Spell and Physical Penetration to counteract The Lady and provide greater flexibility in stat choices.

We’ve also standardized Mundus Stone values against other systems that grant similar bonuses, such as enchantments or Item Sets, so you can customize the stats you care about in each system without needing to worry about weighing the exact values against each other. Mundus Stones are now equivalent to 1.85x of an Item Set bonus.

The values and bonuses of most Mundus Stones have been adjusted in the following ways, with the listed values being for CP160+ characters:
- The Apprentice: Increased Spell Damage to 238 from 167.
- The Atronach: Increased Magicka Recovery to 238 from 167.
- The Lady: Now grants Spell Resistance in addition to Physical Resistance. Value increased to 2752 from 1980.
- The Lover: Now grants 2752 Physical and Spell Penetration instead of granting Spell Resistance.
- The Lord: Increased Max Health to 2231 from 1452.
- The Mage: Increased Max Magicka to 2028 from 1320.
- The Serpent: Increased Stamina Recovery to 238 from 167.
- The Steed: Increased Health Recovery to 238 from 167.
- The Thief: Reduced Critical Strike Chance to 9% from 11%.
- The Tower: Increased Max Stamina to 2028 from 1320.
- The Warrior: Increased Weapon Damage to 238 from 167.
- The Shadow and The Ritual remain unchanged.

General

In an effort to reduce the visual effect noise in group combat situations, we’ve hidden most visual effects from persistent damaging area of effect abilities cast by your allies. Area of effect abilities that have a synergy, healing, or defensive component that can benefit you will still be visible, and area of effect abilities cast by enemies will also still be visible.
- Affected player abilities include the following:
  - Ash Cloud and its morphs

Weapon Traits
Developer Comments:

Similar to how Mundus Stones were changed, Weapon Trait values have also been rebalanced with a focus on improving overall diversity. Almost all Weapon Traits were buffed, with the exception of Sharpened and Defending which were nerfed due to them over-performing. They should still remain one of the strongest options for increasing your damage or survivability, but now the power difference between them and other traits is no longer so massive.

Prosperous was completely re-designed to grant a new combat function and will be an interesting choice for builds seeking to maximize resource recovery gains. Pairing the Divines trait with a recovery Mundus Stone will grant more recovery for that particular stat, but Prosperous will grant more recovery overall.

Adjusted the values and bonuses of most Weapon Traits in the following ways, with the listed values being for Two-Handed, gold-quality items:
- Decisive: Increased the chance to generate one additional Ultimate to 40% from 34%.
- Defending: Reduced the Spell and Physical Resistance granted to 2752 from 5160.
- Infused: Increased the bonus value granted to the applied enchantment to 30% from 20%, and increased the cooldown reduction to the applied enchantment to 50% from 40%.
- Nirnhorned: Increased the bonus to the weapon’s damage to 15% from 11%.
- Powered: Increased the bonus to healing done to 9% from 7%.
- Precise: Increased the Critical Strike Chance granted to 9% from 7%.
- Sharpened: Reduced the Spell and Physical Penetration granted to 2752 from 5160.
- Charged, Intricate, Ornate, and Training remain unchanged.
The Prosperous Armor Trait has been re-designed to give it a combat function. It now grants 11 Health, Magicka, and Stamina Recovery as a gold-quality item, instead of gold gain.
Reduced the damage on the Damage Health (Oblivion) weapon enchantment by approximately 6%.
Weapon enchantments will no longer proc if the initial attack is dodged.

Item Sets
Developer Comments – “Proc Set” changes and Monster Mask balance:

Item Sets have received two major rebalancing efforts this update with a focus on introducing more counterplay to certain Item Set procs and improving diversity in Monster Mask choices.

To introduce more counterplay to certain Item Set procs, we’ve changed the method in which they deal damage. While we are happy with the current damage values of these Item Sets, having them deliver that damage in unavoidable bursts has led to an unsatisfying PvP experience. The procs of these Item Sets now have unique mechanics to delay their damage, along with accompanying visual effects to allow more time to react to them.

To go hand-in-hand with the release of two new Monster Mask Item Sets, we’ve rebalanced most of the older Monster Masks. To ensure that every Monster Mask conforms to similar Damage, Healing, and Survivability standards, most Monster Masks were brought up in power though a few were adjusted slightly downward.

Universally adjusted the values of some 1, 2, 3, and 4-piece bonus stats for all Item Sets:
- Max Health, Magicka, or Stamina has been increased by 13.3%
- Weapon Critical or Spell Critical rating has been increased by 55%
- Physical or Spell Resistance has been increased by 13.8%
- Physical or Spell Penetration has been decreased by 22%
Any monster summoned by an Item Set proc now inherits any bonuses you have. The most notable bonuses are damage done and healing done from passive abilities, Major/Minor buffs, or the Champion System.
Blood Spawn: Decreased the amount of Ultimate generated by this Item Set’s proc to 14 Ultimate from 15.
Death’s Wind: This Item Set now grants crowd-control immunity to the enemy after knocking them back.
Grothdarr: Decreased the damage of this Item Set’s proc by 10%.
Ilambris: Decreased the damage of this Item Set’s proc by 10%.
Lord Warden: Increased the radius of this Item Set’s proc to 8 meters from 5 meters.
Nerien’eth: Increased the damage of this Item Set’s proc by 20%.
Nightflame: Increased the proc chance from this Item Set to 5% from 3%, and changed the 1-piece bonus to Max Magicka instead of Max Health.
Poisonous Serpent: Increased the proc chance of this Item Set to 50% from 25%, but decreased the damage to 3400 Poison Damage from 6800 Poison Damage.
Selene: This Item Set’s proc now displays a hostile telegraph to enemy players indicating its area of effect.
Sellistrix:
- Increased the damage of this Item Set’s proc by 30%.
- Decreased the time it takes for the proc to erupt to 1.5 seconds from 2 seconds.
- Increased the cooldown of this Item Set’s proc to 5.5 seconds from 5 seconds.
Shadowrend:
- Changed this Item Set’s proc to occur when you take damage instead of when you deal damage.
- Increased the proc chance of this Item Set to 15% from 5%.
- The Monster summoned by this Item Set’s proc now deals Magic Damage instead of Physical Damage.
- Increased the duration of the Minor Maim debuff applied by this Item Set to 10 seconds from 5 seconds.
Shadow of the Red Mountain: This Item Set’s proc now spawns a volcano that erupts after one second and launches a projectile at the closest enemy, instead of instantly dealing unavoidable damage.
Shieldbreaker: This Item Set’s proc now only occurs once for each cast of a Lightning or Restoration Staff heavy attack.
Slimecraw: Changed the 1-piece bonus to a double 1-piece bonus of both Weapon and Spell Critical Strike Chance instead of Health Recovery.
Spawn of Mephala: Increased the damage of this Item Set’s proc by 5%, and changed the 1-piece bonus to Max Stamina instead of Max Health.
Stormfist: Increased the shock damage of this Item Set’s proc by 10%. The physical damage portion remains unchanged.
Swarm Mother: Decreased the cooldown of this Item Set’s proc to 1 second from 2 seconds.
Velidreth: This Item Set’s proc now occurs after a 1 second delay, and displays a warning visual on the set wearer when the proc occurs.
Viper’s String: This Item Set’s proc now deals its damage over 4 seconds instead of dealing it instantly.
Widowmaker: This Item Set’s proc now drops a spore on the ground in front of you that explodes after 1 second instead of instantly dealing unavoidable damage.

Item Sets

Fixed a rare issue where some Item Set procs could critically strike.
Armor of Truth: This item set’s proc will now function correctly when you set an enemy off-balance.
Galerion’s Revenge: Fixed an issue where this item set was displaying the wrong name in Death Recap.
Light Speaker: Fixed an issue where this Item Set was not adding Spell Damage to Restoration Staff light and heavy attacks.
Ravager: Updated this Item Set’s tooltip to indicate its proc cooldown.
Shroud of the Lich: Updated this Item Set’s tooltip to more clearly indicate its proc condition.
Vestments of the Warlock: Updated this Item Set’s tooltip to more clearly indicate its proc condition.

Traits

you mention FOUR new motifs, but here I count only three... what is the fourth one?

"While we are happy with the current damage values of these Item Sets, having them deliver that damage in unavoidable bursts has led to an unsatisfying PvP experience"

Why are you nerfing sets like Ilambris which are purely PvE and NOBODY complained about them? It's not a PvP set! Why (again!) PvE playerbase is getting nerfed because of PvP?

Now I don't have to pass my one and only Sharp Maelstrom Inferno back and forth between my characters every time I switch.
