PTS Patch Notes v3.1.1

Truthsnark

Please tell me the Bosmer female run animation is going to be fixed before this all goes live? And a fix for the Dunmer medium armor shoulders being way too big? I can't understand how these cosmetic issues get introduced in patches, I don't know enough about the process, but please fix them because it really impacts enjoyment of the game when all your characters have cosmetic glitches staring you in the face while you play.

What a waste of resources. Nice to see yall are hard at working focusing on pointless trash.

A bug is a bug. If it's a dot it should proc Skoria and scale with Thau. If it's not it shouldn't regardless of someone's personal preference. It's about continuity.

Yup a bug is a bug... and zos do nothing

Why was Torug's pact nerfed and the oblivion damage enchant left alone? The issue wasn't the ability to weave in the enchant damage between abilities, it was that doing so with oblivion damage was too strong.

This is actually a buff for Torug's Pact.

30% means that 10 second enchants are now 7 second cooldown instead of 9.

With Infused and Torug's, 10 second enchants are now 3.5 seconds instead of 4.

4 second enchants are now 2.8 instead of 3.

With infused/Torug's 4 second enchants are now 1.4 (assuming they were 1 before? not sure if torug's or infused applied first)

Hold up. I feel ive missed something important for a looooooong time that you just brought to my attention. Enchants have different cooldowns? I thought they all had the same cooldown time. Is it effected by weapon type the enchantmwnt is on? I feel so uninformed

So what will be BiS for mag nb now ? Tiwsting path is "fixed" and not DD anymore

Go create Stampler or Stam Sorc/Mag Sorc

@KeiruNicrom
Enchants that deal damage have a 5 second cooldown. Enchants that apply a 5 second effect have a 10 second cooldown.

hmmm, I just started with a MageBlade and I really like the playstile, sure when it comes to dps then my MagSorc is not to beat with it but hey, I'm close to 20k dps already and a few skills (also passives) are not at its max. and rota is far from beeing perfekt, so I assume that I'll finally end at around 25k+ dps and thats ok I think.. however I'm not playing scathing mage because I didn't farm it complete till now...

Not even remotely close. Magnbs are doing greatly, and losing 50 spell dmge won't affect them whatsoever.

Skills that deal damage after a few seconds as Curse, proximity detonation, unstable core... are increasing their damage with Master-at-Arms instead thaumatuge.

@LordSlif I'm not aware of this problem, but let me clarify some things. Many skills are affected by both Master-at-Arms and Thaumaturge. Let me explain you. Okay? Lets go:

X = Master-at-Arms.
Y = Thaumaturge.

Vampire's Bane (Sun Fire morph/Templar Ability)

• Blast an enemy with a charge of radiant heat, dealing X Flame Damage, an additional Y Flame Damage over 11.7 seconds (...)

Blazing Spear (Spear Shards/Templar Ability)

• Send your spear into the heavens to bring down a shower of divine wrath, dealing X Magic Damage to enemies in the area and an additional Y Magic Damage every 1 second for 8 seconds.

See? Spear Shards deals direct damage (X) in AoE! The same happens with Pulsar (Impulse morph/Destruction Staff ability)

Venomous Claw (Searing Strike morph/Dragonknight Ability)

• Rake an enemy with your claw, dealing X Poison Damage and an additional Y Poison Damage over 8.5 seconds.

Poison Injection (Poison Arrow morph/Bow Ability)

• Shoot an arrow coated in Baandari poison at an enemy, dealing X Poison Damage and and additional Y over 10 seconds.

As far as I know, Daedric Curse and Magicka Detonation are not considered DOT. "...after ? seconds" is not DOT, is Direct Damage.

Anyway. This is it. If you already know this, at least I leave the information to those who don't know.

Can you give/test/try applying the same behavior as Betty Betch and now Engine Guardian to SENTINEL OF RKUGAMZ so the dwemer spider can stick by your side instead of being static?

What's up with the motif drop rate nerfs? Someone at ZOS seems to think doing 12643788 iterations of the same to get one motif page equates to fun and replayability. It's not.

Hope that toggle for hiding friendly effects is still on the plate.

Ack...missed that part.... but it's also an issue ... but Wrobel commented in another thread that the idea of a toggle in settings was a good idea... let's hope they come through with it

This is tuned to keep us occupied for three months to finish collecting motifs (in average). This has always been so ... if you still keep following that particular hamster wheel (which I don't do anymore)

@ZOS_GinaBruno I know it has been mentioned many times and for good reason. Please reduce the damage on Selene and Valkyn Skoria. Also add a visual que to Valkyn Skoria because it is nearly impossible to hear it coming down on the receiving end.

Thank you for taking feedback seriously.

Shall we call ZOS out on this one? They said next patch but nothing. And no explanation in the patch notes?

Just saw this after posting. "Not in this patch, sorry! We're targeting the next PTS patch (3.1.2)." How disappointing.

@joaaocaampos (*Se quiser te explico melhor*)

Yep i know that, but if a skill procs valkyn it is DoT and it is a fact. Im not saying they must be a DoT, im saying:

ZOS has 2 options: fix skills or fix CP

LordSlif

Ill repeat
You will reduce the defending bonus to 2752, it is ok and it is nice, but you must remember that now the ice staff is equal to one handed and shield for magicka players.

So with shield expert and one handed defending: 3010+1376 = 4386 of resistance.

ice staff: 2752 of resistance (defending trait)

its a big diference for the same goal.
I propose to change shield expert to defense expert and add:

While you have an ice staff equipped you gain 2115 of resistance ( the total is like an one handed and shield reinforced).

I stopped motif farming too long ago. It's simply not worth the time.

Can we stop with the ridicilous talk about nerfing skoria already? The set is probably the most well balanced proc-set/monster helmet in the game. Cry me a river pls....

A few patches ago people were overwhelmed with joy when ZOS finally buffed skoria. And now people want it nerfed because they can´t stand it in NO-CP CAMPAIGN AND BATTLEGROUNDS......

I have a question. Wasn't the lightning splash damage a glitch that turned mechanic? If I'm right why can't the direct damge twisting path stay. The mNB isn't over performing, mDks have silks of the sun, sorcs got Necro, Templars need a set and mNB on live still has scathing. It makes the mNB unique and doesn't make them op. Let direct damage stay let mNB have something don't hurt them even further. Cause honestly it will flood the forum lol jk

The lack of response of zenimax sometimes causes them to appear uncommitted. It is unacceptable to allow the existence of a bug in the game
